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.

After all those repairs--more problems in different areas are sure to follow
Kinda reminds me of changing out the auto air conditioning evaporator, the whole dash needs to be removed, after it's replaced a whole new group of weird problems develop. Some take time but they will occur, you've had too many wrenches on too many assemblies--take the new replacement bike offer.--Good Luck.

"17 F3 noise
Well the dealer has finally given up on my Spyder.
I am supposed to get a new - in crate bike identical to the one I bought.
The last few days have been very stressful trying to deal with BRP thru the dealer. Dealer claims that BRP will not take the bike
back so they have to replace and take the loss???
Anyone know for sure how that works?
Wish me luck!

For all of the BRP shills out there, IMO not only are there design flaws in the bike, it would appear that QC is totally liking, these are virtually new bikes and they have ANY problems is total BS.
I haven't had any issues with my 2014RTS and I love it, but I will never buy another product from BRP. Maybe other manufactures have similar issues, but when you spend this kind of money, I am not willing to put up with these types of issues. Thanks to Google, you can research everything and save yourself a lot of grief. There are a lot of toys/options out there, rather than putting up with not knowing if you will get home or not, when you leave. I know that like mine, most people have never had an issue, BUT look at this thread, numerous people have this/a noise problem, and it would appear that the dealer starts at one end and replaces until it stops. The fact that BRP doesn't have a clue either, is pathetic, there aren't that many moving parts. This isn't the first year of production.

It is an SE6. They can't find the source of the whine.
My last BRP product also!
Thanks for the reply,

UGH
This is exactly the BS I have been dealing with!!! I actually have a 2015 f3s sm6 that has been in the shop all this riding season, and most of several others. Mine does not have the noise but another phantom problem. This is the 6th time in the shop. They have replaced everything from top to bottom front to back... BRP SUCKS!!! for customer service. My dealer is finally offering me a 2017 f3s sm6 of a different color for $1500 out of my pocket... now I am reading this and I don't know what to do!!???
Well I finally got my new F3 - only took 3 weeks!
After a lot of run a round from BRP my dealer finally got me a new - in the crate - model the same as mine.
The dealer even swapped all my accessories ( shocks - backrest - wiring for lights -painted grill screen and a few other things.
Still not happy with BRP but the dealer has been super!
Now to test it I am leaving ( with 2 other riders ) 9/10/17 for a 4000 mile trip. Mechanic said that I could do the 4000 before my first oil change.
Thanks for all the support and interest,

I'm guessing he feels BRP fooled around changing out parts and pieces too much before throwing in the towel and replacing the bike. Definitely seems like a lemon.
What is amazing to me is that BRP doesn't seem to want these trikes back for research purposes. I worked for years in a manufacturing environment and when we had "excursions" like this in a product we would ask for the failing part back and then put it in the hands of our best techs to see if they could find the problem.

With out being a smarta** I guess maybe you would have just given the bike back and said Thank You!
I can't afford that and they sure as He** aren't going to give my money back.
New bike with new warranty seemed to me to be my best option. I will not buy another Spyder unless BRP gets their act together!

Well, I was able to take our F3 to a dealership, I explained the noise that both, my wife, and myself heard. I asked them to check the rear wheel bearings, as well as the front sprocket. They took the F3 for a 10 mile ride, they said they didn't hear any strange noises. They said they checked the rear wheel bearings and found nothing, no play, or anything. They did align the belt and checked the tension, said it was loose, so they tightened it, and they said they checked the front sprocket, found no problems, or rust color, and they said they checked the torque on the front sprocked bolt. So after getting back home, I went for a short ride, approx. 5 miles, I did not hear the same noise as my wife and myself heard before, so we will see, anyway, I thought I would report what was done.......Clint
