• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

RT Owners Manual Online

The manual states that the ignition switch must be on for the hazard flashers to work. I asked Lamont about this when I read it, but he was in between RTs at the moment. I checked the demo, and the book is wrong. The hazard flashers work independent of the ignition (with the switch off), as they should, and as required by law. Same as on the GS/RS.

Hopefully there is a run-down protection feature built-in on that... cuz anyone could just come by and turn your flashers on and you could return hours later to a dead bike! That's always worried me.
 
Lamont--Thanks, man. It'll give me a headstart on getting familiar with the RT while I wait for my RT-S to come. In fact, you may have just given me my first Christmas present! :ohyea:

Yes, it is a worry with all vehicles, but especially bikes. Difference with cars is that you usually turn it on and lock the car, and the battery is bigger. On the other hand, the flashers are most often needed when the vehicle is not running or is not occupied, so I can't really argue with the reason of the law.

That's true. And with cars you don't have to worry about just anyone playing with all the little switches and stuff that are exposed on a bike. Just got to hope that it doesn't happen and people leave your stuff alone like they should. :gaah:
 
Thanks for posting the Manuel.

I guess I'm nuts, cuz I love manuels.
Everytime I read one, it always tells me something I don't know before.

Thanks Lamont for the RT Manual. So far I have read it several times, but the interestig thing is I had E-Mailed SPYDER TEAM on Nov 23 asking when they were going to post the RT Manual on there Site for the ones waiting for there new Toy. Received the below reply on 1 Dec from SPYDER TEAM.


""Greetings Dave,

I hope all is well.

At this time, we do not have any plans on putting the RT Operator's Manual online, but we'll look to see if this would be possible. With the number of pages, it might make it a difficult task.

We'll keep you posted.""

Best,
Spyder Team
