• 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.

    Dealers in the Northwest Burbs

    Got our 2013 ST from Nielson's power sports in Grayslake / Round Lake Beach. Really good deal (you might want to go over and check current inventory, they have a few!). Really good service as well. They have one mechanic for the Spyders and he knows all the tricks. Cheers!

    Sad day today

    Still riding in Northern Illinois. Should get out today for a nice fall ride. It will be about 50 - hopefully! I have ridden to work in 35 degree mornings. Not too bad. No heat issues!!!

    Why does the Cooling fan run after stopping the Spyder?

    Mine does the same thing. Now that it is cooler, same story. The fan running after stopping has been predictable after a while. Since it happens to us... is it "normal"??

    Location of 2014 BRP Owners Event???

    Thanks for your post - I just figured out ther are TWO big events, Spyderfest (with vendors), and the BRP Owners event, where BRP has you all to its self! Either way, we live in Northern Illinois, so already thinking about packing, what to take, what to leave behind... Will probably only be able...

    Thinking of buying a Spyder? What I have learned.

    Thanks for the clarification - I am still learning. If that is so, and it looks like there is a actual heat issue, it would be nice of BRP to come up with a real fix package that included all the bits and pieces I have been reading about. Ride On!

    Thinking of buying a Spyder? What I have learned.

    Greetings! Thanks for the clarification. Full Synthetic, and only for motorcycles. The Valvoline 4T Four Stroke for motorcycles fills the bill.

    Windshield Cleaner... PlexiBrite vs Plexus ?

    Good Discussion. Been using the Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish, at my dealers recommendation. I am sure Honda does not make this stuff - re-labeled Plexus?? We have 3 bikes total, and use it on every one. Works great on Windshield and helmet visors, inside and out. Don't forgit the inside of...

    New Longer Semi-Auto Trans Filter

    Just to close the loop - got the Spyder back from the dealer today, first service, was 301.00. Very reasonable I thought. Full synthetic oil and a good check up. The miles will tell the tale! Planning our first three day trip this weekend. Very excited.

    New Longer Semi-Auto Trans Filter

    Yep - hope so. I just turned 1,000, so the dealer is going to handle this one with the 1,000 dealer service. He is charging 325.00, not so bad I suppose.
