• 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.

    Enclosed Trailers

    Trailer and RV I use a 7x19 Legend aluminum trailer. For a single Spyder you could get one much shorter. I can fit my RT-S, my Harley Ultra and my BMW R1200C. The Legend brand is much lower cost than the bigger names, Aluma and such. Mine is low frills. I pull it with a 2006 Sprinter. I too...

    How to trailer my RT and hubby's Harley

    I use a 7 X 19 enclosed aluminum trailer. It is a 16 foot box with 3 feet in the V. I back my RT so the butt is in the V and can fit 2 full dress bikes to the rear of the trailer. It's cozy to get things tied down for an old fat guy but I take my toys between Wisconsin and Kentucky every year.

    Any video on how to Install rear cargo/luggage carrier before I drill?

    I put down masking tape on the trunk lid to set and mark the carrier. If it is the Show Chrome version, and you also will use the leg extensions, put them on the rack before marking the legs. Because the legs run at angles, the leg extensions make for slightly different mounting points if you...

    Gearbox position sensor malfunction

    DPS My 2015 RTS SE6 had the GPS go out shortly after I got it. My dealer had a list of the affected VINs, mine included but the failure beat it the delivery of the new part by a day. I don't believe they classified it as a recall but my dealer retrieved my Spyder from 60 miles a way and...

    Cain't sink headset to garmin gps????

    GPS Sync I'm not sure you are connecting the devices correctly. I use a Sena SMH10, a Garmin Zumo 590 and an IPhone 6. I sync my phone to the GOS, not the headset. Then, the headset to the GPS. I can selectively play MP3 music from the card on the GPS, music off the phone, Pandora off the...

    590 Garmin

    Tire sensors I have the sensors on my Harley. I don't have them on the Spyder since you can't set up 2 sets. I never have connection problems. The lost connection message will shrink at the top after a bit. I figure a blowout on a 2 wheel bike without steering assist is more catastrophic than...

    Known Issues-2015 RT

    1 Problem My 2015 RTS SE6 had a bad gear position sensor. Evidently BRP knew the VINs. Only problem was my dealer wanted to wait until he had the part before he called me. Sensor went out 60 miles from home. I got a ride, dealer retrieved the Spyder. Was fixed the next day and has been terrific...

    Another Trailer Hitch Harness Question

    Good point. You're convincing me. I like the spade tap idea.

    Another Trailer Hitch Harness Question

    Trailer harness Thanks for the advice. I will look into the light harness. If indeed the power is not passed through, I may try to add a pin to the plug rather than using a posi-tap. I have your earlier post for reference.

    Another Trailer Hitch Harness Question

    First let me say I'm admittedly trying to be lazy. I have a 2015 RTS-SE6. I bought a BRP trailer hitch off EBay without the wiring harness. I'm planning on going with the Showchrome trailer harness rather than the BRP one. I'm not concerned with opening up the rear of the bike to get at the...

    Music. Is this suppose to happen?

    The Zumo 590 will use a Bluetooth headset if connected for all audio functions. It will use the audio out line if not. If you have you phone linked to the zumo, not all functions will work without the headset linked to the zumo. I use the Sena SMH10 headsets and have the Zumo 590 mounts on both...

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    When I put them on my Harley with custom wheels, I had a similar issue clearing the caliper. I found both angled metal stems and stubby metal stems. I went with the stubby but there are options that usually solve the problem. I'm surprised more BRP dealers don't promote the Garmin with the...

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    zumo 590 TPMS The short answer is no. You need to buy the sensors. A quick look at GPSCITY has a 3 pack for $200. I use my 590 on my Harley and my Spyder but only have the sensors on my Harley. I think they are great. Setup is easy and I believe they have the Spyder wheel configuration as a...

    Summer Mesh Jackets --Pros/Cons

    TourMaster Flex and Cooling vest To answer an earlier question, the TourMaster Flex has both a shell and liner so living in Wisconsin and taking road trips allows me to go from very hot to pretty cold with minimal packing bulk. I wear microfiber shirts sold in a variety of stores including...

    Summer Mesh Jackets --Pros/Cons

    Tourmaster Flex here also. Went to Mexico from central Wisconsin in August (Don't ask) and every day was over 100. Used a cooling vest under the mesh and it was tolerable. I'm an old fat guy so I definitely feel the heat but since I found the Flex and the vest, I'm golden. Bob

    Best type of trailer for RT?

    I have a Legend 7X19 (16 foot square) V-nose all aluminum trailer. Spyder fits easily, doesn't hit the crest of the ramp and I still have room for 2 other bikes (BMW,Harley). Here's a picture (if I did it right) of the Spyder loaded and the Chock mounted to load a 2 wheeler.

    Dream Garage

    As mentioned, a decent TIG welder but I also love having a motorcycle lift table with the side extensions. A 2 post lift is a bit overkill for cycles.

    Painting a vehicle question...

    I bought the Devilbiss Starting Line 3 gun set from Eastwood via Ebay. I recommend hitting a sale at Harbor Freight and buying the disposable cups. They fit fine and make life much easier. I am doing a project Harley and I too come from the old siphon gun era. The new HVLP guns are VERY...

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    2008, SM5, low miles and zero problems. Had the parking brake upgraded part put on as an offensive measure rather than possibly ending up with a problem. No performance mods. It's the wife's ride and she loves it.
