• 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.

    -51F riding video, yeah its not the coldest ride I have had this year

    All I Can Say Is WOW !!! I knew it got cold up there and by that I mean up north. We saw 9' F this morning in West Texas. A little colder than normal for us and it will warm up by tommorrow. You win the prize as said. I wouldn't even think of getting on my Spyder in that temp and the conditions...

    Cold Cold Cold Wow and way down here in west texas. Its sleet and snow 25 deg now. 20's all day tomorrow and saturday probably. Might hit 30 something. Wish I was in New york. Driving is treacherous down here on the ice, cause we don't have that much nor the capability of dealing with it as...

    Slow riding question

    Go for it. I rode 2 up in a forth of July parade in west Texas. Hot Hot Hot pretty slow moving for about 2 hours and I had no problem. I actually won first place in the motorcycle division, partly because I was the only vehicle playing patriotic music during the parade, the other reason is I...

    FYI on my RT's Top Speed

    How fast I pushed mine to 95 MPH one day passing a truck and still had some left (one up). I normally ride between 75 - 80 on I/20. Fast enough for me. It will be interesting to see how the 2014's do. Congrats Bob on your 2014, you'll have to give us some feed back. Merry Christmas :D

    Does anyone else do this?

    I know what your saying I will sometimes go out and uncover my Spyder, and look at it for a while. Might even dust it off a bit. My Honda VTX stays on my Patio and I see it everytime I let the dogs out in the back yard. I know we have better weather out here in west texas, but there are...

    Anti-Freeze Leak

    coolant leak Hopefully its just a hose clamp. I did see where someone posted about a seal leak in the water pump, and posted as a recall on the 2012's. When these things run hot as they do everything has a way of expanding. With the cooler weather my guess would be a clamp being loose due to...

    Feeling a little bit of a surge on bike

    75 miles Filled up on trip home with 93 octane. Gonna fill it up when the rain clears out with the good stuff, and put several more hundred miles on it before its 4600 mile service. The dealer will check it out when I take it in, as they have always done really well on my service. I have...

    Feeling a little bit of a surge on bike

    300 miles from 4600 mile checkup but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. Just did about 700 mile trip this weekend, and before I rained out on the last 125 miles, I began to feel the bike surging. Not a great deal but enough to notice. I was running about 70 mph with the cruise...

    Startron & ethanol fuel

    Top Tier Fuels Hey, I resemble that remark. ALON fuels with a Chevron made additive, at least thats what the MSDS says. All fuels still have ethanol as mandated at 10%, and looks as though the blend will increase. As far as I can tell the stuff has the same effects in all engines. Water in...

    Great news for my vent swap idea!

    Maybe why ?? I've not had the heat issues many have. Maybe because I have the base RT unit SE5, without the fog lights. I've been wanting additional lights, but have been looking at the LED front A frame mounted units instead of the BRP fog lights. I agree, the fog lights have to be a great...

    Tilting Trailer

    What you saying about the 2013's Know what you mean. Bought a trailer, when I bought the Spyder. Dealer 300 miles. Had it back 3 times since May. No major problems though, 600 mile check, the typical service bulletin (heim joints), and the recall. 4th trip coming with the 4600 mile checkup...

    Chatter noise when taking off...

    Mine too I've narrowed the beeping noise to the parking brake, being engaged when I start the bike in gear, just to alert me its on. It does beep, when you throttle with it in gear and the brake on as you well know. You may have something here, as it may be the parking brake sticking or...

    check Transmission

    Filter make that much difference I recently purchased a K&N filter for my RT. Haven't even looked at the original filter to replace yet, but there is a chance I may be getting some oil in the filter. Does the K&N prevent this from happening?

    Spyder vs Road Hazard

    Similar Incident Glad you are OK. Hopefully a quick fix of the bike and you will be riding again. I had the same thing happen to me the other day on my 2 wheeler. I thought about my spyder afterward. I was entering the highway and a car pulled left and passed me, but quickly got back to the...
