• 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.

    Callling it Quits

    Sorry to see you go. I was/am looking forward to years yet of riding my Spyder. I'm 62 and just recently diagnosed with serious A-Fib and tachycardia (180 beats per minute). Leaving Saturday for a bucket list ride to see the Fall foliage in New England by way of NC (home state), VA, WV, OH, PA...

    Driver's backrest adjustment?

    The RT's OEM backrest is NOT adjustable. A $22K F3's backrest is adjustable but a $30K RT Limited's is not?? I sit too far forward also with my crotch almost on the glove box. Someone suggested putting some washers as spacers under the seat to tilt the backrest back a little, but the shop told...

    First Multi-Day Trip Update

    I overcame some of the seat issues with an Air Hawk cushion on my silver 2012 RT-S SE5. Worked great. First trip was a 5,000 mile roundtrip from NC to the North Rim of Grand Canyon at the end of June 2103. The surrounding deserts were 113-117 degrees and thank God for liquid cooling with Engine...

Mine is from the navy and involves damaged internal organs for which I take mucho pills to keep 'em functioning. Pain, discomfort, fatigue, arrhythmia? Yes. Missing a limb or similar? No. Just a reminder that not...

    2016 RT rumor

    My dealer just told me they expect style changes for 2016, and that's why the rebates and 1.9% financing that ended at the end of July to move out the dealership stocks in prep. They opined that it may just be sports models, but who knows? The 2016's were due to come out at the end of July...

    Comfort seat vs ULTRA comfort seat

    My new 2015 RT Limited SE6 came with an "Ultra Comfort Seat". Can't find the difference anywhere between that and a "Comfort Seat" but supposedly there is one. Does anyone know what the difference is? Thanks in advance.

    NEW REAR TIRE AFTER ONLY 8002 MILES!

    2012 RT-S rear tire life Just traded in my 2012 RT-S SE5 for a 2015 Limited SE6. Had 11,200 miles on the tires and they looked brand new, front and back. I heard somewhere that 2014 tires didn't last and later in 2014 they switched back to the older tire and get better wear. I've often heard...

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    Ok. The Garmin came as standard equip on my new Limited so I didn't have much of a choice. I just wanted to know if the stems, etc, were already installed on the new RT Limited SE6's so all I had to do was was put the unit in the cradle. I'm a retired military electronics engineer but haven't a...

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    The new 590 replaced the older ZUMO 660 (the one you're probably referring to) in 2014, so it's not 6 year old tech. A touch of the power button will turn it off, so it doesn't have to be on all the time. There's a good user Youtube video review of the 590 here (though he doesn't realize he has...

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    I thought the Garmin Zumo 590 was new. It's bigger and heavier than previous models. What I found was it was introduced in 2014, replacing the older, smaller Zumo 660.

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    Hi Bob. Not "setup", but "set up", as in ready for. By "set up" I mean is the TPMS on the new 590 plug and play (ready to go) or are additional items needed to be able to monitor pressures.

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    Hi y'all. Haven't been on here in a while. Just traded in my 2012 RT-S SE5 for a 2015 RT Limited SE6 with the Garmin Zumo 590 GPS (expensive little bugger at $899 retail, but standard on a Limited). I take delivery tomorrow (Saturday 7/25).

    Should know this, but need help

    Didn't work? I copied the map pic and pasted it into my "signature". All it shows is the html code. No picture.

    Should know this, but need help

    I'm adding the travel map from Mytriplog.com to my signature. After going to settings>signature>insert code, I pasted the html code in the center and chose save, but all that shows is the html code instead of the map. What am I doing wrong? :opps:

    Strange rear air suspension action

    Wierd. I never noticed the down and back up before a month or so ago, and the tech didn't say anything about it being normal.

    Strange rear air suspension action

    Most times, a second or two after stopping, the rear end of the bike goes down an inch or so giving me a slight vertigo/elevator feeling, and usually goes back up again after a few seconds (I assume the compressor is correcting it). The tech at the dealership says he pressurized the system and...
