• 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.

    Spyder Cluster in Ontario

    Still waiting for the Blue ones to be shipped. Crossing my fingers for the famous "should be here by the end of the month". (That was the reply for December, January & February - LOL) Looking forward to seeing you (and Pam) on March 29 - Stay posted for time and location. You can lurk around...

    Personalizing the RT

    VERY Nice touch. I like the subtle touch of Class. :thumbup: Regarding the Waterbased Vegas White - ya gotta figure we Canadians for the ECO- Friendly stuff - it's like we can all come out of the Left Coast or something ;)

    Which Event are you Most Looking Forward to This Year?

    If I could do it....Yup it would be the Rockie Mountains! But I can't so I won't - but If I could, I would

    I didn't think a spyder was this fast....

    HAS to be kph. It is very easy to set between the mph & kph, a feature I love because i cross the border into the USA quite often! Now on the same topic: How much faster, or quicker is the RS than the RT (if at all)? I know the HP is more on the RS. Lower weight as well, so I am guessing it...

    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...

    How long does it take?

    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...
