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.

Interesting read. The high % of issues on CanAm has to do with having not as many sold in the total market. That brings up the % fail rate quickly.

Hi akspyderman,
Re: The high % of issues on CanAm has to do with having not as many sold in the total market. That brings up the % fail rate quickly.
Well, that is what their ratings are all about, failure rates => percentage of failures. It is not about quantity sold.

I'd like to know the types of failures the study was based on.
For instance, 42% of Spyders are deemed unreliable, I guess based on service calls to the dealers.
Is this because the engines hace failed and left the riders stranded ?
Or the PTT button on the CB Radio failed ?

I've said this a million times. CR is a hack rag with skewed statistics to sell magazines. They look for the best way to emphasize the most controversial story they can.
The equivalent of spam!

Bingo, To them, an engine failure, or a burned out bulb are no different.
Yep, let's kill the messenger
My most trusted and all time reliable ride was a Yamaha, a couple of them. My bike that's spent more time in the shop than any other, Can Am Spyder. I think commenters on this web site help prove the survey's conclusions. Like most companies I think BRP is cutting too many corners buying the cheapest products possible and taking the lowest bid to increase their bottom line.

That's why I rode Yamahas for so many years...virtually bullet proof.

They're all pretty darn good, and if I ever thought that a vehicle was going to fail: I just wouldn't buy it in the first place...
