• 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.

    Buds V1 (2008 GS) flashing modules with updated software - how?

    Only 3 modules IIRC on the 2008. Options for update all all greyed out on all of them despite there some showing 2009 firmware versions, and I'm pretty sure I see newer versions of some modules firmware showing in the update list. I have the megatech licence so it's not that. I did some work...

    Buds V1 (2008 GS) flashing modules with updated software - how?

    Buds2 isn't backwards compatible with <2016 (IIRC that's the breakpoint) models. Tried earlier today and it sort of connects but nothing works properly. BudsV1 connects and operates normally, but the update option being ghosted has me confused.

    Buds V1 (2008 GS) flashing modules with updated software - how?

    Hey all. Recently bought a gently used 2008 GS for my wife. Since I do pretty much all my maintenance and such I bought my own BRP diagnostic box and am all setup with BUDS and BUDS2. The first thing that irked me was that the cluster was in French (unit was bought in Quebec) and...

    Windshield removal - what tools do I need?

    Going to pickup our new-to-us 2008 GS on Sunday. Bringing it home 600km in a borrowed clamshell style snowmobile trailer and I'm pretty sure we will need to remove the windshield to get the roof to close. The Spyder has an aftermarket much taller windshield than stock. What tools will we need...

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    Thanks all - ended up buying a 2008 when it was all said and done. Paid $7K Canadian as it sits with the Givi bags and some farkles. It should fit our needs quite well and I was happy with the price.

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    Thanks for the insight. She has never once ridden 2 up (not comfortable doing it on 2 wheels), but she may dabble with it on the Spyder, but the most likely passengers are small people. Regarding the DPS, I'm going to go on the assumption that it's been completed all these years later, but I...

    Thoughts on 2008's? I believe it's a GS. Found one that's checking a lot of the boxes.

    Admins - can we get the multi-quote feature turned on?

    Aha, ok, I see it now. It's a different implementation here than what I'm used to then on the other VB forum I'm regularly on where the multi-quote implementation is different so that's thrown me for a loop I guess! Admins, disregard, I'm a dumbass lol.

    Admins - can we get the multi-quote feature turned on?

    Hey Admin team! I'm quite familiar with VBulletin and I know it has a multi-quote feature where you can read through a thread and select multiple members posts in a thread to do a multi-quote reply. The feature is disabled here, so the only way to quote multiple people in a single...

    Is there a seating position chart?

    Thanks! I found this website a week or so back and have been using it quite a lot for reference already, although there's two challenges I've been finding is that a lot of people are horrible with including the specifics on the model they are selling (An RT is obvious, the others seem to start...

    Is there a seating position chart?

    Hey all - as per another thread here, I'm on the hunt for a 2010-2014'ish (based on the budget) Spyder. Ideally looking for an RT, but considering others. Seating angle will be a big thing as she has shoulder problems. Unfortunately in the 2008-2015 year range it seems like there's a...

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    Thanks, will let you know if I end up with that particular RT. The asking price doesn't reflect the fact it needs this fixed, and you never know how realistic people are about that sort of thing when it comes to negotiation. I'm absolutely no against or afraid of getting into a small...

    Assuming stripped gears / borked motor, is it a PITA to replace? Looks like they’re only slightly insanely expensive.

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    Found a 10 RT that is low mileage and hits some of the marks, but the seller indicates the windshield up/down is not working. Some searching here shows that it's either a motor problem (common or not common?) or possibly a broken support arm *from* the motor?

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    Thanks all. Didn't make it up to see the RS today, the schedule just didn't work out between myself and the seller. For those with mileage on both the RT and the RS, with the risers and a bigger windshield, what do you still miss about the RT?

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    My wife isn't into endurance riding like I am where I might roll the garage door up and ride 1500+km in a day, so the less touring centric thing of an RS vs RT won't be a show stopper. Maybe a few overnight trips a year with a few long riding days (but not slab riding except perhaps a...

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    Thanks all. Went to see it today. Hard pass. It's been stored outside (despite being inside now) and it was one problem after another. Needs a new cluster as the display just kept resetting cyclically. Heated grips didn't work. Foglights didn't work. Signals didn't work...

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    The market is different north of the border on all things toys, but this one is priced at $10K CDN, about $7500USD. That's at least $3-5K less than even the cheapest competing options out there with similar mileage and $5000+ less than a lot of others, albeit automatics. It has ~50,000km...
