• 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.

    F3T BRP Heated Grip

    I will have to check now, my 2015 RT has the heated grips and seat and I think the light goes out when they are turned off. It has two levels only use high when it is real cold and I need to warm up. I just have to get the snow blower out of the way.

    Any riders in Boston or nearby? I'm thinking of buying

    I'm west of the 495 and on the border with NH. Work in Manchester NH, will be riding up here as much as I can, road today. 2015 RT, picked it up last October. It was a demo unit, so it came with a few extras. I have seen a number of :spyder2: on the road up here and down around RT119. My wife is...

    Ceramic Blanket

    This may not be the same, but my wife's intruder's pipes would get so hot she could not ride it at times. Looked into raps, but ended up bypassing the catalytic converter. For her this did the trick. I have seen here on a thread or two people talking about doing the same thing on their...

    Has the nanny learned to play nice with LEDs on the 2015?

    The resister has to be in parallel to fix the hyper flash. The LEDs don't pull as much current as the bulb. The common turn signals are around 24 watts, so 2 amps for a 12V system. The LEDs draw maybe 1/4 of that so 0.5 amp. The math says 6 to 8 ohms at 50 watts. The high wattage on the resister...

    Dash Goes blank and engine won't start?!

    I would also check the charging system. You said you were just out on a ride, so it should have put some energy back into the battery. The battery could be bad, but if the charging is not working you'll just have this happen again real soon.

    Tri-axis handlebars

    I would say the dealer, but I would also say try a bike with them on first. I got a demo model that had them already installed. Still not sure I would have gone that route if they were not already there.

    A little help

    If this is the only extra electrical you are adding to your bike, you could wire it to the input of one of the other switches. USB, in general, is very low current and should have no real effect on the other load. But if you want to do it right I would get a switched fuse box and come off of it...

    how to turn off the kill switch?

    Depending on where you live, and if you need a State inspection. Having it disabled could fail your bike and force you to get it enabled again before you can ride it.

    Installing the Baja Ron Sway Bar on a 2015 RT

    What is the advantage of putting the new sway bar on a 2015 RT? I have seen it come up again and again, but my bike seems to handle fine to me. It may be me still getting use to the difference from 2 wheels to 3.

    2015 rt limited vib or shudder question.

    I got my demo RT in October of 2015. Had to have them balance the tires as it had a vibration at highway speeds. Noticed it during the test drive, so I got it done before I took it home.

    changing from two wheels to three

    I just got my spyder in October 2015. Had been on 2 wheels till my knees started going on me. Road with a voyager on my Nomad, but felt out of control in corners and could not tell if the back wheels were crossing the center line. Test road a traditional trike and a spyder on the same roads. I...

    Smell from bike, and it's not me....

    Thank you, I will have to check the cat the next time I get to take it out. With the change in the weather up here, that may not be for awhile.

    Smell from bike, and it's not me....

    I have a 2015 RT with about 1300 miles on it. At the end of the ride there is a smell like rubber, or at lest that is what I think it smells like. I asked the deal and he said it was a coating on the exhaust. I still worry if it is the belt, which to me looks too tight. Any thoughts?
