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.

Also the manual says use 50% antifreeze with 50% distilled water and for years I have just used the Prestone Antifreeze/Coolant in my cars, but don't know if it should be mixed with distilled water for the spyder. Suggestions welcome.

Always distilled water with coolant. The BRP stuff is mixed with distilled, it's indicated on the label. There is a thread here somewhere with the links to msds for BRP products. The BRP offering is Shellzone, made obviously by Shell. It's a low silicate formula, which surprises me, because most bike engines use a silicate free formula. I would shy away from any universal or DexCool product for the Spyder.
