• 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.

    Shimmying

    Nothing through the bars. The RT seems very solid and tracks well. No issues on the highway. I just see the plastic shaking (shimmying) a bit. That's why I wanted to see if this was normal. It happens on pretty smooth roads. Not being used to a three-wheeler, I don't know if this is just a...

    Shimmying

    No wandering. If I were to guess, it seems like the tires could be off balance just enough to cause this. Not enough to cause any handling issues, but enough to make the plastic up front from the console and windshield to shimmy a little.

    Shimmying

    Has anyone else noticed or experienced the RT's plastic (console/windshield) shimmying going down the road? Is this just the normal nature of the RT due to having two wheels up front?

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    Being that the bolt is underneath the RT, and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, I tried both metric and SAE allen wrenches, but they wouldn't fit. I can also say that the other drain plug is definitely a T45, so it wouldn't make sense to me that they would make one an allen, and the...

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    Yeah, the T40 fits, but it does twist a bit in the drain plug. I wasn't very happy about that. The upside is that the T45 fits perfectly in the other drain plug with no twist.

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    I didn't even have one drip on the floor. However, the clearance between the bottom of the RT and the floor is not ideal, so it was very difficult to accomplish. My thinking is that next time I will drive the front end of the RT onto my vehicle ramps, then lift the rear to be the same height...

    Lamonster 1330 RTS Project begins!

    The brushed metal pieces wrapped in CF looks great Lamont! If you don't mind my asking, what did it run you to have that done, or what price range should I expect to see when shopping to have that done? I was also interested in a shorty windshield (less drag/looks better/more air). Which one...

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    Yes, the mirror has to be removed in order to take off the main side panel. If this scares you and you want to do your own service, I suggest you go out to your garage and pop the mirror off right now. It is very simple to do it, and while hitting your Spyder may seem wrong, hitting the mirror...

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    Yes, there are two o-rings and a washer that will need to be replaced on the engine drain plug (I had listed those parts in the list at the beginning of my first post). I didn't bother taking a picture of the plug. The plastic that will need to be removed is the main right side cover (BRP...

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    I wasn't able to find a kit either. That's why I listed all of the part numbers; so you can put them on your smart phone and take it in to the dealership and just rattle off the part numbers to the parts guy. It makes it a lot quicker than having the parts guy/gal look them up.

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    You simply pull it out with your fingers. It is simple to do and if you had let the oil drain for about an hour, the filter is not covered in oil, so it isn't messy at all.

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    I don't know what tools are included with the Spyder, as I don't use those tools as my main tools. I haven't had the chance to get around to opening that bag to see what is in there. However, most people will not generally have a 36mm socket, or the T40 & T45 Torx bits. I had the T40 and T45...

    2014 Rts major oil leak

    Intolerance Sometimes you meet someone in person and they seem very nice, but sometimes those same people have an alter-ego that likes to get online and post messages which are only designed to cause anger and stress the relationship of the group. Chances are, if you knew this person outside...

    2014 Spyder RT Oil Change

    Well I decided to do my first oil change on my Spyder RT-S tonight. Even though the process is somewhat documented in the Operator's Guide, I find it a bit difficult to follow. That, combined with the fact you will need several parts to complete the job, I thought I would document the...

    2014 RT mods

    Jim, Thanks for the information. My analysis of the front stock shocks on the RT is exactly the same as yours. My only resolution to the issue at this point without spending any money is to stay off of roads with small bumps; which ends up keeping me of the very roads I want to drive the RT...

    What a mess!

    The official fix to the problem is to not ride the RT.... Seriously though, I believe there are waxes and such that claim to greatly reduce the amount of dust and dirt that cling to the surface, but I've never tried them. I do not believe any of these products can truly overcome the physics...

    starting up the spyder

    Richie, I don't know if this is your first BRP Machine or not, but while this is my first Spyder, I had a 2004 DS650 (Single Cylinder) Bombardier. My 2014 RT-S cranks slow, just the same as my DS650 did. In fact, when cranking the motor, they sound exactly the same. I wouldn't say there is...
