• 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.

    Colorado or Black Hills?

    Thrill of a lifetime I too haven't ridden the Black Hills. But I can tell you that one of the biggest thrills of my riding life was one year I rode the Trail Ridge Road in the Rocky Mountain National Park. It will take you up over the Continental Divide, above timberline into Alpine meadows at...

    500bhp BMW V12-powered quad

    I think I like the Chrysler Tomahawk better. I wonder if they had to make an aftermarket catch can for it?? Tripod :joke:

    Almost too nice

    I've had the same set up on my SE5 for about 6 weeks. Probably the best aftermarket product I've ever purchased. Someone asked me if I was concerned about speed bumps, I said "no, these things will shear them right off". Tripod :joke:

    Anyone want to wake up BRP?

    It's Been Shown To Work Wacky, There is precedent in your idea about publicizing what's going on with the Spyder fires. The Pinto mess languished for about four years until a major story and expose was published by Mother Jones magazine which created a national awareness and outrage. It was...

    Almost Happy SE-5 Spyder Owner

    Friday I got all of the recalls, fixes, upgrades, etc., finished. :2thumbs: Took her out on a 250 mile romp, ran great...almost. The brake noise in stop and go traffic is down right embarrassing. Are there options for brake pads? I had the rear brake done (recall) that was useless. Also, she...

    is the 1" riser worth buying

    1" riser...a lot of effort for so little gain. If you indeed want a more cruiserlike posture, get the 3" of 4" kit. They also tame some of the handlebar vibration. Tripod :joke:

    Another Spyder *Fire*

    The Spyder fires haven't taken on the magnitude on the Pinto fires of the 1970's. However, one is too many. Go to autosafety.org/ford-pinto-fuel-fed-fires, read the article and follow the timeline from the initial petition to the NHTSA until Ford recalled the vehicles in question. One of the...

    Official BRP Coil Pack fix

    I'm capable of doing the fix. It's a matter of timing. The Spyder is going in this week for a new GPS so I don't want to do it if it can be done while it's in the shop. I'm just trying to determine from members if their dealers have the "official" parts in-house. If mine doesn't, I'll do myself...

    Official BRP Coil Pack fix

    Has anyone gotten their Spyder coil pack fixed with the BRP parts? Has anyone been given, or heard, of an expected date the dealers will have these parts? I was stricken by the malady yesterday, twice. It wouldn't go into gear, then when it did it wouldn't upshift. Yes, it's an SE-5. This was...

    No Mustang!!!

    Here's my experience. Mustang has no interest in making a Spyder seat. Ultimate Seat Co. will release a seat next year. I got a BRP Comfort seat and it's light years ahead of the original POS seat. But it was damaged so I sent it back. I ordered a Corbin seat and got in less than 10 days. It's...

    Coil Pack Fix Questions

    It looks like the BRP parts are never going to come in. So, I'm going to attempt this myself. Somewhere on the site (can't find it again) I believe it says to disconnect the negative side battery lead first. Is this really necessary if you're just running two additional ground wires? Also, is...

    Heat Reduction Methods

    I'm in SoCal, and keep most of my riding in either coastal or mountainous terrain. Any desert riding is done during the winter. So, my question is: To keep escaping engine heat from being excessive, should I wrap my exhaust pipes with a product like DEI makes...or, would a stick-on material...

    A little heads up on the software upgrade

    I took mine in today for the DPS fix. I asked them to do the GPS upgrade also. The Service Advisor said he'd write the Work Order but the Service Manager would have to OK it. I haven't heard back yet ?? The Coil Pack fix parts are backordered here too. But, that's an easy do-it-yourself project...
