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.

I did find a downloadable version:

Not sure how legit it is. About $30.00 but then you need to download it and print anywhere from 600-1100 pages. :doorag:
In the past I was just able to buy a large book on a bike.

"Will that be paper or electrons?"
I have this manual, it is an exact copy of the Can Am manual. Downloaded it, then put it on my iPhone & iPad. Yes, you can print it all out or just the pages you need when you need them.
Had one for my GS, well worth it, recently bought the one for my F3, very pleased.

Just my 2 cents on this.
Yes the online manuals are worth having. But be aware not all of them have everything in them like the wiring diagrams!
Some don't have the full parts listing.
The wiring diagram is a large format engineering print out. It is like 4 feet by 6 feet and shows the full layout.
I have yet to see that provided on any online manual.
What I like is this fold out sheet was printed on a large format printer from Xerox
Whom I work for
So I bought the online manual and was pretty happy with it. However once a "real" BRP manual became available to me, I have to say it was really worth it. I am a online guy and never print anything! But having a hard copy with the full huge wiring diagram was worth it.
When I am sitting at my PC about to work on my Spyder, reviewing the online manual for what to expect is great. But when I get in the garage and starting wrenching on stuff, having the hard copy is way better.
My 2 cents.

:agree: with Finless.
I have both and like Bob says, the downloaded one is great when sitting at my computer "planning" some little project and having the hard copy in the garage when planning becomes doing nothing beats it!

Really? I am now on 36 years with Xerox and so you know I was involved heavily with Service and CSE stuff till about 1999.
I know a lot of CSEs. Might I know you?
Oh and I assume you were a CSE since that's mostly who I meet simply by the numbers of people. But if you were a FMCS or something else in a district office... sorry to offend...
FYI we have another Xerox retired member here... Jtoro.

Someone I know upgraded from his 2010 to a 2014 and had bought the official manual. He sold it to me for $25. WELL WORTH IT!

You might think it does but I bet your missing the huge full layout! That is impossible to scan and put on CD.
Would you like me to show you what I am talking about? I am fully willing to shoot a video showing what your missing.

The manuals now do have a full size wire diagram that can be read on the screen of your computer but you have to enlarge it to see it . Put the PDF file on a thumb drive and look thru the yellow pages for a business that prints engineering drawing. Take the drive to them and show them the wiring diagram you want to print. I had several done at MAIL and MORE here. They printed out 36 x 48 inch drawings for the 2013 RT and ST and the one for the 2014 RT.
