• 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.

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

    Early Spyders came with full synthetic and BRP switched in 2010 to the Blend. My tech guy said that BRP felt it was better. Mine still used oil and after two oil changes decided to go to full synthetic and picked Amsoil because of it's 10W/40 blend. It still needs adding but not as much. Those...

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

    I agree with Scotty about the synthetic getting past the rings but I used BRP's blend thinking it might be better but with Amsoil full synthetic I add less and think the oil is just going past the rings and 1 quart for 3000 or 2000 miles is acceptable to any manufacturer. My Spyder is the first...

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

    Nature of the beast!!! I agree, a quart in 3000 miles give or take a few ounces. I start checking mine at about 1000 miles then every 600 miles, Lamont is right about high speed driving. My air box was not coated in oil, very little in there so i would think it goes past the rings. German built...

    Issues fitting Evo RT sway bar

    RT Swaybar The first thing I bought for my RT in 2010 was the Evo Swaybar. It does not do what it did for my 08 GS that it did for my 2010 RT. Yes it seems that the link ends are strained and yes I think they should be stronger, maybe aluminum. One thing to remember is that the original...

    Mirror Clips

    15-20 times, wow! Mine have been off no more then 5 times and I even found my top plastic clip slightly Broken and in need of replacing. I think my tech guy pulled to hard to release the bottom that it pulled on the top clip. I found trying to push the mirrors back on was hard and I could not...

    Mirror Clips

    Just got back from the local dealer and lucky me he had a used clip that was replaced with a new one. He just gave it to me and it went in easy but those mirrors!! I never paid much attention to them before, they suck. They feel loose and wish they were mounted better. Think I'll replace all the...

    Mirror Clips

    I have been here I Florida for a few days now but no Internet until now. A bad wire outside and it took a couple of days to get someone here to fix it. Anyway, still got to get to the local dealer for a couple of spring clips. Lamont, my mirrors have only been on and off 3 times. First service...

    Mirror Clips

    Well, I am on my way south for the winter, Florida that is with Spyder in tow. I had my 12,000 mile service done just before leaving. I was wiping my Spyder down and noticed one of my mirrors loose and after taking it off as it almost fell off in my hands, I found one of the clips broken. Looks...

    Street Magic stuff and more to install soon!

    Congrats! I to will not change my 2010 RT for the 2012 model. I guess I to have me RT just the way I want it and BRP needs to bring out something better before they will get more of my money. My Elkas were the best add on that I made then came my belt tensioner and foot pegs that I made myself...

    Vibration...again

    Belt tensioner I have the belt tensioner on from Capt Jim and I can run my RT in 5th gear down to 3500 rpms and not notice any vibration. I don't run at that low an rpm but can run at 4000 with no problem

    New Rear Tire

    Not to sure about that. Once in gear the clutches are fully ingaged and should not slip or cause wear, I would think. I took a couple of car courses and one thing the instructor told us was that brake pads are cheaper then clutches and easier to replace. He suggested to use the brakes not the...

    New Rear Tire

    I just had a new Kenda installed and after talking to a few guys who run lower then recommended tire pressure I have decided on 24 psi in my rear tire and no noticeable difference on handling even at high speeds. One thing I did notice on my new tire even with lower pressure is the high center...

    12,000 Mile service

    My trailer was made here by a local guy, a first for a Spyder. I have a friend who bought a factory built but it was tight between the front wheels so this guy built it to my specs. I have an inch and a half on either side of the tires and chucks for the front tires. All aluminum to keep the...

    12,000 Mile service

    Drive belt tension settings have been lower since 2010. The belt was to tight before and there were some issues so BRP lowered the tension settings. I have not heard they changed it again. My dealer has one apart because the owner did his own belt adjustment and he must have tightened it up to...

    12,000 Mile service

    Spyder Done Just picked up my Spyder from my 12,000 mile service. I did pretty good as I had a rear tire, and brake pads done as well. Also a 12 volt outlet added up front. Total labour charge was $620.00. Parts and Tax were extra. The valves were all within spec and none were tight. My tech...

    yet another oil question

    Blends Lets get one thing strait, a blends means what? They or should I say BRP/ Castrol can put 10% Synthetic oil with 90% mineral oil and call it a blend so unless it says Semi (half&half) synthetic then who knows how much synthetic you are getting in a blended bottle of oil. I will use Full...

    Wedge Mount to level off top of dash !

    My mount I plan on putting a gps on my RT but not on top of the dash. A friend has a basic garmin out in the weather for two years now on his Harley so I am going that way as well but I plan on mounting mine under the dash in front of the gauge plugs that are unoccupied on my base RT. I am...
