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 the 1" riser worth buying

I like the 1" Risers. I am 5'4" and find that I am pretty comfortable.
Are you sure that they will have the handlebars exposed? I thought that the upgrade was software, not any physical changes.

1 - I don't think the steering recall will involve removing the bars- its purely a software update.
2- in my opinion the BRP 1" riser does little , I ended up adding the 3" No Magic Neon risers onto my bars that already had the 1" BRP riser. However we all have different riding positions.

yup
there are 2 recalls 1 is the steering knuckle and the other is just software
I thought the same thing until i saw the papers at the dealership
they have to remove the handlebars and expose the riser 100 percent
the service manager said that he would "treat me good" on the swap because of the ease of the swap

We had the 1" riser from day one. It was real good for 6'0" me, and adequate for 5'2" Nancy, although she usually scooted forward on the seat a bit. Riding position is still sportsbike-like. After ger knee surgery and the BRP comfort seat that sat her further back and up a bit, plus didn't allow moving forward in the seat as readily, we needed to add the 3" ESI risers for her. At first I thought they were a frill, but one ride changed my mind! They are the most remarkable improvement on the Spyder to date! If I were doing it again, I would skip the 1" riser and go straight for the 4" ESI (NMN).
I have to agree...well I don't have to, but I do. :agree:
Put my 3" on last weekend (had the 1"). AMAZING...almost makes me want to retake an ole Newtonian Physics course. :yikes:

I was surprised how much difference the 1" riser made. Depends on who you are and how you ride. A lot of people like the No Magic Neon risers instead of, or in addition to, the BRP 1" riser. They look really nice. I'd probably get the NMN risers if I knew I wouldn't have issues with the install since I have my speakers mounted to my handlebars.

The one inch riser is an improvement...if you like it and think more is needed, then ESI's riser is good to go. I'll likely be getting mine soon...

I am unaware of any hardware based recalls, especially related to steering... have I missed something or is this dealer confused?
BTW, my Spyder City 3" is just perfect for me, although it has no adjustability as compared to the NMN risers.

yup
i actually saw the recall notice at the dealership
1 was a software update
and a set of papers was for 2009 es and ms steering knuckle recall
i believe it said something about a set screw just above the bearing
but I am not that mechanically inclined so please forgive the insolence

I just had the BRP 1" riser installed and have only 65 km (30 miles) with on the ride from the dealer's. I like it much better than the stock position, but may still get the 3" as well. I'll give it a few days of testing before I decide.
As others have said, it's well worth having the dealer install it because of the bolts holding the cover being a bugger to remove. Mine actually had to have the head replaced after the installer stripped one of the nuts on the new riser. Still only charger me the 1 hour which I assume their book says it should take.
