• 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.

    Struggling to find anyone in Indiana to Service a 2009 Spyder V-Twin - any thoughts?

    To elaborate on Ron's post above, I wish that BRP would develop a program to acknowledge and officially approve of independent mechanics. At least for the older machine's that their official dealers won't touch. Not everyone can afford (or even want) a newer $30,000 machine. Why abandon them to...

    Should I be concerned that my Spyder has no need for pressing the Mode Button before starting?

    Not to mention that ALL 2024 and newer Spyders will start right away. With the new switch packs you can turn the key on, roll the throttle and hit the starter, you don't have to wait for the safety message.

    Should I be concerned that my Spyder has no need for pressing the Mode Button before starting?

    No problem there. Most people would consider that a benefit! Was the one that starts without the mode button modified with either a Stage1 or Stage 2 ECU upgrade? That is an option when selecting the upgrade.

    Struggling to find anyone in Indiana to Service a 2009 Spyder V-Twin - any thoughts?

    This is a common problem everywhere. Also, dealers are only required to stock parts for 10 model years. Posting here is a good first step in trying to find an independent Spyder mechanic. If you were closer to SC I'd be happy to work on your bike!

    FYI - HCM Oil Filter Change

    There is much discussion here about whether or not you need BUDS after changing your HCM filter. The service manual says you MUST use BUDS to accomplish the HCM Venting procedure. Many people here have changed their filter without BUDS. You decide.

    Another tire thread…but different¿ New Kenda XPS Roadster Tires - more durable...

    I traded in my 2020 RTL on a 2025 RT S2S. I kept my front wheels with Vredestein's and put them on the 25 immediately. I had no choice but to leave my Vredestein on the rear, and made the decision to ride out the (still crappy) stock Kenda XPS rear tire before I get another Vredestein. I do...

    How much work is involved in replacing the brake switch?

    It's not hard to change, just hard to access. If it wasn't for the fact that the wire is tie-wrapped in an inaccessible location, you could change it from underneath the bike. Most of the right side body has to be removed.

    Had my Speedometer head replaced - is there any way of correcting the odometer?

    BUDS can increase only, not decrease.

    New RT Ltd driver

    Sorry about your health issues, but you will like the newer bike a lot more. And you will certainly see a fuel mileage increase!

    Missing the colored rear panel on 2025 S2S - did the dealer give you one?

    Very similar story. I had to make them find my rear panel, (still in the box), when I bought a 2025 S2S.

    Right lights not working after repair - any ideas?

    Does the green wire have a color stripe or is it solid green? On the 3 wire connector that is capped, if it has a black wire, a gray with a beige stripe, and a gray with a green stripe, it's for the optional fog light.
