• 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.

    2020 side bag cable replaced

    Received my replacement cable today. P/N 708003379 I had heard rumors that BRP had changed to an ss cable due to the rusting issue. Since the dealer had to order the cable from BRP I know it's the latest version, so I took a magnet to test if it is ss. Its not. I lubed the cable up until it ran...

    Brake fluid compatibility - can I mix OEM with Prestone DOT 4 synthetic?

    I like the harbor freight one as it doesn't require the brake pedal to be depressed while bleeding.

    Brake fluid compatibility - can I mix OEM with Prestone DOT 4 synthetic?

    It doesn't when new. It turns that color with contamination. I was surprised that my 2 year old fluid was the same color as the 1 year old. I was expecting it to be darker. When I did our 2014 RT after 3 years it was black.

    Brake fluid compatibility - can I mix OEM with Prestone DOT 4 synthetic?

    Since DOT 4 and 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids they are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. It is important never to mistake DOT 5.1 (glycol-based) with DOT 5 which is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other...

    Wet weather tire and gear report

    We run the Vredestein Q's on both our 2020 and 21 RT's as well as our previous F3's and they have been fantastic in the rain as well as dry roads. Worth every penny!

    Brake fluid compatibility - can I mix OEM with Prestone DOT 4 synthetic?

    Just did both my wife's 2021 RT and my 2020 RT. What I use was https://www.harborfreight.com/brake-fluid-bleeder-92924.html. Interesting that the 2021 oem fluid was the same color as the 2020. Looked like coffee.

    ISCI Hand Brake for '21 Spyder RT - Is it worth the money?

    We had installed one on our 2014 RT. It was nice for when I had my feet on the hiway bars, but not really needed. We did not install one on our 2020 and 2021 RT's. We also found no need for hiway bars on these as there is so much more room on the 2020+ RT's.

    Installing Trailer hitch - avoiding obstruction in axle housing?

    You can, but if the replacement axle is covered under warranty so would the labor. I would have the dealer do it.

    I have replaced them on my 2020 RT 3 times and now a number of leds on the left side are out. I like the looks of them, but now thinking of getting the ones from Spyder Pops as that's what I put on my wife's 2021 StS.

    Solo to Alaska

    David, When Kathy and I did our Alaska trip (North to Alaska group) I had changed the oil before we left and again when we got home. A total of 9600 miles on the oil.

    Changing Fuel filter - what tupperware needs to be removed?

    I use Oetiker clamps also, but I do not have that special tool. I use an end cutter, but don't apply enough pressure to cut the clamp (it takes a lot of pressure to cut those clamps) never had an issue with them leaking. https://www.lowes.com/pd/KNIPEX-7-15-in-End-Cutting-Pliers/1000698010
