• 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.

Service Manual

I recently bought on Amazon the service manual CD "Manuals4Mechanics.com". Is it just we or what, I find the CD to confusing incomplete, disoriganized and very hard to use. From what I have seen most of the information is in owners manual that comes with bike. As an example I was trying to find some torque specs today, never did find on CD. Did a search of this forum and found right away. Anyone know of a better service manual for spyders? OK I will get off my soapbox now. BTY my bike is 2012 RTL.
 
teck spark

I did teck spark ,and had too use an older computer that would run the c.d. .... but it help in the taking apart the cycle and working on stuff , but I did look over a lot of other sites for the exploded views too see what I might be getting into !
 
I just went to their website. From the description it's the scanned factory manual with added crap you don't need. Green manuals and Midwest manuals will be exactly the same. Don't know about Tech Spark, but I will guess it is the same. Manuals for 2013 and later models are a digital copy of the factory manual and are searchable. So if you are not finding info in the one you got I am guessing one from a different vendor is not going to help.

Exploded parts views are free online from BRP website. Also from many online parts vendors. Also the online version is up to date.

I have found that I have to look at several years of the parts pictures because not everything is on the 2016. Best example is the mirror clips. They are not on 2016 RT blow up but they are on 14 & 15.
