• 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.

    Converting a 2013rt to a 2014rt

    Has anyone given any thought to converting a 2013 to a 2014 rt. I wondering if we bought the parts for a new frunk and the new radiators if they would fit on a 2013rt thus relieving the heat problems. Naturally, this would be spendy but whole lot less than taking the hit on selling our current...

    Hooking up heated gloves to Fuze Block

    I cheated. I just installed a 12v cigarette lighter jack near my handle bars. In the winter I plug in not only my gloves but my heated jacket as well. Other times I used it drive other electronics.

    HOT OR NOT

    Different spyders seem to run at different temps. My 2011 no major heat problems (same riding gear) my new 2013 way hotter. My dealer actually took a temperature gun to it while it parked out from the exhaust heat was 174 degrees. ( and that was after it cooled a bit). You will feel that no...

    New discovery on 2013 heat issue. Your going to want to read this

    Perhaps this picture will help note where the front of the bike is and the engine placement. The heat shield in this photo is to the right top corner. As you can see, a good part of the engine resides in front and below the heat shield.

    New discovery on 2013 heat issue. Your going to want to read this

    Oh, I'm not claiming this will get rid of any codes and frankly I have had to do other heat modifications on my bike as well. This one mod though has massively dropped the amount of heat that is coming up through and in front of my seat. I'm just waiting for another hot day to give it a full...

    Hot foot problem

    I have been struggling with this issue for awhile and think I have a workable solution finally. Fyi, not only do the floorboards make you experience the heat more I believe the 2013 actually put out more heat. I'm comparing it to my previous 2011rt, with my feet on my NPV there is way more...

    2013 RT hot foot even with block off plate

    Almost all of my heat was coming out of the lower port. Blocking the upper port did very little, something has definitely changed in how the heat is exchanged. (could be the size of the exit ports, the fan and or its angle, or some other item) It could be many things but the end results is more...

    2013 RT hot foot even with block off plate

    Looks like we are blazing new trails on this one. I have been trying different things to resolve the issue. FYI on the new fy13RTs this problem stands out more because of the foot boards. At least for me it tends to make me have my feet further forward than with the foot pegs. Anyway, I made...

    Hello fellow spyder riders. I have a long torso and am looking for a higher windshield. Currently 25" seems to be the tallest I can find for my RT. However, I saw a windshield extension sold by twisted throttle...
