• 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.

With swear words while changing the oil on the spyder. The VTC floorboards where in the way but not as much as the welded oil drain boltsnojoke I am still willing to be in the army that invades Canada, just so I can kick the engineer in the shin that decided to go with that design:shocked:
 
I have never had difficulty with a drain plug on three Spyders over many oil changes. A standard 3/8" drive ratchet with a hex socket loosens them every time with no more than a grunt. I always use a torque wrench to tighten them, and replace the copper washers when damaged...or periodically anyway. I see nothing wrong with the design if the proper tools are used and the plugs are loosened and tightened properly. The footboards weren't BRP's fault, BTW. They could hardly design with the aftermarket in mind.

:banghead:I was just venting... But today I am blaming BRP for all of my problems today, to include taxes and dandelions.:doorag:

To JCSMOKE, he's the same one who put the rear valve stem on the wrong side of the wheel...:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:....Mike...PS I fixed mine

So are the dandelions dying off in your yard yet?? BRP's got a BUDS update to take care of them too! :thumbup: :roflblack:

But then your fuel gauge will only read in minutes and seconds... :shocked:

Add to that, a short "cheater pipe", aka, and old spark plug socket. The plugs will release without needing the grunt.
