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.

I've only heard of a couple of 2014's that show RED Dust .... so far mine isn't one of them .... I think it was JC Thorne who posted that 2014's made after April have shown some Red Dust .... Then in 15 the F-3 showed it first ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

Sometimes I really wonder about BRP. I know there are supply problems BUT they have known about this for a long time. Our local dealer charged a member of BattleBorn Spyders a lot of money to change out a front sprocket on her F3( and it was a long tow from Lake Tahoe to Reno)
It took a few Spyders catching fire to get BRP to fix the overheating problems with the 2013 RT's and they NEVER did much about the DESS problems in the 2014's:gaah:
See you and Lou on Friday :clap:

Well, after reading all of the posts on this subject, i decided that I’d better not leave my head buried in the sand, and should investigate my 2014 RTS just a bit further, so I dropped by my dealer (the original selling dealer, I might add) and had him look up my unit to see if there were ANY recalls outstanding for my unit. There was NOTHING. I then went a step further and had a look on my swing arm for the plate with the assembly date on it. The plate shows a date of 12/2013 (December 2013). I’m doubly good!

I bought a White Sprocket/Pulley early last year. I have the pulley in storage for use in an emergency.
The pulley is available (at cost) for any member of BattleBorn Spyders.
If not needed by Mid July I will carry it with me to the D3WR.
Cheers, David C.
Will be there Friday with bells on. I do look good in bells...

I have a 2015 rt se6. My sprocket went bad on way to work. They replaced parts and labor about $800. I called dealer and they told me “Maybe” after they investigate. Called Canada. They opened a case and are investigating. In other words DONT HOLD YOUR BREATH!
Did folks see this???? Seems like this is the Red Dust of Death - finally being recalled!. Do others read this the same way?

My dealer told me that they have not been told what even the temp. fix is yet. He said to wait til you are notified that the fix if ready and then contact them.

check your vin# above
A friend of mine was on the recall vin check, So he called BRP to find out why he didn't get an email about the recall, The BRP
rep told him that he was not on the recall list. He sent her a copy that he was on the list. OOOPS She said.

wife got recall letter today 2018 f3t
I got the recall letter today for my 2015 F3-S.
Said they will be ready to do the temp fix procedure starting June 30. I have not made an appointment yet.
Also says the permanent fix will be ready at the dealer starting August 30th.
Before I bring it in I want to know what the temp fix is and what the permanent fix is.
Hopefully the dealer service department will have a clue (Cross Country Power Sports Metuchen NJ where we bought it in 2015)

Recall E-mail
I just received my recall E-mail yesterday (6/22/2022).
Parts might be available in September was what I was told.
Hopefully no problems moving forward.
It is what it is. The waiting begins. ....:gaah:

Safety Recall 2015 to 2019
If this has been posted already, my apologies. I received a letter from BRP today, 6-23-22 advising of a recall on Spyder RT and F3's from 2015 to 2019. The issue is abnormal wear of the front sprocket with potential loss of propulsion. They're offering both a temporary fix in the short term and then a permanent fix once the parts are available. It seems the nasty Supply Chain issues continues in delay of the parts.
Personally, I've had no issues but will be in contact with my dealer just to stay current.
