• 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.

    So who wants to take a guess for 2011?

    Hummm... If I were coming out with a new Spyder...I think I would make one with fewer computers (less to go wrong on it) and a bigger engine. I thought I read somewhere at one point they were considering a cheaper version with a smaller engine, but I don't remember where I heard or read that.

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    Carlos and the dealership are in contact with one another. I just talked to the dealership. They are replacing the power steering. They reported it would take 3-6 days to get the part. Hopefully, this fixes it!

    I hope all goes well on your trip! People drive crazy up there so be careful! If you pass through Indiana on the way (I'm guessing you will) and something goes wrong I'll help if I can!

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    There used to be another one that was roughly an hour away as well, but they no longer sell or service the Spyder. There is one an hour and a half away, but it is just another location of the same dealership. I don't know how far the next one's are and I don't feel comfortable driving it...

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    Got call from dealer Well Carlos did call the dealer and they called me asking questions. I had already told them all the answers but I repeated it again. I could tell by some of the questions they are thinking it may be road conditions, but it just isn't (wish it was) he even said something...

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    Thanks for the link. Hopefully it will be fixed and I won't need it though. Carlos called and e-mailed and he is getting in contact with the dealer so hopefully they will get everything figured out and I'll get my ride back in a few weeks. I know that might be wishful thinking, but maybe I'll...

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    Well, it happened several times, but I just now started to work on taking it in. I kept putting it off because I didn't want to be without a ride during the riding season and I pretty much had rides and bike shows planned all summer long. I'll be missing some now. No, I haven't had a new DPS...

    prospective buyer

    The RS SE5 is the first bike I've ever driven and owned. I am short and have back problems too and it seemed perfect given those limitations. I'm not the best person to ask as I am currently dealing with steering issues which some, be it a small minority from the best I can tell, have. I...

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    I'm glad yours is good since the DPS change, hopefully that will happen for me as well but I'm preparing for if it doesn't. I was still riding it though it had happened several times, but it just wasn't fun anymore. I would go around a curve and wonder, well is it going to happen again, a car...

    I know you are right Way2Fast (BRP doesn't know, they even say it on the answering machine on their phone system), but I am considering the Lemon Law in Indiana. So, everything is going to be documented and I believe they get 3 or 4 chances to make it right (need to research it more). You and...

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    Thanks Thanks, I e-mailed BRP and the bike is back in the shop. I got up super early to ride it down while no traffic was on the road. Maybe they'll get it right this time. I told them for now on I won't sign paperwork unless it has everything that was done to it in writing and who did it...

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    I'm not sure what all the dealer has checked. I've asked them to check stuff and when I pick up the bike and I ask if it was checked they can't even tell me if it was checked or not. They don't communicate anything to me usually, so I end up walking away angry and not knowing. All I know...

    Anyone got a number for BRP tech support? I have absolutely no faith in working with the dealership at this point.

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    Yep...took the tupperware off, it is wet. Also, I know they were probably in a hurry. I couldn't get them to answer the phone and finally when I talked to manager I was told they were backed up.

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    If I'm counting correctly it has happened to me about six times. This last time I was going faster than the other times. I think I've pushed my luck enough. The person riding behind me noticed and was going to ask what was going on, but on the communication system I told him that it just...

    Steering problems still and now an oil leak

    That's the problem, I don't trust it...and I don't want to worry every time I ride...that isn't fun. I bought it for fun and the feeling of freedom...riding in fear is not fun and it definitely doesn't feel very free when you are clutching the handle bars and praying the whole time to make the...
