• 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.

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    Did I say I had a problem? No, I said I've had the same issues everyone else has had. I currently choose not to ride it until BRP comes up with a fix for the obviously dangerous DPS. I'm not willing to be their crash test dummy. I'm a happy Spyder Owner...happy with BRP ?...not so much. I'll...

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    Mine's an '08 SE5. I got in June of this year and have put about 1,600 miles on it. It would be more if it wasn't for the fixes and updates, I've had them all. Right now it's voluntarily grounded. This DPS issue is getting out of hand and since I have a perfectly good Valkyrie Interstate to...

    Spyder Crossing Hoover Dam Video

    Mad, Thanks for the post. It felt like I was there. The video features a Spyder and a Valkyrie Interstate...the same two vehicles that grace my garage. Nice job, Tripod :joke:

    Spyders and Valkyries

    I had a Valkyrie Standard trike by Lehman, sold it to buy a new Valkyrie Interstate trike by MotorTrike. Bought the Spyder and am having fun with it. However, they'll have to pry the Valkyrie out of my cold dead hands. The Spyder is a blast, but for long haul, big load cruising...nothing beats...

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    My dealer says there is no 2nd DPS update. Would you know if it has a certain number, some sort of identifier so I can insist on getting the fix done to my '08 SE5? Tripod

    KewlMetal Mirror Extensions - Issues

    The extensions can also be incompatable with some aftermarket windshields. If you have one or are contemplating getting one, keep that in mind. Tripod :joke:

    Spyder for a newbie rider?

    Welcome midlifer, I'm one myself...OK, a few semesters past. Anyway, where are you? I'm in North San Diego County. Maybe we could meet up and I'll show what I've done to my Spyder to make it perfect for our generation. Tripod :joke:

    Last Hindle Questions (I hope)

    I'd like some learned opinions about these questions. Is it necessary to remove the negative cable from the battery while swapping out the stock muffler with a Hindle. And, if so, why? If the ignition is off the whole time, whats the necessity? Thanks for always coming through, Tripod :joke:

    BRP Updates, Hindles and Performance

    Was the Hindle on yours when you got the update? I've got the update but have yet put my Hindle on. I don't have the JB so I can't do any fine tuning if I do the Hindle. I can go back to stock of course, I just didn't want to go thru the exercise if it's been proven to not be a good idea...

    BRP Updates, Hindles and Performance

    GregH and FastFrazer Thanks for the feedback, each of your realworld experiences will help me going forward. Thats the type of sharing that is helpful and useful. Unlike one that was condesending and patronizing. Again, thanks for some real help, Tripod :joke:

    BRP Updates, Hindles and Performance

    I'm hearing varying stories of poor performance after updates on Spyders with Hindles and/or adding Hindles after updates. Here's my dilemma...and you guys always give me great input...my Spyder has had all the updates, fixes, etc., and, it's running great. I do have a nice used Hindle that I...

    Used Hindle Install Question

    OK, I got the idle after install bit. The remaining question is about a new collar, gasket. Is it needed, recommended, etc.? Thanks for all you do, Tripod :joke:

    Used Hindle Install Question

    I picked up a pretty good looking used Hindle. Nothing attachment wise came with it, so am I going to need a new collar, seal or something to make the swap from stock muffler? It doesn't have the slots but I know I have to cut them, and I plan on using copper Permatex. Anything else? Also, what...

    Recall decision

    I had my SE5 done right after the recall letter came out. I also had the coil pack ground strap fix done and I "insisted" that the GPS be replaced while they had it. I also told them that I'm watching the Spyder boards and that some dealerships are not doing the DPS properly. Anyway, I runs much...

    Purge Valve - Permanent Fix

    BJT, Thank you...it makes sense to me now. One last question. Could one do the alterations and leave the canister in place so it could be returned to the stock configuration before returning to the stealership for recalls, updates, etc. ?? Tripod :joke:

    Purge Valve - Permanent Fix

    See, here lies the problem. If there is a line of some sort going into the purge valve, that's one thing. Then there is a line that some suggest you put a bolt into to block it. Some talk of running lines to the rear and bottom. When you say the "canisterectomy plugs the line"...that doesn't...

    Purge Valve - Permanent Fix

    I need some help here. I've read that you shouldn't disconnect the purge valve (electrics), that will make it throw off error message. You say it should be "eliminated". Some eliminate the canister and some run hoses down and back. Is there anyone who can give an easy instructional? I have an...

    Motolights for Spyder??

    I've had them on my Valkyrie trikes for years. They are super effecient at filling in the area where the headlight/lights overshoot. Since I'm probably going to sell my Valkyrie MotorTrike next year, I'm going ahead and getting the bits I need to swap them over to the Spyder. After all these...
