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.

There is an area of the breather system that collects oil. This area is not sealed so once oil collects and fills this space it then blows into the air box. With this area exposed during a full service the non sealed space can be sealed. It will still vent oil gases into the air box and some oil as it should but not the heavy amounts we are seeing sprayed all over the inside of the engine compartment. If your dealer doesn't know about this have them give us a call if they like (360) 825-4502.

really? Ok well thats an important thing to get done as we have seen several of the old trans filters imploded apon removal. All the filters have auto updated to new part numbers along with oil change kits so even if they don't know about it they should be getting the new ones.
trans oil filter with cover part # 219800258
engine oil filter part # 420956747

I am scheduled to bring in my RT next Monday (8/20/12). I am having the valves checked. I will let you know the results at 28,000 miles.

Well I have 5 used Tranny Filters in a box and NONE of them showed ANY excessive wear! nojoke
Informing is Nice but it can sometimes become slanted Just as All the other Problems with the Spyder. :hun:
I just cleaned out the airbox after 12K miles of carefully keeping the oil at the 1/2 level. Still found 1/8" of oil in the lower front section of the airbox. Any chance you can pinpoint exactly what it is you're sealing up in the breather system? Or what parts diagram or shop manual diagram we should look at to see what's needed? Did BRP put out a bulletin on this that my dealer would have? I know you've already gone above and beyond by letting us know about this whole improvement and it's really appreciated. Thanks.

Well its a little complicated to explain how to seal. Requires removal of cam caps rear cylinder to access center portion of head where oil collects and is not sealed. Its this port that needs sealed because of how the breather system works. It flows up to and passes through this area collecting and then blowing around inside and out into the air box.. The 2012's are allready sealed here. If your dealer is in the dark have them call BRP tech line. This is why we do this during a valve adjust so we don't have to charge our customer.

21,000 miles and still within spec!
Just had my valves adjusted at about 21,000 during another major warranty repair in order to save a little Money. According to the dealer are were still within spec but they adjusted them back to the high end anyway while they were in there.
