Thanks! My head being bashed about is the only thing I don't like about the ride. I'm debating waiting a couple months to see what's announced for the new models before going forward with a trade in....

You're speaking my language! The 2012 didn't have the floor boards so I tend to ride with my toes on the pegs, which with long legs gives a fairly ear, shoulder, hip, heel position, not too...

Thanks for the feedback so far. I updated my OP. My complaints about the wind and air stem aren't the reason for trading in. I just wanted to include info on what I have now and what issues I have. ...

Hi! I've been pretty quiet here lately for multiple reasons and all long stories. But, in interested in trading in my 2012 RT-S. I've added the Baja Ron sway bar, spyder pops critter splitter,...

Which helmet are you using Bob? That's a super quiet ride! :) Thanks for the video.

Thanks all!

Per a suggestion here I checked the dealers list and they were no longer on it so I started to freak out even more. I called BRP Customer Service at 888-272-9222 and they confirmed...

Would you agree with this video on how to jump a 2012? And, will the battery tender pigtail cause any problems? (I can't run out and look at mine or I would)

At spyder fest 2 years ago my cluster started acting strange and would cycle on and off while I was riding. The BRP guys there had nothing to contribute so, I rode it to Pitbull and they ran it...

Thanks guys. I was hoping this was something I could check/fix since my dealer is over an hour away in Baltimore. But it sounds like I'd be better off going up there and having them futz around with...

This started two years ago at the 2013 SpyderFest. I took it to Pittbull and they ran BUDS but couldn't find anything. Last week I had the spyder serviced (regular maintenance) and it's doing it...

Oops, I didn't realize this thread was that old. Perhaps someone else has some more ideas, now?

Yikes, so my 2012 RT was doing this out at SpyderFest this year but the CanAm guys had no clue and neither did Pittbull. When hooked up to BUDs everything was normal.

Yesterday on a 40 mile...

On the highway I get much better mileage than I do tooling around "town". You can see my fuelly stats here:

I was getting 30-34 on the way...

Are you all on mobile devices? Tapatalk is an app for forums. Usually just saying no once removes the prompt. Sorry if it's misbehaving for you. :(

Thanks all! I figured but, wanted to do a little sanity check first. :)

Hey all, I did search but there are a ton of posts about GloRyders. Do you all remove them before going in for service? Because the GloRyders block the lugnuts I assume you do or, does the service...

Let me know if you have a long service planned down there, I'll come with my car and drag you to a movie or something (there actually are stores and stuff down there but you have a few miles to go...

Bummer! I was planning to go but I'm working today (taking a little break to visit SL and post this.)

I've had service done at Pete's Cycles in Baltimore, they sounds similar to Coleman's but the...

Yeah I lost both of my races on my stock RT and I was faster than the posted time, both times.

I already commented on the gas mileage thing but wanted to mention a bit more about my using CC in mountains.

So, prior to this trip I never really used the CC. I don't really use it in my car...

I had the ultimate seat (tall boy, I'm 6') installed but it made me sit up too high and even with the windshield all the way up (2012 RT-S) I was getting major buffeting at highway speeds. I was...

This sounds like what happened to me on the way to SF.

From MD to Cuba, MO I was fine. We were about 40 miles from SF, in the rain when the spyder flashed LIMP and then DPS. I pulled over,...

I don't understand how that is mechanically possible?

I used cruise for about 1100 miles on the way home from spyder fest up and down mountains for a good bit of it too, I was getting what I think...

+1 Cooling down. Tink, tink, tink.

Bullant, as others mentioned the electric hum is something different and that will happen as every time the key is turned off.

I'm right there with you! I was looking at the Calsci windshields but have started hearing good things about the BRP windshields, now.

Even with the '12 stock shield all the way up I get...

I'm standing by, too! A trip to NC might be in order this summer/fall! I liked the Ultimate seat but it raised me up too high and that caused massive buffetting. I'm looking at windshield options...

hehe and a LOL that the USDA approved feeding method is a broom stick and gutter. ;)

Haha yeah at SpyderFest some people asked me how old I was. Well, I'm 29. When they didn't say anything I asked why and they said they were trying to figure out who was the youngest. At that time I...
