• 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.

    Brighter head and tail lights

    I plan to go with the LED conversion but when I went to xenon depot's Web site there were bulbs for 9005, 9005L, and 9005LL. Any idea which ones I should order? ::😞on't know::

    Brighter head and tail lights

    Can anyone recommend a replacement bulb for the front, fog and rear lights for a 2014 RTL? I have changed all the reflectors to LED and added extra led lights to the rear along with one on the inside of each front fender. The existing lights, both front and back are really not very bright. I...

    Would *you* have sold the bike?

    I also commend you for doing what you did. Not many people would have. They would have taken the money and felt fine about it. If he had gotten hurt or worse, they would have just shrugged it off as his fault for not having the experience or training to ride properly. I would have done the same...

    Reputable dealers in southern California? seeing horror stories on Yelp.

    Lived on Coronado for 6 months while looking for a house to buy. Couldn't believe how much real estate cost on the island. I did get to see the USS Ronald Reagan come into port for the first time from Norfolk. The captain came and spoke to us at the Rotary. He was a young man to be captain of...

    The "Good Morning" thread

    Just ran across this post, so I'm a little late. Clear Blue skies with Temps in the upper 70's to around 80 in Mooresville, NC. Didn't get to ride the bike yesterday or today. It is still in the shop getting the gasoline tank replaced. Finished my second cup of coffee about 12 hours ago. The...

    Spyder Attitude Mufflers

    Has anyone put these mufflers on with the by-pass pipe and had trouble hearing their radio/intercom/ipod in their helmets? I'm using the Sena system, both dongle and headsets and there is no way to increase the volume levels on the headsets above factory settings (as far as I know). I can access...

    How loud are Spyder Attitude Mufflers

I'm using the Sena system, both dongle and headsets and there is no way to increase the volume levels on the headsets above factory settings (as far as I know). I can access...

    Moisture in speedometer

    I had this problem with the fuel and temperature gages not long after I bought my 2014 RTL. When the gages dried out I knew they were not sealed. Took it in and both gages replaced under warranty. I have not had the issue with the speedometer or Tach.

    Safety concerning brakes

    I have had to do a couple of panic stops and believe me, pumping the brake pedal will not enter your mind. Jam down on the brake pedal and hold on. The ABS kicked in both times and kept the wheels from sliding. They, however did nothing for the years subtracted from my life due to the emmence...

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    I have never noticed an inrush of air into the tank when taking the cap off. It has always come off with little effort and I have always put it back on until it clicked once. Also never noticed a gush of pressure excaping the tank when taking it off. I'm no expert by any stretch of the...

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    I agree, as others have stated on this thread I think that at the end of the day it will be determined that the vent system failed causing this failure. As I stated in an earlier posts, the shop foreman is planning on running tests on the vent system along with checking the fuel/air ratio on the...

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    I'm not sure it is the Spyder Bike itself that she is afraid of but this particular bike. She test drove a 2014 STS and a 2015 F3 and grinned the whole time. I think she just wants her own bike now so there will be someone to put me out when I become the new Ghost Rider on a Spyder. LOL JK. We...

    Sena SM-10, Does it work?????

    On the SMH-10 you can select either option on the setup screen on the PC when it is connected to one. I turned my VOX on and with all the wind noise and muffler noise (Spyder Attitude Exhaust) the headsets kept switching to intercom. I turned it back off and now if my wife or I want to talk to...

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    I don't think it is going to come to that. The exhaust didn't have anything to do with the failure. I believe he will find the vent system malfunctioned and all this is covered under warranty. I know a few RTL owners that have put Spyder Attitude exhaust on their machines far longer than I have...

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    Yes, I was aware that BRP read these posts. The shop is checking the entire fuel system to ensure it is operating correctly. He wanted to do some checks before he contacted BRP, not that he was trying to keep something from them. He felt if he notified them now, they would want the tank back...

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    No, I have never received any codes of any kind since I owned it and I bought it new. Here are some pictures of the tank still in the bike.

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    No, BRP has not been contacted. The foreman states that he is trying to keep from contacting them because they will claim the exhaust caused the failure and I would definitely have to pay for the tank and repairs. The tank is $500.00. I know, it sounds like he is trying to cya. If he still comes...

    Gasoline Tank Failure

    We had a long discussion about his theory. He is going to run some test on the entire system to make sure everything is working properly. I believe he will find something malfunctioning, that caused this. I tried to explain to him the same thing about the exhaust making it run cooler, not...
