• 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.

    GW Motor Trike vs. RT-S SE5

    I use the Gerbing jacket liner on my RT with no problems. The jacket liner is the best thing I have added, if I am cold I just turn it up, hot turn it down.

    Spyderfest Hotels sold out!

    I just made reservations at the Day's Inn in St James 573 265 2900; they still have rooms. I think Spyderfest will be huge this year since rooms are already getting hard to find.:thumbup:

    Heated Clothing and the Spyder Electrics

    Just got back from a 4,000 mile trip to Yellowstone. One morning when going from Dubois Wy to Yellowstone the temp was 27, my Gerbing liner kept me warm. It is great to be able to turn a dial and adjust the temp as warm as I wanted to be. The electric liner is the best touring thing I have...

    Parking Brake Spring Replacement Bulletin 2011-9 Back Orderd?

    I have an 2010 RT, with 19,000 miles. I had it back to the dealer twice with parking break problems, I do not consider this a major issue. Today when I picked up my Spyder after getting a new rear tire they let me know that they had replaced the parking break spring. When I questioned this...

    Fuel Filter

    The owers manual calls for the fuel filter to be changed at 19,000 miles, this seems like a strange number since it does not correspond to any other service. I now have 19,000 miles and would like to wait until the 24,000 mile service to make the change. Have any of you delayed changing the...

    Amsoil

    I appreciate all of the information. My real question was not so much about any brand of oil but about switching from the recommended 5-40 to 10-40. I think I am going to make the switch.

    StarTron

    I have have used my first bottle of StarTron Enzyme Fuel Treatment and my mpg has increased 9.2%. Is this stuff good or bad for the engine? When on a trip it will be nice to go a little further between stops.

    Amsoil

    I appreciate the advice, I have about 19,000 miles on the Spyder; I change the oil at 3000 miles but would like to extend the interval between changes when I am on a trip. I am hoping Amsoil would allow me to do that.

    Amsoil

    I am thinking of changing the oil that I am using from BRP to Amsoil, but I noticed that Amsoil motorcycle oil comes in 10-40 and the Spyder manual says to use 5-40. Is this a problem? What are this of you using Amsoil doing and will the heavier oil cause any problems? Thanks for the help Dan

    2010 to 2011 RT shock upgrade

    I made this change back in April, since I have covered about 9,000 miles, and yes it was worth it. I changed the shock body, adjusters and bolts, the cost was about $200. And was easy to do, took about two hours. I noticed the biggest change in crosswinds. Rode through Oklahoma and I had 50...

    Oil screen

    Can anyone give me some idea of what is involved in cleaning the screen on the oil tank? Can I reach the screen from the bottom when I change the oil? How often are you cleaning the screen? Thanks

    Suggestions for improvement to BRP

    It is interesting to see peoples perception of the cost of the Spyders, yes they cost a lot of money but my RT was the cheapest thing I found on three wheels except for the RS. Some people want compare them to two wheeled Gold Wings, HD and BMW's but it is not the same. I did not buy and...

    Rain gear and wet crotches

    I have had really good luck with the Frogg Togg bib overalls. I purchased them as a single item not a set, they were about $60. The material seems thicker than the Frogg Togg set that I have. I have ridden through some very heavy all day rains with no leaks but my RT does a good job of rain...
