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.
The recall has hit the building !

Just talked with my dealer in Coeur D' Alene, Idaho, and we have the recall and parts are being ordered. I checked mine the other day and looks like no problem around M/C. Bike goes in the 12th. Thanks for the heads up on this, gave my dealer a one up on parts. He said thanks to SL for the info.

Be Sure to Call Ahead
Just off the phone with my dealer. He advised that they were ordering kits by VIN for customers that contact them, plus kits for all of their bikes in stock. I am third in line. Assume kits may also be slightly different for each model. So, suggest you contact your dealer and get on the list for a replacement kit and installation appointment. This way you are not in line for "an extra kit" that might or might not be available when you go in for service, and you are not assuming that your dealer will contact you in a timely manner. Dealer indicated that a number of shields/parts were included as part of the service, more than just a shield for the master cylinder. Waiting on a call back for when parts will be available from BRP.

Glad to hear that this is finally progressing. Hope everyone can be patient until the recall "parts" arrive at the dealer, and then the dealers making the time to do the repairs in a timely manner.
Fingers crossed and hopes high for all involved.

Parts taller heat shield and new bracket as per service dept at dealer
From my understanding when i as service dept , they mention tall heat shield and bracket. The heat shield that is on the exhaust now , they saying its too short.

I already had a 17 Sep appointment for another issue. I called the dealer this afternoon and they said they would do the recall work at that time . . . they said nothing about not riding . . . which is good, since they are an hour away . . . too far to push it!

Same Thing
Just spoke with my dealer. 45 kits are on order. He said that there has been no "stop ryding" order from BRP, and that if there was a real problem with ryding, they would have issued such an order, and we would have been notified by certified mail. So take that for what it's worth. I will attempt to pull the Tupperware tonight to make sure that we don't already have a problem. Which reminds me, Lamont posted a video on how to pull the plastic on a RT can one of you fine folks point me the direction of that post.

It would appear from everything we have read on SpyderLovers the only thing this recall addresses is the potential melting master cylinder cap. I've not read about any other problems this recall encompasses.

This is not a hijacked thread
Bob, I agree 100%. My wife knows how bad I want a Spyder. We talk about it a lot. The problems with the 2013's have not helped my case, so to speak.
I could buy one tomorrow, but my better half just thinks it's too much money. I've thought about buying a basic used RS, but that's not really what I want. I like the feel of the ST. I'm too old and arthritic to ride an RS. I know many people have modified their RS's into decent touring machines. An RT is great, but to be honest the ST ergos are more comfortable to me. I'd be perfectly happy with a black ST-SE5. I search Cycletrader just about every day. There some good deals to be had. Oh well, I enjoy being an annoying wannabe. I hope I can contribute something useful to this forum. I respect the general civility of this forum and I respect Lamont. :thumbup:

Think about it? A 2012 RT is only 70 Pounds heavier than a 2013 ST, has more storage, very dependable. There are some great deals on Leftover 2012 RT,s that don,t have heat issues. My 2012 RT is cooler in 95 degree heat with 70 degree dew point than my 09 GS???nojoke
