• 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.

    Cargo volume RT vs F3

    I just recently traded my 2013 RT LTD for a F3T, and I can say that I do miss the storage that the RT had compared to the F3T. I wish I could of kept both, but I just couldn't afford to do that. I do ride solo most of the time, so it's not as much of an issue for me. The problem I have is, I...

    Off the fence

    The red one in my signature was my 1st Spyder which was a 2008 990 GS SM5. I traded that one for the white RT. I do miss that GS. It was one of the 1st year Spyders back in 2008. I regret not keeping it. I had so much fun with it and met many new friends from being involved in several rides back...

    F3T led saddle bag LED's

    I did send Reggy an email regarding this issue and he got back to me about adding the resistors. I sent him my mailing address so the resistors can be sent to me. I wish I could of made to to SpyderQuest this year but due to unforeseen circumstances I wasn't able to attend. Thanks!

    RT and F3-T trailer hitch?

    Now that I have an F3T, I kept my trailer hitch off the RT along with other farkles that I kept when I traded it. I did install the hitch on my F3T, and it fits in place just like I expected it would. When I asked the dealer if it would fit, he told me it is a different part number for the F3T...

    F3T led saddle bag LED's

    I just received some saddle bag LED lights to replace the reflectors that are in place on the two rear compartments. I ordered these from Value accessories and they come from Trick LED. I hooked up everything as the instructions said, and the lights work fine. The problem though is it causes...

    Off the fence

    Yes it is! But then again there is graffiti all over that parking area. I think it's just an act of some youngsters keeping themselves from being bored!

    Off the fence

    I don't do much two up riding, but when I can afford it I plan to get the rear top case with the passenger backrest. Thats big$$$ though, over $1,400.

    Off the fence

    I do like the look of the Matte finish, However I must admit, it is real hard to keep looking clean, dust dirt, finger prints everything shows. I did order some matte cleaners and spray detailers to clean it up with and hope that makes things easier. What you don't want to do is use the same...

    Off the fence

    Well I finally made the decision on selling trading or keeping my 2013 RT LTD. It's been a good spyder for me and I have had no real complaints with it. However I fell off the fence and into the F3 pasture! It was kind of a bitter sweet decision, because I really wanted to keep the RT, but...

    Would You Go Back?

    As much as I like two wheels, it wouldn't be a good idea for me. Since I've had my last back surgery, my (shifting foot) has nerve damage which doesn't give me the strength to upshift very well. I had this issue with my 2008 spyder GS SM5 and mis-shifted several times. That is when I decided to...

    Demo rode an F3T

    I was at my dealer last week when I was on vacation and had a chance to talk for a while with the owner about the F3. He let me take a 2016 F3T out for a demo ride. I rode it for about 30 miles and had some fun with it. 1st, I really like the 1330 and it's quick acceleration. The riding position...

    2017 Line Up - ST Benched?

    I'm not convinced yet that they will not still offer the RSS for 2017. If you look at the BRP web site, It introduces the latest 2017 early release models. I could be wrong, but I don't think they are showing the complete lineup yet. I've always liked my 2008 GS when I owned it. The 990 is a...

    Trailer Insurance Question???

    I have a RT622 trailer and I had it covered under my MC policy as an accessory. There was no classification for the trailer only. I just had to increase my coverage to include the trailer. It didn't really raise the premium all that much. I believe I'm covered for about $5000 or so for...

    2013 RT rear brake pad replacement

    What else is there to do on this rainy day! I went in the garage and replaced the rear brake pads on my RT. A big THANKS goes to the advise above! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and all went very well. Boy, I'm glad that I changed those out. One side was just about worn to the metal...

    2013 RT rear brake pad replacement

    I'm in the process of replacing my rear brake pads on my 2013 RT. I've never done this before and will attempt to do this service myself. However I do have some questions and concerns. Is there anything that I should know, or do as far as adjustments once the brake pads are replaced? Will this...

    front fender shaking

    That was my thought. I had a similar issue on the right side fender. I could move it by hand when I checked it and turns out I had some worn bushings in the A-Arm.

    how long does your dealer take, with service work?

    I just had the throttle bodies serviced at my dealer and had to wait at least a week for my appointment. The work that I had done was done the same day of the appointment. While I had it there I just told them to replace the plugs and air filter while they had everything apart and also included...

    Motorcycle mini camper

    At this time when I go camping with the spyder, I just load the RT 622 trailer with everything that I need and that works fine for me. The little Guys just caught my attention and was just curious about them. I do agree that they may exceed the weight limitations of the spyder.
