• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Port Angeles, I liked it there the few times I visited. The winters were mild, as were the summers. My X wife's aunt and uncle lived there. He was a crusty ol' fart, but for some reason, he liked me. He was a fisherman. He knew where to catch the fish. They owned a camp ground that was adjacent...

    Have any of you added an Aux Tank to a 2020+ RT?

    Thanks again for all the positive info. I finally got my Aux tank mounted and plumbed. I’ll tweak it as time goes on. I made it more difficult than I needed to. I was overly concerned about the plumbing. I had more difficulty dealing with the mounting of the tank. You’ll all have heard of...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    🤣 I just threw the leaking & prostatectomy in for a laugh. I really did have one a year ago, but no issues except once in a while I do leak a little. In your case a trailer with a tank is a good way to go. A lot of IBA members on 2 wheels use a tail dragged (attached like a trailer hitch) with...

    Is there a 'Full Tank' Triangle? If so, where? '22 RT

    I thought I had read on this forum that once the fuel tank is "really" full a triangle appears. I have over flowed my tank and still have not seen the triangle. 2022 RTLS Where is it at. I see the flags.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I did mean to mention how my aux tank works. Yes, it is gravity feed but just as the Camel tank as the fuel leaves the main tank it creates a vacuum which pulls fuel from the aux tank. Gravity helps it. I must remember to be sure the aux tank is empty before opening the main tank, otherwise...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Today I finished the plumbing of my 3 gallon AUX tank on my 2022 RTLS. Now, 300 miles before a required fill is achievable. I did not see any leaks, more than I can say for myself. I had a prostatectomy last July. It is gravity feed through the main's vent. The aux tank feeds the main tank...

    Battery Tenders - should you use them or not?

    Firm believer. Used one on all 4 motorcycles for the last 17 years. I still change out the battery every 2 years if I am going on a long distant trip and I carry a battery jumper. Yes, I am a little paranoid. Where I travel, I do not want to be stranded.

    It is not refined yet but I'll try to send what I have now.

    Anyone purchased from an out of town dealer? Is this common? Any concerns?

    I did. Bought a used 2 year old RTL Silver with 1400 miles from a dealer 50 miles from home. I do have a somewhat decent dealer 6 miles from my home for any extended warranty needs.

    Gas mileage and the Kansas wind - it made a difference!

    Sundown, premium fuel, as in high octane, is not required. 2022 Spyder RTL owners manual, page 162: minimum AKI 87, RON 92; 91AKI/95RON recommend. Recommend means for max performance. I have tried both on identical trips at regular highway speeds with no difference in mpg. I would dare say a...

    Has anyone used the Semi rigid bag on their RT? Thoughts?

    They are not semi-rigid unless there are some I don’t know about. I have all including the frunk roller bag. I like the roller frunk bag but I lose some space BC of the way it is made. It is a suitcase. I don’t care for the trunk bag because things sort of get lost in it. However, it is very...
