• 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.

    GOOSE FACTS.....

    While I have always called them Canadian Geese... they are actually called Canada Geese. Look it up... I lost a bet on that with a Canadian. :opps:

    Bob D New RT

    I like it when people put all their "touches" on their Spyders, because when it doesn't work-out so well in other people's opinion, then my stock Spyder looks all the better for it. :roflblack: Seriously... it takes all-kinds, and all-kinds like different things -- whether anyone else likes it...

    Entire color change

    I would agree. I know of a MAACO owned by a guy that knows his stuff. MAACO advertises a low-price "paint-job"; however most of their work involves more money and is far better than the advertised "special". This owner does work for several custom car club members, of which he is a member...

    Riddle me this... NT

    Problem solved... but make sure you NEVER stick your hand in it... Bad news if you do... :roflblack: Just kidding, of course...;)

    When do you think the 2014 Paint Codes will be out?

    Not sure when the dealers get access to that info, but would be interested in hearing about it if you find out. I may be doing the same thing. May have to order new trailer wheels to match the machine's, as well as a new connector for power (mine is a 2011 so it will not match the 2014)...

    Side to Side sway.

    As mentioned by others... you could have some "technical" problems; but more than likely you are experiencing what many through the years have when first riding a Spyder. Your problem may be you. No offense intended. Many (and I mean MANY) people have reacted as you when first riding one...

    You can be assured info on 2014's will be included...

    Just called the dealer about the 2014 RT!!!

    If you read the information on the new '14 RTS you'll will find they redesigned the belt to handle the increased torque.

    FEEL RIPPED OFF

    Higher rpm's does not mean higher speed. I can do 7000 rpm's in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear and won't be breaking the sound-barrier. All it means when suggesting higher rpm's is to hold-on before shifting to the next higher gear. Too many feel they have to up-shift as soon as possible. Try...

    FEEL RIPPED OFF

    You must feel similar to those who just bought a 2013 Anniversary Harley Davidson Limited... only to find out about the upgrades they made to the '14 Limiteds...

    Here's a look at the 2014 Can-Am Spyder lineup

    Got to love the stats for the new engine on the dyno chart. This lower rpm torque is going to make a lot of people happy, especially those who do not like a higher-rev engine. Smart move by BRP.

    RPMs

    Scotty's point is a good one; however in addition, rpm's relation to speed depends on what gear you are in... I would be in 4th gear at 55 mph, thus I would not be as low as 4450 or even 4100. As a footnote: My speedometer indicates a speed that is higher (by a couple miles per hour) than I...

    Time to pull the plug.

    I also wish there were not as many problems. I have had a few, and have a few more to deal with; however my experience has been more good than bad. Just wish that was the case for more people... EDIT: Corrected my statement.

    Time to pull the plug.

    Assuming your 18 posts encompasses your entire experience here on SL... you might not have seen the number of negative/problem posts that are on here in comparison to posts about other more positive aspects of the machine (BS posts regarding personal info and such do not count). Certainly...

    Time to pull the plug.

    It is easy to get pulled into any negative news/conversation... however it is also easy to understand your reasons for pulling-the-plug. There are certainly enough issues that one would now consider it to be a major problem; unless they are blind or overly-optimistic on every issue. BRP had...

    ALL 2013 Spyders recalled

    Not really, in my opinion Bob. I don't want to get into the Spyder-bashing mode, but incidents like this make it difficult to sit on the sidelines and remain silent. Either BRP had no clue this was a problem (which means their design engineers or management have their heads stuck-up...

    When you "Walk away with Key to let computer reset" technique, how about spare key?
