• 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.

    Cowtown Performance Tune Added

    I also had the performance package from Cowtown put on my 2010 RT recently, and I'm very satisfied with it. The elka shocks were a huge difference (still had the original 2010 shocks on it), the new muffler while a deeper tone is not much louder. The new body pieces look sharp, especially the...

    Touring Advice for New Ryder

    I have 2 quart sized bottles with insulated sleeves. In the motel each night fill both bottles with ice, top off with bottled water, then freeze one, regular refrigerator section for the other. While riding keep my iphone in the rear compartment between the two bottles to keep the phone cooler...

    arkansas

    I wouldn't trust Bradford for anything spyder related. I have had two very negative experiences, one with the sales person, the other with the "techs". Note this is with the dealer in Springdale, don't know anything about the other locations. just my 2 cents.

    RT-Performance

    Saw the silver in person on saturday, it's very sharp. I especially like the ram air scoops being body color, and the dash was sweet. Can't wait to do some of that to mine.

    Brake failure

    I've had this happen multiple times, for me it was the brake cable jumping off the cam up front. Others on the board have reported the same thing. if when you engage the break you can hear the electric motor kick in, then it may be the same thing. To fix it will require taking off some of the...

    The daily Adventures of a 2010 RT-S SE5 Ryder in the Mid-West

    I too have lost my parking space at work. For the last couple of months only one other bike at work, and one of the big cones blocking off the cycle parking got knocked down. I was just able to squeeze the :spyder: into the space. So Ive gotten used to parking up front. But with the weather...

    I think this was one of the stops Gene lead us to last year after a BBQ at Cowtown. Was a good ride, very nice area.

    So, I paid inside for gas and when I came outside my Spyder was gone...

    I wouldn't get too comfortable with the electric brake on the RTs. Mine had to be adjusted last week (thank you Gary!), was so stretched out the end was popping off the cam and would get a "brake failure" error. So I ended up carrying around a rock to chock the wheels for several days.

    rough idle

    I am getting ready

    I've had no problem with hills, but as others pointed out the spyder really likes the higher RPMs. There have been several times I hit 70, turned on cruise, only to find out a few minutes later I was still in 4th gear.
