• 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.

    How can I leave the parking brake off when parked in the garage?

    Don't overthink the alleged problem. The parking brake cable is specified to handle way more than the force the brake motor will apply to set the brake. Moreover, and you can test this yourself, turn off the engine with the Spyder in gear, move it manually and you will see that in gear, the SE6...

    Newly Bought 2010 Spyder RT for my father to enjoy his final years in life.

    I strongly agree with the other posters who've complimented you on what you're doing for your dad. Given the age of the Spyder and the fact that the dealership said the fuel should be replaced, did they say anything about the age of the tires? If they are OEM Kendas, there should be a DOT...

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    There is a ferry across Bull Shoals Lake NE of Harrison, AR that was no problem for my RT with its SpyderPops bump skid or my touring partner's F3. It is a small ferry operation, two of them, powered by John Deere tractor engines.

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    In almost 11 years I've been rather frequently asked, most often by women, "Is that fun?" My standard reply, "If it wasn't, I can assure you I wouldn't do it."

    2014 RT not Shifting into 1st or R after shutting down - any advice?

    Well, at least it didn't fall off. LOL!

    What are your Phone Holder Preferences? Brand/style & placement?

    My phone resides in the trunk in a pocket organizer. It is Bluetooth paired to my Zumo 590 and I use the Zumo's phone app only when I have a need, extremely seldom, or opportunity to pull off the road. With all the buttholes on the road my safety is paramount and I decline to be distracted while...

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    If you purchased the intake system from Ron, why not call him? He stands behind the products he sells.

    Trying to source a Bumpskid for my F3S, but everywhere shows 'out of stock' - any ideas why? Or where to get one?

    Why not call Harvey Clark, (501) 760-1234, and get information straight from the horse's mouth.

    What price should I be asking for a 2014 RT Limited Seat & Backrest?

    FWIW, when I bought my Spyder in 2014, I purchased the Comfort Seat because of the extra leg room it afforded. A good friend had a '15/'16 RT limited, don't remember which, that he had purchased an Ultimate seat for but did not like and wanted to try a Russell Day Long. He sold the Ultimate and...

    Right side fairing pushpins in fairing won't line up - any ideas?

    You say you tried adjusting the "bent" pin. What did you do in "adjusting" it? You can flex the upper side panel to get the "bent" pin into its grommet and then push the straight pin into its grommet. If you put a spritz of Windex on each grommet it makes inserting the push pins easier to slip...

    Oil Change on 2016 RTS is a pain

    You can flex the top side panels, both left and right, to get the curved push pin in their respective holes. I always do the curved pins first and then the straight ones. A spritz of Windex on the rubber grommets will aid in getting the pins in, and when it dries, just a few min, the grommets...

    How Much Oil To Add?

    The BRP writers who author the Operator's Guides used the same picture of the RS dipstick from the year it was introduced, 2010, until its last year of production, 2016 (Copying is always easier than original research. Ask any 2014 RT owner who found an incorrect picture of the new 1330 ACE...
