• 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.

    Daylight Saving Time - Make sure to adjust your Spyder clocks - Spring Ahead!

    Update, time didn't stay fixed. Went out today and it was wrong, once I plugged my phone it, it was right. Unplugged phone, back to wrong. So I had to go into settings and actually fix it. Assuming it was just the CarPlay clock that was right by pulling from my phone, not the internal Spyder...

    Daylight Saving Time - Make sure to adjust your Spyder clocks - Spring Ahead!

    Still playing with the new one, and when I went out for a tiny ride yesterday I noticed it was incorrect, but after I got home and plugged my phone in to play with the Car Play settings and add my helmet and whatnot, it reset automatically. Not sure if it stayed set, but I'll check that on the...

    What are you listening to?

    I have pretty varied taste. Several hundred songs downloaded from the old iPod days, and I add anything that catches my ear. Typically it's Country, Classic Rock and Metal, but not the thrasher death metal. But my daily listening depends on my mood. Today I was on a Lincoln Park kick, yesterday...

    Any Help or Tricks for getting the trunk off rear cover on/off? Is it normally this hard??

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! The silicone spray was the "trick". Gave it a little squirt on the hook, and the cover just slid on. Tried to take it back off, and just a tiny tug and popped right off. No removing the back seat or any weird contortions for leverage. You guys are the best.

    Any Help or Tricks for getting the trunk off rear cover on/off? Is it normally this hard??

    Thanks, that option did cross my mind too. When it's not -17 and I venture back outside I'll give these suggestions a try, but it does sound like it's not my technique, but really is a tight fit.

    Any Help or Tricks for getting the trunk off rear cover on/off? Is it normally this hard??

    Yup, that's the document I have, but it didn't have any of the P2 clips or badging. Only the cover itself. Not too worried about the badge, I was going to remove it anyway for something more personalized, but I'll have to ask the dealership about the clips - if they are important. I got the...

    Any Help or Tricks for getting the trunk off rear cover on/off? Is it normally this hard??

    OK, feeling a little stupid here. I've removed the back trunk and I've gotten the cover for the back. But are there any tricks to getting it on and off? I wouldn't have thought it was that complicated. Line up the hooks and snap it down. However, I really have to put some serious muscle behind...

    2019 Spyder RT Ltd Won’t Connect to New iPod

    I have been fighting with the electronics since I picked up the bike in February. I feel your pain. The iPod does not pair to the bike via bluetooth or at least not that I can figure out. You have to plug it in to the aux port and just listen to the songs. I can't get mine to have any control...

    Has anyone installed this homelink garage door remote?

    OK, if this is the wireless one that has the 10 year non replaceable battery I can chime in with my experiences with my 2018 RT Limited. 1. it will not fit in the center spot, that has a round hole not rectangular 2. it will be slightly too deep and bottoms out. 3. it will snap into the...

    HowTo: What is optimal set-up for Phone/helmet/BRP/iPod

    OK, so I've ridden a while and played with all the buttons, but I'm not sure I have all the bluetooth / aux / and phone connections completely proper for optimal use. Here is what I'm hoping to accomplish somehow. View a map on the dash, it doesn't even need to speak directions, just show me...

    1330cc Shifting Issues

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll keep working on my techniques. Main take-away suggestions, close the throttle when down and keep it steady when upshifting, and less worrying about downshifting manually. I love the new ride, but it's such a giant upgrade, I've got some retraining of my...

    1330cc Shifting Issues

    No, not spirited yet. However I do notice when I let it downshift itself, it makes a loud clunking noise, and is really jerky. I can time my downshifts to be much smoother than the auto system. I’m still in the learning stage, and 15 years of manual shifting is proving to be a hard reflex to...

    1330cc Shifting Issues

    Following this post. I had an issue on my first real ride today, and was wondering if it's a mechanical issue I need to get looked at, or operator error. Did I do something wrong? I was on the freeway this morning and stop-and-go traffic, I was downshifting, and miscounted the downshifts, (I...

    Will connecting iPod to SAE drain my battery?

    Tried searching, and didn't find anything that answers what I'm trying to do. I have a 2018 RT Limited with the aux and USB in the front. I use the USB for my phone/navigation with the BRP connect, however, I prefer to use my old iPod for music only. I have it connected to the aux, and it...
