Picked up the 2018 RT L

[stmike 1800]

Picked up the new spyder testerday,got just over 100 miles on it .Like it so far ,very expensive atv ,and i find i drive it as one . The new dash is a pain,took an hr just to set the presets. I find the radio has poor reception ,stations come in weak ,and when driving can not hear it .Grabbed for the front brake lever more than once . The wife likes it so that is a + .The weather has turned cold so time to start adding stuff.

on your new ryde. Hopefully, the dash issues will diminish as time goes by. That issue seems to be at the forefront currently.

that dash "thing" ? That's why I went with a 17.
If this is your first Spyder, you might tread lightly on farkles at first.
you will have a much better idea of what you want/need, in a couple thousand miles.
You can take comfort in knowing that none of the RTs keep time, or have a very whoopee audio system.
The whole infotainment thing is over-thought and too complicated.
It's a motorcycle not an arcade game.
Stay safe out there. and let's ryde this summer.

on your new ride. The spyder will take some getting used to. It will take approximately 300 to 500 miles (will vary) to get used to for those of us who came from 2 wheels. Good luck and enjoy your new ride. Dale

I am not adding to much right now at lest .I ordered a brp back rest,and a cover .What i am trying to do is get things to work ,that brp has made very difficult .Adding my 550 zumo,brp put the aux in the fronk and no power handy.

here are some points that pi@@ me off
No aux were it should be
need an adapter to add the phone ,and the cord is in the same stupid place as the aux
no plug in head set ,need to buy blue tooth set
the only way to hear the radio in the garage is to hold onto the antenna
the suit case is not in the 2018
cruise control is very primitive ,no + or -

I have had lots and lots of brp sleds ,and as of late the same thing has been with them. BRP takes every thing off they can and then put it in the acc catalog ,and the price off the acc is very over priced .Go on dootalk there is lots off post on this very topic.
