• 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.

2013 RT Fire, 26 July 2014

Dat Guy,

Your updates are REALLY appreciated.

Wishing you the best of luck toward reaching a speedy and fair conclusion.
 
WHOA!!

I'm glad your ok.. I just bought a 2012 RT Limited lava bronze in April. I hope this don't happen to mine. That's scary!!! Thank GOD your ok..nojoke
 
BRP OWES YOU A NEW BIKE AND NOT A 2013. A bike burning up is a serious risk to your life and others on the road. BRP should learn from Chevrolet and not hide there head it the sand. They need to act now before the situation gets much worse for them.

Hope per your situation is resolved soon.
 
They WILL have ot consider the value of your Farkles; at least in part... :thumbup:
Glad to hear that there IS some progress; albeit in small steps... :shocked:
 
I also went through for insurance purposes an added up all the farkles I had bought for my Spyder. I only added up things I had reciepts for, so I actually left a lot of stuff off. Take a look at this list of stuff that went up in flames with it.

Upgraded front speakers - $65.00

Ouch. If there's a lesson here for me to learn it's that buying accessories and add-ons aren't worth it in the long run.

When I totalled my two wheeler I gave Geico the list of add-on's and receipts and they put the amount right on top of the retail book value, no questions asked. Maybe heat wrap they'd have questioned (dunno), but I had a lot of farkles and they just wrote a check, even the $580 for a new helmet.
 
I been tracking the fires for years and I have a 2011 RS-S SE5 and I taped the headers, removed flammel materials, put heat shields around the fuel lines, I take the canister off and empty it, I inspect the fuel lines and gas cap, installed BajaRon spark plugs & spark plugs wires, installed heat & acoustical mat on the fuel/gas tank, and install air scoops to put more cooler air around the gas tank. I now feel safe. That's IMHO.

Thankful that you're OK !

If one picture is worth a thousand words then this cluster fork is worth five thousand words. I don't think that I will ever feel as safe as I once did. :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:
