• 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.

    Need A New Battery

    BATTERY MAINTAINER Howdy, from Montana: I live in snow country, and our motorcycle, Spyder and ATV batteries stand, unused, for many months each year. I can't remember when I started using BATTERY MAINTAINERS instead of chargers, but probably 10 years ago. I've had my ATV since 1998, and it...

    IS THERE TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT ON THE RT-S ??

    2012 RT-S .... Looks like there are adjustment points on both tie rods. Are those for adjusting the toe-in? My dealer told me the toe-in should be zero degrees (straight ahead). I'm going in for the 3,000 mile service, and would like to know. CapNCrunch

    Can-Am Armor

    Tourmaster Intake Series 2 Jacket Pretty frustrating, I'd say! What good is a riding jacket ..... with out armor??! I've tried many different brands of "convertable" jackets over the past 30 years, and have found the "Tourmaster Intake Series 2" jacket to be the most versatile. The...

    Montana Spyder in Stevensville, MT Hi, guys. Don't know if you're coming this far north. If you get up this way on US 93 or I-90, we're just a few miles from one of the best motorcycle roads in the U.S., U.S. 12 (RT 12) from Lolo, MT to Clarkston, OR. Drop us a post, if you do. CapNCrunch

    2011 spyder in shop again!!

    3,000 miles plus. No problems. I'm really sorry to hear of all your RT issues. It just doesn't sound right, to me. I've had my 2011 RT-S SE-5 for over a year, now, and haven't had ANY issues at all. Over 3,000 miles on it, and it runs like a fine, Swiss watch. My dealer, Jesco Marine, in...

    Backrest for 2012 RT

    Utopia Backrest ..2 thumbs up! Well, Harley, I'm in my late 70's, and installed the Utopia on my 2011 RT-S SE-5 with the standard seat, one morning this last winter. Easy installation (scary, but easy), after talking to "Bob" @ Utopia, and downloading and studying the easy to understand...

    DEER!!!!

    SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ON 2 WHEELS!! I think you're right about the Spyders weight and its 3 wheel stance. They likely saved you a much worse outcome. I (almost) hit a deer, on a two wheeler, four years ago. He stepped right out in front of me on a downhill, right hand curve at 65 MPH. Being on...

    dirt road handling characteristics?

    DIRT ROADS & ROCK GUARDS I ride a 2011 RT-S SE5, and live on a dirt road in Montana. The only thing I would caution you on is to install the "Forgotten Rock guard" from SPYDERPOPS. The drive belt doesn't have any dirt or rock shield on the inside (wheel side). It's reasonably priced, and...

    Help for flashing Brake light on RT

    TRUNK LID REMOVAL ANSWER: If you access (GOOGLE) the "Street Magic Genesis LED RT HMT brake light" website, and click on "Installation Guide", you will find step by step instructions for the removal of the "outer trunk lid cover". The :spyder2: RT Service Manual shows how the lid, itself, is...

    hard/soft option on consol

    GET THAT MANUAL! BE SURE to get that MANUAL. You'll need it for a lot more than just the rear suspension adjustments. The RT S is a complex machine, and the owner really needs to know how to operate it properly and safely, and how to take care of it. It's a real joy to ride, but it needs to...

    OOO, ya really want to know? Well, my body just turned 79, but my mind thinks I'm still in my 30's:yes:. It looks like riding my :spyder2: RT-S might keep me there for a while longer. B V : =)

    HOW TO GET TUNES IN MY HELMET?

    I have a 2011 :spyder2: RT-S, and I want to get tunes into my helmet. Don't need to talk to anyone, just want the same stuff that I now get through the stock speakers. A wired setup would work, but bluetooth would be better. Since there are 4 speakers, I haven't been able to figure out where...

    UTOPIA BACKREST

    Cudos to Utopia for a well designed 'driver' backrest for the 2011 :spyder2: RT-S. It is a perfect fit, and allows for full adjustment to fit the rider. The installation instructions are uncommonly complete and easy to follow. Thanks for a really great product. :thumbup: B V : =)

    A MAP HOLDER THAT REALLY WORKS

    Nope, only maps and other FLAT items, such as tickets, hotel reservations, etc. It's only a map holder, and not part of a tank bag. B V

    FINALLY!! A MAP HOLDER THAT REALLY WORKS. After nearly a year of searching, I've found a MAGNETIC map holder that works on my 2011 :spyder2: RT-S. It's made by "Rally Pack". It's a form-fitting pouch with a clear plastic map window, soft foam rubber on the reverse side, and 4 magnets sewn...

    Cooling Vest

    EVAPORATIVE VEST I've been wearing a SILVER EAGLE evaprorative vest for years, now. It's worn between an undershirt and my mesh jacket on VERY hot days. For long trips you can soak it before leaving, and store it, wet, rolled up in a large ZIP bag in your saddlebag or trunk. Pull it out...

    Call from Carlo

    EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOUR DEALER'S QUALITY I picked up my 2011 RT-S SE-5 last March, from the dealer in Kalispell, MT (Jesco Marine & Power Sports). When I took it in for the 600 mile service, the Service Mgr. went through it with "a fine tooth comb". The only problems I had noticed were that...
