• 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.

    Sorry, BUT I'm OUT

    Well, darn it anyway. It's appearing that if an easily workable solution doesn't pop up soon we'll have to set this situation aside at solidgranite's request. I have the time, equipment and some $$$ to assist, but unfortunately, I live next to the wrong darn ocean.

    Sunday morning thinking out loud - on my Third Spyder, making the move from Two Wheels was a good choice for me!

    Boy, ain't that the truth. But you know some of us (old schoolers) just love to play around with those extra ponies.

    My 2016 RT-L - Planning on an Octane Research project

    I agree AndysF3S. These types of questions and research have all been asked and answered years ago. Nothing new here.

    Sorry, BUT I'm OUT

    My suggestion is to trailer solidgranite's spyder to Greenville for a proper diagnosis. If the repair costs are reasonable for that vintage machine, then we all can divvy up what solidgranite can't cover. JMHO

    If you are thinking what I'm thinking, I'll help donate some.

    Spyders are New to me, and the hitch prices have a huge variation - which way should I go? Recommend any hitches?

    HA! I found it! https://www.spyderlovers.com/attachments/img_1962-4-jpg.187597/ Looks like an easy build.

    What do you do for K&N Air Filter Cleaning? Use the Kit, or is there an easier/cheaper way?

    Monster Fuel Injection (Wick-It Performance) stage II ECU flash reccommends K&N filter for it's ability to allow freer flowing air. They also drill two 1" holes in your airbox cover to allow more air flow. Don't over think air filters. After all, your own air intake is within 3 feet of your...

    What windshield bug cleaner do you use?

    NEVER use paper towels! They put faint hairline scratches in plexiglass that can never be removed. Use an old cotton T-shirt that's been through the wash 100 times. Wet the windshield and allow it to set for a few minutes without drying out. JayBros has a great method. I'm going to try that.

    HELP: U-Haul Enclosed 6’x12’ - Anyone tried one? Any tips or tricks?

    Certainly, that's what friends are for: and they supply the beer. What comes around goes around, both good and bad.

    HELP: U-Haul Enclosed 6’x12’ - Anyone tried one? Any tips or tricks?

    After years of dealing with similar situations, here's the best tip & trick I can offer you. Buy an Aluma trailer with a folding ramp and be done with it. That trailer can be used for many other things besides safely hauling your spyder. And, you'll discover you have many more friends than you...

    What do you do for K&N Air Filter Cleaning? Use the Kit, or is there an easier/cheaper way?

    Soap and water, then let it dry thoroughly and spray lightly with oil. You can speed up the drying by installing the filter and allowing the spyder to run for a minute or so, then oil it, and you're done. https://www.google.com/search?then...

    Where should I invest first to improve stability - shocks or a stabilizer bar

    Do both, get your alignment checked, and relax your grip. Good luck.

    My MPG skyrocketed in ECO Mode - is ECO Mode really that much better?

    Now that's experience talking! Also, DON'T fuel up at these new stations that have the high velocity pumps. Use the older mom & pop stations with the older style pumps, where you can dribble in the gas and get an absolutely FULL tank. I add one gallon after the auto shut off. You can stuff...

    Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions on Rear brake pads replacing without taking off the tire on a 2012 RS-S?

    I remove the muffler and some of the brake fluid from the reservoir first. Mine is a 14 RT.

    Can anyone explain what aftermarket end links actually DO?

    I'm not surprised at all by why and how BRP chooses to install faulty items on their products. I'd place the blame on company bean counters rather than the techs and engineers. JMHO
