• 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.

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    FYI I just filed a complaint with the NHTA to get this officially on the record. I referenced this thread in my complaint as well.

    BRP Spyder investigation started. What will happen?

    Just got back from a ride of less than an hour in 70 degree weather and it still smells of strong gas fumes. When I parked it (in front of a box fan running at max) I used my temp gun to spot check for hot spots. Other than the expected heat on the exhaust system, the only other place I was...

    BRP Spyder investigation started. What will happen?

    So this pretty much sucks. My 2012 RTS is less than 3 weeks old and I have significant gas fume issues and the only parking I have for it is my in-house garage. Basically this investigation means I have to worry even more about a) the bike catching fire while I'm riding it or b) the bike...

    Any fumes on the 2014s?

    Wow that must be nice. My glove box is 110 degrees or more after a short ride. :(

    Great Deals

    Haha true. We do get some snow on occasion here but nothing like what I'm sure you guys get. :)

    Great Deals

    Nah, i bought my 2012 brand new a few weeks ago and it was a good deal and I plan on riding all winter unless we get snow. That's the benefit of 3 wheels right? :)

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    What is a reasonable surface temp for the gas cap area under the seat? I used a heat sensor on mine yesterday after a ride and it was seeing upwards of 150 degrees on the OUTSIDE of the tank (pic attached), who knows how much hotter it was on the inside. Yesterday wasn't even a hot day here. It...

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    This would explain why my diligent attention to filling the tank (and err'ing on the side of less gas in to prevent overfilling) hasn't fixed my gas smell after long/hot rides. :/ Is removing the evap canister my only real option here? The Spyder is effectively making the rest of my garage...

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    This seems to be getting worse with about 240mi on my Spyder so far. I rode to and from work last night and had a really strong gas fumes smell while sitting in traffic and once I parked it in the garage. It was so bad that my wife complained when she came home saying it was so strong in the...

    Ball hitch mounted bike rack

    I think ideally I wouldn't need to haul a trailer at all (for my solo trips). I'm wondering how easy it would be to mount one of these: http://www.yakima.com/shop/bike/roof/raptoraero to the Seal universal hitch mount bracket...

    Ball hitch mounted bike rack

    Thanks for the link, I didn't know this existed. I can see this being used for hauling my and my wife's bikes on long trips but I'm looking for something a bit more low maintenance for when I'm riding alone locally. It's also hella expensive. :/

    Ball hitch mounted bike rack

    Ok looks like I'll need to get something fabricated specific to my needs. Time to find a local blacksmith! :)

    Ball hitch mounted bike rack

    After I get my laser alignment and ROLO swaybars on my RTS I'm really hoping I can figure out a way to mount a bike rack. I've seen a few custom jobs in the forums here but I'm not ready to start drilling holes or fabricating my own metal just yet. :) I'm wondering what people think of...

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    I got my 2012 Spyder RTS earlier this week and today about an hour after getting home, my wife says "Do you smell gas"? I immediately when to the downstairs garage and the very strong smell of gasoline hit me right away. The Spyder had been sitting for about an hour after my 10mi ride home...

    Laser alignment done near Seattle

    Just got a 2012 RTS SE5 last week and top on my priority list is getting the laser alignment. Looking at ROLOs site it seems the closest "official" dealer is in Longview, WA ... about 150mi from where I live. :(Does anyone know of a place that does the ROLO laser alignment a bit closer to the...

    First order of business for Spyder RT-S SE5 newbie

    Related to the RPM question, how bad is stop and go slow traffic for the clutch? The last two days the ride to work and home has been traffic hell where I spend a lot of time at 10-15mph. Clearly I'm rolling low RPM at this speed in 1st gear. How bad is this for my clutch?

    First order of business for Spyder RT-S SE5 newbie

    Thanks for all the great replies and PMs. :) One thing someone PM'd me about was laser alignment. I checked the ROLO site and see the closest "dealer" that does this is 2 1/2 hours away from me. I don't want to do that type of mileage during the break-in period but will do it soon after...

    First order of business for Spyder RT-S SE5 newbie

    Thanks in large part to the advice received in this forum, I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a brand new 2012 RT-S SE5. Beyond the normal advice of drive safe, wear a helmet, don't be stupid ... what advice specific to the RT-S SE5 do you guys have for me? Based on reading through...

    Considering buying my first Spyder

    My wife and I are going to a 1.5 car arrangement which means I get to consider getting a Spyder. I've always thought they seemed great when they were announced but I never got the chance to really consider buying one. I'm thinking of getting a 2012 RT-S SE5 that is still brand new from a local...
