• 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.

I just got done typing a twenty minute pm to steve at brp cares about my down and out 2015 f3s with spline and pulley issues. wanted to let him know I was disappointed with being without a ride with busy planned weeks ahead for trips and prepaid reservations at campgrounds (non refundable) etc. etc. only to find out that brp doesn't accept pm's!!! now I have to let him know this way that I just found out the pulleys and splines are on back order!!! what does that say??? "there are a lot of f3's with the same issue," or "they have pulled the parts because they are the issue?" can't believe that there aren't pulleys and splines in manufacturing that could be shipped if the parts were ok.!! would like to hear from you as to how long i'm going to without a ride!!nojoke
 
Steve has answered PM's when they have been sent to BRPcare in the past. He solved some issues for me when I purchased my 2014.

Sorry to hear of your issue and the backordered parts that you need for your :ani29:.

BRP seems to be cyclical when it comes to good/bad problem solving issues.

Dare I say that its starting to look like some issues with the F3? This based on many different complaints being posted.

From my 2 year observations of BRP I'd suggest that you don't hold your breath. IMO they have NO forward thinking orcustomer service after the sale.
 
Stock.....

Stocking has always been a problem. Don't know why they may only stock production parts cause other suppliers of oem parts don't seem to have a problem. Do hope you can get through and make your frustration clear to them. Keeping my fingers cross they can get you a solution as soon as possible....:gaah:

Same just happened to me. I guess the times they are a changing. :sour:

Try a regular e-mail [email protected] This also worked for me.

I sent Steve a PM about a week ago and got the same response. I had to chuckle, knowing full well why BRPCares no longer accepts PM's. I just found another avenue to get BRP my message.

You won't. After I posted a rant about BRPCare doesn't care Steve got back to me. BRP Care is a group of about 20 people who monitor all sorts of social media, not just SL. They have monitoring software that picks up pertinent messages but it does not monitor PMs. At my suggestion they started posting the message you saw about not using PMs.

The best way to contact BRP Care is through the contact page on the BRP website or direct email at the address above.

For the complete discussion of this issue read this thread. I suggest you read it all the way through as Steve gives a good explanatory response near the end. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?89709-Does-BRPCare-care&highlight=brpcare
 
2 months 2 days

Hope you get your bike fixed sooner than I did. 2014 RTS SE6 down 2 months 2 days at dealer for diagnose and repair head gasket, GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I too just sent a disgruntled letter to brp.care, probably they won't get it or even respond back.

Can Am Hasn't Changed

I have owned 2 Spyders, 2009 RS and 2012 RT, and had no problems with the RS. Had the orange screen of death several times with the RT which caused me to trade it. I could never fully enjoy my rides when in the back of my head I kept wondering when it was going to shut me down again. Can Am has had plenty of time to make Spyders reasonably reliable but they have not done so. On top of that it is hard to find a good dealer and many of you have posted about the hassle of trying to get something out of the home office. Can Am charges a hefty price for a machine that might get you there or it might not. Please - I don't want to hear about those of you who have made trips of thousands of miles with no problems. That's not the point. The problem with Can Am is the people who make it - they don't give a damn and as long as people like many on this forum keep buying them they never will give a damn. I now ride a very reliable motorcycle and that is a Yamaha, my 3d, and I NEVER worry about the bike breaking down on me - EVER. Why am I posting this? I have continued to pop in on Spyderlovers to see what is going on in the world of Spyders and keep informed about what's new and hoping that someday things would change but alas - over the years nothing has changed. I will continue to check in and read many of your posts but I will never leave Yamaha again - proven the most reliable and trustworthy motorcycle in the world.
