• 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.

    Any thoughts on Ground clearance on the RTL?

    It's Not called 'dark side' on Spyders, cause Spyder rims are J style rims, and car tires are J style beads. So they are a proper fit. Kenda tires are labeled "for special motorcycle use only" cause of their cheaper construction to NOT hold weight of a car!

    What kind of milage should I expect from a Vredestein rear tire?

    I think the odd groove styling on the Vdestrian, makes people think those grooves should criss cross. They don't, appearing to make center area look worn out. Do the Lincoln head penny trick, if you don't have a tire depth gauge

    Damaged a Rim on my F3L when we hit about a 4" rock that slid off of a rock wall by the road - afraid to ask what a new rim will cost!?!

    May need to look at "A" arm too for that side that rim got bent. After a new rim and tire, take it to a place that does Rolo Laser alignments to check it. Might be OK as is, or a bit out of alignment

    Is the Radio Reception on 2024 Spyder RT Limited's any good?

    Since you already have a Sirius XM account, I think all you have to do is download the XM app to your smartphone. I play from my phone to my helmet headset. They have changed their plans to include smartphone playing at no additional cost. You would use your login to XM (username and password)...

    Anyone have any good Headlight upgrade suggestions?

    I got my LED's for my 2015 RTL from Lamonster. He has an install vid, and the little box fits inside housing with just a little adjustment with a Dremel. Guaranteed fit when you go with approved vendor.

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    The OEM valve stem is always on the sprocket side, unless you plug the OEM hole and drill a new hole in the brake side. The rim is NOT switchable, the tire has to be installed directional to start with. You can index the sprocket to get a space in between the spokes, I think there are 3...

    Is the Radio Reception on 2024 Spyder RT Limited's any good?

    I have Sirrus XM in the car and on my smart phone. These 2 streaming services used to be separate or you could add them together. But now they are together. If riding with your phone, it would use phone data. They might still have the small streaming unit. You can find info @ sirrusxm.com

    Can anyone with a Big Blue Lift provide advice on my lifting issues?

    searching "big blue" get 10 pages of comment. Some posts talk about removing right floorboard, of bolting to lift to frame, and an adapter on the lift to lift a RT.

    Looking at a 2020 Spyder - is this high mileage? Any thoughts?

    That's a real good price for only 5 yrs old. Could it be a Spyder base? That would be no top case, instead of RTL? Miles not problem, but ask does it throw any codes consistently, any recalls done? Take the VIN to a dealer to run and see if anything pops up.

    2025 Trip Planning - Maine Mostly

    I went up to Maine in 2017. Some things I did..... Madawaska, even tho you're not doing a 4 Corners Ride, there is a 4 Corners Park there. If you're interested about covered bridges like I was, you can cross into Canada to see longest covered bridge in world in Hartland. It's just over the USA...

    General Safety Recall - is the onus on servicing dealer to notify &/or perform the necessary work?

    I can tell you what I experienced. Taking the Spyder in for a NC safety inspection, I just wanted to do the inspection at that time. They informed me of the front pulley recall that I was aware of, but didn't really have time to do the recall of pulley. So since they brought it up, I just had...

    I Am Amazed no one has mentioned the 'New Look' site!

    It's a different software program similar but not the same as old. Have to meander around to get used to it. It came in phases as I was trying to login. Thought website was hacked at first

    '23 S2S Limp Mode and More after 2 months storage - any ideas?

    Thats odd. Just had a guy username Johnboy74 found out his warranty was wacky. BRP told him Spyder was first sold to non-USA country first, then him. I need to look again and see if yours and his post are in Washington... Looked it up, his home state is Arizona, so I doubt he bought from your...
