• 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.

    2023 RT - What do you guys get for miles between Brake Pad Replacements?

    Brake pad replacement is like tire replacement, excluding the OEM Crapendas, it depends on how you ride. The least expensive initial approach is to call Bajaron and talk to him about EBC fully sintered brake pads. You will learn a lot. Next ask him about EBC rotors. The combination of the two...

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

    I'm not a contrarian; to each his own. Shawn Smoak has a long winded video of doing an oil change on a 2015 RT in which he shows the correct way to remove and reinstall the mirrors. Find it here:

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    I am on my third General Altimax, and on the first two of them I replaced them early because I didn't want to be on the far side of beyond on a long tour and have the tour upended because I couldn't find another Altimax (Wally World can solve that problem) and, most important, a BRP dealership...

    Anyone tried Rotating their front directional tires? Worth it?

    The dealership closest to my home that had a very good service department but is no longer in business rotated my front Krapendas at no cost to me to determine what was wrong with the right front tire that would not balance. That did not work so I went to a pair of Federals Lamonster...

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    In the bargaining details, I suggest you tell them you won't settle for anything but a Yuasa 350 CCA battery; don't let them stick you with one of those junk Chinese batteries.

    Wrapped my 2021 RT Limited

    The carbon fiber wrap on the mirror caps is very distinctive. Bravo Zulu!

    Do Tinted Helmet Visors diminish your ability to see out in the dark/night?

    I experience exactly the same fogging on my built-in tinted visor on my Shoei; the first Shoei did same thing. I wear a skull cap too, but it doesn't help the fogging. I'm accustomed to the pinlock and it doesn't bother me, as the majority of my less than full daylight riding is in the a.m. when...

    Towing - To cover, or not to cover?

    I ride it wherever I go so I'm not confronted with the should I, shouldn't I. I have also ridden for multiple hours in absolutely frog strangling rain and my roadster has come out quite filthy, but I'd rather wash a filthy Spyder than discover what a flapping cover can do to a roadster finish...

    Do Tinted Helmet Visors diminish your ability to see out in the dark/night?

    I have a Shoei Neotec II helmet, routinely wear sunglasses with 2.00 cheater lenses to aid reading my GPS and only rarely use the tinted visor if I'm riding locally. The helmet instructions caution against using any type of tinted visor that might reduce night time visibility. YMMV.

    87 Octane seems to work just fine

    I routinely run 93 because that's what the manufacturer recommends. However, when you're on tour out on the far side of beyond, you have to take what you can get, and there sometimes is nothing other than 87. What I try to do on those occasions is refuel at facilities that appear to do a good...

    Has anyone used one of these trailers? Any doubts?

    I wouldn't consider wasting my time trying to modify something, but would put max effort in trying to find a deal on an aluminum trailer.

    The oil plug - Murphy showed up today.

    Murphy was an optimist!

    Getting close to decision time. I need some input from those who have ridden an F3-L and RTL?

    If you don't try both Spyders and log some decent miles you may select the wrong vehicle for you and the pillion once you get to riding two up. Given your size and weight, you best confirm the maximum weight allowed for each type of Spyder.

    What's with the Herky Jerky on first cold start-up of each day? Any thoughts?

    I mentioned the point about the battery tender because comparing my actions on my first with the second battery, both Yuasa, the second is doing better than the first by better than a year, touch wood. The dealership comp'ed the Junior, and had the pigtail installed and peeking out of the frunk...

    2024 RTL - The ride is a bit rough

    I find that since I prefer backroads whenever possible, on some of them intersections can be worse than the Burma Road because they are not maintained as frequently as more high traffic volume roads and there are more ruts and bumps the L and R front tires are encountering.
