• 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.

    What's the recommended Belt Tension?

    I added LaM idler kit and it so far has completely taken care of the issue. However I am under the impression that this is sort of a can of worms for some or most that never goes away. Seems to go along with owning a Spyder

    Heli bars on 2020 RT

    What I would like to point out and no one has mentioned is what in the hell was BRP thinking putting these bars on the RT or RTL Anyway. Why oh why must we have to do this. And IF it was just one person or even a few it wouldn’t matter but many if not about all owners find these bars...

    Anyone know the size (length) of Short reach handlebars?

    FYI I know this is not the answer to your question but I installed them on my 2020 rtl and it was a game changer for me. I have short arms and I couldn't ride 20mi before the pain between my shoulders got so bad it was difficult to continue. Now I have ridden 500 mi day and could have went...

    2020 Spyder Rt Passenger Heated Seat stops working after 5 mins?! Ideas?

    What I am finding is my driver seat heat seems to shut off but then the next thing I feel it getting hot again. What could be going on is after it first reaches temp it shuts down and lets it cool off a bit too much then clicks back on and starts this cycle over again. This is what I am finding...

    2020 RT Belt Tensioner

    LaMomster has what you need. I installed one on my 2020 RTL and it solved the problem. The reason you want his kit is because it uses the factory arm BUT with his improved roller. Read a few of the post here on this thread!

    2019 vs 2020 RT handlebar position

    Well I did my bars on my 2020 RTL and yes it wasn't all that difficult but I beg to differ about 10 minutes and a kindergartner. It took me longer than that to get into the bundle on wire coiled up to have enough to complete the job. Also it would be easy to scratch the center area etc. I...

    Windshield question - why return to lowest position when turned off?

    On my 2020 rtl if I hold up direction on the windshield button it stops it from going back down at shut off. I do this mainly when I want to clean or polish the backside of the screen.

    Any suggestions on where to tap the tail light wires on a 2020 RT?

    My question is can we add lights and hence load to the circuit with this Canbus system? I would like to add a l.e.d. Flashing stop light but am afraid to do this.

    Can’t get 2020 oil dip stick to release

    Since I am the OP I guess I choose the wrong termalogy I know it doesn’t screw but was just trying to bring attention to this issue. And yes yesterday after getting it removed (note I didn’t say unscrewed) I did coat the inside cap of the dipstick with some motor oil. Poor engineering I have...

    Can’t get 2020 oil dip stick to release

    Both mine and friend down the road with 2020 RT-L can’t get them to unscrew. Finally today (friend is scared to do this) I got a pair of Channel Locks on the cap and got it out. Yes we are pushing down before twisting even today at a breakfast meet 3 Spyder owners tried. Question is are others...

    2020 RT Limited first service

    I would be finding another shop or start doing my own work. These labor rates are getting out of hand especially when many times the work is being done by a $12-15 hr tech

    Mirror shake on 2020 RT & Squared Away

    I must have got lucky I got my kit from Lamonster Wed, installed them that day and this weekend rode 750 mi and everything is perfect. Also got an idler pulley kit yet to install but was getting some vibration on the interstate 72-78. Need to get to my dealer I am a little late on my 3000 mi...

    2020RT FM radio on working in garage

    I love the features of this unit with the USB stick input. My question is how do you select the songs you wish to play from the USB. BTW they have a newer model now listed with micro SD card input as well as radio for $30 bucks. How can you beat this let me know about the control of USB song...

    How to Mod 2020RT riding position to be closer to F3- any ideas?

    I had pain other places, neck and between the shoulders but the F3 short reach factory bar and factory backrest was a total game changer for me. Now just perfect for me and I am sure I can ride 500 + miles a day. Not many years ago I did 1000 mile days on Gold Wings so am confident at age 76 500...

    What have you done for Heated Gear Wiring, inc Location - '20+ RT's?

    I ran from the battery up into the glove box. I won't be riding dual in the cold weather and I just leave the glove box unsnapped while using the 12v cord. Seemed easy to do for me I might at some point change it but it seems fine for Doug just the way it is. Not fancy but gets it done and I...

    Aux input for audio system

    I was disappointed after I bought my 2020 RTL because it won't accept a USB stick. So what I did was buy a 32G mico card for my Android phone and just copy my music from the stick to the card. I have over 10,000 music files and still had plenty of room to move over what I had in the original 2g...
