• 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.

HAD IT OUT WITH TECH

My techies and I have a great relationship and upon my reading about high temps and melting reservoirs I pass this info down for them to keep a weather eye open. There are ways of transmitting your displeasure without raising voices and generating unnecessary projection of attitude on all parts. When dealing with someone who has your life in their hands, it pays to "be nice".
 
When I had my problem, and went to the Coeur D'Alene dealership, I found the tech to be helpful :clap:. He was overwhelmed with having to answer phone and talk to others that had bykes in shop. Service manager nowhere in sight. Flaming the tech or dealership after 1 experience really doesn't accomplish much for future dealings with the dealership and can make it very inconvenient for you. I do think that some techs have an attitude towards riders not on 2 wheels or Harleys' in the back of their mind.:banghead: I hope everything turns out well in the long run ;). There was much discussion about the new dealership last night at the SpoKan Am (Spokane area Spyder Ryders) general membership meeting last night in Spokane. Again, hope all turns out well :pray:.
 
Bob,
While I can agree with you that this relationship appears to be off to a rocky start; categorizing the BRP techs in such a manner is a bit... inaccurate!
My guy looks out after me and my bike; he fixes stuff that I didn't even know needed fixing, and he's not charging a usurious rate for his labor...
So I'm tickled pink with mine! :thumbup:

I based this opinion on my experience of having two different dealers ruin three different Rotax engines, and a few other things, in a matter of about three months. Your experience may vary. My experience cost me a jet ski, a Spyder and $7,000. And yes I used the donut approach as I always do. It doesn't always work. When I catch a break with these guys I will let you know.
 
:hun: .................................aw never mind, I guess we all are allowed to say and write whatever we want? Taking your advice from your post though you may have trouble as well looking for a tech that wants to help :roflblack: :roflblack: Maybe don't use this as your opening line?


I hear you!:thumbup:

Do you think we should all adopt that attitude? And, here I thought I had a great tech; now I find he's not even barely adequate. What do I do, what do I do do do? I think I'll let him know the next time I see him.

Same here the techs I work with try very hard to fix things right.

Bob,

I updated my original post on Wednesday. Everything is now fine. I do have a great tech and dealer. I guess you missed my sarcasm.
:shocked: I missed one??
