• 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.

    Anyone here a member of Women on Wheels?

    WOW member I've been a member of my chapter for 3 years now and it is one of the best decisions I ever made. I was still on 2 wheels then, always looking for someone to ride with so made the jump. Then I showed up with my spyder RT a couple of years ago and everyone raved about the bike...

    I would like to some one with an RT with ELKA shocks

    Went to Elkas this year I've got a 2010 RT SE5 and I replaced the standard shocks with Elkas at Spyderfest this year. For me, it was an awesome decision! I regularly fought with the bike when dealing with semis and the buffeting winds that occur as well as knew I had to "wrestle" the front...

    Handle bar shake

    I've got a 2010 RT SE5 and just this summer after 7500 miles, my bike has started doing the same thing. About 45 - 48 MPH, the front wheels start wobbling like they're going to fall off. The fenders are right in sync with the wheel wobble too. I now have 10,000 plus on the bike after a couple...

    Stupid Turn Signals

    I have to admit when I read these posts about the turn signal, I wonder if my 2010 RT came from another planet, has a better turn signal switch or heaven forbid, it's a female thing! LOL...seriously though, I've had my RT since April 2010 and I can't remember having a problem with the turn...

    RT Vibration continues

    I've got a 2010 RT A&C SE5 and am still trying to understand this vibration issue being discussed. The bike is a smoorth ride through all speeds and RPM range as far as I'm concerned. I may notice an extremely small amount of vibration in that 5100 - 5400 rpm range but cannot say that it is...

    Non-stock seat?

    We've had our 2010 RT with the stock seat for 2 years and 10k miles and are still very pleased with the stock seat. I've done 700 miles in a day and no problem with soreness or distress with dismounting and the walk around. The partner finds it so comfortable that falling alseep has occurred a...

    Corbin are they caring less than BRP?

    Well, I admit I am not one for excessive sliding around and "hanging off the edge" ;) but we have 10 K on the stock RT seat and I find it to be very comfortable. Maybe its these "older body parts" but has worked well for my partner and I. We've done as much as 550 miles a day and both commented...

    Wings are clipped

    Another happy result from Lasik back in 2000. The interesting thing my doc did was fix one eye for distance and the other for reading. Still going good after 12 years and last check-up was still 20-20 vision. However, the down side to the procedure is a permanent dry eye condition so I keep...

    BR1 IS IN TROUBLE

    Sounds like throttle body... You've just described what my spyder sounded like when the throttle bodies acted up at Spyderfest. I was able to ride a short distance (couple of hundred feet) in 1st but 2000 RPM was the best it would go. Shut it off, tried it a few times and it was fine on the...

    Why the Rush to Add MODS on a Brand New Spyder?

    I've got a 2010 RT A&C SE5 and love the bike. Rode for 2 years and then the "wheels" started turning. This year I started adding some mods because it was now time to make the byke "my own"! Maybe it's a car thing, maybe it's a female thing...whatever, but I noticed after a couple of years, my...

    canfan

    Can Fan installed by my dealer... and seems to be working great. Now mind you, when it is in the mid-90's, due to health issues, the spyder remains in the garage. However, when we made the ryde to Spyderfest and hit the 90's around St. Louis, the canfan did a great job! No noticeable excess...

    Update on my Daughter

    You will get the looks... Bytemi, you might get the looks and glances from everyone because there are many out there that believe younger children should not be on bikes. It doesn't matter if it is a Spyder, GW trike or what...they will decide they can "judge" and believe it to be an unsafe...

    How to adjust front shocks

    Have the Elkas and it's the best mod added to my bike... I have deteriorating shoulder joints and a 2010 RT SE5. Standard shocks had me wrestling on a regular basis so I talked with John from Elka. Had the Stage 1's put on at Spyderfest and he sets at a mid-point that seems to work for just...

    What are your thoughts.

    Have to agree with Bob... While mine is not specifically a "wrap" but a combination of graphics that Pete at http://powersportswraps.com/ did for me really fit what I was looking for. Some might say it is over the top but I love the way the bike looks, Not the best pic but first time I've...

    She laid down on me

    I consider myself lucky... I've got a 2010 RT SE5 with just under 10,000 miles and Spyderfest was my first major issue with the throttle body. What I find interesting is that it never through any visible codes, did not go into limp mode and allowed me to apply power up to 2000 RPM in 1st gear...

    fINALLY MET A FELLOW OWNER

    Also have the 2010 Silver... And love every minute ryding it! Like the others mentioned, maybe he's having a bad day or maybe he's concerned he won't get all the looks from the ladies now that there is competition in town. :D Whatever...just know the spyder community is one of the...

    Purchase Pending on New Spyder....Questions

    10K and counting .... Everything has been relativley trouble free. I've got a 2010 RT AC SE5 and so far the biggest problem has been getting the bike in for necessary recalls. And that has not been a problem...actually had the throttle body issue while at Spyderfest this year and Cowtown took...

    Opinions on tire pressures

    I wasn't that lucky Had to replace rear tire at 7000 due to the low pressure in rear tire. Bad mistake on my part (I know bad me:shocked:) was to depend on my dealer a little too much. With artificial knees, getting down and finding that stem to check pressure is a tad difficult, so I'd stop...

    2010 spyder rt audio and convenience

    Sorry to hear of your problem... I have a 2010 RT A&C SE5 and have been lucky (Knock on wood), that it has run pretty well over the last 2 years. I did experience the same problem you described when we were at Spyderfest. In our case, it was the throttle body and they were able to replace...

    Mechanical issues

    If your mileage has been going up, I think you're good on the throttle body. We watched the mileage drop a bit on the way to Cuba (didn't think much about it as we were hurrying) and the tank the throttle body failed on only managed 80 miles to empty. I was a bit nervous on the way home (about...
