• 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.

    2010 Base model RT

    JerryKaren, Thank you for being the light in the forest. First hand knowledge is always welcome especially when it comes from a frequent flyer. I know that when you buy a newer model all the older foibles come to the surface and all that experience unravels with the new machine and all its...

    2010 Base model RT

    SpyderAnn01, I have only seen one Yellow Spyder in BC and he/she was going the other way :( I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago nary a one to be seen. So in the last 5000km of riding I have only seen one on the road, so where are they? Maybe due to our road speeds riding one will be in just the...

    2010 Base model RT

    Chupaca, sage advice indeed, however even in the frozen North we have fewer models to compare closer to home! My nearest dealer is about 80 miles away so just a half days ride (return) on my worn out Wing. Curiously while comparing the majority of the flavours on the web here from coast to coast...

    Don E from ET, Thank you for the read, I have been there but it is worthwhile doing a refresher :) I'll have to look more deeply into the bowels of BRP's website to glean more info on the various models, the more recent are most prominent obviously Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2010 Base model RT

    Bob D, It's very difficult to get information after a trade in mainly because the op has left the building! Certainly the service records would give a certain view of which mods had been performed and if the service intervals had been observed. Recalls and the like would also be preserved of...

    Well gentlemen, thank you for all your candid remarks! They are asking $12,500 Canadian loonies! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2010 Base model RT

    Can anyone tell me anything about the base model 2010 RT? I have seen one on line with about 30,000 miles on it, very clean and well maintained. Is being flogged by a dealer! It has the standard transmission, new tires. Unfortunately it is on the east coast and I am on the we't one so a long...

    What Spyder will fit me?

    Thanks for all the replies, at present my ride is a 1500 Gold Wing. I have been riding over forty years and so the wheels have changed quite a bit. Last year I had a blow out which took some of my confidence with it. An exciting moment not to be repeated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What do you wear on your Spyder? In HOT weather?

    We have used these, when you get them first you might think you have been robbed as they are light, but once you have soaked them in chilled water and spread the "beads" around they gain weight. They feel a bit weird at first but do keep your neck cool and protected from the sun! You can let...

    What Spyder will fit me?

    I am 6'4" tall, what Spyder would fit me best? While talking to a dealer today he suggested that the seating of the RSS would be too cramped for me and that the ST would probably be the way to go for legroom, sitting position and comfort etc! So what do you guys think?

    What is the secret?

    In a nutshell, youth! When I wore a younger man's clothes, I could ride from dawn to dusk and only get off to refuel:coffee: These days I have to get off every ninety minutes of riding to ease the old monkey butt, so I salute all of you who can put in 600 mile days but I missed a lot on those...

    Air in the System?

    Check the engine oil, see if it has water in it! If you have a leaking head or base gasket it will find it's way into the oil. Of course your oil level will be higher. If the rad was easier to see into, you could wait until the engine is cold. Then start up, with the rad cap off. Once the...

    Battery questions

    An electronic battery charger senses the state of charge and adjusts the current needed to charge the battery without damaging the plates. As the voltage increases the charger senses this and will back off as it nears full charge. Often you can set the charge at a lower rate to prevent it from...
