• 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.

    Advenures from bad to worse on a new RT-S

    hope to not be a whiner but what is driving me nuts is the BRP blame game. Dealer claims that is a backorderd parts issue but in the next conversation says we test rode it for X days. Which is it Service Manager who knows squat it appears about the RT-S. Not this guy who suggested using the...

    Lack of dealer competence

    I loved the Spyder when I first saw one a few years back, just like I liked my ugly little Saab. For the few miles I got on the RT-S I was in love with the riding experience, it is the dealer experiance that is driving me bonkers

    Lack of dealer competence

    I had thought I had made an informed buying decision in my recent RT-S purchase but thus far have been very disapointed in the depth of knowledge in the service and parts department at the #1 rated dealership I purchased it from. Is the Spyder such a niche product that I need to cultivate a...

    Advenures from bad to worse on a new RT-S

    :( Well they supposedly got the clutch fixed after having my BRAND NEW SPYDER for almost four weeks. The blame was placed on backordered parts but then the story also changed every time I talked to them. They deliver it today, supposedly all better, but cannot get it to start and back it off...

    Clutch issues on 2011 RTS SE5

    It would seem that a part shortage has hit BRP. My repairs have now been postponed for another week. I am not a happy camper since I had to cancel a trip to Oregon with the bike still in the shop:mad: Looks like I will get to make my first payment on a put put that has spent most of its life...

    Clutch issues on 2011 RTS SE5

    Got a call from dealer last monday all repairs will be under warranty. :2thumbs: It will be 3-5 days on the parts. Called today to check status, another 3-5 days on the parts:dontknow: Dealer looses at least a point for giving bad info. BRP loses another point for parts availability. Unless...

    Clutch issues on 2011 RTS SE5

    GM of dealer as well as SM called yesterday in concern about my:mad:post. I have read on several forums what a pain BRP can be about warrantee repairs, and that seems to be playing itself out. At this point I give the dealer an 8 and BRP a lower score. Don't understand why it takes more than a...

    shifting advice question

    I noticed right away with mine that it performed much better with speed shifting. It won't let you skip gears like a manual, just keep the revs up

    Clutch issues on 2011 RTS SE5

    Right now the dealership is being very helpful. It seems that BRP is the holdup. And the service manager is trying to replicate the issue as well given the circumstances. It may be that the PB was not fully releasing. We shall see what happens, and I will keep folks in the loop.

    Clutch issues on 2011 RTS SE5

    Took delivery of my new RTS on Tuesday and had some fantastic times getting used to it and put about 40 miles on it. Next morning road to work, then ran a couple of errands. Noticed after reversing back out of a parking space and shifting to first that it hestated on take off. Drove about 1/2...
