• 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.

    Blackstone Results for Amsoil 5W40 Metric Oil in my 2022 RT S2S

    Just received my results back from my very first oil analysis. My buddy is a Amsoil dealer, so I thought I'd try some Amsoil 5w40 Metric Motorcycle oil in my machine. BRP does call for 5w40, and I am generally a 10w40 user. It states viscosity is low, unrelated to fuel. It basically sheared down...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Removed the baffle from my RLS cat delete. Running it with my OEM muffler. Not really any difference between baffle in/out re: noise level.

    Anyone have any audio of an RLS Cat delete with a Shark rumble?

    It will be loud. I'd try the RLS cat delete/no baffle with your OEM muffler first. You just might like it.

    Looking for feedback on Using Cardo vs Sena on a Shoei GT Air III?

    Yup... Over the years, I've had multiple Sena units. Recently, I switched to try a Cardo Freecom 4x. I'm never going back to Sena.

    Why has the Mid-West become a Spyder Rally Wasteland???

    Geographically speaking, is Indiana really mid west? I hear that about Wisconsin and I chuckle. Me personally, I consider WY, CO, NM, OK, KS, NE, SD, ND, TX and MT to be true mid west 😆

    Anyone going back and forth from their Spyder to a motorcycle?

    I ride both. The Spyder is my tourer/cooler weather machine and my Husqvarna 401 Svartpilen is my local blast around/hot weather machine. No issues confusing the controls. It was an occasional issue between my past F3S and H-D bagger though. :)

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Changed the oil and filter. I had 5900 miles on the Amsoil 5w40 metric motorcycle oil. I sent a sample off to Blackstone to have it analyzed. Put in some on hand Castrol R Power 10w50 full syn m/c oil and Baja Ron oil filter kit (K&N filter).

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Decided to remove my Two Brothers carbon fiber muffler and put the OEM secondary muffler back on. Wanted to try a little quieter sound. Still running it with a RLS cat delete/baffle in. Oh yeah, that OEM muffler is a boat anchor!!! :)

    How to DIY - Install a Shad 44 top case on a 22 F3S

    Back when my past F3S was also my touring machine, I used a Lamonster Pack Rack and generic 80L case. It carried a crap ton :)

    Large Power Sport Dealer ditches Spyders

    One would think that they could service anything if not under BRP. They could get parts from other BRP dealers..
