• 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.

    Shoei Neotech 2

    I had an older Arai helmet that I loved, but was starting to fall apart. I purchased a Shoei GT AirII aprox $600. The I tried it on it squeezed my cheeks pretty hard. (chipmunk look) Tried it for a couple short rides and called to check on smaller cheek pads. They were another $50 and out of...

    2020/21 redesigned front drive sprocket

    I'm out of the loop on this one, why is everyone replacing the pulley? Is it a noise or a spline issue and what years are effected?

    How to sell a Spyder?

    Like others have said come with a car and leave it there for the road test and take a picture of their license. Make sure it has motorcycle endorsement. If you feel uncomfortable about the person or circumstances just don't do it.

    How Many Miles Did You Go in 2020?

    I put over 15000 miles on this year. This is my first Spyder and the most miles in one year. I've had motorcycles all my life and averaged 3000 to 5000 miles a year. I just couldn't stop riding this Spyder. Furthest away I went was NY. (from Maine) Hopefully next summer I can spread my wings...

    Front tire balancing?

    I balanced mine on my Coats spin balancer (I own and automotive repair shop) like I would any other wheel and tire. I don't think the balancer will balance a tire with something in it. The balancer will chase an object inside the tire and keep putting a weight in a different place trying to...

    2021 Road Trips, who's going where?

    I finally figured out how to get my map in my signature. These are only destinations I have made with my Spyder. I've only had the Spyder for about a 1 1/2 years. I put over 15000 miles on it in 2020. Now I'm ready to take on the rest of the world. lol

    2021 Road Trips, who's going where?

    I was just reading a post about someone planning a road trip and rather that hyjack his post I thought I should start another. What trips do you have planned for 2021 already? I live in Maine and I am planning a trip to Tennessee in the spring. (sister & BIL live there) I have a friend in N...

    I wish BRP would do something like this

    I hope BRP will get their head out of their a** and scrape this new dash unit soon and get in the real game of GPS and sync. You should go to DooTalk and hear the hate for the NEW gauge that BRP charged more for. Its just like our Spyder, small (for a GPS), clunky if it works at all and a...

    Is a 2021 RTL sway bar inter-changeable with a 2019?

    I am trading my 2019 RTL for a 2021 RTL. I put the Baja Ron sway bar on my 2019. Is the 2021 sway bay the same? I'm thinking I should keep my Baja Ron bar for the 2021 if it will fit.

    2021 handlebar riser

    Thats a good point, I would like to have the bars closer to me also. I went thru this on my Harley and ended up with the Helibars because they were so adjustible. I was hoping the adjustable riser would be able to be rotated back toward the driver when installed. They must bolt on to a fixed...

    2021 handlebar riser

    Does anyone know if the adjustable handle bars @$300 are the same as the adjustable riser on the new sea to sea edition. If so do you need any new cables or wire extensions to add to a 2021 RTL?

    shuddering start off

    I have a 2019 RTL. When I start it cold in the garage and back it out to warm up. It always surges. After warmed up all is good.

    When does BRP start giving 2021 rebates?

    No 21's at my dealer now anyway. I think I'll try to put a deal together and maybe between now and spring, when i want it BRP will throw a rebate at them.

    When does BRP start giving 2021 rebates?

    When does BRP start giving rebates on new Spyders. I'm looking to buy a 2021 and would like to get at least a small rebate.

    Are Kenda K20 Kanines installed as OEM tires on the 2020 Spyders?

    I have almost 8000 miles on my rear Kanine. Looks like I might get 12000 miles out of this tire. I have run it in the rain just a few times with no problems. I'm running 29 PSI in it. It is wearing the center out first, but as I look around at the auto tires on spyders, they all seem to wear the...

    2020 RT Belt Tensioner

    This is what happened when mine failed. I purchased it from BRP it had over 10000 but less than 14000 miles on it when it failed. Mine is a 2019. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/images/attach/jpg.gif https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/images/attach/jpg.gif

    Another tire thread?

    If the tire is rated at 118 MPH it has been tested to maintain a speed of 118, not just a spurt to 118. I am not trying to be argumentative just realistic. If your vehicle will only do 100 and the tire is rated for 118 your good. Higher speed vehicles that shut down at a certain speed, shut down...

    I think my 2020 RTL has the Covert-19 - latest Update

    If the message said check key, I would try the other key if you have it. Sounds like the ECM is not reading the chip in the key. I thought all the Spyder had a 2 year warranty anyway. good luck and let us know the outcome.
