• 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.

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    Thanks, Dennis. I must have picked up a couple of the wrong size washers off the floor and being such a simple fix makes me feel a bit stupid but sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of eyes. Went on a 400km ride to the magnificent Widden Valley today and it's changing like a new one (or as we...

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    Fixed! We had a shed day here yesterday, where we gather to tell lies and do work on the Spyders of those who aren't experienced in these machines. Anyway, one of our members, Adrian (you may have seen some of his DIY videos), spotted the problem. The 2014s, unlike previous models, have...

    Neoprene Motorcycle Grips vs Foam Grips

    I have used Grip Puppies (foam) for many years and they have never broken down. Some sellers just use a bit of refrigeration insulation which will not stand up to constant use but Grip Puppies use foam which does not do this.

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    Thanks, Dennis and everyone else for your input. I think I have now tried everything that I reasonably can. I guess, for now, I'll just leave it slightly loose and check it each time before I ride as part of my usual routine. I know the dealer will have kittens again at the next service but I'm...

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    Dennis, sorry to keep asking you questions but can you tell me whether you now have any movement in the boards, particularly fore and aft? I have about half an inch both ways on the shifter side but no movement on the brake side. Also what size are the flat washers? Robert

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    Yes, I did exactly what you did, had to cut the bolt on the RHS and bought another one. I think that Rivco don't realise that the 2014s are different from earlier models. When you say that you installed the 2 flat washers at both ends of the "shaft" for want of a better word, how tight did you...

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    Thanks for all the helpful replies. At the moment, I can't get under the bike to take a photo (bad back) but what is frustrating is that I can't find a drawing of the manual shift lever and where it connects to the gearbox. If I could, it would help to know what all the parts are and where they...

    Thanks for that reply. Whilst I'm not happy that you have the same issue, it's good to feel that I'm not alone! Robert

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    I posted about this a while back but I'm still having some issues so I thought I'd ask for some more help. My previous issue was / is that if I tighten up the the LHS floorboard so that there is zero movement, the gear shift lever also becomes tight, so I have to leave it slightly loose. Since...

    Shortee Antena

    Don't forget to use thread locker - mine wanted to unscrew until I realised that Loctite (blue) was my friend.

    1330, The Great Oil Debate!

    My owner's book states that BRP's or any other blended oil is a minimum and goes on to say that you can use any synthetic oil with the standards stated. For me that means use fully synthetic.

    Install time

    Pre 2014 models were/are much easier to install than the 2014s. About 1/2 an hour vs about one and a half hours.

    Smooth Spyder Tensioner - Advice needed

    Yep, I agree. I have had no vibrations from the belt on my 14 RT at 2500km.

    Horsepower

    There is probably a speed limit set in the ECU but I've no idea what it would be.

    Gas additives/octane boost

    Does the 1330 engine have a knock detector to adjust the timing if the fuel is pre igniting? If not, be careful because knocking from too low octane can be fatal for your engine. If it does have this feature, no worries but where I am (Australia) BRP insist on nothing less than 95 RON (different...

    Final word on 1330 oil changes

    If the dealer told you this, they have told you an old husband's tale. As long as you are using a motorcycle oil, fully synthetic will have no effect on the wet clutch but it will provide superior lubrication compared to a blended oil or a dino oil. If you were to use a synthetic car oil, it...

    Another 2014 Thread

    I had far too many issues with my 2011 RT, so I traded it on my 2014 RT. It's probably tempting fate to say this but I'm really liking the 2014.

    Does ECO mode actually effect throttling?

    My thoughts exactly. Travelling at a steady speed requires a certain amount of energy, ECO mode or not, so I don't see an advantage in using ECO while cruising on a highway. Some say that doing this improves their fuel economy but I don't understand how; any explanations?
