• 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.

    What power outlet & fuse do you use for heated clothing?

    Check with Lamonster. I think he has a 12v socket with mount. Best to run the heat thru a relay back to the battery.

    Is there a kit to lower the RT driver seat like the F3 seat?

    :dontknow: If you need 'sporty' re-think the F3 line. You can farkle it to 'up-scale' some missing features.

    Zumo XT stopped working - anyone else had this problem? Will Garmin repair?

    Garmin support is very good. I had a 590 go bad and they replaced it with a refurbished 595 at no cost. The 595 software had a bug that crashed the system when trying to access 'what's ahead' function. I reported it and they patched within 2 days. Hard to find fault with them and I spent my...

    Front Pulley Failure! Incredibly Poor Dealer Response!

    There are good and bad mechanics that work for dealers AND private shops. IF you are lucky and find 'that' guy who you believe to be an expert on your model, tip him/her well and be sure the shop doesn't assign the work to a less-qualified grunt.

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    As stated in post #22 ,without adding a lot of weight to the rear end, the rear tire will spin in snow (or any slick surface) regardless of the tread pattern. Studded tire will help with the snow a little but good luck! I see the Canyon as an alternative 'look' rather than an 'adventure' machine.

    Quick trip to Eastern Tenn - Have any recommendations on roads to ride?

    Ohio's Triple Nickel (OH555) is a fun road if you can work it into your trip. The Rattler and Blue Ridge Parkway may be too far east but worth the ride.

    Need more Rider room - can I modify the pillion seat on RT, 2024?

    You may want to try an air cushion (Airhawk, Wilda$$) to relieve your pain. It works for me and a typical day in the saddle for me is 6-8 hours.

    How likely are Gang encounters on the road?

    I've been riding since 1963 and have traversed the USA a couple times. All told, ~250k miles and have never had an encounter with 'gangs' or or threats (beyond the obvious morons that sit in cages and read texts). I live in NJ and know not to travel thru certain cities.

    Any helpful tips for installing a Lamonster Belt damper on a 2022 RT?

    Lamonster's damper wears very well. I think they claim a life of 15k but I changed the roller after 20k with no issues. Getting to the roller takes removing all the plastic on the left side. Not difficult but can be tedious.

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    2020 RT 36,000 miles of hard riding. 1 problem - flakey brake light switch that I replaced. RT hasn't seen the dealer since purchase in '20.

    Any issues with using Slingmods 12V cell phone/GPS docking station like this?

    Your heated gear needs more amperage. You need to run the heat through a relay and get the power from the battery, not accessory line. Use the accessory wire to trigger the relay. Also, if you want to maintain the battery level, you need the tender to go direct to the battery. No issue running...

    Is Lamonster Windshield Cleaner still available? What else won't hurt the windshield?

    I've been using Plexus on all my shields and windscreens forever and never had a problem. Pricy but excellent.

    Need to modify driver's seat on 2023 RTL - anyone made theirs comfortable?

    I use an air cushion (Airhawk or Wildass). Works great for my long days in the saddle and costs 5 times less than a custom seat that may or may not solve your problem.

    Bright Headlights Daytime Yes or No

    I run the high beams AND DRLs daytime. If it was legal, I'd mount a flashing bar and siren! Nights I run high unless on-coming traffic. Face it folks. They're all out to get us!!

    What should I look for in a mesh jacket? Any Pros & Cons?

    Lots of good mesh jackets so like helmets, you should try before buy. Keep in mind that a mesh jacket lets the outside air blow directly onto your body. Works great while moving or until temps reach hair dryer levels and you have hot air blowing on you. IMHO stripping down is worse with the...

    Anyone have an idea about why my Tail-Lights are Staying on?

    Very likely the brake switch. You may also experience the nanny butting in due to the dirty contacts. Mine made & broke contact a few times thru the full stroke of the switch and randomly woke the nanny. You can test by very slowly pressing foot pedal and watching the brake lights flicker.
