• 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.

    Goodbye

    We have 2 choices in this life. Leave because something bothered us, or stay for the people who care about us. Unfortunately, most choose the first option, then find something that bothers them at the next junction. I agree with mecsw500. Why not find out what went wrong before pulling the pin.

    How long does the Factory Belt Tensioner last by miles?

    Yes, Snowbelt is smarter than I am. You're right! Hypocritical of me, I suppose. Perfection eludes me still...

    Just When You Think You've Seen It All...

    I'm not trying to make anyone look bad here. I don't want this post to become a referendum on any person. We all let things in life go from time to time. My intention is not ridicule, but to educate. This customer is a great guy and I respect him. So please, be kind if you choose to post. I'm...

    How long does the Factory Belt Tensioner last by miles?

    It's worth the effort. The wheel should spin free. Put some tension on the wheel and turn it slowly in your hand. If it is in good shape, it will be smooth as glass. If not, you should have no trouble noticing.

    Confusing info in the users guide - am I missing something, or what?

    It is interesting that there is actually no 'High Beam/Low Beam' in the classic understanding. In reality, your 'High Beam' is always on. Instead, BRP, as many others do today, uses shutters over a single light housing. Like opening and closing an eyelid, these shutters come down converting the...

    How long does the Factory Belt Tensioner last by miles?

    The correct answer to this question is that the factory belt tensioners will last forever with no maintenence reqired. They are located at the back of every Spyder swingarm as seen in the picture below. The device being discussed here has virtually nothing to do with belt tension. What is...

    12 injured after the Rider of a Spyder loses control in Brooklyn, NY

    We had a saying in the Fire Service (we had a lot of them). There is always time to panic later... Panic will bring more damage than the original issue that caused it.

    After Honest Feedback on BajaRon's Ultra Sway Bar for a 2021 F3-S (300lbs solo rider)?

    In your case, you would see a good amount of improvement with the Ultra-Bar over our Original BajaRon Bar Kit. I agree with CopperSpyder, though this has not been the universal order of business. The great majority have been quite happy going with the series of events as he has listed them...

    Can anyone point me to a video showing how to do Spark plug change for late model RT's?

    You should be able to get 35K out of the OEM spark plugs. I highly recommend cleaning your fuel injectors while you are there. They may not need it, but if they do, changing spark plugs isn't going to get you where you want to be. It's also a good idea to change your fuel filter at the same...

    Exhaust-ed day

    I wish we could get away from the hard 90 degree outlet to a more strealined, body flowing system. But I know that would make things more difficult and expensive for a number of reasons. Glad you're happy with the results.

    28k Service - I must rant about my experience

    Like you say, Peter, as much as has been said, it's hard to cover it all. Every business has their profit areas, and their sidelines. These machines are, without a doubt, front and center to us. But really, nothing more than a sideline afterthought to most dealers. I've mentioned it before, but...

    28k Service - I must rant about my experience

    I have not found this to be true. We have a good many customers who are on their 4th or 5th Spyder. I don't have the numbers on the demographics that BRP would have. But I can guarantee you, they have their finger on the pulse of this aspect. Of course we work on the older models, so our...

    Does this Belt Tensioner Idler Stabilizer Roller look familiar?

    R&D is expensive with no initial return on investment. It's all out of pocket expense. Then you have to develop a market for the product. Once you've done all of this, then you begin reaping profit which eventually overtakes the expense of development and you're in the green. The Chinese...

    28k Service - I must rant about my experience

    I always apply the Rush Limbaugh axiom - 'Follow the Money'. This policy puts a lot of pressure on the consumer to purchase a new machine. This is amplified by the fact that there really isn't anything else out there competing with the Spyder. It’s a bit more complicated than this, but bottom...

    Will any year Spyder Centramatic Wheel Balancers fit my 2025? Anyone know where I can still get a set?

    I will just say this and be quiet because I know people who swear by these balancing devices and I'm not here to talk them out of it. However, the first thing we do with any kind of wheel balance issue is to remove these balancers. They are known to create more issues than they solve. We have...
