• 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.

    RTL - brake pad replacement intervals. Just replaced my pads at 21,000 miles. Is this a fair mileage?

    You are in the right area with that milage. As the brakes are what stop you, I aways buy the best, as my life is worth more than a few bucks.

    How common are 2021 RT Ltd air suspension failures?

    I would even go as far to call a few dealerships and ask the approximate price for the bike your looking at there are also a few online places where you can get an estimate of what a bike like that is worth. Still search bikes for sale in Canada amazing what you can learn with research Even at...

    How common are 2021 RT Ltd air suspension failures?

    If in Canada that should be 5000 klm which is like a brand new bike. Sounds a bit high in the price for me, what dealer and where is it. I would check dealers across Canada just to get an idea what others are selling and price range. If it was a trade in I bet they only paid 60% of that.

    From a Goldwing to a Spyder RT Limited...

    The Tail on a Spyder is a lot different but still enjoyable. I thought I would miss my two wheeler as well after riding for 55 years. I was young and stupid and used to ice race motorcycles. I swapped by ST 1300 for a RSS and rode it for five years. I am up over 1,000,000 miles on a motorcycle...

    Front end shaking around 55 mph - anyone else have this issue?

    Check for cupping on your front tires. This can throw off your front end at speed and give it a shaky feel. I had it happen to me after driving on hot roads and turning too fast. I'm older now so I don't try to slide around the corners. lol

    Is this High milage? What should I expect?

    I put 245,000 klms on my 2012 RSS only doing maintenance and replace worn out parts. You have nothing on yours as long as you maintain it

    I've got a bent front wheel - any idea where to buy a new one?

    If you're only buying the one OEM part, then getting it from a dealer of the manufacturer is your only bet, unless you have a bike wrecker nearby, and then you might get both front wheels.

    Need help with Gasket Identification for the Starter cover - any ideas?

    If you have the old one you can make a new one out of gasket material. Or you may have to use a liquid casket material, which you can get from most auto suppliers. I have used this on many older motors where you cannot find a gasket.

    Pulsating lights - anyone else had this problem and what was the cure?

    If the light is staying on when not moving it may be a loose connection in the lamp socket or a loose ground. If you have a tester you can track it down, but you will need to go through the circuit to the light to find out.

    Compile a list of BUDS owners who are willing to help, by location?

    Milage sometimes does not make a difference. If you are not using a high grade gas or your bike is sitting too much, it can come down to your fuel injectors, which may be fouling (try a good type of fuel injector cleaner and see if that helps), or your spark plugs may have fouled and need to be...

    Where do you get the fillable map that you can add to your signature line.

    I see that lots of people have the fillable maps that they use on their signature line? I used to have one but cannot find it anywhere. Thanks in advance

    Complete Newbie Experiences - 2021 RT Limited

    Everyone goes through this when they first ride a Spyder. I have ridden two wheels for 60 years and when I got on the Spyder I felt the same way you did. It took me about 100 klm to get used to it. I have found that if you relax, don't fight it, and lean a little into the curve works really...

    Bad Day at Black Rock - Anyone had any experiences with the Tow part of their Warranty?

    I always figured that even if you have a dealer tow, I also have a CAA or AAA membership. I had to get a tow to the dealership after my Ltd did not function properly, called CAA, they showed up in less than 30 minutes, and towed it to my dealership which is 27 miles away. No charge, no fuss.

    2014 Spyder RT Ltd missing at just above an idle - any recommendations, other than spark plugs?

    I had the same problem with misfiring, running terrible, etc. and this happened at 60,000 klm. I could not drive it as it shook so much. I had it transported to the dealer and everyone I spoke to in the service department and a friend of mine who is a mechanic all said to change the plugs. I...

    If I were to Buy an ST, what OEM parts should I get up front in case BRP stops making them?

    I had a 2012 RSS which I went to because of my leg and back, it had floor boards that made a slight improvement as you could move your feet around, but any time you had to use a brake or gears you still would have to move to the pegs to do anything. I did put 245,000 klm on it, but lost the use...
