• 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.

    P0106 error code and air filter maintenance

    Hi Aero, your post encouraged me to do filter maintenance on my 2014 RTS. The K&N filter did need cleaning. My intake mod is much more open in the very front and it gets more bugs than the standard, restricted, OEM inlet. Well, one thing leads to another, so I cleaned the filter on the poor...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Cleaned the K&N air filter today. It needed it, as some of the filter was insect blocked, some just blocked with road schmutz, and some just looked untouched.

    Rear ACS/suspension on 2015 RT seems to have failed - anyone else? How did you address it?

    Mikey gave the correct info. Mine, a 2014 RTS, also had a swivel connector. All was removed and a piece of the correct hose connected the Schrader valve to the air bag. Oh, it's really dirty down there - be prepared for it. Lew L

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Hi Arne, Did you install the safety wires on your new Magic Mirrors?? They saved me a BIG expense on a poorly maintained mountain pass up in the Sierra Nevada. Lew L

    What Phone/GPS Holder works with the early RT Handlebars?

    I made a dash mount out of scrap aluminum. It's a copy of the one the JT used to sell here. 4 holes to mount whatever. I have the GPS and a clock with a ram ball for whatever I need. The LM660 Garmin is high, and I don't lose vision of the view ahead. A few straight ram bars for positioning. I...

    Any Tips for removing clutch oil drain plug before hot oil shoots out?

    Many moons ago I took my Dremel tool and opened up the holes in the plastic panel around both drain plugs. Made life much easier and less messy. I do let things cool a bit before draining the oil but it's still quite warm. Lew L

    A different take on HD logo on stuff!

    Not a logo guy... I've removed most of the BRP logos from the Spyder. I don't purchase clothes of any kind with logos. The one sticker on my car is an American flag. I just don't see why I should advertise for some company.

    First ride after adding seat gel hoping for more comfort, but nope, no change! What to do? Anybody made theirs better?

    Rode most of the day yesterday through a few of the Sierras finest passes. The AirHawk did just great. Borrow one if you have to and adjust it correctly (not as much air as you might think). You might not return it!!!!

    Looks like it's time to give up the ride - thoughts fm others who've faced this?

    . I'll be 78 this fall and I'm not giving up anything. Still ride the poor, old, slow V-Max ; Skied 47 days ( well mornings) this year; will ryde the Spyder till the wheels fall off. My wife knows how to pack so we can take all we need in the RT. Oh, I still have my aches and pains, and...

    Rear ACS/suspension on 2015 RT seems to have failed - anyone else? How did you address it?

    Changed mine to manual years ago after a compressor failure. An inexpensive fix, it holds pressure for many weeks...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Took the 2014 RTS out of hibernation and drove about 20 miles. Checked the oil, all is good. All other fluids were checked when I put it in for its winter nap.
