• 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 spoke with Pam, the Service Manager at Maximum Powersports in Peru, today. We had talked earlier about them getting the Rollo System so after she spoke to Rollo as well as getting good feedback through the BRP dealer network, she has ordered the system. It should be here in the next week or 2. She can be reached at 765 472-2423. They are going to start out by doing alignments on all their new units so I would wait a couple of weeks before contracting her.
I don't have any affiliation but I have gotten good service at this dealership. Pam has been with the dealership about 30 years and has been easy for me to work with.
 
I agree about Maximum Power Sports

Just met Pam last week...got a quote for a new battery that WAY undercut another local dealer, battery price and labor. I'm scheduled in for this Friday. I'll try to corner her for an alignment conversation while I'm up there.

Maximum Powersports

I just bought a used RSS there and was very pleased with the dealership. There is a dealer 25 min away from where i live (Zulu), went there to buy a Spyder and an hour later left vowing never to return. Drove 1 hour and 15 min to Peru and bought one with no test drive! Derek the GM and everyone at Maximum were top notch!
 
Great news!!

Nice to hear that Maximum is getting the Laser system. Just visited that dealership a couple of weeks ago and they seemed like really nice people and are close by for a change. After they get some practice I will make an appointment and get my :ani29: in to have that done. I will also have them check out the drive belt on the rear wheel as it is not riding on the sprocket where the owners manual said it should be.

at Maximum today, He said they got the ROLO system in this week and have done one alignment so far. Once they're up and running with it they'll be charging $120.00. I didn't ask but I assume that includes the BUDS update.
 
Got mine done.

Maximum did my alignment while they were fixing other problems, so they are definitely up and running. They also aligned my drive belt. Can't tell you if I notice any difference because I won't be picking it up until Tuesday. After that, I'll post whether there is anything noticeable.
(Still in sticker shock after having the DPS unit go bad...you don't want to know.) :cus:
 
The final bill?

Thought I'd close up this saga of the DPS failure.....:gaah:

Got the GS back last week...bill just under $1,600. Given that the DPS was, in fact, bad, the dealership did what they could with that...not unreasonable labor charges.

==> BTW, that price includes replacing the DPS, laser alignment, and drive belt alignment.<==

I know this may sound a bit 'strange,' but I'm still impressed with the dealership's (MaximumPower-Sports of Peru, Indiana) professionalism (especially the service manager)...she seemed as perplexed and frustrated (almost) as I was, shelling out that amount of $ for a DPS system that had just under 1,600 miles on it (even though it's on an '09 GS.)

I'm going to speak with the BRP reps at Spyderfest to see if they can recommend an "appeal" process for this case...Yes, I know it's a 5-year-old Spyder, but when the DPS failed, it had only 1,600 miles on it...just doesn't seem 'right' (whatever 'right' means).

Okay...this smile...:D...means that I'm past this now...no more complaints...just 'movin' on...stuff happens.. :dontknow:...and this spyder is just too much fun to ride! :ohyea: See you all at Spyderfest!
 
Glad to read the positive feedback on Maximum Powersports. I am scheduled to have surgery on my dominate hand and forearm(left) on May 16th. I now know what my mom meant by 'it's hell to get old". So much will depend on how the surgery and rehab goes as to whether or not I will be able to continue riding. I've been considering going to a semi-automatic RT version for the past couple of years; but was in a quandry about who to do business with, and I really wasn't looking forward to going 2 hours way up north or to IL to make my purchase. The "bad press" on the '13s didn't instill confedence in the product, or BRP for that matter. Now that The ACE motor has replaced the V-Twin, I have renewed interest in making the switch from my GL1800 Hannigan Trike. Only time will tell, if my days with a manual transmission are numbered.

I went and my alignment today. I couldn't tell if it made much difference yet it was so windy heading home. The vibration seemed a lot better. They were great to work with and gave me a lot of useful information.

:agree:

Age has absolutely ZERO to do with "normal wear and tear" and to have that unit be faulty after 1,600 miles IS NOT NORMAL WEAR. I believe there was an issue with DPS units requiring replacement....worth asking!
