• 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.

    bad throttle body

    Having read the problems with throttle bodies on this forum, when I brought my 2012 limited in for the 600 mile check up, I asked my mechanic if he stocked them. He smiled and said "wait a minute, I'll be right back". He pulled out an old one he had replaced, and told me that they run about...

    Problem free how long?

    I'm really not qualified not respond to this thread. I have about 1,000 mi on my 2012 RT limited. However..... If I'm ready to buy something (at let's say a department store) that costs maybe $300.00 +/-, and the extended warranty is 75 bucks. That's over 25% of the cost of the item. It would...

    how much wind, is too much wind

    Having never ridden a spyder (or a motorcycle since my youth for that matter), after the wow factor surrounding the appearance and specs of the RT wore off, it was really my faith in what many of you have talked about that got me to pull the trigger. And my faith in what you spyder addicts have...

    how much wind, is too much wind

    Wow! What a good day, thanks to all the great advice. Left the house for Hanover PA, about 8:00am this morning, for my 600 mile check up. Had the #3 factory setting on the shocks ramped up to 4 ( may try 5 at a later time ), oil change, tweeking etc.. Then headed out to Frederick Md for work (...

    how much wind, is too much wind

    Your not being facetious at all. I appreciate the responses. I'm still at the stage, that I don't know enough to ask the right questions. Good advice though. I'll take my highway progress with "baby steps"

    how much wind, is too much wind

    Been having fun with the new spyder. Mostly on country roads. Keeping it under 50-60mph. Taking it in for the 600 mi check up tomorrow morning, then heading out for a several hour trip. I've noticed during the few times I've taken the spyder on the highway, I've been buffeted by wind. Granted...

    spreading the joy

    Have had my spyder for 3 days now. Despite the demands of the work week, I've managed to put about 150 miles of pure joy on it. My wife and I just returned from the most fun grocery shopping trip we've ever had. As we were pulling into the driveway, my recently widowed 80 year old neighbor's...

    Happy new owner's first post

    Rather then respond to each generous welcome individually, I'll consolidate them here. Read the "Do's and Don't". Very good stuff. Thanks I bought the Lava Bronze limited with black seat. Was a virtual toss up between this and the white. Got the spyder from Moto Sports in Hanover PA. So far...

    Happy new owner's first post

    thank you The Mrs ( NOT the old lady :banghead: ) and I thank you all, for the warm welcome. And excellent tips. Particularly the thread for newcomers, good stuff. Feel like a kid who just got his license. Been buzzing all around. Went to the grocery store for a carton of orange juice ( I...

    Happy new owner's first post

    The Mrs ( should I now call her my "old lady" ) just drove our 2012 RT limited home. This is our first cycle. Never had a two wheeler, other than a mini bike as a kid. The can am was the only bike my wife was comfortable with. This forum has been instrumental in educating me, as I have been...
