• 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.

    Rust dust

    I was doing an oil change and inspection. This is what I found, picture below. Called the dealer. Because it is still under extended warranty. They are really busy so next available appointment is October 14th. So I put it back together and will drive it until then. If it was not under warranty...

    In Canada it has been a problem for a while with ordering anything from outside the country. When it gets to Canada customs, it can sit for a while. From the US not so bad, 5 to 7 days, but anywhere else it take 20 to 30 days. Since the Covid 19 thing happened. It is far worse. I ordered a...

    Android and BT BRP Connect

    Last year occasionally my phone, using google music, would pause a song for no apparent reason while BT connected to the Spyder, stopping playback. But the dash would show that it was still playing. I found that all I needed to do was advance to the next song and it would start playing again...

    Warranties and other addons at purchase.

    I know many folks like the comfort of knowing they have an extended warranty or service contract when they purchase their Spyder. That is understandable. When you buy the Best Warranty from BRP.
