• 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.

    2021 Rear Trunk Lock

    After watching the Shawn Smoak video, I checked mine and it didn't lock. As he shows and mentions, the amount of movement needed to correct this is minimal, 1 or 2mm. Barely discernable. I can't imagine having to return to the dealer to have the slots elongated. I'd suggest Drwerner watch the...

    2020 RTL Seat strut barely holds the seat open - ideas?

    I just received my strut from McMaster-Carr. I ordered 9416K14, which is exactly the same dimensions and stroke as the original. I also ordered the 6465K26 eyelet which does indeed open the seat farther. My unscientific digital bathroom scale test indicated 43.7 lbs. to close it. I'm sure that...

    2020 RTL Seat strut barely holds the seat open - ideas?

    Thanks for the info K80. My research had resulted in the same number for the strut from McMaster-Carr. But hadn't thought about the eyelet, as I was going to use the one from the factory strut, but the extra lift will be nice. For those wishing to replace their strut, the ball end comes off...

    2020 RTL Seat strut barely holds the seat open - ideas?

    Thanks to all who replied and suggestions for sources I hadn't thought of. My belt tensioner from Lamonster should arrive in the next couple of days, which will necessitate removing the same panels needed to access the strut and take measurements. If I find a replacement I'll be sure to post the...

    2020 RTL Seat strut barely holds the seat open - ideas?

    Has anyone replaced the gas strut on their '20 or '21 RTL? Mine barely holds the seat open with nothing on it. I have a Butt Buffer and have to take it off everytime I fuel. The original strut was shot when I got home with the Spyder brand new. How the dealership missed this is beyond me, as the...

    Lamonster 2" riser install - how did you get enough slack wiring ?

    Not looking for any credit, but I posted pics of the above subject when I installed ROX risers shortly after purchasing my '20 RTL. Just hoped it would help someone else.

    Anybody using Slingmods Front chin lightbar?

    I installed the AutoFeel lights Doc McCoy used and it absolutely destroyed reception on the radio. Ordered ferrite core chokes to put on the power wire going to the light to no avail. Tried the other light, same result. Research shows this can be a common problem with LED lights. Doc did you...

    Review: Lamonster 2020+ RT Mirror Locks

    As Lamont says in his installation video, "if you're handy, you can make them yourself". So I did. Some aluminum bar stock I had laying around and some metric machine screws and nuts from the hardware store and part of an afternoon when I had nothing else to do. Works like a champ. Vibration...

    2020 RT radio reception

    BigJohn, the antenna simply unscrews. No need to remove any Tupperware. The threaded base is 6mm and goes through a simple ring connector on the antenna wire. After removing the antenna shine a light down the boot and make certain the ring connector is centered in order for the threaded portion...

    Another 2020 RT issue solved!

    This stuff works!!! Went for a ryde yesterday, temp in the mid 80s, after about an hour, I checked the glovebox and it was cool inside. Might trust putting my phone in there now.

    2020 RT radio reception

    I have a picture of the Spyder before it was completely out of the crate. The rear trunk and bags is one assembly, separated from the frame for shipping, but I can't see if the antenna is installed or not.

    2020 RT radio reception

    As has been stated in several other posts, the radio reception on my sucks. My 2015 radio was as good as any 4 wheeled vehicle I own. So today I decided to see if I could get my antenna out and clean off the loctite. After studying and removing panels (sorry, didn't think to take pictures. It's...

    Short reach HB 2020 rt limited

    I posted a thread about installing rox risers on my 2020 RTL with a picture showing the zip tie that must be cut. Basically remove the right speaker grill and find the wiring harness where it comes up in front of the steering column. Kind of a pita to get to but I was able to get a diagonal...

    2020 RT Radio Reception Issue

    Reception on my 2020 RTL isn't near as good as my 2015 was. Don't know if a different antenna would make a difference or not. Am not real happy about it. Guess BRP assumes no one listens to FM anymore.

    2020 RT project

    Rox risers I used part# 1R-P2PPS10K black anodized, with the stock Spyder clamp on my 2020 RT. That brought them up and back just enough to suit me. For more adjustability an F3 top clamp could be used. I started a post with pictures titled Rox risers on 2020 RTL.

    Roadside assistance

    Don't forget the AMA. We should all belong. They have roadside assistance coverage as part of your membership and it covers all your vehicles. Also I'm covered with my insurance. No experience because I've never had to use it. Knock on wood.

    Rox risers on 2020 RTL

    The risers have a cylindrical component that goes where the bars originally went and are held by the clamp. The bars are then clamped by the top part of the riser. Visit roxspeedfx.com for a picture of the risers and it is pretty well self explanatory.

    2020 RTL left side power accessory connector

    One pin in this connector has about 3.5 volts to ground, the other has battery voltage to ground. Proceed with caution. Started looking at the wiring diagram to find out what this connector is for, need to start searching again.

    Rox risers on 2020 RTL

    I may order an F3 clamp also, but am going to see how I like them as they are. Should have mentioned that option in my original post. Thanks for the update and part#.

    Rox risers on 2020 RTL

    They appear to be machined. Definitely not cast. Very well made.
