• 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 does it take to get CB and intercom on a Spyder?

    Can you tell me what harness you needed to install the CB. My RT is a 2014 and has just a radio with no wired din plugs to use helmets. It has the Garmin Zumo 660 installed also. I purchased a communication harness #219400610, but you have to unplug the bike's entertainment harness to plug the...

    Installed GPS Mount on 2012 Spyder RT SE5 Limited Edition

    I read on the internet that when changing from a Garmin Zumo 660 to 665, there is a problem on a 2014 RT. I believe that one of the Spyder Lovers members said that you need to remove the mounting plate head on the 660 mount and change it to the 665 mount. Not sure what this is about, but I'm...

    Digital Tire pressure gauge - any ideas where to find replacement?

    Lost my pressure gauge. I like the gauge that came with the RT. Looking for a replacement. Any one have a idea where I may find one. If BRP had it I would probably have to buy the total tool kit. Left it on seat and took a test ride. Bob

    Seat release problem

    I have experienced the same problem. What I found was that the switch body contains a plastic cam that turns when you press down on the key and turn. One direction it opens the seat and the other opens the fronk. The cam works the cables to the seat and fronk. It broke! The problem is that...
