• 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.

    Help - Looking for someone in East Tn to work on 2010 RT with Fault Codes & Limp Mode

    My problem with Mountain Motorsports was that when I talked to the folks at the location in Greeneville TN about the location of the latch for the glovebox, they indicated to me that it was part of the whole glovebox assembly. So I ordered that. It arrived, nope, the latch was a separate part...

    Help - Looking for someone in East Tn to work on 2010 RT with Fault Codes & Limp Mode

    Racoon mentioned Mountain Motorsports. I would push my Spyder to BajaRons before driving to Mountain Motorsports!

    Coming back to a Spyder - anyone found a dealer selling both BMW bikes and Spyders?

    Exactly what BajaRon said! And if can get financing and insurance yourself, instead of relying on what the dealership offers, you'll come out way ahead!

    When Only On Street Angled Parking is available, do you back in, or drive in?

    After driving a truck for 45 years, and meeting cops and dot revenue enhancement agents that are given a ticket book with instructions to write as many tickets as they can, here is my take. On angled parking, pull straight into the space. Back out when leaving. Invariably you will get that one...

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    Why would you think that, sir? I knew a lady who bought one and brought it to the class. She was driving it fairly slowly during the class, got confused, gunned it, ran it up an embankment, crashed, and later died from complications.

    Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

    That person is absolutely wrong. I had a class A. I wanted to learn about the Spyder. I took the course and was blown away with the education that I received. And I wouldn't rule out anything from 2014 forward. The 1330 engine along with the 6 speed transmission is in my opinion better than...

    Anyone here been stopped for using a Brake Free unit?

    I guess the revenue enhancement agent would have a problem with the numerous bicycle riders that have a flashing red light under their seat! I see that a lot, and love them!

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    As a former truck driver, I've been on many ferries. I don't remember any that if you simply approach the ramp at a 45 degree angle you would have a problem.

    Do they make a mount for the passenger grip on a Spyder RT?

    Anyone make an Insulated cup and mount for an RT for the passenger side?

    Ironically, I had bought 2 from Motorcycle Dave! (I lost one when the first Spyder burned up!) I didn't realize that they spread that much, I assumed that they more or less held a regular water bottle! I went in the house, found an insulated mug with a handle and closing lid, and viola! I'm in...

    Anyone make an Insulated cup and mount for an RT for the passenger side?

    Hi folks, before I get flamed, I've searched this to no avail. Does anyone make an insulated mug/cup and mount for an RT for the passenger side? (Ours is a 2014 RRS!)

    Tire search - what is everyone going to these days?

    Updated kendas, is that the same as old coke, new coke? I'm trying to understand why anyone would trust a kenda anything! No disrespect intended sir!

    Spyder shopping - 998 vs 1330, is the 1330 that much better?

    Once you remove the Tupperware, it's very easy, and fast! I recommend the Magic mirrors, makes it much easier!

    Tire search - what is everyone going to these days?

    No disrespect sir! Kenda puts me in mind of the old Sears Robuck and Comp. Many years ago I took my car in for brakes. Advertised at $200.00 for all 4. My bill was over $700.00! About that time there was a class action lawsuit against Sears for deceptive practices that cost the big bucks. I...
