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.

That sucks
Hope you get some resolution soon , I had to practically beg to have my sensors installed the other day instead of " a week or so before we can look at it"Well I thought the engine was out but it seems not... I stopped by on our way to Guido's and took a couple of photos. The service manager was not around so we headed north.
Looks like some bits are off but not the engine.

Good thing I'm not in a bind to ride, I have the Bluewing still in the stable. I'm sure they are juggling all the time so I give them a nudge about once a week.

We can only pass by on Saturday, wife is out of vacation. We want to look at the Ultimate seat for the Spyder.
Just got off the phone with the very nice service manager and they are filing a case Monday to get a complete motor. Timing chain broke in two places, pistons and bores scarred up so a real mess on the inside but I tried to tell them that.

I have a problem somewhat like yours. It had a bad the gauge that has the tack and speedometer and it had water in it. I replaced the gauge and now it showing the correct codes and now it's getting fixed. I should be getting back this week.

Just got off the phone with the service manager and the new short block has been approved by BRP and the parts are on the way to put the Spyder back together. She said it looks funny with just the frame and rear part still on the bike. Going to look for a new seat for it at SpyderFest...

Good to hear it should be fixed soon. Any ideas on what failed first?

The tech said something about a gasket failing so I assume it stopped up the suction side of the primary oil pump as the oil tank was over full. I'll quiz him in person when I pick it up.

Thanks, I really wanted a more comfortable seat after the Spyders on the Bayou ride and finding out the new engine only cost me $50 made me decide to dig up a mason jar and head to Springfield. Really I just wanted to see and chat with Roger a bit but the seat was a bonus.

Hi JT glad to hear things are working out well so far with your Spyder. I'm sure you will love the Ultimate Seat. Disappointed we didn't run in to each other at the vendor village. Had a few people ask me about the dash mount bar. I pointed them in your direction.
