• 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.

    Drops of Gas?

    Just came in from a ride and smelled gas after a couple of minutes. I looked under my RT and there was a couple of drops of something that had dripped onto the garage floor. It was gas. There is a tube on the right side coming through the side frame just behind the rad. Got any ideas were it is...

    Throttle body replacement

    All Models So from what I read all RT's are having issues with the throttle bodies!! I do hope BRP gets a fix before I have a problem. My 2010 RT has had no problems except my rear shock (4 replacements)

    Issues fitting Evo RT sway bar

    I did the Evo Swaybar first but found little difference. I waited for the Elkas because of the cost but after I put the Elkas on would not be without!! The Swaybar is all I needed on my 08 GS but the RT is a whole different machine!

    Issues fitting Evo RT sway bar

    I have both the Evo Swaybar and Elka shocks on my 2010 RT. The Swaybar does not hit with the Elkas because the Elkas hold the RT up higher off the ground and the A arms are not resting on the Swaybar. Hope this helps.

    Bike is away for winter

    Miramara Beach Sorry to hear that your Spyders are away for the winter. I brought mine here to Florida for the winter. I just got back from a ride and the sun is shinning and 70 degrees out there. It will cool down here but can still get out for a spin.

    Throttle body replacement

    Replacement?? Just wondering about replacement of throttle body, are only the 2011 models affected? When you mention replacement, do mean reprogramming or complete replacement? Why would they replace if so? It doesn't sound good for owners!

    Exhaust noise

    I to think the Spyder engine is noisy but the is because of design, a big bore twin, well not big enough for me but I am talking this VTwin. It would be better with a V4 and smoother to boot. I hope BRP are working on one as I type this message!!

    WARNING FOR ALL RT OWNERS * You may want to check this on your machine

    ? about Front Tires

    One front tire worn is not an alignment issue but a worn suspension part. If you hit a curb or something bigger then that could be another issue. Remmeber that the steering is centered by Buds so if the toe in was off both tires would wear, not one.

    Major tire wear issue

    Not sure if this if worth saying but my tech guy took a good look at my front tires when I took it in for a new rear tire install at 12,000 miles. I asked him if there was a problem and he said he has had a couple of guys with wear issues but mentioned that if you hit something you can cause...

    Drive Belt Tension

    While at my dealer not to long ago I talked to the tech guy and he had a Spyder apart, a complete engine tear down out of warranty because the guy did his own belt tension and over tightened it and took out the sprocket bearings. If you do your own then I would suggest a loose setting with Capt...

    Quart of Oil every 2000 Miles on Spyder RT 2010 -SE5 12K ???

    I also used Mobil1 in my GS but not in my RT because the new Mobil 1 has a different rating and is bad for the wet clutch. My GS only used less then half of what I put in my RT.

    coolant leak 2011 rts

    Mine leaked and Scotty is right it was a hose clamp. Looking through the side lower panel on the right side of the bike reveals a hose with a screw clamp, a turn with a flat screw driver stopped my leak. Good luck.

    Swap out rear tire after 12,000 miles on RT ? - Moderate riding.

    To much air is so right !! I only put 24 psi and have talked to guys that put less. I did check the rear pressure after a long ride with two up and it was at 27 psi hot so that means it is normal heat build up. If I was using to low a pressure it would have been higher. I never tied anything...

    Synthetic Oil

    My mpg's got better with brake-in mileage. I don't think full synthetic ads enough to be noticeable and sometime it all depends on which way the wind is blowing to get better or worse mpg's.

    Oil Strainer

    I to used a screw clamp once I cut off the oem clamp. By the way, the screen looked clean as a whistle. I do have a gold plug with a magnet on it in the resivoir and never found anything on it. I guess the screen is a precaution measure?

    My Relaxed Pegs

    Well, Just thought I would see if my Hwy pegs could be seen. I made them once I saw them in another post but with Elkas I have more ground clearance, 5 1/2 inches so think it poses no problems. I can now stretch my legs down in front of the footpegs but not out sideways as my hip joints don't...
