• 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.

    Detroit

    Trip to New York I went through Detroit at about midnight many years ago, i was so tired i drove through the border checkpoint. Don't do that, they really get stirred up. If i did it again i think the Sarnia I-94 crossing may be better, unless you want to go through Detroit. Boldt Castle is...

    Spyders in the Redwoods - After Action Report

    Thank you very much Ann and Joe I did not make an appointment because I had to be back at work on Wednesday, but Ann and Joe were kind enough to do an alignment on my 2013 RT late Monday afternoon at Eureka. My Spyder was over an inch out on one side and the other was not quite that bad, but...

    seat tearing

    Tearing seat I have a 2013 RT and the same thing happened at the front of the seat. i took it in the first week of July. The dealer took a picture of it and turned it in to BRP who replaced it no charge. From the time i took it in to the time they replaced it took about two weeks, they let me...

    No special reason, apparently some in the past cracked, i was wondering how thick these tanks are, and someone may have cut one up.

    Threw out the cat

    Exhaust sounds with cat bypass I put a short video on YouTube for the new revised exhaust system with the cat bypass. Kinda likes to clear its throat a little, just as long as it doesn't spit on the sidewalk. The address is: With the advice of counsel, I will keep the catalytic convertor just...

    Threw out the cat

    I jacked up the Spyder, put the jack stands in place, and removed and replaced the catalytic convertor with the bypass from Pitbull. I did find that the clamp on the right header and the catalytic convertor was very loose, but the slipjoint did not show any deterioration. Probably with only...

    coolant overflow tank wall thickness and capacity

    Does anyone have a picture or information on how thick the coolant tank wall is? I wonder because i would like to know its capacity and i would appreciate it if anyone knows. I can't tell how much it holds between the lower mark and the hot level. I have a 2013 RTby the way. Thanks a lot.

    Cure for scruffy bottom

    We rode our 2013RT a few weeks ago on a country road and I got off the side a little. I am including the picture of the original skid plate, I am pretty sure it will not take much more of that abuse. I bought and installed one of Spyderpops skid plates. Being as thick and much more extensive...

    New guy with a 13 rt-s What problems have you guys had with your 13's

    We have a 2013 RT Welcome and congratulations, the Spyder is unique and so far for us, quite dependable. The most recent service bulletin that changed fuel mix made it run a little cooler. That service bulletin also waterproofed the fuse box so it is a good thing to do if it was not completed...

    New member with a question

    New Member Question about swaybar Welcome to the group, the Spyder is a lot of fun to ryde, different than a two wheeler. I put the stiffer swaybar on my 2013 RT because it reduces body roll on sweeping highway curves, that seems to make those big curves more comfortable, especially with a...

    ? about Sena

    Sena SMH10 I got the Sena SMH 10 as a present for Christmas. I also happen to have the identical helmet in the video, a Scorpion modular. On that helmet the Sena clamp worked fine on the helmet. The boom mike will swing in and slightly under the chin when the helmet is closed. There is some...

    Lava Bronze Club (The Brown Bunch Crew)

    Lave Bronze Club(Brown Party) I too am a proud member of the Lava Bronze Club, we thought it was an elegant color, especially with the tan seat. Being a 2013 RT and with the heat issues some have had, maybe this color would be more appropriate to be called Toast.

    Whos NOT upgrading to 2014 ?

    Sticking with the 2013 RT We are sticking with the 2013, i am installing the BajaRon swaybar and wrapping the headers with thermotape, I believe that takes care of the two concerns i have right now. We have plans for ryding to SoCal later in the winter, or the desert, so that will give us some...

    Adventure in wrapping exhaust pipes!

    Can the solution to the heat problem be this simple? This looks great, how long did it take you and did you have to get gaskets ahead of time when you reinstalled? How much is the thermal tape? What was the outdoor temperature like there today? Where i live we have a month over 100 degrees...
