• 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.

    RS parking brake adjustment

    Never had an issue with the parking brake holding position/setting. I use it a good bit, a few hills here in St. John's, and only ever have to adjust when pads wear down or when a new cable is installed and stretches slightly. Check assemblies at each cable end to ensure security.

    anyone tow a seadoo with their spyder?

    Towing a Sea-Doo is one thing, but 'retrieving' and pulling a Sea-Doo up from a slimy launch ramp is another. Not a good idea.

    HEY THERE SPYDERLOVERS! WOW, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE (again). :) The last 8 months I've been pulled in several directions; all good, but all requiring large portions of my time.

    Yes, I did. Note that I think BRP have focused first on contacting customers in warmer climates at this time of year.

    Thermal underwear

    I have always found the liners in the Firstgear and Tourmaster jackets and pants really warm and comfortable for my all-weather ryding. Another suggest I recommend, I use for adventures on water, is NRC full under suit gear. Hope that helps.
