• 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 this Rubber band feeling from stop normal? Don't notice it again once started...

Wondering if this is just a quirk with these machines or if there is something not quite right with my 2024 RT Limited. When the machine is first being ridden for the day and I am pulling out of my driveway, I get this "rubber band" feeling where the machine does not take off smoothly, the engine yo-yo's up and down in revs slightly before things catch and I accelerate normally. I don't notice this issue once I have gotten past the initial acceleration from a stop. If it matters, I run Amsoil 10W40 and the Spyder has around 12K miles.

Thanks!
 
Mine does the same thing and the colder the morning is the worse it bucks. I have a stop sign at approximately .2 miles. Smooth as silk every time when accelerating from it. I think the computer is searching for the proper fuel to air mixture initially.
 
Thanks for the responses - I am somewhat relieved that this seems to be the nature of the beast and not a repair bill on the horizon. On the other hand, you'd think that BRP would have this sorted out by now?!
