• 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.

    Power and Economy

    Well since we have gotten off the subject of power and economy I will say one last thing. I have been a automotive mechanic for 41 years and yes the spyder shares some of the things like ABS,VSS and other electronics but to compare it to a car is :cus: ! I am not telling any one to go buy a...

    Power and Economy

    I don't think that when BRP designed the RT that they wanted you to rev up the engine and drop the clutch so you could smoke the rear tire. We ride double 90% of the time and have no problem with the low end power. If you want to ride something with lots of power get a CBR 1000. The RT is just...

    Low fuel indicator light

    My light comes on just as the needle reaches the red band. I went 156 miles on 4.8 gal. Thats 32.5 MPG not bad riding two up on a spyder with only 600 miles on it. Should get a little better when the motor gets broke in. :2thumbs:

    DPS limp

    Our 2011 went into limp mode and DPS warning came on at 110 miles on it. The dealer thought it must have just been a connection problem. They rechecked all the connectors and cleared the codes. We now have 600 miles and haven't had any more problems. This DPS concern seems to be showing up on...

    Heated seats

    Trust me in Jan on a early morning ride when it's 35 degrees Yes it gets cold in Florida a heated seat really feels good on the back side. Also the leather on the Corbin doesn't sweat like the stock vinyl does in the summer when it's 90 here in Florida.

    Heated seats

    When we were deciding on which RT to get one reason we went with the Audio and convience package was that it had the heated grips and were told that the seat was also heated. We had never turn them on untill this week end when we left before sunrise and it was a little cool. So the wife and I...
