• 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.

    Throttle Lock

    Who has fond a throttle lock that works well on a 2008 GS? I have one on my 2 wheeler but I don't think that same configuration will work.

    After +- 200 km and 3 weeks around the city to get used to the new-to-me 2008 GS, and my first ever Spyder, I did a 300 km road trip today. All good except I got my left knee fried from the close proximity to the exhaust. Right side is fine. This is obviously not a new problem to this forum, and...

    Talked to the dealer today. BRP does not allow them to mount a car tire on a Spyder. Some liability thing he mentioned. He agrees that a car tire is a good choice but he cannot do it. There may be dealers who will do that, but the one and only we have here won't. So far I have not found any...

Rode my CTX700 the other day; felt quite weird now. -having the service manual is really handy. Got the parking brake working. -oil change and check over by the dealer...

    The Hella power plug looks right. Will snoop around for one. Hadn't experienced one before. BTW, there is 12V there with the key on or off. Thanks for your help. Also BTW, my goal here was to have a bit of a project and to 'experience' the Spyder before my body gives out on me. If I can get...

    Thanks for the response. Question remain - where do I find the male unit for this 12V receptacle? Not up on Spyder nomenclature but I think you are asking is it manual or semi-auto (I haven't found the ID plate yet) - it is a 5 speed manual. I'll work on some way to get an antifreeze reading.

    New to this forum today after buying a 2008 GS Premiere with 14,500 km yesterday privately. I'm 84 and dropped (the first time ever and a lot of bikes) my CTX700T on my left ankle 6 weeks ago. Maybe time for 3 wheels I thought. Going through the bike today I have some questions. Bear with me on...
