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.
14K service and OOOOPS! I don't think this is good!

Seems this comes up a lot. BRP revised the service schedule for 2008-2012 Spyders. They did this in 2012!!!
Now the schedule is every 4600 miles. When BRP first released this schedule it said EXCEPT California. But a later memo did not exclude California!

Sniff, sniff... :shocked:
Darth is at the dealer now. Now awaiting how long it will take based on any possible parts they do not have and will need to order....
NorCalBud, I did chat with Niles at Bert's about the service schedule. They are going to confirm the Ca. thing. Either way if Ca. is excluded, it's because of Ca. EPA reasons not because there is a strange vortex in Ca. causing service schedules to be different
FYI if you want the Service Bulletin that went to dealers AND the letter that went to users/customers. Here is a ZIP containing both.

Hang in there... :thumbup:
I feel your pain.
Try sleeping later, watching more reality shows, and NOT calling the dealer every seventeen minutes for updates... :shocked:

It's hard to let someone else work on it. It will likely have a good outcome. Then you start to imagine bad scenarios happening like the job being assigned to the new apprentice they hired last week. :shocked:

Bob,
This really sucks, and I feel for you. But on the positive side with all the gears in there, you are lucky the screw did not wedge between the gears and cause major damage. Keep the faith, Take Care.

Just got a call from the dealer. Good news is BRP acknowledged the warranty work. Bad news as I suspected, the dealer doesn't have the clutch housing gasket and seals in stock. I figured that would be the case but its understandable. Now outlook for my Spyder to be fixed is mid next week. If all goes well, looks like I will be able to ride the Bert's canyon cruise May 9th. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the info Bob! I somehow missed that info, but that's exactly why I asked about it. I just turned 12k miles and have been attempting to stay current with the schedule. But a 2k mile reprieve can sure help when I have Spyder, car and Truck Insurance due this month.
I'm glad things are working out well for you so far regarding the "foreign matter".
Thanks again!

Maybe you can hang out in the showroom; bumming test rides on all of the bikes... 
Don't forget to drink up ALL of the coffee, eat every donut, ad ask a gazillion questions to anybody within earshot...
They'll find a way to get the parts, and get you out of there! :roflblack:
Good Luck! :thumbup:

Yes I figured since they are going to tear it down I am having everything done now for the 14K service except what I had already done (plugs and wires). My estimate is $900 not counting my SRA-LA discount and of course minus the warranty work for the set screw.
I also did an oil change and they think they will be able to do everything without dumping it but I told them to do it if they had any indication they needed to since the valve covers will be off.

Since the valve covers are off did you tell them to fix the oil in the air box issue you said you had in another post. It is a reasonably easy fix.

The oil leak was not from the air box. It was caused by oil squirting from that set screw hole forcing it up between the clutch housing the and engine case. It was not from the air box.
