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.

Wanted to add, when we got our Spyder, Jan of 2014, it came with 2 years warranty, BRP was offering two additional years promo, that gave us 4 years BRP warranty, which I did utilize for DESS, a shifter paddle setup, and a heavily corroded floorboard that never got fully powdercoated.
So at purchase, 4 years of oem BRP warranty, and purchased 4 years RPM One. 8 years total, so the 2014 Spyder is still covered for 2 more years.
In Florida, BRP extended warranties are not sold. Has to do with the state insurance commission or something. Even if it were, the BRP warranty caps at 5 years I believe.
Most people go with BRP. If you want that, you may need to shop out of state for it.

Hi Tom....seems most are going with the 3-year BEST extension. iMotorsports (Chicago) and Sierra Cycles (AZ, I believe) are offering it around $671. Greg (It can be purchased over the phone)

Sounds high. Granted, we bought in 2014, and got one more year, need to double check with wife, maybe 1100.
Call Chris Bronson at CFPS, ask him what CFPS charges if you are comparing.

I bought three years of Best in 2016 for my 2014 RTS for something like $700. I think the only thing I had fixed under it was a replacement of the steering shaft as it had excessive handlebar play.

I took RPM on my 2015 for 3 yrs, and paid 869... the salesmen now say I got a really good deal because it's much higher now. I've used it 3 or 4 times too, with no problems and no deductible. It even paid for my tow when the electric parking brake controller failed and would not release the brakes... everything fixed for $0, just last fall. I had to pay only for my cab ride home, 12 mi. (which I didn't even attempt to claim). I originally went with RPM because it's refundable upon cancellation if you sell your bike. I lost $360 on my extended BEST 3-yr warranty when I traded the 2012 before expiration, because that warranty stays with the machine and you're on your own to resell it (I only got half).
I understand RPM's been acquired by a different company now, so YMMV.

Did the $700 BEST cost pay for itself ? That said, my Triumph 800 Tiger dealer only dealt with RPM as Triumph doesn't offer their own plan. The dealership stated they never had issues with RPM, that's why they selected them. Gee, a four year plan for my 800 Tiger would have been $750, with a five year being $860. Need to find a dealer who will deal with RPM to get a fair cost estimate for the Spyder. They do have a $50 deduct tho if I remember correctly.

My RPM has zero deductible.

Don't know, but probably. The steering column parts were probably about $300 or so, but replacing them would probably have been an all day job since the entire front end had to be taken apart.

Came from the 2 different dealers I spoke with. Went with the RPM as it was longer and covered more components. I was also Air Defense Artillery. Nike Hercules nukes surrounding N.Y.C.. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Fair enough. According to you, a Florida dealer is now able to sell a BRP BEST warranty.
My info came from people / friends that deal with this within the powersports industry. Maybe the state insurance commission changed and now allows them to sell here. In the past even the advertisement for BEST warranty had a Florida disclaimer.
So at this point, you are stating BEST warranty is available at Florida Spyder dealers, that will be great news to many.

This is bad...scroll down to the section “Ready For The Best”, better read what is inside the parenthesis.
I am guessing your dealer is another typical clueless Spyder dealer.

Yes, I see that it says not available in FL. However, at the time I purchased my Spyder in Jan 2019, my selling dealer offered me the BEST warranty for around $1200. From information on this forum I called Sierra Cycles in Arizona and purchased it from them for $570 as shown on the attachment. After a month of so, I called BRP customer service on the phone, talked to a CSR who pulled up my VIN and told me in no uncertain terms that my BEST warrant was in their system and valid anywhere Spyders are sold, including my home state of Florida. They also emailed me the attached contract acknowledgment (I've deleted my personal info and VIN # but left the state ID in). When visiting my selling dealer, they also checked and said it was in the system and valid. Maybe things have changed since then, who knows.

Your dealer was wrong. The state insurance commission in Florida does not allow a Florida dealer to sell BEST.
You may live in Florida but did not truly purchase your warranty in Florida. You purchased your warranty essentially mail order from another state where it is allowed.
You are correct though, the BEST warranty program is accepted by Florida dealers.
Based on the BRP published info, nothing has changed.
