• 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.

What's the difference between these manuals and which one is the best to have around my shop to help me with my Spyder service and mods etc.? Thanks, Ricky

I think people are just using different terms for the same item.... some call it a shop manual--- others call it a service manual.
 
Shop or Service is like Pepsi or Coke (imho)?

Seems you can purchase different "Shop/Service" manuals. BRP publishes one (this is the one the dealer techs use) and then there are other "after market" manuals. The choice is yours....either should provide you the info your seeking.
 
Ordering Parts

Potato, patado its all the same. If you do not mind, here is my opion on this. I purchased the manual on Ebay from Midwest Manuals. The other seller of manuals is selling a copy of Midwest manual but Ebay won't do anything about the other seller.
Anyway the DVD is very good and he ships quickly.

Sooooo... Midwest steals BRP's intellectual property and that's OK but if someone else does it, that's wrong?

Just askin'. :ohyea:

Exactly. I'm not sure how any of these places are getting away with selling a copy (electronic or otherwise) version of the manuals.

From a legal standpoint, they would need an agreement to distribute from BRP.... which I doubt they have.
 
Midwest has a site where you can download the manual immediately. I have been using it and it has been sufficient so far.
