• 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.

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    I think the way you should look at it is, "What does the owner's manual state?" From the 2020 RT manual: https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/public/tmp/620072EN1.pdf Use a 5W40 4-stroke SAE synthetic engine oil meeting or exceeding the following lubricant industry specifications: API service...

    Engine smoking and burning lots of oil - anyone pulled an engine?

    I took it to the dealer, nothing wrong with any of the engine internals. They found a slit in the clutch diaphragm. This was leaking engine oil into the crankcase and the cause of the smoking. This is the SM6 model (manual transmission), not sure if the SE6 has a clutch diaphragm or not...

    Passenger Backrest - Anyone modified one?

    Ended up taking to an upholstery shop. He had to cut the plastic curve off each edge, but it turned out awesome. He was able to re-use the original cover and it looks factory.

    Any suggestions on a Drink carrier for the Top Case? Any 3D print options? 2020+ RT

    I often carry drinks in the top case. Usually they are fine but sometimes they tip over and spill. Does anyone have a suggestion for a drink carrier for the top case that I could set at least 2 drinks in that will keep them from tipping over? Any 3D print options out there? Thanks!

    Passenger Backrest - Anyone modified one?

    Hello! I know that there is an aftermarket Ultimate passenger backrest, but I wonder how hard it would be to reshape the stock backrest? Has anyone done it? My passenger would like a flatter backrest instead of the sides contouring out. This is on a 2020 RT Limited. Thanks!

    Can I do a Tri Axis handlebar swap from a 2014 RT to a 2015 RT & vice versa?

    The 2015 does not have Tri-Axis bars. Sorry if that wasn't clear. If I do the labor, then there is no cost. Yes, I know it is a big job, but not impossible.

    Can I do a Tri Axis handlebar swap from a 2014 RT to a 2015 RT & vice versa?

    Does anyone know if the handlebars can be swapped from a 2014 RT SE6 to a 2015 RT SM6 and vice-versa. I want to swap the bars between the two Spyders. Before I go to the trouble of finding out on my own, I want to see if anyone knows the answer. Thanks! AJ

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    Well, it's all back together and took it on about a 70-mile run. It's running great! I ordered the spark plug kit for BajaRon and put them in while it was all apart. I will post a picture of the clutch diaphragm later. Here she is with the 2014 Limited. Meet Smoke and Shade. Together known as...

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    Heard back from the dealer this morning. They diagnosed the problem as a failed clutch diaphragm. They stated the diaphragm was allowing oil into the vacuum lines and so it was getting into the combustion chamber. The parts and labor will be around $750. I can live with that. Better than a...

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    Yes, but it probably was the 4th or 5th oil change the previous owner performed on it. I don't think it was his fault. I changed the oil over the weekend, all the O-rings were present and in the correct location. The oil filter was all the way in and the O-rings on the stick were correct...

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    To Everyone, I just bought this (for a very good price) from a coworker. He is very meticulous when it comes to maintenance. He noticed the oil burning on a 450 mile ride. About 2/3 of the way through, they stopped to eat and noticed smoke at start-up. He had just changed the oil at the...

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    No signs of leaks. Smokes at startup and blowing soot out the exhaust. Burning about 1 qt every 100 miles.
