• 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.

    BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available

    Cardo Support was quick to address my concerns and confirmed that I had connected with the correct Bluetooth channel (channel 2). Since the Spirit HD has only 2 channels, channel 1 is used by the intercom with my passenger. Their best bit of advice was to simply do a factory reset which I did. I...

    BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available

    After living with Ver 4.1 now for a few days, I can say that it at least hasn't done any noticeable harm. ACP works just fine. The only change that I have noticed is the time display in the navigation screen. It used to be black numbers on a white background. Now it is white numbers on an orange...

    BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available

    I'm holding my breath on this update. The clock had to be reset, and the screen froze on me twice already this morning. When working properly I've not noticed any real improvement. 3.1 was working so well for me that I hope I don't regret upgrading to 4.1. I am going to trust for now that the...

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    I found an independent Amsoil dealer nearby and bought 6 quarts of their 10w-40 motorcycle oil. Oil change scheduled for next Wednesday. Fingers crossed that that annoying screech is gone.

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    I wonder if this torque shaft runs in engine oil. After reading Baja Ron's post about using Amsoil, maybe a little heavier oil would be the answer? I think BRP oil is 05W40. The Amsoil he used is 10W40. Not much difference there, but that might be all it takes. I've got an oil change coming up...

    BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available

    BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available for WI-FI download. Improvements to stability and Apple Car Play. After I downloaded and installed it I tried it out. It seems like ACP loaded almost instantly. Very happy about that if it remains so. I was happy with Ver 3.1 and ACP. If Ver 4.1 makes it...

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    I've read (I think) all the posts about chirping and squealing noises, but I haven't found anything that addresses my problem. When accelerating away from a stop, a squealing noise comes from somewhere up front. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it sounds just like a loose fan belt. Depending...

    Where to find the RT-L Air filter - it's not where my Owner's Manual suggests!

    While on a ride yesterday, a rock truck pulled out in front of me from a limestone quarry. He was blowing fine limestone powder out from his truck and I was stuck behind him for far too long. My Spyder was a dusty mess when I got home, so I figured that I'd better check my air filter to see if...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    Not sure how much help I can be here. I think almost any camera that you find on Amazon or Walmart will work. What attracted me to this one was the screen resolution and the ability to delete the camera grid lines. Hopefully you can expand the image below to see the camera details. At the junk...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    I've been following these camera threads from the beginning and became more interested when it sounded like any universal backup camera might actually work. A $30 camera from Amazon and a so-so matching 3 pin plug from the local U-Pull-it yard and I am up and running. I routed the pigtaiI and...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    I like what you have done. I have been curious about such a setup all along. I have a couple of questions. I understand from looking at the Amazon camera wiring description the red wire goes to the PK/BG-20 Can-Am connector and the black wire goes to the BK/BG-20 connector. From your description...

    How close are we to getting a 2024 shop manual?

    I also downloaded the V2 of the 2024 service manual from brpmanuals.com. While it looks informative, I suspect that there are some parts that are not up to 2024 specs. Some of the wiring diagrams look like they are pre-2024. I see illustrations of an external AM/FM antenna, and the glove box...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    I'll be darned! I never thought to try scrolling down on that menu list. Sure enough, there it was. The option to enable the camera. Without a camera picture, the blue screen is a little overwhelming, so I disabled it. Now, to see if I can find that camera wire connector.

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    I find it interesting that you and apparently others are getting a blank backup screen when in reverse. I too have installed the update but do not get the backup screen. Maybe it is a Sea to Sky thing. I have a 2024 RT-L. Or, maybe it is because my January 2024 production date is before they...

    Why do I now have a BRP Connect icon on my Apple HomePlay screen?

    After this showed up, I downloaded the BRP Connect app from the App Store thinking that there might be a connection. It took me down a bit of a rabbit hole and for a while I thought that there might actually be something useful like what I had on my '17 RT, but I ended up at a dead end. It...
