• 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.

    2014 RT won't start - “Mode button” doesn’t work. Any ideas, or where to start looking?

    Have you checked the condition of the battery? A weak battery, or loose connections, can cause various issues. If you can remove the battery and take it to the dealer, or an auto parts store, and have it load tested. That would be a starting point.

    BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available

    Dropping Bluetooth connection happens to me in my Toyota RAV also. So it is not only a BRP issue. I have noticed things can get flakey when an update is installed in either the phone or the bike. A restart of the phone usually clears it up though.

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    I also ride a Spyder and two wheeled bikes. Have a Honda XR150, and a Royal Enfield Scram 411. I take them places I would not venture on my Spyder F3L. Both bikes and the Spyder have a different fun factor.

    Has anyone had any dealing with this online shop Micpartsonline

    I have not purchased from them. I did not find any ratings on Reseller.com . But that may be because I am in US and it appears your in Canada. Do you have a Better Business Bureau or similar entity to check with? If you Google them they do come up, so you can read the reviews posted there.

    Got an Over heating warning at idle, went away riding - any ideas what could be wrong?

    Did you check the radiator tank cover? Assuming that there are no signs of leaks. Could be that there was some air in the system. Keep an eye on the coolant levels, and check what codes may have popped up.
