• 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.

    2016 RT rear brake caliper piston wouldn't screw in - anyone else has run into this?

    The rear caliper on all Brembo brake calipers, used on 2013 Spyders and later, screw in UNLESS they unscrew so far that they lose contact with the threads. At this point you have to press the piston back against the threads and turn it to reengage the threads. Not an easy assignment due to the...

    2012 RT experiencing mushy brakes

    First step would be to bleed your brakes, all 3. If that does not resolve the problem, you may well need a new master cylinder. Quite common on the older, Chinese brake systems. If it is your master cylinder, it will continue to deteriorate as you use it.

    Solved our Stuck Fan Relay Issue!

    Those who are afraid to fail, will fail to succeed.

    Up/Downshift Issues - I may have found the cause.

    Planned obsolesence... We replace a fair number of these. It would be nice to have the time to tear into them and see if there is a pattern. But at the end of the day, we want the day to come to an end!

    Is there a Spyder's in the Ozarks date for 2025?

    I plan to be there. I wonder if we should try to get a list of people coming. That would help us plan what we'd like to do. Just a thought.

    Just wanted to share the unbridled joy and ease of riding the Spyder!

    Practice SMOOTH, looking through the turn and not at it, and apexing. It takes some experience since the Spyder is wider than 2 wheels, and it steers much more responsivity than 2 wheels as well. Not that you aren't already doing this. But I have to remind myself to do it when I don't need it...

    What are your thoughts on Magic Mirrors or Magnetic Mirror mounts for a 2016 RT Limited?

    Magnetic mirrors are the way to go. Even if you do the mirror removal correctly. Eventually, the contact points will get loose, start to shake as you ride, and maybe even lose a mirror. The kit is easily installed and permanently resolves the problem.

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    This is part of the equation. This addresses the fact that there is an ideal molecule size for oil. This ideal size is very stable and resists destruction from outside forces like gears in your transmission, heat, etc. It also flows better in cold conditions than the random sized molecules in...

    Is this the VSS not working? Anyone experienced it before? What came of it?

    The Spyder can be flipped fairly easily in reverse. Which nullifies the stability advantages of a reverse trike. You still have to work at it some. But not nearly as much as when going forward.

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    The dealer is either ignorant or untruthful. Either way, not a good thing. You could run zero tire pressure (if that were possible) and the tire would still wear out in the middle, though 30 psi is a bit higher than recommended. Run 20-24 PSI in your Toyo. Some are running less than this.

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    Synthetic is better. Blended is cheaper. Both will work. But Synthetic will work better.

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    Interesting. This oil is not JASO rated. Nor is it recommended for wet clutch applications. If you have clutch issues, I wouldn't let BRP know what you are using. This will definitely void whatever warranty you might have on your clutch.

    Are there any Lift kits available for RT's? Something to raise ride height?

    You should be 3.5" to 4" from ground to bottom of center frame channel at the front when loaded as ridden.

    Wish I had not gone with a Vredestien Tire

    Sundown, what you are doing is judging a product by it's looks and opinions of those who have never tried one. First, look at the wear pattern of your OEM rear tire. It is likely going bald in a 3-3.5" center track. Ask yourself, 'Why is this?' It's because that's all the rubber you have in...
