My motorcycle has an internal NETWORK? Oh no....say it ain't so...can the NSA invade it?

Yes it does! hyea:It's called the CAN bus (Controller Area Network) system. But SpyderAnn is referring to the BRP system in Canada where all of the vital statistics of all our Spyders, and other rec machines, is stored. The latter probably is, or has been, hacked by NSA! :yikes: The BUDS program and cable she mentioned can be used to write updates to Spyder's nanny.

If you have a relatively new car, it has a network in it also. But have no fear. If you are anything like me, you are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things the NSA computer knows not to waste time keeping track of you, or me! Insignificance has its benefits! :clap:

I got the update to my system about three same time dealers were getting theirs. I was aligning a 2013 yesterday and as soon as I hooked it up to BUDS the system let me know he had not had the 2013-9 update. I am familiar with other motorcycle diagnostic programs and I have not seen any indications that these are less than the full program, other than connecting to the dealer network.
