• 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.

    RoadKrome Sturgis Saddlebags

    Yes they attach where the exhaust does and the brackets included a bolt and collar for the left side to match it. I had these on my GS and the brackets were specific to that model. Not sure if they make an ST bracket yet.

    ST "tank bag" solution?

    I got this Marsee bag with a magnetic mount and used the Kewl Metal Gizmo mount for the RT as a plate to stick it to. Fits great, looks great and you can just pull it off and throw it in the trunk for safe keeping or carry it with you. The top plastic part is waterproof and I put a garage door...

    A Spyder Engineering Comment

    I'm sure the belt can be protected more than it is... But it would be custom as there's not a big market for it. But if someone were to design a real nice shroud that really covered it up good BRP might take notice and just incorporate something like it in future designs. Thanks for the info...

    Scala Rider or SENA

    Uclear. The new HBC200's are wonderful. No mic boom in the face.

    If needed, they send you to a dealership for the steering position reset/re-zero.

    Resizing images

    I find this tool is ridiculously easy for re-sizing images for the web. http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/ You just right click on your image and pick resize and select a size from the menu. Any of the defaults is small enough for use on SpyderLovers. This tool used to come with windows but...

    BRP called me back today about my heat issues.

    Of course I did :) I'm not expecting to hear much from here until spring unless I go out of my way to bug him directly again :)

    BRP called me back today about my heat issues.

    I received a message from ____ at BRP saying he's working on a fix for the heat issues on 2013's and they're looking for people to test it. I didn't fit their needs (I live too far north/cold) so I gave him some recommendations from SpyderLovers. I trust this individual and I believe they are...

    Potential to Make Some Money - Ram Air Scoops

    Very much a matter of high EGT's. (Exhaust gas temps) Hot riders is just a symptom not a problem. EGT's go high when them motor is pushed hard and/or lean. In our case it's happening when cruising on the interstate at 75mph+ in mild weather (70F) and is very noticeable and progresses rapidly...

    Potential to Make Some Money - Ram Air Scoops

    Assuming we know all the changes to the 2014, yes. But we still don't know all the changes made to the 2013's. It's the same motor as the 2012 RT, same exhaust, same intake, same filter, same oil... bigger radiator fan. Obviously none of that gives us any clue to why the EGT's are higher...

    Potential to Make Some Money - Ram Air Scoops

    A few things I can think of: Modifying the exhaust is illegal in many places. Modifying the emissions system is illegal in many places. Modifying the fueling system or engine control systems will invalidate many engine related claims against your warranty. Modifying the cooling system of the...

    I have had enough "spyder loving" from non 2013 owners

    My MC cap melted at the owners event (on the dragon) with 2000 miles on the clock. The BRP tech (won't mention names...) basically said "yep, I told them this would happen..."

    I have had enough "spyder loving" from non 2013 owners

    Exactly how many is a good number of fires to have? 3 out of some 2500 2013's sold? That seems rather high considering it's 3 in less than a year of ownership. At least one of which had less than 1000 miles on it. Hundreds of melted master cylinder caps spraying flammable fluid on hot...

    OEM Rear Tire SHOT at 2,500 miles

    Have you done a 3 wheel alignment? There's been more than a few Spyders that are severely toe-out on one side and toe-in on the other... this results in the bike crabbing down the road in order to go straight, and wears the heck out of your tires (it's called scrubbing.) I would suspect this...
