• 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.

New Airflow panels for 2013 ST-S

Just sent very polite email last night to BRP talking about heat problem and gas fumes. How long did you wait before you got your first response ?


My first response was 2 days later.

It's now going into week three and not getting any more response from them. :(
 
My wife sent an email on a Tuesday evening and Steve M from BRP emailed her the next day with our case number. Panels were installed a week later. We did have to call our dealer after we got the case number.
 
Sent the email and contacted the dealership on the case#. They are testing it as we speak to ensure the heat is not caused by any other issues. From what I was hearing, it started to sound like if they don't find a problem, he wouldn't install them.

If this is the case, does anyone know if the claim only works at the purchased dealership?
 
I think I'm heading into week four of no response back from BRP. :(


Just a guess, but BRP may be trying to decide how to handle people that bought the panels on there own dime??:dontknow: After all I think you paid more for the kit you installed than the kit BRP has put together. I do not know if this is true but just thought I would throw it out there.

I understand that, eventhough at the time of purchase I got the best deal available to the public. I'd just like to have a response that they are doing something or working out something.
 
air flow panels

I just got a 2013 sts se5 how do i tell if the air flow panels were replaced ?? i did notice it is quite hot on my left leg.
 
After contacting BRP, I had the new panels installed by my dealer. I had previously installed air wings. I replaced the stock panel bolts with the ones supplied by Baker, slightly longer to reflect the additional width of the brackets. When the dealer installed the new panels they did use any bolts stating that they needed the original bolts from the 2013 panels. The "Baker" bolts and the original bolts are the same thread size, both the original and the Baker bolts are smaller in diameter then what the replacement panels require. I am thinking that the new panels use "1/4" turn bolts. Any one else run into this issue?

10 days and no response from BRP. What happens to other people seems to be all over the map as far as response times and any effort to solve the problem with new panels. I called my dealer about the heat problem and they tell me "We have NEVER heard of any heat issue". Hard to deal with them when you know they are lying to you. I will be patient.

Latest update: I after all the testing, they could not find a problem causing the overheating. Th dry even did several temp checks and found it to be running at normal temp. Now he went ahead and ordered the new panels and should be in around a week. Now I did the emai, contact listed here and called them 2 days later where they said they have assigned my case number at the purchasing dealer. Those of you having trouble, I would give them a call if you didnt get the auto reply with a case number. I'll have before and after pics posted once they are installed.
 
FIRST STEP DONE....YEA

Good News...Got my reply from BRP WITH...DRUM ROLL PLEASE....MY CASE NUMBER...thanks BRP
 
My friend called BRP last week and they told him he didn't need a case number because they had it in the system since he called. They told him to just let his dealer know and they would get the panels ordered. Does this sound correct?
 
Panels

I told my dealer I wanted the new panels on my ST-S and I didn't have a case #. They called BRP and called me back several hours later and told me my panels had been ordered. I have had them about 3 weeks now and my Spyder is as cool as a cucumber!!
