• 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.

postponing my vote

Had the update done, no problems in the 50 mile ride home, actually less backfire than I had before.:dontknow:

But - we're leaving tomorrow for the Black Hills, so I'll wait to vote after that. I should have a real good idea of how it's running by the time we get back.

Hey have a great time in the Black Hills we did. Stayed there a week, camped at Pactola Lake. If you go to Hill City you might want to try Alpine Inn for dinner. Starts at 5pm menu has only one thing Filet Mignon. either a 6 ounce for $8.99 or 9 ounce for $10.99. You get a wedge of lettuce with their house dressing, no other choice of dressing, a bake potato and a texas toast We had to get there ealy to sign up to get in to eat. It is usually packed everynight. 1/2 hr to 1 hr wait. Was really good.
 
:lecturef_smilie: What a Joke,:cus: It ran better before I took it in for the update,I wish I would have left it alone!!! :spyder: I have seen and sat on RT-S and it is very nice ! But I think I,ll wait till they work the bugs out of that too ! Then trade up. :2excited: :chat: :ohyea::popcorn:
 
Still experiencing problems

Brought the Spyder in for locking steering last friday. Still at shop awaiting BRP techs to tell dealer what to try. Kinda sucks, new 2009 Spyder- 4000 miles on it and has been in the shop 3 times for their upgrades/patches. I thought all of the bugs would be worked out by now. Just goes to show you, newest technology must have been spent on the first few models...
 
First full day riding in the Black Hills, it ran great, fantastic even, the first two thirds of the day. After filling up in the afternoon (Grumpy overfilled it, in my opinion) it started to sputter a little, and I had two momentary episodes where it felt like someone jerked on the handlebars. Very strange, and kind of spooked me a little, slowed down the pace for the last 20 miles through the twisties.

But I still love my :spyder: and we're heading out again tomorrow for Deadwood, Lead, Sturgis and Rapid City. Ain't no stinkin' quirks goin' to keep me off the road! :doorag:

P.S., we went to Alpine Inn, but we were too early, so the woman just glared at us. We left.
 
Yup they do have shootouts on the streets.


Sorry about your experience at Alpine but they don't open for dinner till after 5pm.
 
I am not happy! Now when the bike warms up to 4 bars or higher, like in stop and go traffic it starts to miss and sputter... Not good if you all of a sudden need to turn it on and it wants to stall....

Mine normally runs at 4 bars. 5 if I'm stuck in traffic but once I get moving again it goes down to 4. On cooler days I can sometimes get 3 bars. Is it humid there? I find mine ran like crap on humid days until HDX did the purge valve. I think I got bad gas this weekend though cuz it ran like sh*t again. Ran fine weekend before that.
 
I called BRP again to day. Said there should be (HOPEFULLY) something out early next week for a cure. BRP ---- 1-866-767-0707 :pray: :pray: :pray:
 
so so

Steering is easier.
More backfiring from the Hindle.
A little higher idling speed at times. Doesn't want to come down to normal idle range as quickly. That's what I've noticed so far.
 
Called BRP again said it would be out early this week. Ah did I here that before?????? Backfires-surges & engine temperature rises a LOT faster than before update. mmmmmm :spyder: :gaah::helpsmilie: :mad: :mad:
