2013 RT-S

:riding:

The back-up key that was purchased at the dealership, and encoded by them, has twice lost the code. Anyone else have this problem? Is it better to order an encoded key directly from BRP, and is this...

I upgraded the seat when I purchased the Spyder new, and I was required by the dealer to purchase both seats. Nothing new to most of you, I'm sure, but I was surprised. Seems a stupid question to ask...

I use an app called Witness on my RAM mounted iPhone while riding. It records video loops continuously and will lock the video when the iPhone G-sensor detects an accident. Works very well. There's...

You're in a really nice area to ride. I stopped often to take pictures to show family and friends, and I did this mostly because I was surprised. I'd not heard beforehand how beautiful that area is....

I heard a squeaking noise after picking up the Spyder from the mechanic, and I decided to investigate when I got home. I took off a few panels and discovered that a screw was missing from a panel...

Congrats, Bryan, on the new Spyder. The backrest was an important upgrade for me, so I added the Utopia seat at the purchase. I love it. I noticed you have a comm system. Which one? Do you like it?

Your Spyder runs a lot cooler than mine. Hopefully the changes I plan to make will lower the temperature. :pray:

What's "BUDS" WasWinger? I normally shift above 5k RPM and cruise at the same because it's what feels right. I'm glad to know that this is within the range suggested by BRP. I'm curious about the...

Thanks, Kenn, for that thorough explanation. I believe that the heat source is coming from the exhaust, given its proximity to the metal plate the footboard and footrest are attached to. That metal...

I'm glad that you only had that recall issue to deal with. BRP is lucky to have such a loyal customer in you. Safe riding. :thumbup:

Thanks again for that information. You responded to another of my posts with that suggestion, and I described in reply how the heat I'm referring to is not from the radiator opening. I also indicated...

His and her Limited Spyders! Totally cool setup! That type of traveling is our goal in retirement. Thanks and best of luck in your travels.

My wife and I plan our travel with these priorities: gas mileage, butt comfort, and locations that are going to have decent overnight and food options. Her 90-mile limit (two-wheeled motorcycle)...

The 2013 RT-S I purchased includes the floor boards, heated grips (front and rear), fog lights, and probably something else I'm not remembering now. I added an Ultimate seat with a backrest and the...

After having been shocked by the only so-so effectiveness of the recall modifications, and having gotten angry about what I face having to do on my own dime, I've determined what I can do myself and...

Yes, I've considered installing the 2014 grill, and I've considered cutting holes in the under plates and skid-guard plastic so that I can put a metal sheet behind that 2014 grill and completely...

I had the recall work done last Wednesday and then rode several hundred miles over four days in temperatures ranging from the upper 60s to the high 90s. A few weeks ago I had to put up with excessive...

I couldn't remember the model number off the top of my head. I wanted the 665 model because of the advanced features (weather, traffic, XM radio, etc.), but the dealer told me the mounting hardware...

Thanks, Bob. I had a Garmin 650 installed in the handlebar cradle when I purchased the Spyder but didn't mention that in my question. The audio feed is worth investigating. It may be worth the effort...

Your posts have made me excited to see the difference. My service will be done this week. I'm still getting cooked, but it hasn't stopped me from riding.

Any idea why there's an additional micro USB and audio jack under the driver's right-hand panel, located on the side about where the backrest is and zip-tied to the frame? They're on a 2013 RT-S, and...

My wife and I use the UClear 200 model for helmet-to-helmet and bike-to-bike communication, and we like the quality. After thousands of miles of test rides we encountered our first problem, and it...

Dare I bring up one of the most basic necessities . . . butt comfort. ;)

Thank you for that well stated reply. As a new Spyder owner I'm just beginning to get the feel for the way she moves. And I've ridden other motorcycles of varying sizes (250 to 1800cc) enough to have...

Would someone tell me why the Spyder was not designed to lean? Is parallel suspension less stable or is it simply too difficult to engineer. I'm referring to the type on some that do:
