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.

We have 31,650 miles on our 2014 RT Limited with zero issues.... Awesome machine.
Our 2012 RT Limited was a good machine, but did use and leak oil. It had about 8,500 miles on it when we traded it in on our 2014.

I'm on my 3rd Spyder (2010, 2012 and now 2014 RT Limited) and have NEVER, and I repeat NEVER, had any problems with any of them!!!!!!!!! And yes, it get frustrating to read about the problems that some of the owners have.. I feel the only people commenting are those with some sort of problem and those like me that are trouble free do not leave any comments. I would hope there are thousands of trouble free spyder owners out there.

2014 rt-s only problems I have had was, I got the DESS screen last Monday, four/five cycles of the key and it went away. And rear tire shot at 6500 miles. Only got 7000 miles on it because-- and I will admit it--- I got scared to go any distance because of reading all the problems on this site. But I've got over that and am really enjoying this machine. I absolutely love it.

Well, people with problems are far more vocal than those without. I am a loud one because there is $10K of repairs to my F3. It has 9,600 miles on it. If I did not have a warranty, I would have to sell it for spare parts.
I also have a Kawi Ninja and it solders on like a tank and cost a fraction of a F3.

I have owned 2 RTs and I have been trouble free from day one. I have nothing to complain about except dealer service but that's another story

My 2015 RTs has been trouble free for 12,000 miles. Completed a 3100 mile trek across the plains to Durango Colorado without even thinking that I'd have a problem.
:yes:

I bought a 2010 Limited Edition RT ( #279 of 500) with only 3,500 miles on it in September of 2014. I've put 12,000 miles on her and just replaced the rear tire. I have to take her back for a belt adjustment since I'm getting a tympanic vibration now. Only issue since I bought it.

Trouble free Spyders
I have a 2013 RT-S. Had it 3 years. Mine had 400+ miles when bought. At 7000 now. It did get hot and I could smell gasoline fumes now and then. Road for that first year. the next summer BRP fix/recall and no trouble or heat or smells. There is an annoying chirp/squeak in the right front that I think is brake pad/rotor related. been there from day one. Brake upgrade this winter I think. I love mine.

My thoughts for what it's worth. BRP developed the SPYDER in 2008, has come out with several variations of this bike through the years. I have had 3 in that time. I have had to take two of them to the dealer once each. IMO that isn't bad at all. I have bought two new cages in that time and they have been back to the dealer more than the Spyders. I could say a SPYDER should come with this and that from the factory but farkling the bike is fun and gives me some personal satisfaction. They are fun to ride and they bring attention which I like. In owning the SPYDER during this time I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people and enjoy this forum and all the characters on it. I mean that in a good way. Buy in confidence. Find a good dealer by touching base with people in your area. Enjoy all the new experiences you will have!!!

Someone else asked the same question a week or so ago? I have had a 2010, 2012 and now have a 2014 RT Limited and DID NOT have any problems with any one of them!
I'm quite sure there are thousands of very satisfied Spyder owners out there. Ride on!
