• 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.

    2016 RT Wiring diagram for analog gauges

    Thanks. I'll open up the dash again and see if the 2015 wiring for the gauges is the same as the 2016. It was so much easier to tap them on the ol' 2011, three wires on the plug and a separate wire for the light.

    2016 RT Wiring diagram for analog gauges

    Quick Request. I had a 2011 RT and I removed both analog gauges and replaced them with USB port and voltmeter. The wires to the gauges were simple individual wires to a plug. It was easy to tap them or add a pin to go into the plug. I now have a 2016 RT-S and the wiring is some kind of...

    BRP Driver backrest install

    I'll try to add a picture when I get home but.... No, you do not need to remove the driver seat. On my 2016 RT, the bracket holes are molded into the bottom of the seat and all I needed to do was align the bracket and insert the screws. Then remove the insert on the top of the seat where the...

    2016 RT-S and the BajaRon

    Thank you all for your comments. Although, it's not as essential as on the 998 someone commented, I think I'll add it to my new RT. On the 998, it made it rock solid going down the road. I still notice some leaning in the corners and at expressway speeds in a cross breeze, especially 2-up...

    2016 RT-S and the BajaRon

    Quick questions: I had a 2011 RT and I added the BajaRon bar and it made a big difference. I now have a 2016 RT-S with the stock bar and about 1500 miles on the clock. Does the BajaRon bar make as big an improvement on the 2016 as it does on the older RTs? Is it worth the investment now.We do...

    What Device for Music?

    I have an 2016 RT-S with the USB cable in the trunk and BT dongle in the frunk. I use an iPod 5gen and run it through the Spyder. That way I can see what's playing and change playlists vs. doing Bluetooth direct to the helmet. Got the iPod on ebay cheap.

    Info on Sena smh10-10 Blue tooth intercom

    I believe there is a shield you can snap on the mic's front side to cut down on some of the wind noise.It's been awhile since we installed ours.

    Info on Sena smh10-10 Blue tooth intercom

    The wife and I have been running SMH_10 headsets for several years. We have used them as driver/passenger and as two drivers separate bikes. We have had no real problems either way but there is some wind noise, mainly 2 up when she has the face shield up. No other issues.

    Pacemaker

    Glad to hear you are doing better. I got out of breath climbing the stairs one weekend. Put off the doctors visit for a few days. Turned out I had clots in both lungs. Glad you listened to your body and got help right away.

    TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

    Best of luck with the surgery. A friend had his hip done and the next day he drove his truck over to get the pain pills. Not really recommended but it shows how fast some recover. Oh, and take it easy for the first few days until the internal anesthesia they use in the wound wears off or it...

    need insight from any knee replacement riders.

    I had my right knee done in Feb 2016. What everyone else said. Do the PT, use a lot of ice, etc. I rode the Spyder a short distance after 2 weeks, was able to drive my small car in three, and back to work in four. Biggest problem was getting the knee to bend enough for each vehicle. That took a...

    Need Help to get OEM Antenna Off for replacement!

    The 7mm socket and visegrips worked great on my 2011RT. Now that I have a 2016 RT, the base of the antenna is rubber and twists without unscrewing the bolt. It seems to have a lot of blue locktite. I received one of those shortees from Spyderpops for Christmas. Any ideas on how to get this one...

    Broken anntenna

    I want to replace the antenna on a 2016 RT. It looks like the 7mm socket wont work since the base is different than on my 2011 model. Do I just grab the rubber base with pliers and twist?? Thanks for the assist.

    Seat won't release!!!!

    I just replaced the seat shock with the 40# one also. I noticed that my seat does not pop up all the way, that post gets caught on the edge of the hole and only moves a little. The OP should try pushing down on the seat, turn the key and hold it while he moves the seat around left/right/back...

    How much room is lost?

    I had the comfort seat with no driver backrest on a 2011 RT. One up, the extra space was good for me and my knees. When the wife was on the back, she was comfortable on the seat but I had to scoot forward about that 2" for her to have the needed room which was uncomfortable for me, so we went...
