I installed an XM receiver in the glove box of my 2018 RTL. I pulled 12V from the unused accessory fuse and connected the audio output to the AUX plug with a 3.5 mm male to male barrel connecter. I...

I had problems with the stock antenna supplied with my Onyx XM radio, mounted to the top of the trunk on my 2018 RTL. Since most of my rides are with my wife as a passenger, I noticed signal loss in...
Has anyone had experience with Kenda K9's compared to the original stock Kendas? I am just about due for a new rear tire on my 2018 RTL, and am considering the K9 as a replacement.
Our 2018 RTL replaced our GL1800 Goldwing for two-up touring, but I still ride my H-D Road King solo almost every day.
Very well said.
I Have owned over 30 motorcycles in the 50+ years I been riding, starting with a Honda S-90. Most were Japanese bikes including several Goldwings. I sold the last Goldwing, a GL1800, about 4 years...
I posted regarding the installation of the XM "Onyx" radio on my 2018 RT Ltd several months ago. The most time consuming part of the installation was removing plastic body panels to run wiring.
I...
My first Spyder, a 2012 RT LTD was Lava Bronze. IMHO, the most beautiful color ever offered by BRP.
That Yarnell ride is a good one. I used to do that quite often when I lived in the Valley. It would be a long ride from here in Payson. We used to stop at the Ranch House at the top of the hill for...
Rode that route many times over the years on two wheels, but I don't think I've ever done it on the Spyder. Enjoy!!

Find it on Map! Sorry for the redundant posts.
Hey Dave, I feel your pain. Back (50+) years ago when I was in high school, I broke my leg on a motorcycle. Even though the break was in the tibia between the ankle and the knee, I was put in a full...
I've owned several Goldwings, and the wife and I have put a lot of miles on them. Just like the Beemer (I love the RT's), the Goldwings do feel heavy at low speeds. A couple years ago I found myself...
I had the same problem , multiple times, with my 2018 RT Limited. I finally took it to the dealer who replaced the cable and actuator motor under warranty. So far, so good. However, I recently ran...
Like Gwolf I started on a Honda S-90 at 16, followed by a Honda 305 Superhawk within a year. I graduated in '67 and at last count I've owned around 30 motorcycles.
I have a 2018 RT Limited and find the 6 speaker audio system to be quite adequate. With the ambient auto audio volume increase feature on I get plenty of volume at freeway speeds.
I just came back from the Progressive IMS in Long Beach, Ca. BRP was not there. However most of the major MC manufacturers were there ie; Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Royal Infield, & H-D. Most...
I just saw the movie "Midway" and highly recommend it. I'm sure there was some artistic license in this film, but it does give you an idea of what that generation faced, and the sacrifices they were...
I work at a GMC / Chrysler dealership, and Ex Winger is right. Most of the time, especially with warranty work, the tech looses on book time. The one situation where they are able to make it up, is...
I'm 70 years old riding on two wheels since I was 16. At last count, I've owned 30 motorcycles, including 6 Goldwings and 2 Harley Road kings. Over the years the wife and I put a lot of miles on the...
Awhile back, I was coming down out of the mountains where we live, when I got caught in a torrential downpour. There was so much water being thrown up from the tires under the front fenders, it...
Speaking of H-D's, Last week I was out for a ride on the Road King, and ran over something (I didn't see) in the road that flipped up and bent a frame cross member under the engine and punched a hole...
Last year I bought a beautiful, like new, 2012 RT LTD with less than 4,000 original miles. after about 200 miles it started throwing the P0714 code, which is related to a lean condition. I took it to...
With my unit (I think it is called an Onyx) hardwired via AUX, the volume is very linier from stopped to 75 - 80 mph. Maybe you could try hardwiring your phone with a patch cord.
I have a 2018 RT LTD. My XM Radio is paired with the audio system via the AUX connection. When I first installed it, the volume was quite weak. Two things I did that really increased the volume were:...
Here's what I posted on another thread yesterday: My 2018 RT LTD did this at about 6500 miles, just as we were leaving on a an 800 mile trip. I disconnected the cable with the above mentioned 12mm...
The sound system on my 2018 RT Ltd is great. I installed an XM satellite radio that I run through the AUX setting. With the current firmware update (I believe it is 20.8) and the ambient auto volume...
My 2018 RT LTD did this at about 6500 miles, just as we were leaving on a an 800 mile trip. I disconnected the cable with the above mentioned 12mm wrenches, threw some small blocks of wood in the...
Great day for a ride in Payson, Az.
I've had over thirty 2 wheeled motorcycles in the 50+ years I've been riding. That includes several Goldwings that the wife and I put a lot of miles on. However, with advancing age (I'm now 70) I no...
