• 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.

    Putting 15” wheels on a 2008 Roadster

    Because the wheel offset is different. The fenders will need to be shifted outboard a little bit to keep it centered on the tire.

    RTS trailer plug adaptor

    That clears things up. Nothing like a wiring diagram to make things easier. So amber turn signal lights makes it a 5 wire system and the extra 6th wire is for the interior light.

    RTS trailer plug adaptor

    That's a 8 pin square trailer plug with 2 pins cut off. You can buy a an 8 pin female plug to match. If that's what you want. What you need to do is look at your trailer and tell us if it has amber turn signal lights. If it does. It is a 5 wire system. If not then it is 4 wire system. I assume...

    BRP Connect can't really work as we thought

    I have to disagree Mike. The new instrument panel is far better then the old one. Just the display function does not work. I would not want to back to the old system.

    BRP Connect can't really work as we thought

    I gave up on the BRP Connect on screen stuff a while ago. I have the phone mounted on the handlebars and have it BT paired to the dash. That works great. The audio works well. The telephony functions all work well. I can use any app I want. Not just ones compatible with BRP. Use the phone screen...

    Rear wheel weights and bearings questions

    You are correct and the local tire shop will not likely be able to balance the rear wheel. But you never know. The bearings and seals will likely be fine. Except the big o-ring. It always seems to be damaged. I always have a full set of bearings and seals on hand just in case. The o-ring is not...

    Spyder F3 ltd. 2020 - frame cap broken

    That part looks like it is die cast. It would appear to be a defect in the casting. Bubble or contamination likely. It is listed as $20 part. So the dealer should be able to fix it in 10 minutes when they get the part. It would be unsafe to drive like that because the brakes will not work...

    BRP BUDS Black Friday Sale

    It took a while for me too. Don't remember exactly how long. Customs takes a long time form anywhere in the world except the US. Stuff from China can be in customs for 45 to 50 days. They were diligent enough to charge me GST as a reward for the wait.

    Kumho mounted, not balanced yet

    I would guess by the thread pattern it is the replacement for the Yokohama S Drive. ADVAN FLEVA V701 I had a S Drive. It was a very good tire. Stuck to the road very well. Even in the rain. I assume the replacement is similar. It will not last that much longer then a Kenda. But who cares as...

    BRP BUDS Black Friday Sale

    I would guess that is the, one year, All Dealer license price. I can't see the US pricing. Only the Canadian prices. Canadian regular price is $1224.25. Sale price $929.80. For most folks since they will only be working on Rykers or Spyders. Choose the one year Spyder Ryker license for a total...

    Kumho mounted, not balanced yet

    If it was my Spyder I would take off the Kuhmo and put on a better tire. I hate to say it but a crappy Kenda is better then the Kuhmo. As for balancing. Just put in some beads.

    Can you bypass BRP and connect directly to the radio?

    I assume not. Maybe with the harness change. But then the dash may not be compatible since the radio handles this input differently. So not sure. Pre 2016 radios did not play digital files. The ipod could be digitally controlled. But the audio was analog from the ipod. On the 2016 and 2017...

    Can you bypass BRP and connect directly to the radio?

    From what I have read, yes. Or a flash drive, or another type of smartphone, or a MP3 player.

    Anti freeze puddle under Spyder

    I have to disagree with you. The factory Oetiker clamp is superior to gear clamps. Just not home mechanic friendly. Do not replace them unless you need to. Just by your example. You had trouble with the replacement gear clamp and not the OE ones.

    Can you bypass BRP and connect directly to the radio?

    Not sure why you feel that way. Just explain at what step you are stuck at or explain in more detail what you want to do. There are more then one way to do things. You should be able to buy the correct adapter to go from your phone to the usb connector on the Spyder. That would be the simplest way.

    Can you bypass BRP and connect directly to the radio?

    I guess he can't trust you. :roflblack: The OP has a 2016 RT. It does not have a 7 pin round DIM connector. His Spyder has a USB connector and a aux audio 3.5mm input. Both hardwired in.

    2012 RT Limited Radio Question

    In the 4 years that I used the SM10 on my 2013 STL. The Spyder volume control made no difference to the volume on the BT headset. I did play with the headset settings in the Spyder with no affect on the volume on the BT headset. What I actually did and the settings I adjusted, I don't remember...
