• 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.

    Cannister-ectomy

    I've read on this forum about the 990 V twins that had issues with starting. The vapor cannister was plugged. But my 2014 1330 is having trouble starting after it sits for a while. My dealer doesn't seem to think it's such a big deal. Whenever I stop for a short time I have to open the gas cap...

    New RT owner here.

    Belt life My belt lasted 108,352 miles. I noticed a quarter inch bump on it at around 11,000 miles. The dealer said I should replace it but it just kept going. The last I heard SpyderAnn had over 114,000 on her RT-S OEM belt. Buckeye Chuck

    Left Turns/Curves Still a Problem For Me....

    I ride an RT-S I owned a BMW K1200LT with a Hannigan trike conversion. It took about 2 miles and I was totally comfortable riding it. But it wasn't the bike I hoped. I felt every little crack in the road and it was eating front tires, two tires a month. I bought a new '14 RT-S in June 2014. My...

    BEST Warranty

    B.E.S.T I bought my '14 RT-S new in June 2014 in Ohio. At the time BRP sent me a certificate in the mail to send back in and they gave me an additional year B.E.S.T protection. That gave me 3 total years. I ride a lot and this June I bought 2 more years. One year was $999 and the second year...

    How High is High Milage?

    Thanks Cuz! I'm not sure I deserve a :bowdown: just because I like to ryde. I do ryde a lot, many people think too much. But what is too much? I bought my 2014 RT-S new June 13th 2014. It had 1 mile on it. Now as of yesterday it has 123,877. Last year I rode my Spyder over 48,000 miles...

    990 Miles covered

    Buckeye Bleau meet Buckeye Chuck I ryde a lot, always have. I've ridden over a million miles in 51 years, on 26 different motorcycles. My health forced me to try 3 wheels in 2010. I tried the Spyder RT but didn't like it, at all. I couldn't see why anybody would want one. A 3 wheeled cycle...

    A Magic Mirror update.

    Vicky, Ann? Yup, hey, I have 2 magnets stuck to my workbench at home gathering dust. Maybe another rider has 2 also. We can get together and make a deal! But package them better than what I had delivered to my mailbox. They were at my home for a few days before I found them, stuck to the top...

    A Magic Mirror update.

    Funny, It's strange I couldn't find anything from you or Lamont posting anything about this. I read SL.com every day. I posted this because I didn't want anybody to experience the same problem I had. What the heck.... Buck

    A Magic Mirror update.

    Reply Yes, I was lucky to still have my stock mirrors. Somebody (me) thought the mirrors would hold tight. But I added the wide angle mirrors and sitting still couldn't get a good view of what's behind. Forget the tethers, don't need them. Using the top stock pin you don't have to worry about...

    A Magic Mirror update.

    I bought my Magic Mirror magnets and installed them on my '14 RT-S. I also bought the wide angle mirrors that stick right over the stock mirrors. So I took a ride to see how everything works. Then I had a problem. I noticed the mirrors needed adjusting. So I switched on my cruise control and...

    changing spark plugs on 2014 rt limited

    My way to change spark plugs. I'm an old gearhead who used to rebuild motorcycle engines. But health issues forced me to get into 3 wheels if I wanted to keep the wind in my face. I bought a BMW K1200LT that had a Hannigan trike conversion. I couldn't work on it, changing oil was about all I...

    Doc Humphries Vibration Damper

    I ordered my damper last Wednesday and had it Friday. I love fast service. I watched the install video but actually doing it was easier. The hardest part was getting all the tupperware off, and even that's not all that hard. I then took my '14 RT-S out for a test ride on I-70. Earlier I could...

    Oil Drain Plugs - Dimple or Gold?

    My last oil change I stripped the torx head on the transmission plug. I've read some comments of replacements here. What do you recommend? And how can I get the bad plug out? There may be enough shoulder to get a vise grip on it. I hate to pay the dealer $85 to do the job. Thanks Buckeye Chuck

    Magic Mirror Mounts

    I got mine today! After 35 days. They're as advertised, I can't believe any magnet can be so powerful. I tore the shipping bag taking it from the mailbox, then it stuck to the steel garage door. It took a few minutes to install and at first wasn't too happy with how they fit, there was still a...

    Advice on cleaning

    Plexus for me. I clean my Pearl White '14 RT-S after every ride. Bugs are relatively freshly smashed and using a wet microfiber towel takes the bugs and anything else right off. Then a light mist of Plexus does a nice finish. I don't have anything problem with cleaning products, but why spend...

    HELP! High Temperature.

    Same with mine. My '014 did the same thing. Even after stopping for a short while, and after starting the gauge would spike all the way to hot. The fans would come on and get the limp home mode. But then after getting in gear it would come back down to normal. I wasn't checking my reservoir and...

    Magic Mirror Mounts

    Lucky I ordered mine April 2nd got a message they were shipped on the 10th. May 1st and still no M&M's. I wrote Russell and was told the problem is on my end. My bad, should have ordered from somewhere else. Never again. B.S. Buckeye:banghead:

    Calling all 2014-2015 RT owners with "Belt Vibration"

    Good timing. Those who know me know I ride a lot. I own a '14 RT-S, I, like many have experienced this vibration. But something slowly started happening. I changed to a General Altimax RT 43 last September 3rd. A was running a Kumho KH 16 before. I like this General. The vibration slowly...

    Bright Headlights Daytime Yes or No

    I also have Lamonster's LED headlights, and running lights. I leave the lights on low beam in the daytime and have the running lights on as well. That's one impressive set of lights, as close to Xenon lights you can get. Chuck
