• 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.

    Anti Freeze Leak

    A crack developed on reservoir (it was an RS). It was a warranty repair. Less than two years old. Good people at Fun Machines in Daytona Beach did it for me while I was down at Bike week a couple of years ago!

    Three "Simple" Things (that BRP can do)

    I had the "in Dash" mounted plug nstalled prior to my RS Pick-up in 2008 and Again this time around I am having it installed on my new RT. It SHOULD be standard. So convenient to plug in a GPS or a plethora or other Ram mounted electronic options

    Red or Blue?

    Thanks Scotty! You are a great source of knowledge. Good to know also that the Blue is not NECESSISARILY about the Spyder. the area tells me it might be for the Ski-Doo rating, but I'll check it out. (Barrie & Midland, Ontario are in the middle of SNOW Country). Thanks for all of your help...

    Past that pount now, I think. I love the service dept at this dealership. Paid for the Spyder and just waiting on the delivery. So.... just a heads up on when Ni can expect it (really) now. Looks like April should be a good bet (thanks Fast Fraser)

    Proper turning on a Spyder RT

    I didn't ryde as many twp wheelers as many on the reply list. but I did have about 12 or so and have ridden them over the last 42 years. The huge difference on the Spyder for me was NOT to Push steer. Once I got confortable with letting the power steering do it own thing. NO PROBLEM. Stay...

    Red or Blue?

    Does anyone know the difference (if there is one) between the Red & Blue dealer icons on the BRP dealer location site? I have one of each about an hour away in two directions.

    :2thumbs: very encouraging. April would work fine for me. Looks like I will need to get me a snowmobile suit. Hope to get out for a few Rydes this year with you. Check out Ontario Spyder Ryder's on Facebook :D

    How long does it take?

    Thanks, that kind of helps me get an idea. My deposit was made on October 6th, 2011 and the order made. Yours was 3 months (assuming that production of '12's were already underway in August. I call for an update about every month. :) When I ordered my '08 RS January 4, 2008 - I rec'd it in...

    How long does it take?

    Just curious to find if anyone has a 2012 RT-S yet? I ordered mine in October and the dealer tells me that he hasn;t recieved the order yet. I figured it would perhaps not be on the assempbly line until October or Nov 2011 for the 2012's, maybe even January...BUT it is almost the end of February...

    Stock Rear Tire

    :agree: I paid over $200 for Avon Rear tire on my V-Star $185 for a rear tire on a bike (Canadian price) is a steal IMO. It is also 2 ply sidewall and engineered for a Spyder!

    Poll about tires

    I have heard that some riders with car tires on thier bikes (they were two wheel machines though) had problems with thier insurance companies because they hade deemed the accident "Could have" been prevented if the motorcycle had motorcycle tires on it. The one that I was close to was a Valkery...

    Would you do this?

    Not if the roads are Salted It sure sounds like a lot of fun and a great cause. I'm not sure if the roads are salted in Indiana. The Toronto area starts to speread salt on the roads when the snow starts. That is when I put my Spyder away. Salt will start pitting the aluminum parts and I would...

    question about motor revs

    :agree: I don't think that 1,400 rpm is that high. Seems the R1 Yamaha is in the same ballpark and it's power-band is only slightly higher

    Best Wax to use on Spyder.

    I use Nu-Finish. It is a polymer and not really a "wax" but once a year before I put her to bed for the winter does the trick. www.nufinish.com if you want to check out some of the write-ups

    RT vs RS

    I have to agree that it is great marketing. I like the BLUE RT and wanted the RT-S Features so I paid the $28.5 (Cdn) and didn't even get the Red. I would have bought the Limited...but they don't come in BLUE.
