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.

Purge Valve
I just bought my 08 SM5 with 715 miles on the clock 3weeks ago and had experienced the surging/running like crap problem. I heard about this problem via this forum and approached my selling dealer. Come to find out that the DPS download was done on mine just b4 the sale, and dealer told me that BRP was working on the cure and to be patient; they would call me when things got worked out.
I tried Lamonster's solution last night and took it for a test ride. It seems to have taken care of the problem, but I'm going to run it a few more miles b4 I pass final judgment because the problem seemed to be intermittant to start with. I'll keep you posted and if it is the cure, I'll do stage 2 and ditch the canister.
Lamonster, can you be a little more specific on where you routed the hose with the filter?
Thanks,
Vic

Went to a local shop here in NC and told them about the purge valve problem and asked them if they knew of any problems like this. They told me they have had no problems with any software installs they have done and didnt know that the update did anything more than the steering issue. Looks like not every dealership has been informed by BRP of issues with the Spyders. Now i will wait till I get back to Fl to see my dealer.
On a side note, 225 miles today with the hose pinched off with no problems at all.

Won't hurt the motor.
But the evap canister will fill up and eventually you'll start to smell gas.
