• 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.

    Serious Question about Summer Riding

    I wear a modular helmet and when it is extremely hot I wear a camelback. I fill the camelback with ice and water it helps cool me off for about 2 1/2 hours. When I stop for lunch I get ice from the soda machine and fill the camelback up with ice and water. It serves two purposes. Whenever...

    Anyone gone from a GL1800 trike to a 1330 RT SE6

    I rode a 2 wheel GL1800 and switched to the Can Am because I had two knee surgeries and I love it. I have a friend who went from a 2003 California sidecar GL1800 to a 14 RT Limited. He had had several shoulder surgeries and had not be able to ride his trike for over a year. He rode my Can Am...

    Mobil 1 Usability?

    Mobil 1 makes a good synthetic motorcycle oil. It is Mobil 1 Racing 4T fully synthetic motorcycle oil. As the previous post stated just make sure you use the right grade of oil. Newer oils intended for automobiles contain moly and it will ruin a clutch in a hurry. As long as you stay with 4...

    Does anyone know the current dealer cost of a 2014 RT Limited and any promotions?

    I was in the same boat also. Three weeks ago I purchased a 2014 RT limited. My cost was in the same ballpark. IMHO you can spend a lot more money on the 2013 and it will never be as nice as the 14 and in the end you will be out even more money. I love the 14. It is everything I thought I...

    DESS

    The fix only applies to the 13s. The 14s already had the fix incorporated into them and they have the new style fuse covers.

    You can purchase an Apple lightning adapter cable that will mate the newer equipment to the old style adapter.

    Did the Newest Software Tweak Fix The Heat on the 2013's?

    I am sorry to hear that. BRP needs to step up and resolve the heat issues. Clearly this is not being caused by overfilling the tank. I am afraid to pull mine into the garage until it has cooled completely as I don't want it to catch fire and burn my house down.

    Did the Newest Software Tweak Fix The Heat on the 2013's?

    You may be right but when you pay this much you should not have spend a lot more money and time to fix BRP's design flaws. I have ridden several Hondas and never had to do anything except regular maintenance. BRP needs to get it's act together and make this right.

    Did the Newest Software Tweak Fix The Heat on the 2013's?

    I had the update performed two weeks ago. My Spyder runs much better. It is definitely smoother and feels more peppy. I am always careful when I fill the tank. I took a 200 mile ride yesterday. Temperature was in the upper 70s. My seat was getting uncomfortably hot the last 50 miles and...

    You might want to consider using wired headsets. Of course there are advantages and disadvantages to both wired and Bluetooth. With wired headsets there is no need to recharge and no need to pack a charger on a several day road trip. The trade off is that you have to plug your cables in and...
