• 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.

    Lamont, keep this site going. I read it daily and learn things about Spyders and the thoughts of others. I don't do Face Book for the reasons posted above..... I hope you and others will be in Boerne, TX again for the Spyders in the Hills rally this October. :spyder2:

    Oil what a concept BUT !

    BRP says to use their oil. Why? Because they and the dealer make money on BRP oil. I use my own Amsoil and the dealer installs it for me. Why? Because I want to. I change my my oil/filter every 10,000 miles on all my vehicles and never had an oil related problem. Hey, everyone here has an...

    BRP Comfort Seat

    I had a BRP comfort seat on my 2014 RT-L and it was better than the OEM. The additional length was better as I am tall. My wife does not ride any more so when I got my 2017 RT-S (wrecked the '14) two months ago, I got the back rest for the OEM seat to see how it went. Is is okay but I may get...

    Fuel

    I have always used regular in my three Spyders and two Gold Wings. I can't tell any difference other than .30+ a gallon. :spyder2:

    Amsoil 10w-40 metric oil - what do you think?

    I have used Amsoil in my 2 Gold Wings and 3 Spyders. My dealer changes my oil and filters and uses my oil. They never said a word about Amsoil. I am 85 and do as I please. If anyone does not like what I do, they can meet me at the flag pole at high noon! :yes: :clap: :roflblack: :spyder2:

    Battery

    I buy my batteries from Wal Mart, for my cars, truck, tractor, GW and Spyder. Are they the best.....I doubt it but I change out every three years, needed or not. I don't want to be caught with a bad battery. Never have battery problems. I use a Deltron Battery Tender on the Spyder and GW...

    Heat in the "cockpit"

    ​"If I do, I don't notice it." When I said this earlier about the heat on Mr. White, I meant that living in South Texas, I expect it to be hot....engine and private parts. Ya gotta live with it around here. This Saturday when my group (The Hill Country Road Riders) heads out for breakfast...

    Spyder crash

    Make sure your dealer checks the "sub frame"....it is easily damaged and seldom checked. Lots of plastic must be removed to be done properly. :spyder2:

    Heat in the "cockpit"

    Gentlemen, I am confused. I bought a 2017 RT a month ago and ride him often. I rode yesterday in south Texas and it was in the high 90s. I have not noticed any heat coming up around the seat, dash, etc. other than normal engine heat. I had no noticeable heat from my '14 RT-L either. I do...

    Anyone have info on $4500 rebate?

    I wrecked my 2014 RT Ltd and went to the dealer to see what was available. Mr. White was sitting there along with 2018s. The difference out the door price between my 2017 RT-S and a 2018 RT Ltd was over $5,000+. The running gear on the 17 is the same as my/your 14.....keep it....the 18s are a...

    2018 RT CB Radio

    My local Spyder tech said the 2018 RTs do not have CB (CanAM) capability as BRP does not offer a harness that supports a CB as they did on 2017s and earlier. He may be wrong, but.....? The 2017 harness does not fit the 2018 which was changed. FYI I have a CB on my 2002 Gold Wing and it is...

    A BAD ACCIDENT

    In September 2001, I was 1/2 mile from the house coming from a Saturday breakfast ride with my long time riding group. (we started riding together in 1994 and I still ride with many of the original members) I stopped at a light to make a left turn and BAM!! A 21YO rear ended my '95 Gold Wing...

    A BAD ACCIDENT

    Yesterday afternoon a driver rear ended two Harley Davidson Trikes just outside of San Antonio. I know no details other than the TV coverage but it severely damaged both trikes. The riders were not killed but badly injured. No word on whether the driver was drinking.....but hitting two...
