• 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.

    My experience with CalSci Windshield

    I know there were many reports on the CalSci effectiveness, but I though potential buyers would benefit from the reading below, as it brings up points that I have not seen raised before. Bike riders can be a tough audience when it comes down to fit & finish. For the ones that will not...

    Heated Hand Grips

    I have used mine a few times already. My right grip seems to heat quite a bit more than the left one, at both settings. Anybody else feels this ? I have the same feeling with 2 different glove types. ...Ben...

    Bluetooth Dongle for 2013

    http://www.spyder.brp.com/files/neutral/models/2013/BuildYourOwn/Accessories/219400458_FT_TH.jpg From the picture, it seems to be the SENA SM10, which sells for $120 on the web. BRP will see it for $250. I guess that for $250 you also get a very good cable. ...Ben...

    2013 Can-Am Roadster Accessories

    I would not set my hopes too high. BRP is reusing the old Zumo 660, which has been replaced by the 350 for the general public. The advantage of the 660 for an OEM is that it provides the Bluetooth interface for you so you don't have to worry about it. I would not expect to have built-in...

    Failed enabling both Analog & Digital Gauges

    I do not beleive so: there are no intelligent modules I could see between the battery and the gauge power input. My best bet at this point is a communication handshake between the cluster and the fuel gauge over canbus. ...Ben...

    Failed enabling both Analog & Digital Gauges

    Looking at the wiring diagram, both the cluster and the gauge receive the same fuel level signal from the fuel pump module. The temp gauge seems to receive its temp signal from the cluster itself. Providing a separate ground as I did should not affect operation. Actually it did not change...

    upcoming Big Announcement.....hmmm, what's it going to be?

    Guys: I might be wrong, but don't hold your breath for anything earthshattering. For a leaning trike, it does not quite make sense at this point: BRP has been struggling with every state and province legislation to make the Spyder accessible without a driver license. They will not jeopardize...

    gas pricing

    This morning, gas was around $1.53/Liter in Montreal, an historic high. Converting to Gallons, that's $5.79/Gal !!!! ($Cdn and $US are practically at par) :mad: The last highest peak could be explained with record crude oil prices. This time around, it is pure profit. ...and Montreal area...

    Converting stock Spyder audio output to Bluetooth

    If you want the full two-way interface, I do not believe there are practical alternatives to BRP's full blown system with CB module, cable harness and Zumo 660/665 (Acting as the Bluetooth interface). If you only want the spyder's audio output to your helmet, there are a few solutions. One of...

    RT turn signal

    In my case, the switch mechanically gets stuck to the left. Same as bluestratos . I will get it fixed/replaced at the next scheduled service. For now it does not happen often enough to waste half a day to go to the dealer and wait for them to fix it. ...Ben...
