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.
Passenger seat not fitting properly (MY2018)
- Thread starter MakoShark2
- Start date
The seat will usually sit flat with a pillion aboard. The spring loaded switch activates the braking etc to compensate for the extra weight. You'll be the only one who notices it sitting proud. Its not that obvious to most people. Either give yourself an ulcer thinking about it or just move on and worry about real issues.

I have the same issue, just bought last week. My dealership said that this is the way it is. Bad answer..My grandkid was going to ride with me, this worries me for safety reasons. I expect more from BRP, have been with them from 2008 Spyder, thought all the bugs were out, just see one big one with the seat.

Hi.
Passenger seat seems to be misplaced since day one (MY2018)
First I thought it may needed some kind of settling, but I frequently ride 2 up and after 6000km (3800mi) it's exactly the same.
Seat is securely locked and can't be removed without unlocking.
Noticed that a small spring (not the spring from the locking mechanism) just right next to the passenger switch has been added for MY2018 (maybe because of the recall about the passenger switch).
Don't think it's because of that, I've removed the spring to check and the fitting is about the same...
Anyone with a MY2018 or + noticed this?
Thank you.

Called BRP for mine as well. I had my dealership look at it as well, they say "that is the way it is". Calling BRP was a waste, they say it has to be at the dealership to look at. Seems to be a big circle. I smell lawsuit if my grandkid falls off. I am an original PE member of Spyder since 2008, love the product, thought all the problems were worked out, this is why I just bought the F3 Sport last week. Is this the only year the back seat has been an issue?

Yes, BRP technical support sent me to the dealer. Which should be the normal procedure, nothing strange there.
Had already discussed this with the dealer which looked at it and said everything was in place and secured.
I did "fixed" it myself after talking with another Spyder owner (see my post above), not sure if this will work with yours though.
Much better now, still not perfect but I do understand that there should be always some kind of play for the passenger switch to be depressed when the pillion is not loaded.
