• 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.

    RT vent kit on 2014 RT

    I have a 2013 RT Limited, BRP installed those scoops and other panels as part of the factory recall, the retrofit made a BIG difference in how cool the Spyder now runs and fuel vapor odors were also reduced; BRP a new evap cannister was part of the retrofit. I'm definitely happier with my Spyder...

    Volume Limit?

    Hi, my 2013 RT Limited seems to have the volume limit set to halfway, I cannot seem to get it to go higher. I checked my iPod volume limit, and it's at max. Is there a setting in the audio menu for the Spyder that I'm missing? Please advise, I didn't have a limit to max before, maybe pilot...

    Tires and Cold Concrete Floors

    :agree: I ride my RT when it's not too cold here in northern AL, and I keep it on the tender. I don't have to ride it 30 miles for it to reach operating temperature. As long as it's not freezing and ice is on the roads I ride it. I noticed letting it sit more than 2 weeks makes for hard starting.

    Installing a headlight modulator

    :agree: High beams are a MUST on a motorcycle in the daytime in my opinion. If an oncoming driver is peeved to see a modulating headlight, then that means HE SAW YOU.

    Having recently purchased a 2013 RT Limited, and dealing with some of these heat and gas vapor issues, I agree that we should stay on topic, and avoid talk of litigation. I have formally registered complaints with the NHTSA, and corresponded with Mr. Robert Young of the NHTSA, who is working...

    My Life cOuLd have totally changed yesterday

    I'm glad to hear your wife is okay, she sounds like a good rider, and that's why she's okay. That is one of the main dangers of riding in the dark, or at dusk or dawn. The critters are out. I had much the same experience living in Arizona, on my Harley Fat Boy with three Javelina. needless to...

    Its a miracle ...

    Air Pressure It sounds like the 15 psi front 28 psi rear the manual suggests is too low, especially in the front tires. I think I'll try 20 psi in the front and see if it's better. I'm new to the Spyder, by the way, and welcome input from more experienced ryders.

    I'm at my breaking point with gas fumes from my 2012 RT-S :(

    Hi, can you tell me what is used to wrap the fuel Tank? I haven't had fume issues on my 2013 Limited as yet; I just took a 250 mile ride Sunday, and really didn't notice too many fumes during the fuel stops. In my garage, my Spyder gives no more fumes than my 2011 Harley Ultra Classic did.

    :clap:Well Said, sir! I just came over to a Spyder fro a Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic, and there are definitely some Harley snobs out there. I owned three, and they're good bikes, but I got tried of wrestling 800 plus pounds on two wheels. As far as bang for the buck, the Spyder offers a lot...
