• 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.

    My RT622 with Class 1 cooler basket on the rear of the trailer!

    I would also be concerned with the weight of the cooler and its contents behind the trailer axle. Looks like the trailer could experience significant sway back and forth like regular trailers towed behind cars. I would test this setup very carefully with small increases in load before fully...

    Belt cover/guard: needed or not?

    I rode belt drive Harleys from 2002 to 2019 when I bought my first spyder. Been riding Spyders since then and I've never had a belt failure.

    Need a new shed for my Ryker - any suggestions?

    Just a thought.... Buy an enclosed cargo/motorcycle trailer. Take the wheels off, lock the wheels and the Spyder inside. No permits, and you'll have a trailer to use.

    Has anybody found a 1157 LED replacement that doesn't cause hyper-flash?

    Clovercrawler - Auxito makes LED signal light bulbs with built in resistors, so you don't have to splice any wires. On my 21 RTL the original signal light bulbs were not 1157. The correct bulbs have pins on the side of the socket that are NOT 180° apart like the 1157. I no longer have the PN of...

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    just curious, where is the belt running on the rear sprocket? Did the dealer mess with the adjusters to get the belt off/on?

    Automated mailed ticket.... But I wasn't there!

    Posted on another forum. Guy got a toll violation ticket with a picture of his car and plate. Only thing.... his car was on a roll-back tow truck at the time the picture was taken!

    What am I doing wrong - Connecting a Garmin Zumo XT GPS to BRP Connect??

    I have the same setup on my 21RTL. Try bluetoothing your phone and the Garmin both to the Lamonster device. It worked for me.

    Has anyone done their own Rear Tire change? How difficult?

    I removed both bolts, the issue was with getting the tire out from under the fender and mud flap.

    Has anyone done their own Rear Tire change? How difficult?

    Biggest problem I had was getting the Spyder high enough in the air to wiggle the tire out from under the extended fender/mud flap on my 21 RTL.

    Will there be enough room in a 6' x 10' Trailer to tie down RT?

    I agree with jchadwi above that 7 foot wide is much better for access around the Spyder once you get it into the trailer. Note that most trailer widths are quoted to the outside of the walls. I bought a 7x14 with tandem wheels and I'm very pleased. Tandem axles are not really needed for this...

    Replaced rear turn & back up lights with LED's, now blinking fast! Fixes?

    I'm reluctant to give a part number because the OP has a 16 RT and I bought bulbs for my 21RTL. I don't know if both bikes use the same bulbs, I do know that the bulbs for my 21 have an unusual offset pin arrangement on the base. The pins that hold the bulb in the socket are NOT 180 degrees...

    Any tips on re-installing the Brake Reservoir Retaining Spring Clip? 2022 RTL

    my 21 had the short rubber hose that was a bugger to remove using angle needle nose pliers and sailor talk. NAPA supplied 6 inches of the same hose (it's air line hose for truck air brakes). I cut an angle on the end of the hose and pushed it back where is belongs. Now the end is long enough to...

    Replaced rear turn & back up lights with LED's, now blinking fast! Fixes?

    Try replacing the LED's with new LED's from Auxito. Theirs come with load resistors built into the bulbs so you don't have to modify the wiring on your Spyder. I used them on my 21 RTL and it was plug and play with no hyper flash.

    2021 RTL handle bar position and riding posture...need a fix?

    I replaced my 21 stock bars with stock F3 bars. A little higher and a better (for me) angle of the hand grips. Only $125 on Ebay so its worth a shot.

    Doing my first oil change and I have some questions for the more experienced guys...

    Answers: 1) yes, the brake rod is in the way. IF you have a long 6mm allen socket you may be able to get it out. 2) yes it's soft. I stripped the allen plug (not the torx) because my short allen socket would not seat fully in the plug 3) I prefer the replacement Show...
