• 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.

    PIcked up my 2013 RTS and noticed a few things others might want to know

    found something else new 16) Found out that they changed how the seat opens. Instead of turning the key while pushing down counter clockwise (this now is a frunk release) you actually have to turn the key clockwise while pushing down to unlock and lift the seat.

    PIcked up my 2013 RTS and noticed a few things others might want to know

    Hi, if you get a 2013 hitch you shouldn't have any issues. if you have the 2013 hitch, you should have no problem using a 2012 trailer. The mod is only need if you try to put a 2012 hitch on a 2013 bike.

    PIcked up my 2013 RTS and noticed a few things others might want to know

    I picked up my new blue 2013 RTS and noticed a few things I'm not sure I've read previously so I thought I would share. If this has been covered in another thread, I apologize. 1) The frunk space is naturally smaller because of the battery placement (my guess is 20%) 2) The mirrors have a bit...

    Elkas and 2013 rts. With the new frame were there be a need to change my settings?

    I will be at Spyderfest but I have a short window to next week to switch bikes and move upgrades from one bike to the other. I'm not the mechanical type but I think adjusting the Elkas falls into my limited capabilities. Is it clockwise or counter clock wise turns to reduce the loading? And if...

    Elkas and 2013 rts. With the new frame were there be a need to change my settings?

    Thanks for the input. Looks like I will move the Elka Shocks to my new bike. Naturally, the fun question will be finding the best method to correctly adjust them to fit the new frame setup beyond the dyno. I may be in for some trial and error. Unless maybe we can find out from BRP if they...

    Elkas and 2013 rts. With the new frame were there be a need to change my settings?

    I saw that post by Lamont. In it he seemed to be comparing a 2010 with stage 5 vs a new 2013 with updated shocks and frame. From what I read, I'm not certain that he meant to imply that the shocks themselves were superior to elkas. So I thought I would ask a clarifying question. I already own...

    Elkas and 2013 rts. With the new frame were there be a need to change my settings?

    Ok here's the question. I have a 2011 RT with Elka shots currently and have a new 2013 rts coming next week. I'm moving a lot of my addons to my new bike including my elkas. The question is does anyone know if my current settings need to be adjust due to the changes in the 2013 frame and...

    Air wing trick for those of us who ride even when its zero out

    Adding the photos in a different way Here are the pics, I hope this makes what I'm saying clearer. Note the inner panel is in front of the mounting brackets. Normally they are behind the mounting bracket and will swivel much like the regular top panel also show in the photo. Sorry my RT is...

    Air wing trick for those of us who ride even when its zero out

    Sorry Holiday or I would have responded earlier I was referring to what air wings call the inner panels. You can see them in the photos acinpola posted (thank you). They are the panels that are the top and closes to the spyder. By swamping the inner panels during winter it blocks even more...

    Air wing trick for those of us who ride even when its zero out

    If you own air wings (I have an RT but I think this will work on a RS) you may know they are great for helping keep the cold wind from blowing on you in the winter. However there is a large gap between the bike and the air wing. During the summer its not a big deal but in the winter you can...

    So I bought these great dual color fender lights at spyderfest. So the question is?

    How do you get the corresponding fender to flash when the turn signal is turned on. ( ie if you turn on the left turn signal the left fender blinks). I believe there is a control module out there which will control this function. I have an RT if it matters. Thank you for the help.

    Rt 622 barrel Lock install?

    Well I talked to a tech and he gave me the easy way. First put the key in the barrel. When you do so there will only be 1 pin sticking out. That pin should be positioned so that it is facing the top of the lock (12 o'clock ). There is a grove inside the lock on the bottom. The pin does NOT go in...

    Non BRP Trailer reviews?

    Hi. I looking to buy a trailer for my RT. I'm leaning towards one from minitrailerusa (our sponsor). I would love to here what people think of either their trailers or other non BRP trailers you may have bought. Please mention key things to look out for such as suspensions or how easy it is to pull.
