• 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.

Need parts.

I don't know about the spyders but going to assume it's similar....With the seadoo jetskis your personal info can be put into the system the first time the ski is hooked up to BUDS. From there the motor and ecu numbers are stored (don't know about other components). It's my understanding the dealer can mark it as stolen and items can be flagged.
However, with a motor the dealer would have to physically look at the motor number, assuming the motor was put into another machine. Ecu's would show up when plugged in.

Again, this is what I was told on the seadoo side. Also, from what I'm told, not many dealers do this. Stolen seadoo skis are SUPER common. The supercharged motor makes great power, is easy to modify for more, is reliable, and easy to adapt to different hulls......faster hulls.
 
Some years ago BRP created the DESS system in Ski-doo, Sea-doo and maybe some of their other products to have the capability of storing the name and address of the owner in the system. It appeared to be a good idea at the time. The machine was brought in for repair or service and the names did not match, the dealer would have to ask why. The problem was it was controlled by the dealers and anyone else that had a BUDS system could change the information in DESS. It appears that function has been abandoned in the DESS in Spyders.

When a motor vehicle is stolen no one tells the manufacturer. So how would BRP know. Vehicle registration agencies keep a database of stolen motor vehicles but doubt if many would have major component serial numbers as part of that database. Then there is the sharing of information between agencies, some do not share much if any with others.
 
BUYING A MOTOR

Just a thought, besides not buying something that may be stolen..................Be sure it RUNS......IMHO..Mike
