• 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.

    2018 RTL - Left the key on, battery dead

    Somehow I left the key on for a few days, battery dead. Jump started it then looked at codes, man that throws a lot of codes. A short ride to charge battery a little and I got to see limp home mode. Took battery out and am charging it with garden tractor and jumper cables. some times I wonder at...

    2019 Spyder RT Limited - Firmware Updatee

    Wouldn't be great if BRP would program the cancel feature to use the same function as turning it on? You could turn a blinker on as you do now but to cancel you 'turn it on' again. The logic should be easy to program. When you hit the switch, the computer would check to see if it is already on...

    clock

    When you make changes to the clock settings you have to verify the changes by hitting the check mark moving the 'mouse' button to the right. The check mark will blink and settings will be saved. Hope this helps. The check mark will show up as you move the highlight to the minutes. The check mark...

    14 RTS your experience?

    2014 RTL had only one issue. Shortly after we bought it the right side panel split near the passenger foot rest. Warranty took care of it.

    ECM Went Crazy

    I agree. During the boot up of the computers, the process missed a bit or two of data and failed the bootup. The second time you tried all worked as normal. Most likely won't happen again IMHO. =bob=

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    Update: Shortly after my last post, the park brakes started working and have continued to work, over the last 800 miles. Parts took a while to get to dealer because one of them got lost in customs in KY and had to be reordered. We trailered them to the dealer earlier this week for the repairs...

    Buds

    You people that have purchased BUDS, what was your motivation? Curiosity, education, remote dealer, inadequate service or some other reason?

    Buds

    In the thread about the 20.8 software upgrade, you mentioned you needed another cable to do the software upgrade. Is every thing else included and what is the USB cable you had to purchase used for? =bob=

    Buds

    I'm considering getting BUDS as my dealer is ~200 miles away. Those of you who have purchased it, where did you purchase it and approximate cost? I have seen it with dealer license for $400 to $700 dollars. Dealer support? What is needed in terms of software, cables and spyder specific items...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    Yikes, just to see the WPM you have to go so far as removing windshield support and console. I didn't go that far, I just got the plastic in front removed and dealer called to say the codes were caused by bad parking brake motor. They are ordering the parts and will let me know when they are in...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    trikermutha, I have 12.4 volts on one of the bikes and 12.6 volts on the other with engines turned off so have good voltage. You said you 'wait for the red blinking parking light to go away'. On both bikes, when the brake is on, the light is on, when the brake is off the light is off, no...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    I agree it's weird. The Champagne one was the first to show it. It has happened a couple of times but was cleared by turning key off and turning back on once or twice. It hasn't happened for three days now. The Blue one, it happens pretty regularly and even had to be manually released to get in...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    Loosen the back 12mm nut to loosen the cable in the bracket. The bracket has a slot that allows the cable to slide out releasing the parking brake. The brake arm will move toward the rear releasing the brake. The cable will ride there disconnected just fine. Our bikes are new and there is not...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    This morning both were working again. When I push the PB button, if it is working the motor runs. If it starts flashing. the motor will not run and brake stays set. Another interesting thing is, when it is in the failing mode the bike knows I pushed the button. For example, I turn the key on...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    I checked it this morning and it throws code P1571 when it happens. Turning the key off and waiting till the blinking goes out then trying again worked. The code clears when it works correctly.

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake Indicator Light Flashing

    We have a couple 2018 RTLs. We have seen this issue on both. When we push the button to release the parking brake, the indicator light will start flashing. Sometimes the brakes will release others times they will not. Pressing the button or holding the button pressed will not stop the flashing...

    2018 RTL versus 2014 RTL

    I think the back is healed up fine as far as the broken stuff. I get back aches when doing odd tasks, like bending over cooking or leather work, but I think that is getting better as well. I ride with an Air Hawk pad as well and have for years, relief for tired butt. We added Lamonster foot pegs...
