• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

14 Alignement

Help me understand

Why does BRP not buy this magical alignment system. This is nuts that every, or almost every bike delivered is out of alighment.

Unfortunately the Spyders are not completely assembled at the factory, assembly is completed by the dealer during the PDI. The Outlaw (ROLO) system aligns the Spyder with the wheels in place and the drive belt adjusted and the sprocket aligned, so the factory would have to do the PDI then disassemble the Spyder somewhat, for crating, and the dealer would have to put it back together and not mess with the rear wheel. In short, this system is better used by dealers and independent specialists. The factory does use a laser alignment tool to set the Spyders at the factory, but it uses a very different procedure and distances, and is not as precise, nor does it align to the rear wheel (3-wheel alignment), but rather the frame (2-wheel alignment.) Most Spyders are within the BRP specs as delivered, but that spec is for an unloaded Spyder and it isn't as precise a measurement as the other system provides. In other words, the factory alignment may be good (although some are not), but the ROLO alignment is better.
