Now you guys have me wondering. I've noticed that when I leave work I put the windshield up while I'm on the access road getting onto the highway and the windshield buffets around quite a bit. Going...
I found that I was unconsciously tensing my back muscles and after a couple of hours felt like I'd gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson.
Got the BRP backrest to go with the stock seat and it makes a...
I can speak to the heat issue.
I had a 2008 and it often INDICATED that it was running hot by the bars on the dash, but it never overheated and never went into limp mode and I live in San Antonio...
My RT wish list:
- Upgraded stereo amp and speakers, we're talking another $50 and we could have decent speakers
- True blue tooth integration. And fix the iPhone 5S cable while you're at it
-...
You guys were all right. I wound up using the fade control on the handlebars to shift sound two notches to the rear and it sounded like there was an equal amount of sound coming out of both sets of...
Agree. I've run into endless problems with integrating my iPhone 5S with this thing and had to dig an old iPhone 3 for mobile music but around town I listen to the radio mostly and have found the...
I thought my passenger audio controls were broken as when listening to the radio, the left and right buttons allow you to go to the next radio station but up and down have no effect on volume from...
I've been pleased with my dealer so far and like them as good folks to do business with. They bolted the BRP Driver's Backrest on and let me ride it for several hundred miles before deciding to buy...
I have the stock seat and BRP driver's back rest and love it. I'm 5' 11 1/2 " and it works well for me and my wife. Agree with Texas above about the need for a heated seat. Granted we live in Texas...
Now that you're done with your speakers, come on out and do my Spyder!
I think I'd love some upgraded speakers and amp but would rather have the storage than the ginormous sub-woofer.
Great job!
I have a 2014 RT-S and an iPhone 5S with the exact same problem. The expensive Apple 30 pin to lightening connector won't do it for you. The issue is the BRP 9 pin to 30 pin adapter is only made for...
I realized the electronic parking brake is located in an easy to use area right next to other switches that you may use while in motion and I got to thinking, what happens if you accidentally hit the...
On a trip last weekend I must have smashed every bug in West Texas with my Spyder.
BTW, did you notice that the radiator scoops and covers for the 2014 RT-S is low and wide and perfect for sucking...
Agree. The Three Sisters is a great ride. Especially love the twistys north of Utopia. My wife an I took the new Spyder to San Angelo to visit the grand kids. It was a lot of highway miles but the...
Yes, I got a letter with a detachable card from BRP about 3 weeks after purchasing my Spyder. I put it in the ziplock bag where I keep registration and proof of insurance in case I need a tow or...
I posted this in the RT Section earlier then saw this thread active again and am hoping someone can help
I read all the posts related to iPhone integration but don't think they addressed...
Yes, I think that is what the problem is. My iPhone is the latest 5S and from what I've read, there is special circuitry in the cable to let it send data and charge. Even through I got an official...
I read all the posts related to iPhone integration but don't think they addressed specifically how you connect a 2014 RT-S to an iPhone 5S.
The RT-S came with the 9 pin to iPhone 4 cable. I went...
That's it! I ride mountain and road bikes and the triggers on the mountain bike are trigger to up shift and thumb to downshift. Going to be hard to unlearn that.
Yes, I wasn't sure I was going to like the SE6 transmission since that is the only one my dealer ever orders but now that I've used it a bit, I'm really loving it. I especially like downshifting two...
Daily commuter here. A brutal 4 miles to work ;) and with the new 2014 taking back roads, it just gets to operating temperature. On the way home, it is get on the highway, go down three stops and...
Now I'm very partial to Yellow. My favorite color. But at the dealer today, picking up my back rest, I saw a red RT and I must say, it was quite striking.
Owned too many red vehicles in my day,...
I've had my 2014 RT-S for only a couple of weeks and just went by the dealer to get my back rest and asked if they had the cable to connect my Spyder to the iPhone 5s but they didn't have it and the...
That is a very cool solution. Does it have additional heat shielding from the exhaust pipe? The other solution mentioned that heat from the exhaust can cook stuff quite a way back from it. Also, what...
Congrats!
And you got the correct color too! Love the yellow Spyders!
Only had the RT-S a week now and only 200 miles in mostly 70-80 degree weather. No noticeable heat problems yet.
Also, the 2014 with two radiators seems to dissipate engine heat much better than...
I did smell a little burnt rubber around the belt but that wasn't everything I'm smelling. I'll keep an eye (and a nose) out for it as it continues to break in.
Thanks to all
Got to take the new 2014 RT-S for a ride this morning in the Texas Hill Country. Sorry northern guys but it was sunny and 73 degrees. Perfect. Got a good 100 mile loop in going the back way up to...
Don't know. I only got to ride 39 miles or so home from the dealer last night on TX 46 through deer infested country at sunset so I was busy fiddling with buttons and watching out for deer. Got it up...
Armed with lots of info from this elite forum, I spoke to my dealer's lead tech last night when picking up my Spyder and I specifically asked if the 2014s needed an after market belt tensioner and he...
