• 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 got our baby back!

We finally got our Spyder back after being in the shop for just a little over a month. We now have a new stator, flywheel, magneto, voltage regulator and map sensor. Some miscommunication, dealing with BRP wanting to make sure that a new part was bad and a lot of diagnostic detective work and we now have a functioning Spyder to ride again!!!

We got the call confirming that we could get Silver this afternoon! We went with great excitement at being reunited again and we talked to them about what had been done and then they gave us the bill. It included towing our Spyder to the shop after we broke down as well as the deductible for the BEST warranty.

I did a quick glance, then a second look. The total bill for all of this? $000.00!!! No charge at all for anything! I never mentioned anything about possibly waving the tow fee or the deductible for the warranty. They did it all without a word of complaint from me or my wife.

Could things have gone more smoothly or maybe a little quicker? Probably. But it is what it is. I will say that over all my wife and I are happy. They did drop everything and attempted to get us back on the road as soon as possible the day our breakdown happened and I don't think you could expect any more. They have treated us well before, especially when we were there asking all sorts of questions about the world of Spyders.

So here's a shout out to World of Powersports in Peoria, IL. We will trust them to work on our Spyder again.
 
Awesome. ..!!

Glad your re-united and will be back on the road again. Gotta love bills like that...:clap::clap: still one has to ask...all those changes did they tell you what it was in the end...??? just wondering but the main thing is your up and running....:yes:
 
After a new stator and a new voltage regulator, it still wasn't charging properly. They wanted to put another new stator on and BRP balked. BRP wanted to put a new flywheel on thinking the magnets were weak. This after BRP making sure that any other possibilities were ruled out. Powersports argued to put another new stator on at the same time so that the problem would be solved! BRP agreed and now all is well! It was weak magnets.
