• 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 Radio Install Instruction Manual

    A few members have commented that they wanted to see the official BRP radio installation manual. I took a couple pics of my instruction manual. If these pics are a copyright violation I will gladly take them down. I am trying to help members, not hurt BRP. The entire Manual is 15 pages long...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    I think you could buy this switch then take it apart. Take your non-cruise switch apart and swap the new-working cruise switch for the dummy switch and the cruise would work. Just the little black part shown in the photos, held down by three torx screws. If you could find a used right hand...

    BonesDT PM me your address and shirt size. As a "Thank You" I might be able to find a polo shirt with a embroidered Spyder logo in your size. Also what color shirt and logo would you like?

    Free Cruise on a Base ST

    I have been trying to add cruise to my '13 ST since I bought it. Two dealers told me it was impossible. Then Bones DT figured out how to add Cruise to a base RS. I decided to try it on my ST. It works perfect. Everything you need for Cruise is already on your bike. It just takes some...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    I installed the factory radio on my ST. The "instructions" were next to useless. About two words in 14 pages. The rest were line drawings with too many details removed to understand the drawing. Some of the pics were mildly helpful. In short, the brain installs behind the plastic, on the...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    I decided to try a stronger spring. Since I had made the hole a slightly larger diameter I figured a ball point spring may work. Cut it about 3/8" and installed. Cruise now comes on. Sometimes I have to wiggle the switch a little so I know I am on the low side for spring pressure. The...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    Can't test drive until the pain meds wear off. Had one of my bum knees scoped last week. Still on pain killers. I turned the key on and slid the switch to "on" LCD panel still said "off" When I rocked the switch up or down the LCD panel said cruise "on". But when I let go of the switch it...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    This may explain the pop rivet center. The mechanical pencil and it's brother died for a good cause. The spring was almost perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    Those were the center pin from a pop rivet. I punched it out of the rivet and then cut it down. Fit was great but it took too much force to move the slider. I made the holes a little bigger (diameter) and used a couple bb's in place of the pop rivet pin. I think the pressure is perfect...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    This is the "finished" product. I removed the double sided tape that "sealed" the old blank plate that was screwed to the switch and found the labels for the cruise already stenciled on the bike. I reused the screw that held the plate so I could push up to accel and down to decel. The switch...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    Here you can see the dumb part of the switch that need to be modified. The white pad just above the black piece is the waterproof portion of the switch. The contacts are all under the silicon. They have no idea what is pushing them. The larger diameter "button" to the left center is the...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    This was my first attempt at the switch. If you look inside the holes you will see a little nipple in the center of the hole. It looks like it is there to center a spring. The two little black ears to the right of springs in the pic are used to push the contacts for accel or decel. The switch...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    Just took mine apart. The tiny little black piece on the dummy button is just a piece of tape. It comes off very easy. I was afraid to take it off when trying add the throttle lock because I didn't want to mess up something that may make the switch waterproof. Trust me, that little piece of...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    Thank you! I have a base '13 ST. The dealers tell me that Cruise cannot be added unless I add over a thousand dollars in sensors etc. But they would be happy to trade me for one new bike that does have cruise. My LCD display tells me that Cruise if "off". It looked easy enough to me, like...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    I think you found the answer I have been looking for. Is this a 2013, Fly by Wire throttle? From the pics it looks like it is. Biggest question. It works in theory but have you been able to use the cruise on the road?

    How long should it take BRP to respond to a case?

    Swap the front tires, right to left. Do NOT ride in the rain. Take it for a test drive . If it now pulls to the left, you have a bad tire.

    Strong Gas smell in garage after riding - ST limited

    I had the same problem. I detailed my attempts to fix it in a thread "my attempt to fix the horrid fuel smell". Now I can ride it at 95 degrees and not have the smell. Airflow is key. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
