• 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.

    Not shifting into reverse - any ideas?

    Thanks to Cadaverdog. I have been wanting an owners manual to my (purchased used) '16 since I bought it. I now have it. Thanks. All knowledge is on this forum.

    What is a VSS fault?

    Peter. My riding is both short and long (1 hour plus). I haven't been able to pinpoint whether it is after, let say 1/2 hour or longer stints in the saddle. But it DOES only happen when the engine hesitates, as mentioned earlier. I don't use a battery tender as I ride it at least multiple...

    What is a VSS fault?

    Thanks all. It sounds like I may have a issue with hot starting which is causing the momentary showing of the "VSS FAULT". That is the only times I have seen the issue.

    What is a VSS fault?

    2022 RT-L, aprox. 11k miles, put in to service May 16 of this year and has had the 3k mile run through. This shows up for about 5 seconds occasionally, under the following conditions. After riding for at least a half hour and perhaps stopping for a stretch and shutting the engine off. The...

    Does this handlebar look factory standard for my 2021 RTL?

    OK, I have got to jump in here. I'm on the opposite end of this. I'm 5'7" and have got to replace those stock bars. They are killing my elbows. F series or short reach?

    I have crossed over from the dark side

    Welcome, welcome. If you take your time and learn the differences between your last and this one, you will be one happy camper. I'm on my 3rd one and put 60K on my first one before I traded up.. And enjoy this forum. Answers to most of your questions can be answered here.

    Firmware update on 2021 Spyder RTL

    Does anyone know if these issues carried forward to the '22s? I have a brand new one waiting for me when I get back to Michigan.

    Tried to start the old 2012 RTL today

    I sure enjoyed my '13, 998 in an ST body. Put 68K miles before we traded it last year. I always thought those engines got a bad rap. If you learned to ride them they were a hoot. If it would have been possible for me to keep the ST and just buy my 2016 RTL I would have.

    2020 Top Box Will Not Remain Open - any solutions?

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    Just to update. Bill W is sending me what I need. Thank you thank you. But now a question before I do the install. Will I need to take the seat off to install that underseat bracket?

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    Thanks Peter. I hope this works. Bill. I hope this looks like the top of your unused one. Please let me know. If so, this will fix me right up.

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    OK. To be clear I am going to repeat. I have a stock 2016 RTL. I an interested in the riders backrest. I have access through a friend of the upper portion (the back rest itself) but he does not have the bracket that is the underseat portion that the upper portion fits in to through the seat...

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    Yes I am absolutely interested. But for safety sake, I will send you a picture of the upped backrest portion so we don't go down the wrong roads. I can't thank you enough. I'll be back. To the group, should I send the picture on a PM?

    What's the best pressure for Quatrac front tires on 2022 F3-L?

    I had the Vredesteins on my ST. I weigh 155 lbs. I put almost 30K miles on them before I sold the bike. At least 10K of that was in the Applachians and they looked like the had another 20K left when run at a constant 18 lbs.

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    I'm not fussy. Per my earlier post, I was looking for the bottom bracket for an OEM backrest. But since then I am discovering that the aftermarket is full of full backrest kits for anywhere from $125 to $250 complete. Perhaps I'm asking he wrong question. Maybe I should be asking if any of...

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    OUCH. Not what I wanted to hear but I'm not surprised. At this point I think I will let it rest. I do have one link possible with a fellow at 2 Guys Garage (Phoenix area) who wants to see if he can make one at a sensible price. 'll let the group know if that bears any fruit. Thanks for the...
