• 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.

    Tire Air Pressure Gauge

    I use this one as well. Works great on the rear tire.

    Question about DPS and Limp Mode Home

    No, he did not. And shame on me for not asking that question. I think I may have the battery replaced at my next service appointment. It has been over 3 years.

    Question about DPS and Limp Mode Home

    I did take it to the dealer right after 2 of the faults. They said no codes showed up. Just an apparent glitch.

    Question about DPS and Limp Mode Home

    I am still running the original battery. Dealer tested it recently and said it still has plenty of juice.

    Question about DPS and Limp Mode Home

    I have a 2012 RT. I had my first issue at 2000 miles. Turned out it was just a computer glitch. No codes thrown. No problems until 20,000 miles. Another computer glitch. At 22,000 miles, several codes popped up, alerting me of a couple of bad sensors, which were replaced under warranty. Since...

    Air Hawk Seat

    I have an Airhawk R Medium, and love it. No way could I do longer trips without it. Medium size for the driver and Small Pillion for the passenger.

    Check Engine ; DPS Fail

    UPDATE ---- Took the RT into the dealer today. Hooked it up to BUDS and found a faulty gear position sensor and steering sensor. Dealer said they could reset them, but no guarantee that it would fix the problem. Or he could replace them both. Since I purchased my BEST extended warranty, it was...

    Check Engine ; DPS Fail

    Thanks for the comments. I had the inspection done 2 weeks ago. At the time, I had the battery checked. Dealer noticed battery cable connections were loose. Those got tightened. Surely they didn't mess with anything else. Either way, I'll take it to the dealer later in the week to be hooked...

    That's actually the first thing I checked. Oil level was fine.

    Check Engine ; DPS Fail

    Went out for a nice ryde yesterday, only to have it interrupted 3 times by the check engine light. I drive a 2012 RT SM5. The first time it happened, check engine orange light comes on the screen. Never went into limp mode, but the gear indicator said E. That's never happened before. I didn't...

    Trading up ( maybe)

    Did the rear tire issue get fixed? Or are most people still changing that rear out every 10,000 miles?

    Almost a new Spyder owner

    No problems........ I have a 2012 RT. I pull a fully loaded trailer and a passenger up the mountains, and mine doesn't miss a beat. I could not imagine how that 1330 feels. You'll have no problems at all.

    Spyder seat covers - Sheep Skin

    Same here. Purchased my sheepskin cover a few months ago. Plenty of plushness to keep from sliding. Cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. It will be one of the best purchases you'll make.

    What is the secret.......

    To getting better gas mileage? Looks like I'm getting around 29-30 MPG. Granted I ryde 2-up the majority of the time. I use 89 mid-grade gas. I tried 93 octane but didn't get any better. Have not tried ethylene-free gas yet. Now have over 18,000 miles on this RT, so it should be broken in...

    Run out of Fuel

    Was ryding yesterday. Didn't get gas when I got down to 2 bars. Stupid me!!! And I left my trusty gas can at home. :gaah: Last light went out with 144 miles on the tank. Went 13 more miles and finally see a gas station. I was sweating it! Thought it would take close to 6 gallons, but topped...

    Trailers

    It's not up to the trailer manufacturer to get you the plates. You have to go to the DMV to get that done. As for the max speed, I don't know exactly. But I've had my Escape trailer up to 90 MPH with no issues.

    Trailers

    I might be wrong, but I think the only thing that voids the warranty is if you don't have the BRP hitch. The trailer itself doesn't void the warranty.

    Trailers

    I purchased my Escape trailer from the shop in Greenville, SC back in February. Absolutely no issues in the few long trips I have made. Very well built and lots of room. If you run out of room inside, you can easily strap stuff to the top. The owner, Danny, met me there on a Saturday, on his...

    Limp Mode - New 2012

    Sounds like a similar situation to when my 2012 RT went into Limp Mode. Happened at 2000 miles. I now have over 17,000 miles, and it hasn't come on again. Just the Nanny telling you hello. Shouldn't have any additional problems. Just make sure to tell your dealer when you take it in for...
