• 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.

    Got any long trips planned for the Spyder?

    Sturgis 2015 Decided to go to Sturgis this year from Washington State. Will be a 12 day trip so I guess that's fairly long. Only going to ride 300 or so miles a day and spend 4 days at the rally. Will be going the northern route through Glacier National Park and back through Wyoming through...

    im just sayin

    I have a 2013 RT-s I keep in Az. for the winter months and a 2014 RT-s I have in Washington for May to November. Perfect combination for me because I do my long distance cruising in the summer and the 2014 is better for that with the quieter motor, lower RPMs, better gas mileage and reduced...

    Trying to decide............

    I have the tall and wide Cal-Sci windshield and really like it. I'm 6'6" tall and the factory windshield didn't go up far enough to eliminate the wind buffeting on my helmet. Mine has a vent and has never had a bug accumulation problem and is very stable with the factory windshield mount. If I...

    Top Speed of 2014 RT

    Had mine at 103 and only pulling 5800 rpms. I think 110+ is possible but need a long straight stretch. Was very stable. The aerodynamics kind of make the bike squat at speed.:yes::yes::yes:

    Front wheel alignment

    Tire issue After Laser alignment my 2014 still pulled right so I took to the dealer I purchased it from. First time they said it still needed an alignment but they didn't have time I rescheduled for the same time I needed my 3000 mile check and arranged to leave the bike overnight. This dealer...

    RT HEAT ISSUE AND GAS SMELL

    Mesa Az. riding The only way I can ride my 2013 RT-s in the hot months in Az. is too wear heavy jeans and leather chaps and boots. Otherwise I will get 2nd degree burns on my right calf. I then leave the bike outside for at least 1/2 hr. before putting in garage due to the gas smell. My 2014...

    14 & 15 RT's and the battery tender (battery maintainer)

    Changing fuse Do we still have reposition the fuse from slot 6 to slot 7 to have the 12 volt outlet in the trunk hot all the time on the 2014. I know I had to do this on my 2013 RT-s.

    Just Booked Strugis

    Going also. I have a campsite reserved at the KOA in Rapid city for Aug2-6. Cost $159 for 4 nights. Has a swimming pool and hot tubs so I figure it should be fun. About 30 miles from Sturgis, which is far enough to reduce the craziness to a level I can survive. When we get closer to showtime...

    Sturgis 2015

    Anyone planning on going to Sturgis next year for the 75th anniversary of the rally. I already have my campsite reserved at the KOA in Rapid City and was wondering if anyone else is going. If so, we should have a rendezvous sometime on the 3rd or 4th. Let's see if we can get this working.

    Cat Bypass - The Next Step in Heat Reduction

    Simple Question I have a simple question that is totally non-political. What is the difference between a Cat Bypass and just removing the catalytic convertor completely. I would think a muffler shop could cut out the catalytic convertor and replace with length of muffler tubing and weld the...

    Seeking advice

    The trick that got me to relax my grip, especially at speed, was to use the cruise control more and that way I didn't have to grip the throttle all the time. After that I began to get used to the light touch. Good Luck.

    Would you Buy 2013 RT (new)?

    I have a 2013 RT-s and a 2014 RT-s and I wish I never bought the 2013. Waste of money and you have to put a grand or more into it to get a bike you can ride when it's over 90 degrees. Even then you have the 998 motor and the low gas mileage and range.

    DILEMA

    Be aware that the Spyder is a long belt drive and 2 miles on gravel every day will be a problem. Stones in the belt tear them up and cost money to replace. I agree with you that the Spyder is not the same as a two wheel in the tight turns. The bike doesn't lean and the centrifugal force makes...

    2014 RTS - howl

    Compare 2013 to2014 I have both a 2013 RT-s and a 2014 RT-s. I like the sound and quick response of the 2013 better than the 2014 triple. My 2013 has a throaty sound and the 2014 is more of a whine. The 2013 has better acceleration and is really quick. I think the 2014 will be a better...
