• 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.

    Paint Blemish/BRP Response

    Sorry I missed that it is a Limited - saw the Circuit Yellow in the following post. So yours is either pearl, lava, or black currant - correct? Not sure but presume pearl might be a three stage. Given the depth of all the 2013 colors they may all be. Anyway this repair not a candidate for...

    Paint Blemish/BRP Response

    circuit yellow is complex paint - careful I agree that this should be done by someone with the necessary experience. I just received my touch up paint kit from touch up company and this is not a simple paint. Most paints today are two stage - base coat and clearcoat. This paint is a *three*...

    BajaRon Sway Bar Install - the Jenga Block Method :)

    You are most certainly correct. This needs to be done very carefully otw it is unstable. I was very careful to use wood blocks that were both wider and longer than the contact patch. If you do not do that and you present an edge to the tire you will most certainly be wearing your Spyder...

    BajaRon Sway Bar Install - the Jenga Block Method :)

    Hi everyone - I bought a 2013 RT-S last month and was very leery of its handling. Way too much lean and the 'turn in' seemed like it happened in two parts - the initial turn in and then an abrupt corner when the weight transferred resulting in having too much turn in requiring a correction(s)...

    Rolo Laser Alignment - North Georgia / Atlanta / Chattanooga

    Hi everyone - I bought a 2013 RTS from Extreme Propulsion last month. I really cannot say enough good things about them - just no-nonsense, fair pricing and great service. I was in yesterday for the 600 mile and an alignment as my Spyder had so much 'twitchy' at speed that I thought it had...

    BajaRon's Sway Bar Installed

    Sway Bar vs Shocks Hi everyone - I have a new RTS (circuit yellow of course;) ) I have ordered out and am expecting the beefier BajaRon sway bar today or tomorrow. My dealer, who is a gem and I trust, is nudging to changing to ELKA 1+R's at the same time as first check. (I am planning on...

    Reset Technical Question after Alignment Hi all- I have been following this thread for a couple of days. I am a noob to the Spyder but pretty experienced in sports cars, planes, etc. Pretty much anything that you throw money at for no good reason. This system looks like a real interesting...

    HID's and 'the shutter' - are they willing partners?

    Mark -thanks for the info Thanks for the info. Seems to indicate that the shutter is not opaque but maybe like 'sunglasses.' When you say the light is the same do you mean road coverage or looking at the light standing in front? I live up in Jefferson so we may cross paths some day. 'Is...

    HID's and 'the shutter' - are they willing partners?

    I apologize if you are reading this a second time. The first time I posted it the reply section of a thread I had started regarding the correct headlamp bulbs for the RT. (I am a real noob two weeks) I thought I would repost it to a wider audience in hopes someone can shed some light on the...

    Helmets

    It's the machismo First I am biased - I am an ATGATT type of guy. 8 years USAF active duty flying fighter jets - I always wore a helmet, nomex suit, strapped in and had a parachute - if I knew when I was going to crash I would have left it all on the rack except for that day - enough said...

    2013 RTS - headlight confusion

    More Headlight Trivia Questions from the NooB This is posed to everyone - hope Scotty chimes in. In my previous post on this thread I asked about the headlamps in the 2013 RTS. Even though riding at night is an 'unnatural act' as all the grip disappears from the road ( same thing happens in...

    Hi everyone - I am a newbie - bought a Circuit Yellow 2013 RTS-SE about two weeks ago. (previous bike Victory Vision Tour) I want to thank everyone who posted encouragement to new riders about the handling and getting used to it in the handling forums. I was 'terrified' :shocked: as well and...
