• 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.

    RS-S seat question

    Hi all, The stock seat pan on my 2010 RS-S is broken (bought it that way) and the skin is ripped so... I figure it's time to get a seat. My question is, if a used Corbin and a new BRP Comfort seat are about the same price, which one should I get? What are the pros and cons of either? I do...

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    The white one in my sig is Wingless Griffon, the black one is Raven and the white RS-S is Bugeyes. All of them are boys :)

    Anything wrong with putting a trailer hitch on an RS-S?

    I am mainly looking to tow a tent trailer, not so much for cargo but for sleeping. Back and hip issues make regular camping/tents difficult so if I can find a good deal on a small fold-out tent trailer, that will be great :).

    Anything wrong with putting a trailer hitch on an RS-S?

    Thanks for all the replies. I'll go ahead and get the hitch and wait for a good deal on a trailer to come along. Would love to get one of those motorcycle pop-up tent trailers! With my back and hip the way they are nowadays, I can't set up a regular tent very well so those sound like a great...

    Anything wrong with putting a trailer hitch on an RS-S?

    Thanks Mike. I found a used BRP hitch for a decent price, and I do hope to find a lighter trailer. Would I have to cut into the Spyder's wiring to wire up the pigtail for the lights? Or is there a plug-in harness?

    Spyder in the shop

    Sorry you are having such problems! I am wondering if the cruise control cutting out over bumps is caused by the same problem that sends the Spyder into limp mode... like a faulty wheel speed sensor or something. Your Spyder sounds a lot like a 92 Mercedes I had once... tons of electrical...

    Anything wrong with putting a trailer hitch on an RS-S?

    Hi all, As I understand, the older RT had the same drivetrain as the RS and the same swing arm. So did/does the ST if I am not mistaken. Both the RT and ST seem to have hitches available for them. What about the RS/RSS? I'd love to get a tow hitch on mine and there seem to be different ones...

    What do you think?Buy it?

    Congrats! Last summer I missed out on a deal just like that by about 5 minutes, ha ha. But that's ok, I got a Spyder anyway and I'm happy. I think you'll love the V-twin with Two Brothers. That's what I have on my 2010 RS-S, sounds awesome :)

    RS-S running warm, or is it normal?

    Hi all! Went on a lovely ryde on this lovely Washington day. Just a nice short ride around town. The temp outside was around 50 degrees, plus or minus a couple. I noticed that the RS-S coolant gauge was at 5 bars, which is a notable amount above "middle". Is that normal? The F3 never went...

    So how high was your snow....

    We have lots of liquid snow in Seattle. I would MUCH rather have the frozen kind! :D

    pondering F3

    Barry, my brother wanted an F3 but his wife was more comfortable on the back of an RT so they got an RT. Well, guess what? She doesn't want to ride on it at all now, and he still wishes he had an F3. If your wife doesn't like the F3's seat as much, you can always upgrade the seat. If you are...

    Is the 2011 rs a good model

    I love my 2010 RS-S, and I love my F3-S. Honestly, if I had to give up the F3, I would enjoy the heck out of the RSs anyway (althought I am currently trying to sell the RSS due to financial issues; can't justify having a spare bike right now). You can replace the RS handlebars with RT...

    Couldn't stand it any more!!

    Been dying to go for a ryde, but life has been ridiculously hectic and Bugeyes was "buried" behind a couple of other cars away from our house (due to potential flooding at our place). I finally just couldn't stand it, had to walk up the hill (a 5 minute uphill walk is difficult when your hip is...

    Sink or Swim Adventure

    I have both a 998 (RS-S) and a 1330 (F3-S). Love them both. I honestly get more enjoyment out of riding the 998, but that may be because I paid a lot less for it! Ha ha I haven't gotten the greatest fuel mileage on the 1330 (34 mpg, but that's before the engine was fully broken in and doing...

    pondering F3

    I rode on 2 wheels for 20 years before finally getting a Spyder. Been wanting one since I saw one in 2008, finally got one last year! I wouldn't go back to 2 wheels now. Both for safety and fun. Yes, I enjoyed leaning into corners but Spyders are fun in corners too, just different. I...

    Exhaust Question

    Be careful with Two Brothers exhaust. I LOOOVE mine on the V-twin, it looks and sounds fantastic but it is pretty obnoxious. Most of the neighbors hate it and I don't think I could handle it on a long trip (done an hour at a time on it, no issues but any longer and I think I'd be a bit deafened).
