• 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.

    catalytic converter

    If all fails, perhaps convince her to wear earplugs.....it will save her hearing. ;) Am about to install the CAT delete pipe. I have the Akrapovic muffer on our RTL. Now you make me wonder if I am doing the right thing. :shocked: The bike has less than 300 miles and the Akrapovic on the RTL...

    Cannot Open Funk with Ignition Key

    Actually, the reverse happen. The ignition switch could not open the funk. So they forced open the lid by prying it open. In the process, cracked the inside of the lid. They explained saying the fault was not on the ignition switch but something about the cable coming loose. :sour:

    Cannot Open Funk with Ignition Key

    Disclosure.... My visit to the dealership disclosed that the "cable that connect to the latch came loose" so it could not unlatch the funk when you turned the ignition key to do open the funk. They had to pry open the frunk and unfortunately cracked the inside of the funk (ouch). :sour: The...

    Cannot Open Funk with Ignition Key

    Thank you all for all your responses. :thumbup: Much appreciated. I will be taking the STS to the dealership tomorrow to have it check. Meantime, will see if pressing down on the latch while turning the ignition key will help. Certainly looks like the ignition switch needs to be replaced...

    Cannot Open Funk with Ignition Key

    Today, suddenly I cannot open the funk with the ignition key. I can open the seat the usual manner but not the funk. Also I noticed the slight "resistance" when I push the ignition key down and turn clockwise to open the seat....but not when I puch and turn counter-clockwise to open the funk...

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    Ours turned from a flop-flop-flop to a whine just like the APU of the commercial jet planes at about 450 miles! :yikes: So is the dealer or BRP going to say its normal on all the 2014 RTs? :sour:

    RSS vs ST

    Just like to mention that my friend who recently bought an RSS has been complaining of neck pain whenever he takes a longer ride with his Spyder. I never experience this issue with our STS. Obviously the more upright riding position on the STS helps reduce neck/back issues and is more...

    Cat Bypass Installed

    Thank you guys for all the encouraging news on the CAT delete by-pass. I have been sitting the fence on this project for a while and installed the Akrapovic muffler without the by-pass. Now you guys convinced me and am biting the bullet! Just requested Lamont to send me his CAT by-pass. :pray:

    How many of these can you predict in advance?

    Excessive speed, no foresight and plain stupidity. Admittedly there are a few caused by other vehicles whose drivers were clearly at fault....but....

    2014 exhaust questions....

    Got the dealer to install the Akrapovic muffler, but didn't remove the catalytic converter. End result is that I didn't notice much change, but I expect it to be louder and perhaps will be after I put it a couple of hundred miles. Sounds pretty quiet to me now. Our STS with the Akrapovic...

    Any suggestions on reducing glare on 2014 RT Limited dashboard?

    Yes, use polarized sunglasses and/or just squint (cheapest option ;)). J/K. You all have a nice weekend and enjoy your ride. Another sunny weekend here in Vancouver!

    Your Spyder should steer THIS EASY!

    Yes, our STS now steers straight as an arrow after the laser align Spyder Ann and Joe worked on it in Camano Island, Wa. :thumbup: Looking forward to have them align the RT also in SITR (Eureka, next month).

    Welcome SpyderRiderMike! Congratulations on your new RTS. Do enjoy your ride and be safe. Wait till the effect of the venom sets in; the urge to add "farkles" will soon kick in! :roflblack:

    Who's going to Spyders in the Redwoods Aug 4-7 2013?

    I understand, no problem. What will your route be heading to Astoria on August 1st? Will you be passing by Olympia, Washington? Perhaps you can designate a time and location that is easy for us to meet in Olympia (I will be travelling down on I-5 to meet you). Still have to check for...
