• 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.

    2024 RT Ltd Cruise Control Indicator Light not showing - anyone else?

    I was riding on 7/3 and watched for the cruise icon on my 2022 RTL. It only comes on when cruise is engaged. If I just have the switch in the on position, there's nothing on the screen K80Shooter: I am sure the on/off switch is for 2 reasons: one, to activate cruise; and two, turn it off for...

    2024 RT Ltd Cruise Control Indicator Light not showing - anyone else?

    I must admit after 12 years of riding 3 different RTL's I never noticed if the screen has any indicator that denotes the cruise control is on. On all 3, I mostly leave the cruise switch in the on position and then set the speed as needed. Once I turn off the Spyder the setting is cancelled.

    Debating a water bottle setup on my '22 RT-L - any pics, suggestions?

    I use this from drink2go.com. I mounted it to the windshield side of the left grip and not the inside as shown in the picture. I've used it since 2012. Works and inexpensive. https://www.drink2go.com/cdn/shop/products/IMG_0202__62252.1471204766.451.416_2048x2048.jpg?v=1474756209

    Any suggestions on 2022 RT Limited GPS mounting? Wiring? Pictures? Supplier?

    On my 2022 RTL I installed a Zumo 590LM between the handlebars on a mount I purchased from LaMonster. I also purchased the plug n play harness. My 2022 did not have the right-side accessory plug so I could not use Lamonster's harness. I tapped into the power line running along the right side. It...

To increase speed while moving simply press the CC button up until you reach the speed you want. To release the CC setting you can shift, press on the...

    On my 2012 and 2014 RTL's I used a BRP half cover when traveling and a BRP full cover when parked in the driveway for extended periods. On my 2022 RTL I use an Ultraguard half cover and an Ultraguard full cover in the same way. Why an Ultraguard you may ask. When I purchased the BRP half cover...
