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.

Is that when your 2 year standard warranty is up because that's how long you have to get the BEST warranty. However, you have 3 months from your initial purchase before you are hit with an extra surcharge. I originally purchased a 1 year Best and then went for 2 additional years on the best and was hit with the surcharge.
I bought a PE, ordered in 2007. As we have learned from purchasing anything with a computer in it....always buy the extended warranty for anything purchased in the first year or two of existance. There are always bugs to be worked out. I tell people it is like buying Vista...I am working out the bugs so that you have a better product. 
yea, I bought it in May...how much was your surcharge, I knew there was one but I'm thinking now a sensor or dps gone bad would run a good buck
I have a brother in law who is a service manager and he always tells me it is just a money maker for the dealer so it is hard to tell when to get it and when not to. Every time I get one nothing happens to the product and when I don't it does.:dontknow:I bought a PE, ordered in 2007.

I don't have it yet. I bought my Spyder used. No choice but to buy it after the initial three month period. I've already checked into the BEST warranty. I forget what the price is, but have a guarantee the price won't change until after August. I'm probably going to buy it when I have my 3000 mile service done. Already at the mileage. Just waiting on the recall fix.

called my dealer $849 plus $225 surcharge for three years. It is $75 for each year for the surcharge. :dontknow:
Anyone not getting it? Not sure how much this stuff all is. I could just put away $1100 away and use it over three years. Thats about $400 a year(interest) that I would be allowed in repair bills.

I bought mine back when it was $550.
However, on a vehicle this new, with all of the gadgets and particularly the CanBus system... with all of the processors... I would still get it at $1,100. One processor... or steering system... or extended diagnostic time... and you've paid for it.
There is a reason the price has gone up in the last year. BRP has figured out what it will take to support the ongoing life cycle.

My dealer will sell it to you for 925.00, including the surcharge...if interested, PM me and I'll give you his number...
Getting one is a no-brainer...if you have a computer problem, one incident alone could cost over 1000.00!
sounds tempeting but then who do I take it to to get it fixed. Sure my dealer wouldn't be happy that I got it somewhere else

The dealer usually asks where you purchased the spyder, not where you purchased the warranty. If you can get it cheaper thru bone crusher's dealer, I say go for it.

All that sounds good on paper, uh, cyber-paper. But, with interest rates far lower than inflation rates, it makes sense to spend $1,000 now (estimated) rather than $1,000+ later (when prices rise) for repair work. The "present value" of money now is less than the "future value" of money later in a inflationary period.
Maybe we can get a package deal :ani29:

After lurking around this forum for month, while I browbeat the dealers into a deal, I got the BEST 3yr add-on with the bike as part of the deal for $750. I think it's worth twice that to the bike's value...
