• 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.

    Is A Extended Warranty A Worthwhile Buy?

    I look at extended warranties as insurance. I pay a fee to the company betting them that I will need them to spend more than the warranty fee over some period of time. They take my money betting me that they won't need to give any of it back. Investment- I don't think so. Insurance-maybe...

    Its official: BajaRon's swaybar is a MUST have for all RT owners!

    I just finished the installation of my Baja Ron anti sway bar on my 2012 RT. As others have said, it took about an hour. The instructions with the bar and info/photos on this site make it a very easy project. The frunk was loosened but not removed as suggested. After a short (30 mile) ride on...

    Another Elka Believer

    Today I installed a set of Elkas on the front of my 2012 RT-Ltd. I can pretty much agree with all the great things said on Spyderlovers about the change. Although, I was only able to do about a 100 mile test ride over varying conditions, the change is noticeable and I am very happy I spent the...

    Firstgear Cold Weather - Themo Suit Sale!

    Thanks Ron. I just got my suit. Shipping was as quick as I've seen and it is a great suit at a great price. A very happy camper here. Fit was exactly as Ron suggested. Now for that RT anti-sway bar (no matter what the color).

    I know , I know, this is old news (Hand Brake lever)

    I agree with Scotty. I reached for the handbrake for awhile after beginning to ride the Spyder but now I don't. It hasn't affected me when going back to bikes with handbrakes. But I do believe that if a rider feels like they would be safer with a handbrake that may be a good option for them...

    2012 RT Limited - GPS low volume to speakers?

    Ditto on 5 on the front shocks on my 2012 RT Ltd. set at 3 from dealer. The change to 5 made it handle much better. Also I set the rear pressure up when riding 2 up. 2 up we weigh about 350 lbs.

    Battery Tender

    I used a Pulsetech www.pulsetech.net charger on my Goldwing for 5 years and now it's on my RT. I have been very pleased and have never had a battery issue. They are more expensive than the Battery Tenders (which are very good too). If I'm home, my bike is on a charger. Shop around and you can...

    Front Shocks - How it Handles

    Same here. I went from 3 at delivery to 5 and it made a huge difference for the better. Baja Ron's sway bar is next for me.

    Pre Delivery Inspection question??

    A week ago, my dealer went thru everything in great detail with me. It probably took about 20 minutes with paper work and 30 minutes with the Spyder going thru everything on a thorough walk around. This was followed with the dealer watching me make a few circles around the parking lot. Stopping...

    Different Spyder

    Front Shock Settings I rode my 2012 RT LTD for the first 200 miles with the front shocks set on 3. I switched to 5 and the difference is unbelievable. There might be Elkas and a sway bar in my future.

    Hello from new RT Ltd owner

    Today I changed from a long-time lurker to a proud new 2012 White RT Ltd owner. After over 40 years of owning motorcycles and recently selling my 2008 Goldwing to buy my Spyder, I can say that the thrill is back and I'm looking forward to many happy years and miles with my Spyder and the fine...

    County Tax Department ? Can Am

    In MD we pay 6% on the initial sale and then a registration fee every two years. So a new RT LTD tax bill would be about $1680 and then we are done with taxes.

    County Tax Department ? Can Am

    Looks like the facts say the tax is on capital gains not your house unless you have over $500000 profit. Are we reading the same thing or is this some more election year propaganda? With all the misinformation running around from both sides it is difficult to know what's what. Talking about...
