• 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.

    Can anyone identify this trailer

    The prospective seller must have bought it used, for him to not know the manufacturer. There should be a label or identification somewhere.

    Too hot to ride the Spyder - took the boat...

    Wow!! Too hot in Norway?????? The very southern tip of Norway is north of all the islands of UK, and even with Elgin, Scotland. Wouldn't think that area couldn't get into the 90's F???

    Ft. Collins to Steamboat Springs

    Cool scenery. We took our cage vacation last year, stayed in Hot Springs, looks like you missed it. Then went to Steamboat Springs for a balloon ride

    Where does the ZUMO 660 GPS Wiring on a 2014 RTL run?

    Runs beside gas tank. There are 2 plugs inside, 1 for power, 1 for audio. If you start up by the handle bars, you can wiggle to find the zip ties to start to separate them, then pull up thru that area. The sides around the handle bars will have to come off.

    Can You Tour on a Ryker?

    Yeah, the Ryker means no shifting, but for touring, it's hard to find storage room. And going at interstate speeds, be ready to get high RPM's and vibration. She would be better off with an F3.

    Can You Tour on a Ryker?

    I just bought one 5-2. They may be hard to find yet, just started coming into USA last week of April. Previously earlier in the year came in as police bikes. Only one color, 1 model, no saddlebags or top box, but you can buy them. I like it a lot. Had 2 NT700 before, last one somebody decided to...

    Is this a Major Electrical Short??? Any suggestions?

    I may have found my problem. Stopped at a gas station for break, turned on the key, cluster was blinking, fender lights blinking some. Would not turn over. Thought my battery of 1.5 yrs had a dead cell. Brought it home on a trailer, checked battery with key off - 12.5 volts. Key on 7.5 volts. So...

    Why does the BRP Oil Change Kit have 5.5 quarts of oil?

    When draining from the 2 plugs, if OEM draining plugs, 1 is 41 or 45mm torx, 1 is 6mm hex. Then you fill with 5 qts; and use the check procedure in the book for checking the oil level. Then, if necessary, add any more oil needed from the small bottle. I'm surprised they just didn't add a full qt...

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    You may have been influenced by a stupid online video. There was one where a rider ran in reverse fast and turned the wheels hard, and it did flip onto its side. Stupid, of course you can do that and trigger an uncommon event. But with the "nanny", you have all 3 wheels monitored for speed, and...

    Do I really need to Change O-Rings at Every Oil Change? Do you?

    I don't. Just changed them once in 50,000 miles. Just inspect them, look for any cuts, oil sludge build up. Watch taking them off over the threads. some have wrapped threads with blue tape I think. They do have important jobs keeping channels separate. They are a stepped drain bolt

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    Have been on ferries a few times. The attack angle is not as steep as loading on a trailer, unless its a tilt trailer, or another that has a long ramp situation

    2015 ST Ltd: Where does your rear caliper lie?

    The rear caliper is BELOW the swingarm. Or something like 4-6 position. Without some pics, it's hard to tell what happened. That sub plate can easily see if can be put on backwards. Don't know if it would even fit. It has to go thru axle hole, then I think 2 bolts line up somewhere. EDIT: been...

    2015 RT SE6 wants to keep going when stopped in gear, forward or reverse - any ideas? Anyone else?

    When stopped the clutch will disengage, allowing bike to slowly move forward or backward depending on incline. You will need to keep foot on brake. When the revs pick up to move clutch fully engages, then you go. Even tho the display doesn't show neutral (E), 1st gear is NOT a lock for the bike...

    F3-S pulls to the right - could the sway bar install have done this? Is it easy to re-align myself?

    There is a handlebar angle sensor in the system. So it can't be more out of line than before, or you would get a code. If you were to adjust toe in/out, it could throw that off, and need BUDS to reset the sensor. Adjusting toe in/out needs to be done with a laser. A better sway bar must just...

    What is the Correct Garmin for my '16 RT Ltd?

    well, your dealer is a little off. 2016 has a Garmin 660, looked on the BRP spec sheet. The mounts are different. I have the 590 on my 2015. Have to switch one or the other, so keeping mount and finding a 660 is the best

    Can anyone post a pic of the Seat Latch Lug on a 2022 Spyder RT?

    That pin only holds the seat in place on the front side and you have to have the key to open it. It shouldn't have anything to do with seat heating. What you need is the "plug" to attach the wiring harness to. If you DON'T have the plug coming from seat you DON'T have a heated seat option...

    Stupid is as stupid does!

    I saw a little video clip about this story. They were in a boat, drinking alcohol, and firing blanks with other boats/people around to video this.

    Any Chicago area dealers who will mount car tire?

    What the dealership REALLY means is, you're not buying a tire from us, so just mounting a tire you bring in, is NOT enough money to make for the time. Some dealerships mount them, are they taking the liability? NO. The fronts, if you take them off, I had Walmart install and spin balance them...

    Fitted EBC Rotors and Pads, now it has a pulsing feeling when slowing down under a light pedal!

    They say what you need to do is to ride, then do a few/multiple quick stops to bed them in. They might NOT be fully contacting the full pad.

    Trip, Maine to Yellowstone

    Agreed... I stayed in Jackson Hole for 4 nights as I visited Yellowstone. Most hotels/motels or places to stay as such were $300/$400 a night.
