• 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.

    DPS + Check Engine Light

    The problem is a bad DPS unit. My dealer informed me it would be $1130 for the part and $486 to install - $1616 to repair a machine that only has 6000 miles on it. I wrote BRP and guess what? They will not help in any way. To add insult to injury the part has been on order for a week and is...

    DPS + Check Engine Light

    Rode my 2011 RT-S on a 220 mile mountain loop about 2 weeks ago. Parked it in the garage and watched it rain for the last two weeks. Fired it up today and I got a DPS warning (dynamic power steering I assume) in conjunction with a check engine light. Rode it around the block and it seems the...

    BajaRon Stabilizer Bar

    Thanks to all your positive comments, I went ahead and installed a BajaRon Stabilizer Bar with his aluminum heim joints on my 2011 RT. The results are amazing. This one little change literally transforms the RT from a somewhat clumsy handler into a sports car. My riding enjoyment is up by a...

    New NC Spyder Rider Hello Everyone: I'm Taraspyder on the forum and Matt Taravella in reality. I just bought my first Spyder, a Timeless Black 2011 RT-S SE5. I traded my very last 2 wheeler in on this RT that I found in Jacksonville FL with just 884 original miles. I live in Hickory, NC and...

    Another Newbee - some general questions

    Another question... Stormtrouper suggested that I check and see if the previous owner already installed a BajaRon swaybar. I crawled under today and there is a swaybar, black with the plastic ends. One of the pix I saw depicted the BajaRon bar as orange. Did the factory put a bar on the RT...

    Another Newbee - some general questions

    Now THIS is what I call a great forum! Thanks for the info guys and gals! I think I found a home here. One more thing: I've been out in the cold garage looking everywhere for that kickstand. Do you think mine is electric and retractable???

    Another Newbee - some general questions

    I just went from being up on 2 for the last 47 years to being on 3 as of last Friday. I bought a very low mileage 2011 RT-S, SE5. I rode it back from Sanford FL to home (Hickory NC) on Saturday and really like it. Please humor me by answering a few questions you all have probably heard 100...
