• 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.

    21 RT Ltd - what does the usb plug in glove box do?

    I charge my Zuni xt using this port. You have to use the right cable— the one that came with the zumo works.

    Another 2020 RT issue solved!

    I ordered a sheet off Amazon and installed it on the outside of my glove box. It made a world of difference.

    Are 2020 RT Passenger armrests vertically & horizontally adjustable?

    BRP claims that these are both horizontally and vertically adjustable. OK, so they have two horizontal positions. But I can't see how they are vertically adjustable. Am I missing something?

    Comparing my 2020 RTL to my previous 2014 RTL

    I have had my 2020 RTL for a week now, and can offer some comparisons to my previous 2014 RTL, for anyone else thinking about an upgrade. *) The ride is MUCH smoother. Bumps that previously were jarring are now hardly noticeable. *) The seating is MUCH roomier. I have the standard seat on...

    "USB MALFUNCTION" connecting iphone to 2020 RTS

    Just replaced my 2014 RTS with a 2020. Great so far, except I cant get the USB connection working with my iPhone X. When I plug into the USB outlet in the glove box, the dash shows USB Malfunction. I have tried several cables, all of which will transmit data when connected to my computer...

    Air Ride trailers

    I did locate the company that took over the Air Ride business a few years ago. It's Ultimate Trailer in Colorado. They no longer make the exact model I purchased, but are checking with their supplier to see if they can still make the fender.

    Air Ride trailers

    I purchased an Air Ride trailer several years ago, and until now it has been a great way to trailer my RTL. But this afternoon, I threw a tread and it distroyed one of the fenders. It appears that Air Ride is no longer in business, so I’m trying to find out if anyone is running that business...

    73 Year old rookie here

    I've put 30,000 miles on two Spyders since I turned 70. And I plan to add at least another 30k over the next few years.

    Another DSS FAIL thread

    Last week, after 9k miles, I had the DESS problem on my early 2014 RT Ltd. The dealer found a bulletin on the problem, and replaced the DESS under warrantee. FYI, i found that I could get around the DESS error code (and the failure to start) by rapidly switching the key off then back on.

    Newbie riding impressions 2014 RTL

    For normal riding, I agree. But if you are being aggressive in cornering, or if you find yourself entering a curve faster than you should, I find that pulling on the inside handle bar is more effective. It makes you lean into the curve more, and shifts your weight to the inside.

    2014 RTS Ride Characteristics

    I agree that the 2014 seems more stable on corners. A guy following me Sunday said he was impressed how the Spyder hugged the road when I was taking some fairly high-speed corners. I have never seen the high MPG numbers that some members post. I consistently get around 30MPG, and have for the...

    Does Noisy Fuel Pump = Break Down??

    One of the BRP gurus at the Durango Owner's Event listened to my 2014 RT, and immediately said that the fuel pump noise was a known issue, and my dealer should replace it under warranty. My dealer replaced it, and the noise is gone. The tech guru said that the fuel pump would probably not...

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    New 2014 RT SE6 with maintenance issues. Could use some advise.

    The fuel pump noise is a known problem. Mine was replaced for no charge.

    Arm Rests

    I have the Diamond R armrests and like them. More importantly, Linda likes them. The only problem has been the location of the cup holder. With the arms folded in, my foot hits the cup holder when I get on the Spyder. So I had to switch the arms, which put the cup holder (which is fixed to...
