• 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.

    Spyder burns?

    I'm no expert, but from what I've read, the 2010-2014 RTs had a heat issue. it's the reason the vent kit was created. The 2014-2019 moved the radiators and changed the venting to avoid this issue. The PO of my RTS put the vents on anyway and I've got no complaints about the heat.

    What rear tire choice staying with the OE 225/50R-15?

    My used 2014 came with the Kumho on it. it's pretty well worn, but after a year of riding on it I don't have any complaints. based on recommendations here, I just ordered a full set of the Veredestein Quatrac 5s from Vulcan tire. Slighter different sizes: 175/55-15 front and 205/60-15 rear...

    Seems no mater what I listen to, I still hear the ringing. Just have to ignore it as best I can.

    Painting over your chrome....

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of chrome - almost got all of it off my truck. Fortunately my RTS didn't come with much. I got the luggage rack removed and was going to get it powdercoated, but I'm not sure at this point that I'd put it back on anyway. I am considering painting the "silver" parts.

    ATGATT on Spyder = PTGATT?

    I've noticed my tendency to not wear my mesh pants during the summer on the Spyder. In the winter I need the wind protection of the over pants. I've ridden around the neighborhood - 25mph - with t-shirt and jeans, but that's about it. Otherwise I have a full face helmet and jacket. Though...

    Favorite Music

    Words are not always necessary - Synergy, Tangerine Dream, Hyper, Glitch Mob, Automatica, The Animusic Soundtracks. Kitaro, 2 Cellos and Lindsey Stirling for less electronic sounds. Understanding the words isn't always necessary for me - Show-ya and Band Maid are Japanese bands I like. Leo...

    Rear tire fix

    I'll have to agree - I've used the sticky rope plugs on both cars and two-wheeled bikes with no issues. Never swapped out a tire just because of a plug. I've moved up to the mushroom plugs now and treat them the same way.

    Daytona Bike Week

    I used to enjoy bike week when I lived in Daytona. Went back a few times after joining the AF, but it just kept getting bigger till it had spilled over into the adjacent towns. Not as fun for me, too many people and too much stupidity.

    Alternate oil filter

    For my one oil change so far, Ron hooked me up. Since I didn't know what the pO had done or used, I wanted a comprehensive all-in-one kit.

    intermittant vibrations @ highway speeds

    I have tools and a carport - or maybe my brother's shop. I don't have a tension gauge though. Probably ought to get one as I think I get the same vibrations you're talking about - comes and goes and feels like a rough/gravel road but not really steady. I need a new set of tires and was...

    Harley-Davidson CEO Resigns

    I "grew up" in Daytona during the AMF/Harley years so my opinion of them was formed then. I was riding a Yamaha RD, and most of the bikers treated me as a "special" relative. The popular t-shirt said "I'd rather eat a can of worms that ride rice" or some such. Even though they would admit...

    Next Gen Spyder Drvetrain

    I'd go manual trans before going back to the semi-auto I have now. If I'd have known before I bought... The Honda DCT has 2 clutches, one for odd gears and one for even. It can be "manually" shifted just like many cars/trucks today. As I recall it also has sport and tour modes. Honestly, a...

    Next Gen Spyder Drvetrain

    I don't NEED more power. but I wouldn't mind it. Belt drive - it's more efficient than shaft and cleaner/quieter than chain so I don't mind it. But alignment and issues with gravel are a tad annoying. Better mpg? Sure, but my brother's '05 wing gets around the same as my '14 RTS so, we're...

    2020 RT series are cool, but who's keeping their old Spyder

    I like the looks of the '20, but I rarely buy new anyway so I'd have to wait for someone trading in theirs. But at the rate things are going at home, I may not even keep the '14 so it may not be an issue.

    Keeping Warm

    Ok, battery powers sounds all well and good, but how heavy is it? I'd imaging the battery for a jacket/liner that runs 8 hours would be fairly substantial.

    2018 RTL XM radio?

    I had one of those on my '14 when I got it. It was connected to a Sena SM10H. Seemed like an odd way to go, so I pulled the whole mess out. Never use the onboard systems anyway - just stream from the phone straight to the Cardo unit in the helmet.

    Spyder RT start up time?

    Haven't been on in a while, but after reading this thread, I tried it on my '14 RTS. A few seconds after "Can-Am" appears, I can hit the mode button and it starts right up. When the screen finishes booting it goes right to the gauges. I'm still putting on my gear, so maybe this gets me a few...

    Maintenance manual

    I couldn't find an online one, so got the CD. Honestly, I used it once, and the pics in it are the same ones as the online stuff I found for doing the same project so I could have gone without buying it. I was doing the trans filter, and found all kinds of write ups and pics online that were...
