• 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.

    I CAN NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE?

    I rode my wife's RT Limited to the gas station a couple of days ago to fill it up for her to ride to work the next day. I needed a few things from the grocery store, so stopped at a near by Save Mart. People pulled in behind me as I parked and said "hey, I saw those on TV". A lady loading her...

    Radio with a mind of it's own

    My wife had an interesting thing happen to her RT Limited yesterday. After returning home from work she was unloading her Spyder. The key had been off for a couple of minutes. She turned it on to un-lock the "frunk", then turned the key to the "off" position. As she walked around to the front of...

    operators manual

    I have been trying to find an electronic (hopefully a PDF) version of the operators manual for a 2011 RT Limited. All I come up with is a blank page. Can anyone direct me to where I might get a copy. Is it even available as an electronic version. Joe in Modesto

    Modesto to Ukiah

    Hey redlightron, Your route is one I have never been on before. I'll have to try that one. Cashe Creek (16) is pretty part of the year. I have been that route so many times that is now kind of boring. Joe in Modesto

    Phil's bluetooth mod...

    My wife and I are looking into bike-to-bike communications. She has the RT Limited, and I ride a 2005 Goldwing. We had thought about bluetooth sets, but the range is too limited. The CB option does not sound too inviting either. I have friends that have a CB on thier rides and complain that the...

    In The Shop

    Limp mode is 20 mph? When my wife's previous 2008 RS went into Limp mode, we could do 45 mph. Is this something new with the 2011's or the RT's? Joe in Modesto

    Help, Frunk stuck closed

    Thanks scotty, I was thinking along those lines as all of the latches on the new RT seem to be stiff and hard working. I was planning to use a Moly type grease mainly because that is what I have and I have seen car dealers use that on car door latches. Joe in Modesto

    Vibration

    While driving my wife's RT Limited to Elk Grove Power Sports yesterday I noticed a very distinct vibration (and sound) when the tach passes through 5500 RPM. It is much more pronounced if you back off of the throttle at that point, but very noticable anytime it passes that RPM range. I had the...

    Help, Frunk stuck closed

    Well, I took the wife's Spyder to the dealer yesterday afternoon. They were able to get the frunk open by pressing down very hard on the lid and operating switch. I had tried this myself to the point that I was afraid I was going to break the lid. I guess just not quite enough. My wife had 2...

    Help with frozen bolt

    OK, for a little "hind sight". Anytime a small bold or screw is stuck to the point of rounding off the head one should always stop and re-think what one is doing. Next, try first turning the stuck bolt/screw in the "tighten" direction" to see if you can break the bond and go back and forth from...

    Help, Frunk stuck closed

    Thanks Lamonster, We tried that. I pulled to the point I was afraid I might break the plastic. I'll have to just wait until I can get it to the dealer. Thanks to all who answered my post. Joe in Modesto

    Help, Frunk stuck closed

    I have tried both the key and the release button. I have tried pushing down gently then hard, pulling up gently, then hard all while trying the button and the key switch. I pried the frunk up gently from either side and looked in with a flashlight and I am not able to see any reason for it to...

When we take the cage we normally just take 5 to Williams and then cut accross on 20 to Clear Lake then on to Ukiah. We don't really care much for 16 (Cash Creek)...

    My wife just picked up her 2011 RT last weekend. We would be interested in some of future rides. We live in Modesto, but bought her Spyder from Elk Grove. I will try to come along with her on some rides but I work most every Sunday. Also I ride a Goldwing. Joe in Modesto

    intercom/communications

    My wife and I are looking into getting an "Autocom" unit installed on her new Syder RT Limited. We don't want the CB option because of short range limits, but are thinking FMR/GMRS radios for communication between Spyder and my Wing. Anyone have any other ideas or options? Joe in Modesto
