• 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.

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    You may have been influenced by a stupid online video. There was one where a rider ran in reverse fast and turned the wheels hard, and it did flip onto its side. Stupid, of course you can do that and trigger an uncommon event. But with the "nanny", you have all 3 wheels monitored for speed, and...

    Do I really need to Change O-Rings at Every Oil Change? Do you?

    I don't. Just changed them once in 50,000 miles. Just inspect them, look for any cuts, oil sludge build up. Watch taking them off over the threads. some have wrapped threads with blue tape I think. They do have important jobs keeping channels separate. They are a stepped drain bolt

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    Have been on ferries a few times. The attack angle is not as steep as loading on a trailer, unless its a tilt trailer, or another that has a long ramp situation

    2015 ST Ltd: Where does your rear caliper lie?

    The rear caliper is BELOW the swingarm. Or something like 4-6 position. Without some pics, it's hard to tell what happened. That sub plate can easily see if can be put on backwards. Don't know if it would even fit. It has to go thru axle hole, then I think 2 bolts line up somewhere. EDIT: been...

    2015 RT SE6 wants to keep going when stopped in gear, forward or reverse - any ideas? Anyone else?

    When stopped the clutch will disengage, allowing bike to slowly move forward or backward depending on incline. You will need to keep foot on brake. When the revs pick up to move clutch fully engages, then you go. Even tho the display doesn't show neutral (E), 1st gear is NOT a lock for the bike...

    F3-S pulls to the right - could the sway bar install have done this? Is it easy to re-align myself?

    There is a handlebar angle sensor in the system. So it can't be more out of line than before, or you would get a code. If you were to adjust toe in/out, it could throw that off, and need BUDS to reset the sensor. Adjusting toe in/out needs to be done with a laser. A better sway bar must just...

    What is the Correct Garmin for my '16 RT Ltd?

    well, your dealer is a little off. 2016 has a Garmin 660, looked on the BRP spec sheet. The mounts are different. I have the 590 on my 2015. Have to switch one or the other, so keeping mount and finding a 660 is the best

    Can anyone post a pic of the Seat Latch Lug on a 2022 Spyder RT?

    That pin only holds the seat in place on the front side and you have to have the key to open it. It shouldn't have anything to do with seat heating. What you need is the "plug" to attach the wiring harness to. If you DON'T have the plug coming from seat you DON'T have a heated seat option...

    Stupid is as stupid does!

    I saw a little video clip about this story. They were in a boat, drinking alcohol, and firing blanks with other boats/people around to video this.

    Any Chicago area dealers who will mount car tire?

    What the dealership REALLY means is, you're not buying a tire from us, so just mounting a tire you bring in, is NOT enough money to make for the time. Some dealerships mount them, are they taking the liability? NO. The fronts, if you take them off, I had Walmart install and spin balance them...

    Fitted EBC Rotors and Pads, now it has a pulsing feeling when slowing down under a light pedal!

    They say what you need to do is to ride, then do a few/multiple quick stops to bed them in. They might NOT be fully contacting the full pad.

    Trip, Maine to Yellowstone

    Agreed... I stayed in Jackson Hole for 4 nights as I visited Yellowstone. Most hotels/motels or places to stay as such were $300/$400 a night.

    2011 RT - Checking coolant level. What is the best procedure to remove the plastic rivet holding the right service cover ?

    They make push pin pullers. I don't have any, just use a thin flat blade screwdriver

    Need Help in North Las Vegas Nevada replacing battery (Not Urgent... Sometime in Next 2 Weeks)

    Hi Rick, I thought you already sold it!! Sorry to hear about the bladder problem, but that's amazing you can be part of a study to help you get better. I don't think I would even try to make that battery better!! Spyder's are power hungry, and a one time start could lead to problems when you...

    My Ryker 900 always leaks at the oil filter cap - what's going on?

    Nobody has mentioned this yet. Even the Ryker is a dry sump engine, like the Spyder. Do not check the oil level cold, or you will overfill. I see you're a member since 2018, should have seen by now proper way to fill and check the oil level after running, then shut off, then check. There has...
