• 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.

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

    My close riding friends call it a 'shopping cart' in jest but they respect that 'it' stays with their Beemers in the twisties and slab runs with no problems. Especially when we park on hills, dirt or gravel!

    Is anyone using this ROAR PEDAL CONTROLLER?

    I had the Pedal Commander on my RT until I had to bring it in for a repair and set it back to stock. I haven't put it back on since (about 1500 miles) and I notice my gas mileage has GREATLY IMPROVED from the mid-20s to high 30s! Who'da thunk? :rolleyes::eek:

    Riding my new to me Spyder from Texas to Maine, seat won't stay up & USB port won't charge - anyone else? Any fixes/ideas/help?

    Like ned65 said, the seat piston is too weak and can be replaced with a 30# piston. Some just disconnect the piston and carry a stick to prop up the seat. You'll probably need to install a USB charging port on the handlebars to get enough juice to drive new smart phones.

    Trip, Maine to Yellowstone

    And soon you'll get to watch the earth squirt and clear your sinus from the sulfur pits!

    Will changing out the front shocks help prevent lifting one front wheel in tight corners?

    I have lifted the inside wheel off the ground countless times without the Nanny complaining. The more miles I logged, the less the Nanny intruded, to a point now where I think she got deported. :rolleyes:

    Will changing out the front shocks help prevent lifting one front wheel in tight corners?

    The only time I lift the inside wheel is when I don't lean in enough for the G-forces (speed & radius). I have a BR sway bar and Elka S2 shocks all around.

    2024 RTL. Looking for 12v switched power in frunk - any direction/help?

    The black plate is ~$10. The BRP chin light is $300. You can buy a 5in LED strip for less than $10 and mount it over the black plate.

    Trip, Maine to Yellowstone

    That's a nice trip. Try to get in Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower, Bear Tooth Pass, Needles Park, and Badlands along the way.

    Got an Over heating warning at idle, went away riding - any ideas what could be wrong?

    Were the radiator fans running?

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

    Airhawk/WildA$$ has been the answer for my butt on all my rides since returning to long days on the bikes/Spyder. The major advantages are: - they are far less expensive (~$120) than a custom seat (~$500+) - can be moved to another ride in seconds - if it doesn't solve your butt ache you're not...

    Why is there a removable Rear fender tip on the Canyons?

    The flap is held on with 4 push-pins and can be easily removed if the tire is off (or lowered with shock bolt removed). Without it, riders behind you will not enjoy the crap the tire ejects!

    Are these Tires too old?

    If the tires are OEM (Kenda) you would be wise to replace them asap! Kenda tires are probably the poorest choice - even when brand new, let alone 15 yrs old! Search the scores of threads on this site for a complete understanding of why so many of us have moved to CAR tires for better handling...
