• 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.

Many New High end Motorcycles now provide similar Nanny functionality as the Spyder.

I know that Bosch was brought in to get the stability, that is a fact.
What I was going "wow" over was the suggestion that somebody other than BRP did the front suspension. With all of their suspension engineers working on a-arm suspensions on the ski-doos, atvs and side x sides one would think it would be a piece of cake to do a similar front end for a spyder.
 
I find that hard to believe as my 09 rs has never had the nanny correct my driving and Ive had it on some spirited rides on many twisted roads such as The Devils Triangle for example. No stability issues and no nanny. 10,000 miles since Feb and no nanny. Dragon, Rattler, Snake, etc no nanny and some of these in absolutely pouring rain. Its stable IMO.

Its was pretty common knowledge around the time of the launch of the Spyder that its was going to fail unless the Bosch system had been installed. I understand from press at the time that problems were numerous and the bike was dangerous with the system as it was that they had to swap it instead of try and fix it.
