• 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.

    Pulling Trailer with Non Rt

    The trailer mode on the SE has nothing to do with the RT "recognizing the trailer", all it does it adjust the shift points to keep the revs up to minimize lugging the engine. That's why the SM doesn't have it, it's up to the ryder to do it.

    Help with some problems a friend is having! with RT-S

    I've actually had the heat in the glove box drain my phone battery. I had to turn the phone off, let it cool and turned it back on, had a full battery again. I see that BRP has a full insulation kit for the glove box, insulation for the bottom and sides and an insulation insert for inside the...

    Right Side Heat!

    I've actually noticed just in the last few rides that I am getting a lot of heat from the right side radiator vent. It goes back, hits the saddle bag and seems deflect up and forward right into my head and right side. It is not pleasant, for sure.

    Corbin Problems

    All they need to do is give a passenger pillion like the original seat coming up to meet the passenger back rest. Or they could extend the passenger back rest down to meet the seat, but that would only work if you buy their back rest. The gap really looks horrible.

    First test Ride: Prospective Owner

    The differences can make transitioning to a Spyder a bit of a challenge, which can take days, weeks, even months to fully get used to. My obstacles were mainly over-steering it, but I still catch myself grabbing for the hand brake occasionally. I had lots of trouble keeping it in a straight line...

    Numb right hand while driving

    I have the exact same problem on my other bikes, and found that I am (as others have said) holding the grips tight enough to cut off circulation. Ride a 200+ horsepower motorcycle that violently tries to rip you off the back (and scares you stupid) and you tend to hold the grips way too tightly...

    Bouncing Fuel Gauge

    I keep hearing about the replacement sending unit, but this makes no sense to me. If it was the sending unit, disconnecting the analog gauge to get the digital gauge shouldn't help any. The digital gauge should bounce around just like the analog gauge, if it was the sending unit. But...

    Headlight Question

    It's the front end bouncing that makes it look like you're flashing your lights, I had it happen last weekend following a friend he pulled over thinking I needed to talk to him. The colors come from the projector style housing, that gives a colored tint to the edges of the light.

    The attention is nice however.....

    I get tons of questions, I even have people waiting for me to come out of a store so they can talk to me about it. It's a little unnerving to get so much attention from a $25,000 trike when I drive cars worth 40X as much and nobody pays the slightest bit of attention.

    Corbin Problems

    Thanks Lamont, I saw the strut but it is so stiff it refused to move for me so I never figured out what it actually was. I'm going to take it to an upholstery shop tomorrow and get the seat fixed. Unfortunately that's not something you should have to do to a brand new $900 seat. I kept the...

    Corbin Problems

    My Corbin seat arrived today, and after sweating 20 pounds off and cussing the air blue I've finally got it installed. First observation is that Corbin's instructions suck, plain and simple. If it hadn't been for a few things I've read here I'd still be out there cussing at it. The...

    Who wants a FREE Street Magic RT HMT Brake Light?

    I absolutely love the HMT light, I think it's a fantastic safety addition to the RT. The OE tail/brake lights are a bit too low and not as visible to the rear as I would like. The guy who went with me and followed me home when I picked my RT up commented that the lights lacked, that it needed...

    Looking into the future of the RT

    Don't misunderstand my desire for more power, once this engine gets the revs up it makes good power. I just think that a larger displacement engine with more low end grunt would be an improvement. For highway riding it is just fine as it is, roll on acceleration is more than adequate. As far...

    Looking into the future of the RT

    I've had my RT-S for 3 weeks and have almost 1200 fairly trouble free miles. I really only see a few things that could use attention. Power- Not horsepower but torque. Ride a Wing or a Harley, they have serious grunt under 2000 rpm, the Wing redlines at 6000 and the Harley at 4500. My 2007...

    Deer Hit

    Glad to hear you're OK, the ryde can be fixed/replaced. Just like my crash last year, I shudder to think what the outcome would have been if you'd been on two wheels. I also had State Farm, and they had absolutely no idea how to adjust a Spyder or really any motorcycle for that matter. I had...

    Squeaky Brakes

    Mine isn't squeaking as such, the noise is more like a cricket chirring. It seems to be coming from both front brakes. Is this the kind of noise others are talking about??
