• 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.

    Summer Deflector Removal

    I would prefer to have a Goldwing style windscreen vent that I could open and adjust however I would like for air flow.

    They backed into my RT

    Still, yet, it would have been nice to feed the inconsiderate clown a knuckle sandwich for lunch for pulling that crap.:gaah::gaah::gaah: I had my brand spankin' new Suzuki hit in a parking space in broad daylight in Branson by some sorry piece of human flesh. Thank goodness I had it on the...

    Cleaning while traveling

    When we are traveling I try to clean the Spyder in the morning before we head out. I carry disposable towels that you can get from most any auto supplier. I have them for the Corbin leather, windscreen, and body panels. Doesn't take very long and the bugs are easier to clean off while they...

    gas mileage

    I'm hearing rumors of going to 15% vice current 10% Ethanol. Lots of two-cycle engines will be destroyed.

    gas mileage

    I absolutely believe running real gasoline without that poisonous ethanol in it makes a difference in MPG. I know it makes a difference in my four wheeled vehicles. I am guilty of twisting my right wrist a wee bit from time to time, too. :ohyea::D

    Maybe a new spyder

    I have never felt the Spyder to be under powered with both myself and my wife with trailer in tow. It does very nicely on the interstate with two up and plenty of power to spare if you know how to use your transmission. Would I like more power? You betcha, but then I would not mind having...

    gas mileage

    I have a bit over 3,800 miles on the 2011 RTS Limited. Our recent trip to San Antonio pulling trailer got us between 21 and 22mpg going down fighting a strong wind while pulling the RT-622 trailer averaging 75MPH. The return trip we got 24MPG running same speed. I bought 91 & 93 octane gas at...

    Who is BRP?

    I love my Spyder, don't get me wrong. We have put 3,800 miles on ours in the past two months and not a single issue with the Spyder. My problems have all been with customer service and a bait and switch thing at my dealer along with a huge amount of arrogance once they got the checks cashed...

    Warning about the new Fox shocks

    I don't know about other folks here, but installing Elka shocks has vastly improved my satisfaction level with the Spyder. The originally shocks were just too soft, even cranked up. I am sure my dealer's service tech with have something to say when he services it next time. If he wants to...

    Who is BRP?

    My one and only experience with dealing with BRP was a very negative one and was basically told to pay out of my own pocket to correct a mistake BRP made in design and production of the RT-622. This was even after telling them that legally in my state they could be forced to correct it if they...

    pretty sad customer service

    You would think a full service BRP Spyder dealer would have a certain minimum of spare parts they should maintain in inventory. Especially parts that seem to be normal to wear out.:dontknow:

    12,000 mile service

    I was told to expect to pay at least $1,200 for the 12k service and that does not include replacing the back tire that they recommend doing at that time, either.:cus:

    Your opinion please

    We have had our 2011 RT-SE5 Limited since the end of April and have about 3,700 miles on it. We've done one 1,800 mile round trip and are on a 300 mile trip now. So far no problems with the Spyder. The modifications are Elka shocks (single best modification you can do for handling ) and Corbin...

    2011 RT-622 Trailer

    At least you guys got a 2011 trailer. They painted one white for me, added the water thing in the trailer and assure me after waiting 24 days after paying it was in-fact a 2011. I find out at the DMV I got a 2010. Plus, other problems with the trailer and nobody at the dealership with enough...

    I have run out of patience with BRP.

    I contained BRP about a problem affecting every trailer sold in Arkansas and every state with MC sized license plates and was told it was not BRP's problem. Very arrogant and technically illegal on their part.
