• 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.

    What does the cotter pin on the rear axle do?

    My trailer hitch was installed by the dealer before I took delivery of a new 2018 RT-L. I removed it for the first time the other day getting the Spyder ready for a rear tire swap. Much to my surprise not only was there no cotter pin, but the axle nut and washer were missing! After 8,000...

    Another new BRP Connect App

    EatSleepRIDE Motorcycles app has shown up on my BRP Connect app. When I try to download it I get a "Cannot Connect to App Store" message so I can't yet comment on just what it does. It appears to be another navigation app, so I'm not too anxious to install it (even if I can). Anyone out there...

    Freedom trailer color match

    The black wheels need some flash. Too bad they are 4 bolt lugs, and not 3 like the RT. I would like to see if the chrome Spyder wheels would fit. Wrap My Spyder has a wrap template for the Spyder wheel but not for the Freedom trailer unfortunately. Planning on Albuquerque and the balloon fest...

    2018/19 New fangled dash instructions

    Thanks for the info. I got my 2018 manual out and went pretty much page by page comparing it to the 2019 manual. Right off, the new manual has eliminated all mention of the SM6 model. I haven't asked my dealer if the SM6 is no longer made, but I'd guess not. No mention of the supposedly...

    Freedom trailer color match

    Thanks for the pics. The trailer looks great! I can see me doing the same thing. By the way, my wife and I spent some time on our RTL(with trailer or course) in your great state this past summer. Roswell (I'm now a believer), Taos (the Enchanted Circle ride was exceptional with the Viet Nam...

    Freedom trailer color match

    It was meant for RidinOn3. I'd like to see what his trailer looks like.

    Freedom trailer color match

    I may pull a panel and go to the auto parts store to check out their spray can colors. I think you are right about a close match. The trailer is far enough back from the bike that no one would ever notice the difference.

    I'd like to see a picture.

    Freedom trailer color match

    I want to add some color to my black Freedom trailer that will match the champaign color of my '18 RTL. The Can-am accessory catalog has some nice stripe kits, but not in champaign (or whatever the official color name is). Ive had a nice email exchange with Pete at Wrap My Spyder, and I think...

    Accessories Bracket

    That's it! Either one will work! Thank you.

    Accessories Bracket

    On one of the Spyder accessories sellers web sites I saw an accessories bracket that spans the two bolts on the top of the RT dash. I'm trying to figure out a way to mount an action camera, and this looks like a good option. I'll be darned though, if I can now find that site. Can anyone point...

    New BRP Connect App

    The only voice change that I could find there was to choose between American and British English. I tried both and can't tell any difference.

    New BRP Connect App

    The "equals 25" is almost as annoying as the "Slowdown" in Genius Maps. Hopefully that is a glitch that they fix.

    New BRP Connect App

    Rain and cold here for the next week, so my free 8 days are going to be gone before I have a chance to try it out. Let us know how you like it.

    Positive comments about Spyders

    I was glad to see this post. It gives me the opportunity to heap some praise on my dealer, Edwards Motorsports in Council Bluffs Iowa. My buying and service experience there has been "top-Notch". Justin Carter in Sales exceeded my expectations in trade negotiations and securing the deal. He has...

    New BRP Connect App

    I do belong to NSIR. I haven't had a chance to join in on any gatherings yet. Seems like always something else going on. Hope to join in soon.

    New BRP Connect App

    Tap on the speaker icon at the bottom of the map screen. Then, under audio alerts, you can disable those alerts individually. Unfortunately, it is not permanent. It will reset itself to re-enable if you leave the app and return.

    New BRP Connect App

    You and me both on the Genius Maps "Speed Limit" warning. :sour: I even put a sticky note on the cell phone holder, and I still forget to disable that warning. Once you are under way, its too late to do anything about it.

    New BRP Connect App

    I just discovered a new app that is compatible with BRP Connect. It is called Sygic and is another navigation app. It looked promising as an alternative to Genius Maps, so I downloaded the app and maps, secretly hoping that this one would be free. It wasn't until I did all of that did I...
