• 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.

    Alarms

    Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. As long as your battery is in good shape, any decent alarm shouldn't be an issue. 8 hours isn't a big deal. But if you leave it armed for several weeks at a time, then that might drain the battery down pass the point of startup. But if the battery is weak...

    600 mile first service cost

    If you don't plan on doing some of these maintenance work yourself, the only thing you can expect is to pay thru your nose to the dealers. This machine is designed to cater to the Boomers who has lots of $$$ that they need to spend before they get too old and gray.

    Poor dealership wrecks the experience

    I don't trust any dealers until they have proven themself. An extensive interview before hand should give you an idea of their Spyder knowledge. I tell them exactly what to work on and they are not allowed to touch anything byond that. Spyder's electricial system is very finiky. Tap your...

    139HP Rotax motor

    That will be the day when BRP offers up free HP. They are gonna milk all they can on the RT market before starting all the hoopla on a more powerful engine and get all you guys to spend another $30K to trade in your old one. Same gimmick they do on their jet skiies.nojoke Just watch. I learned...

    radiator heat shield and air redirector

    It shouldn't be so hot that makes the Spyder go into limp mode unless there is a reason (i.e. increased heat due to leaky exaust gasket, or long period if idling in stuck traffic with breeze against the heat exaust port). Check your fan to make sure it goes on when it reaches 4 bars. If not...

    Fuel Requirements

    I switched over from 87 to 91 last year. Couldn't feel any difference. Going back to 87 and staying there. O2 mod did kill my gas milage. Might switch back this season.

    radiator heat shield and air redirector

    Don't like the design of the fan shroud as it redirects the heat into the engine bay. Unless you have the engine floor plate removed, heat will have to escape thru the seams. Plus it's metal so it might rattle if its loose or touching something. Definitely not my cup of tea for sure.

    Any ideas on gas tank fill mod's for enabled rider?

    Dunno why one should make it easy for someone else to mess with their gas tank unless there is a absolute necessity for easier access.:dontknow:

    Y! pipe gasket replaced - what a difference

    Dealers can only use OEM parts for replacements under warrenty. Otherwise they cannot get reimbursed from BRP. You gotta spend your own dime to have the Honda ones put in.
