• 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.

    Oil Leak on 2023 RTL caused by oil filter cap O-ring...

    A friend brought over his 2023 RTL to have me look for the source of his oil leak. He had noticed some oil drops on his garage floor. What with him riding the Spyder, and oil covering a lot of the engine and lower side of the bike, I knew it wouldn't be easy. I started by removing all of the...

    Anyone tried a/mkt Heated pads for a 2011 RT-S?

    We added a heated pad to our 2021 F3L, and I know of at least two others that have done the same. Two of the three had them added by Seth Lamm while having other improvements made to their seats, and the other had it added by an automotive upholstery shop. All three riders love the heated seat...

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    For my two cents worth, I'm with Doug. Keep in mind that immediately after start, the alternator is probably at it's highest demanded load. The battery has been heavily discharged from starting, all systems powered through the load shed relay come alive, and "most" of us want to immediately...

    2019 F3 T - How to access the bolt on the front of the rear caliper? Exhaust and brackets are in the way.

    Try a universal joint socket. Works for me!

    Annoyingly, my '21 RTL will only cancel Cruise by touching the brake pedal or downshifting - are there any other ways?

    The roll-the-throttle-forward feature started on the 2024 model year. Not just for cruise control disengagement, but also for reverse gear selection. You can override the windshield movement on shutdown.

    How did I mess this up?!!! Removed the frunk to do some work, ran the Spyder with it off, & now have all sorts of warnings & Limp Home Mode!! Help?!

    Worst case is you'll need BUDS to clear faults...

    I have a dead 2023 RT, no electrics except lights - any thoughts?

    Have you checked the main relays in the left fuse box?

    How Many Ride an RT Limited After The 5 years Of BRP Warranty Has Expired?

    People put too much emphasis on the warranty years. In 2020 I traded in my 2015 RTL on a new 2020RTL. Since this was in the covid era and sales were way down, BRP offered 3 extra years of warranty. Sounded like a good deal except that I do all my own work, and in the fine print, the warranty was...

    Does anybody have a photo or sketch of how the Springs on the Stop light switch subject to the recall should look/be fitted, please?

    The dealership "could" get in trouble if they claimed they changed the switch and performed the recall. If you can confirm that the recall was cleared and the switch was not changed, I would certainly get in touch with someone at BRP, the dealership owner, and perhaps the NHTSB...

    Anyone have a pic of an RT S2S backrest retaining clip fitted in position on the underside of the seat?

    Here you go! In the darker photo, the latch is in the forward, unlocked position. If you look rearward, you'll see two ramps. The side lobes of the latch handle will ride up those ramps and drop down to lock this handle. When you want to release the backrest, you need to simultaneously lift the...

    Pre 2020 RT owners - can you stand up while riding?

    As stated above, yes, you can stand up while riding. One thing to be aware of though, is that the pre-2020 RT's have a "breakaway" right side floorboard. It is supposed to "only" breakaway with excessive brake pedal effort, but can give way under severe stress such a standing your weight on it...

    Done - Rear Tire Replacement on my 2020 RT!

    For some added confidence and cheap insurance, I run a piece of masking tape over the adjusters from the top to the bottom of the swingarm just to make sure they can't slide out or turn.

    2024 RT Limited 'Suspension Fault' messages flashing on the screen - suspension compressor or no?

    The valve is your only easy way to remove air pressure from a working system. The main reason for the ACS system is not for ride comfort. That is the job of springs and shock absorbers, stock or otherwise. The ACS system on your Spyder is mainly to control and maintain proper ride height. This...

    Does anyone know of/have a fog light bracket to mount lights here?

    I'm not aware of any brackets made to mount there. That would be a very harsh area to mount any lights, since they would be subject to all road impacts since it is below the shocks...

    Does anybody have a photo or sketch of how the Springs on the Stop light switch subject to the recall should look/be fitted, please?

    It would be possible except for the fact that the wiring from the switch to its' disconnect is tie-wrapped much higher up on the side behind the black panel.

    Can the Passenger Back Rest on a 2025 S2S be moved forward a few inches? Not the whole trunk, just the backrest...

    I agree with the recommendations to remove the backrest and take it to an automotive upholsterer. We did just that and came away with a "custom" backrest that now has lumbar support. Since this was a professional shop, they were able to completely reshape the padding and reuse the original vinyl...

    No Passenger Grip Heater Switch on '22 RT S2S - was the shortage on the grips, or just the switch? What do I need to make the heaters work?

    I have seen these models both ways you mentioned. Some were only missing the switch and some didn't have the heated handles installed. If you remove the passenger seat, you should be able to see if there are wires coming from the handles, in which case you only need the switch...

    Anyone know of a Seat protector for 2024 Sea to Sky to prevent scratches, but still allow heat?

    Check with Ultimate Seats. Years ago when buying one of their seats, you had the option of buying their "rain cover". The cover was made of Tyvek type material very similar to Frogg Toggs raingear. The covers had an elastic band that was very effective at keeping them on the seat.
