• 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.

    Sirius XM Channel Tuning

    Sirius XM Tuning Had a fit with our '16 when new. Even emailed BRP and received a smart a$$ answer of "read your owners manual" which does not address the XM radio at all! So after a 45 mile trip back to our dealer and thankfully, a Tech that knew what he was talking about, we learned how to...

    American Ride Maps

    America Rides Maps Chris, Good to hear from you! You are spot on about these maps. We bought the same one for our NC trip the beginning of September. Our third time to the same location (Murphy, NC) and we rode several rides within 10 miles of our rented cabin that we never knew existed...

    RT (2016) pulling a Can Am trailer

    Towing Trailer Did 2500 miles with our new '16 RTL and Freedom trailer last month. After 20 years with different Goldwings and Bushtecs I can say the Spyder was equal in every aspect save one. Gas mileage really suffered. Gl 1800 always was over 40 MPG riding 2 up at interstate speeds. Spyder...

    Removing Love Bugs

    Love Bugs Thanks for the replies! Will try a combination of WD 40 and water. Already tried flushing with water from the front, air pressure from the rear and neither worked. Dlby, it's been a hot summer! Weather is starting to break, mid 70's first thing in the mornings and "only" low 90's for...

    Removing Love Bugs

    Returned from a ryde to Daytona and back and during clean up noticed quite a few love bugs in both radiators. Any suggestions on removing them from a 2016 RTL? Thanks! Pete

    Helmets?

    Helmet Peter Aawen- Shoei Duo Tech, Bob Denman- right on!! You can teach an old dog new tricks! Guess I was in shock, after so many years on a Wing and the capacity they have I was really down after reading the owners manual about the helmet hanger under the seat. Thought I would use those, boy...

    Helmets?

    Thanks Thanks for all replies. I "think" I added the info to my signature, just in case it's a 2016 RT Limited, new. I really like the idea of the lidloks as I do a lot of 2 up riding. Thinking that's the way to go!

    Helmets?

    Hey everyone, new Spyder rider here. Have been on Goldwings since '81. Picked up a RT Limited this past Saturday. Biggest question I have right now is what do you do with your helmet when you leave the Spyder when you are out and about. Have always used the hangers under the tail trunk on our...
