• 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.

Electronic Repair Manual Choices

I currently have the electronic manuals from Midwest Manuals (manuals4mechanics) for the 2014 RTs we had and for the 2015 F3s I still have. Looking for a manual for our 2016 F3t and wonder if anyone has compared the manuals from Midwest and TechSpark

I just looked at the website. The Tech Spark Studio manuals are the fancy dancy page flipping format. The Midwest manuals (they are available under several different names) have been, and I presume still are, plain old, but restricted, PDF documents. The only difficulty I have encountered with the Midwest manual is you cannot copy and paste the text or photos from it, but you can print them. I wasn't impressed with the print quality of the Tech Spark example document. You can copy text from the sample pages on the Tech Studio site but I don't know if that can be done with a Can Am manual. The Midwest has a good search capability. I see no search option on the Tech Spark example doc.

For myself, I would stick with the Midwest manuals even though I question their legitimacy. You can't find any info about whether or not they are sanctioned by BRP.

Here's the link to the Tech Spark example doc. http://www.techsparkstudio.com/tss/gen/Example/index.html
