• 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.

    Zumo 660 can't be trusted in my opinion

    So I've just been sitting here playing with the GPS and you are 100% correct. The OFFENDER is when you set the gps to avoid HIGHWAYS. Although I do agree with you that this is an "operator/device interpretation conflict" it should be this way. I've had severl GPS's including the Co-Pilot app...

    Zumo 660 can't be trusted in my opinion

    I know, I thought it must be something I'd done but everything looked right to me. I left it programmed to take me the 1300 miles but because I was familiar with the area, I went the way I've always gone. Thank goodness I had it on mute because it spent the day recalculating. It finally got with...

    Zumo 660 can't be trusted in my opinion

    My wife and I went away for a nice 5 day/4 night tour of northern Ontario this week. I just bought the spyder not long ago and have had some pretty significant issues due to water intrusion. It took the dealer a week to dry out the fuseboxes, clean them out and get the bike back to me. Since...

    Using cel phone gps vs zumo 660

    So it would appear that you agree that the iphone app you're using is easier to program with multiple via points than the zumo 660. I don't have a problem with programming each day of a trip separately because that's what I used to do with my Garmin Quest. I just find that it's an awkward...

    Using cel phone gps vs zumo 660

    I wondered about the power port getting wet as well. I'm thinking maybe a power port in the glove box and then just running the lightning plug up to the phone when using it. The Co-Pilot app also loads all the maps onto the device so not data concerns with it. That's important to me but most...

    My First Spyder

    Congratulations on your new Spyder. Trust me, eventually you'll stop reaching for the front brake :) There is definately a learning curve when coming to a Spyder from years of 2 wheels but it sure is a lot stressful in parking lots, sandy turns and 2 up etc etc etc. There are a whole lot of...

    Using cel phone gps vs zumo 660

    I've done a search and althought there are lot's of posts to read, I haven't found what I'm looking for. We had a 2011 Spyder RT and used my cel phone with the gps app Co-Pilot installed on it. I really like Co-Pilot because I can sit in the house and program a route with many way points on it...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    I just checked and canadian tire here carries the spray cans of fluid film. Do you actually spray it on the fuses or just on the outside of the fuse box?? How do you remove the fuse box cover after the fluid film is applied. We're actually thinking of a trip to the east next week. I was born in...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Yes, the fuse box issue seems to be resolved now. The VCM was mentions because one of the fault codes led to mechanic to that. Apparently there is some kind of connector box for the VCM and when he undid the box to check things out, water poured out of the box but the VCM is functioning...

    Caught in the rain - WOW

    8 bucks. Now that's a deal. What did you use? Looks like you used 3 bolts to attach?? How far off the ground is it? Thanks

    Caught in the rain - WOW

    I try and avoid rain but today I went for a long ride. Great weather, blue skys etc etc. About 15 miles from home the sky's opened up and it pourd rain all the way home. The 2014 Spyder RT sure seems to throw up a lot more water than my 2011 RT. I was on the highway doing 70 MPH when the rain...

    windshield movement - side to side

    This is my second Spyder RT and both have done it. I don't even notice it any more. One thing I've read several times is Don't have the windshield all the way up or all the way down. I usually allow about an inch from full up or down. Not sure if you've read them but on the forum the are Do's...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Finally Fixed (I HOPE) Got my Spyder back today around 2:30. When I dropped it off on Saturday, it was down-shifting by itself all the way to first at 50 mph. The mechanic found a code for the VCM (expensive) so when he went to check on Tuesday when they opened, he told me there's some kind of...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Thank you. After a lot of reading your opinion makes perfect sense. Definately I want a new fuse holder and cover regardless of who pays for it. The corroded wires definately need to be cut back until they find clean copper. Thanks again for you input, it's appreciated.

    limp mode again

    Scary stuff This is scary and unsafe to say the least. I know that many people have put many trouble free miles on their spyders. Unfortunately I'm not one of the and neither are you. I got rid of our 2011 Spyder RT SE5 due to mechanical issues and just bought a 2014 RT SE6 in a private sale...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Losing faith in BRP and Dealer So this morning I proceeded to take the spyder back to the dealer. Had the key out of the bike all night. Started right up but still in limp home mode and engine light etc still on. Drove 1 block, pulled over and turned bike off. Removed key and walked away for 4...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Update So I picked up my spyder at 5:30 today. The mechanic told me that he cleaned the left side fuse box and replaced all fuses and relays. Said that they did a good long road test with no issues. This was very good news. I told my wife that I was going to go for a good long ride to make...

    Good suggestion. I'll talk with the dealer today and see what they're willing to do for me. Thanks Greg
