• 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.

    Vid: spyder shacks during passing curve vid roads in MotoGP Prizewinner Cruise Laps

    Exactly. These guys raced and won world championships on the must notorious, evil handling race bike of all time, the Honda NSR500. You had 200hp + on tap with a very narrow and sudden power band. The passengers won a competion and I guess would expect to be given a adrenalin rush for their...

    Road Rage by a cager

    Totally agree, funny how they're not so tough when you corner them out of their car.

    Rear Fender Support Brackets

    Speaking to some fellow Spyder riders today, seems this is a big issue. One rider has had the fender brackets replaced 5 times in 66.000Ks. The other 6 times in less Ks. Mine broke today with 15.000ks. I know some of the roads are not great but this is ridiculous. If the parts keep failing why...

    2 Spyders down for about a month.

    I had noticed that even when my Spyder was brand new the front sprocket and the retaining nut looked like they had been in the weather for ages. Do BRP keep their stocks of new parts outside or something? I had made mention in a previous post that I had white corrosion on my engine a few months...

    Got the lastest and greatest update today..

    I really don't give a flying fig about the gas milage. Just want my Spyder to run as well as it did before. Quickly and smoothly. If I wanted economy I would have bought a scooter. All the talk about mpg is what prompted BRP to look at it in the update in the first place. The Spyder is heavy...

    Software Update Poll- Please vote

    I have a Motad Venom muffler (db killer fitted) and the high flow air filter (no O2 modifier or juice box). After the update, engine runs smoother, no popping when throttling down as before. Power delivery is more linear which I am getting used to now. Haven't checked my plugs, but exhaust is a...

    Hard to see $245.00 worth of product here

    Ok just received email from Ken. The bump is to stop side to side movement instead of the welded on stoppers. Still allows the possibility of movement though over the welded on stoppers. But as I say I am not an engineer.

    Hard to see $245.00 worth of product here

    The original bar is the black bar pictured with the bolt on stoppers attached. The Evoluzione sway bar (red) has welded on stoppers which help to locate or centre the bar between the bushes or mounting point and stops the bar from moving from side to side within the bushes. The new Evoluzione...

    Hard to see $245.00 worth of product here

    Hey Lamonster There is no bar stoppers with this new design. I notice on the original bar there is bolt on stoppers and with the original bar from Ken there is welded on bar stoppers. I have just installed the bar as close to the middle as possible. Is this a concern or am I being a worry wart...

    Has anyone e-mailed Carlo..

    A good spray with WD 40 and let penetrate for a while and they change relatively easily with or without jacking. Definitely use a jack for the rear though.
