• 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.

    A word about octane --

    91 Octane During the rally in Valcourt, we were in the Can Am testing facility. The tech who was demonstrating their dyno said the bike is built for 91 octane. Lower you get knocking, which is mitigated by the engine retarding its ignition point. Higher contributes nothing.

    what screen works best to stop wind buffeting

    Cal Scientific I have the Cal Scientific, as I have had on 3 previous 2 wheelers, and find it offers great protection and minimal buffeting.

    Finding 12 volts on a 2014 RT

    I have a Garmin Zumo from my previous bike that I would like to carry over to the Spyder. All I need is 12 volts. We use Sena headsets so bluetooth takes care of the audio. I see there is a 5 amp, switched ACC fuse, but I have no idea where the wire is, that it feeds.

    towing the spyder

    Towing an RT I spent a good while last summer trying one-way options with U-Haul. Too wide for any of the 4 wheel trailers with ramps because the opening is narrower than the trailer bed. I still think the two dolly with the Spyder belt removed would be a good idea. However U-Haul will only...

    Towing a 2014 RT

    Towing an RT Thanks. In hind sight I should have accepted your offer. As it was, we ran out of time and just drove back to Maryland leaving the Spyder in the garage. We live in Palmetto and are spending the next two months living on our boat near Annapolis (We spent the previous two months...

    Towing a 2014 RT

    Towing an RT For those who might come across this thread later attempting to tow their Spyder, I will close it out. Simply, I could not do it using U-Haul equipment. As reported in one of the postings above, U-Haul does have a 6x12 trailer without ramp in which the Spyder will fit, but...

    Towing a 2014 RT

    Towing an RT Thanks. It seemed like the perfect solution to me as the rear wheel will be completely disconnected from the drive train. After looking at your web site, it looks like I will be able to ride over to Daytona Beach, when I get back to FL in October, and correct any alignment...

    Towing a 2014 RT

    Towing an RT Wow, very nice offer. However, I think the car dolly will be the perfect way to tow, since one can completely disconnect the drive train from the rear wheel. And, the reply right after yours, confirms my view that this idea will work. Thanks very much for the kind offer. John

    Towing a 2014 RT

    Do you remember the model of the trailer? They have a 6'x12' with a ramp, but there are side pieces on the back that restrict the opening to 57" and my Spyder is 62"

    Towing a 2014 RT

    I want to tow my RT from Florida to Maryland to use it for the summer. It is too wide to fit into any of the U Haul trailers. I could buy a trailer that would work, but have no place to store it. Can I use a car dolly? I would remove the drive belt and tow the Spyder with the front wheel on...
