• 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.

Anyone install a gear/shift indicator?

FOOTNOTE TO MY FOOTNOTE

I get the gist of your worries now. Having part of the display disappear is inconvenient, to say the least. Still, you should never be seeing "R" at all while in a forward gear or neutral. I still think the GPS is wonky. Given your previous problem with phantom codes, I'd suspect wiring issues again. A second cleaning and application of dielectric grease could help. I'd certainly contact BRP Customer Support and explain that the previous issue has reappeared. If the specify (and authorize) the fix and contact the dealer, it usually goes better. Hopefully they will ask for a wiring harness replacement.

You can get the codes while running...in fact you should get them ASAP while they are active and the warnings are active. For ammunition, I'd take a pic of the warning(s) on the display, then take pics of the fault codes or the blank screen if there are none. That will help in the diagnosis. You may even want to email them to BRP customer service.

Scotty, thankyou,thankyou, thankyou, just so you know I have only these TWO wiring add-on's , both of which were done six months ago..I added a stereo which has a fused power source and ground....and a spliced in wiring harness connector ( that has a convertor specifically designed for MTC. that has separate brake/turn lights )...and neither one of those triggered any problems in the past six months ( 12 mos for the stereo )..this is just info for possible consideration/elimination of the causation......Mike....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

If you are trying to prove to the dealer that something is wrong try mounting a video camera so it is watching the dash then go for a ride until the error shows and show the video to the dealer and tell them to explain it.
 
You guys need some beer lol. I have sport bike past, and I fully embrace the spyder platform. On rare occasion I throwback to old ways and the gearshift position light was a welcomed sight on my ZX-6R. I tear up the road on my spyder and simply miss the heads up position of it.

I can count quite well. When I ride, I sometimes take in the scenery and blissfully forget what gear I'm in when downshifting. In addition, I look for a 6th that's not there :)

It's. 50$ non invasive install...if and when I do it, I'll post it. Everybody have a nice week.
