• 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.

    BRAKE FAILURE!!

    Newbie question This thread reminded me of something I meant to ask about. !!Dumb Question Alert!!! IIRC, the manual says not to use brake fluid from an open container. It sounds like you guys make small additions when required and apparently carry it on long trips for that purpose, which makes...

    The Perils of Cicadas

    Love/hate relationship I love the song of the regular cicadas we have here in VA. To me, it's one of THE sounds of summer. But the 17-year monster invasions are something else. We just had ours about 3 years ago, and they were literally everywhere. It's interesting for awhile, but it gets old...

    Bike Barn modification

    Question on moth balls This sounds like a great idea, but the directions on the mothballs have all sorts of warnings about their toxicity and also says they're harmful to some plastics. Has anyone had any problems with the plastic or other components on the Spyders from using mothballs in a...

    Spyder Sightings

    First sighting in VA I saw my first Spyder today (6/18), a cognac RT (I think; it was following a motorcycle, and I didn't see it in time to react or get a good look:opps:) traveling on Rte. 20 in VA heading from Orange toward Rte. 3. I was on my red RTS. I know there are Spyders in the...

    Here's how I got a spare key for my Spyder!

    Cloning? I thought the chip in the key couldn't be copied except by a dealer (I have a 2012 RTS). Are you saying any key maker, like a hardware store, can make a functioning ignition key? Would they have the blank, or would I have to buy one online? I'd love to have a couple of spares.

    Bike Barn Hurricane Force Winds ;)Thanks! I read your post on the modification, and I'm thinking about it, but as you can see from my photos, I don't have a plywood platform so I can't bolt the fasteners down. I'm thinking of some kind of mod of the mod to make it work, but I'll have to...

    Good to know That's very encouraging, since I live right around the corner from you (Lake of the Woods in northern Orange County). I got the dehumidifier that Bike Barn sells when I bought the BB, and it's probably similar to what you have. I haven't hooked it up yet, but I never thought it...

    Full cover I paid the list price minus 15%. I knew the Spyder would be outside and needed immediate protection. Once you get a routine down, it doesn't take long to put on the cover, and even less to take it off. I just folded the front and back ends onto the seat, forming a long sausage...

    Need Help With Outdoor RT Covers..

    BRP cover I used the BRP full cover before I got the Bike Barn, and it did very well through several heavy rains. It's very heavy duty and well made. I didn't want to have to take it off and put it on every time, although it wasn't hard, just annoying, especially if it was wet. I also worried...

    Topping off the oil

    Two newbie questions. (i) When the oil on the dipstick is approaching the lower "fill" line, how much oil needs to be added to get it back to the top line, approximately? The manual just says to add "a small amount" of oil and run it through the drive, idle, test cycle again (and again) until...

    Winter worries I know. My dealer doesn't have room to store bikes, but I'm thinking of asking other dealerships of other brands if they might, or I might try to find a temperature-controlled self-storage place with electricity for a battery tender. I also have the BRP full cover, and I'll use...

    Bike Barn 2 As far as winter is concerned, the Barn is rated for about 75 lbs of snow, but you have to sweep it off if it's accumulating (see the FAQ page on their website). Somebody posted awhile ago that they didn't do that once, and it collapsed but wasn't actually damaged (nor was their...

    Bike Barn I bought a Bike Barn (http://www.thebikebarn.net/model_trike.html), and I'm very pleased with it. They make a trike size that fits my RTS with about 6-8 inches on each side and plenty of room back to front. It's very sturdy and the canvas is heavy. Most people put down plywood, but I...

    BRP CanAm FREE 3-Wheel Course Opportunity

    Still weird I got through step 1, but there's nothing on the next page about getting a license for free. Must have detected my location (VA) and found nothing available(?), or maybe I'm just cursed. Thanks anyway.:D
