• 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.

    Anyone used Pinlock Ear Plugs? Are the industrial plugs better?

    Thank you for your service. Yes I can imagine they'd be wee bit loud to be around. I used earplugs when I worked in a coal fired steam driven power station, and havent been there since 2001. The pinlocks are great, but I can buy 100 industrial ones for the same prices a 2 pack Pinklock.

    Anyone used Pinlock Ear Plugs? Are the industrial plugs better?

    I bought a set of Pinlock ear plugs at the bke shop recently and could not believe how much less fatigued I was after a shortish 300km ride. On the weekend the little red bits in the centre fell out of both (mates suspect they are rattling inside my head somewhere and have doubled my IQ :( )...

    What's causing this Wobble while braking?

    In my case on my '17 RTL it was a tie rod/ball joint. It had been at the dealership for a month before they picked it up (in their words "the computer says everything is ok"). They really dont like hard ABS inducing braking (where the rear wheel gets airborn) at hi speed. If you've had one of...

    Long term storage of spare tyre - how?

    Yes for some its mileage, but for me its better wet weather grip, better performance when I like to play, less vibration, and way better braking distance.

    Ironically your comment is exactly what I am beginning to feel is the issue. The kit is narrower than the old seal.

    Fuel Injector Cleaner When/How Much

    I had this same question recently. I've resorted to adding in an injector cleaner fluid every 5-10 thousand Kms with doses per the products instructions. Prior to this there would be times where my '17RTL would hesitate coming out of a stop sign, but haven't experienced it since doing this (it...

    RT622 Trailer weather seal kit fm Spyderpops won't quite fit - what've I missed?

    I recently purchased the replacement weather seal kit for the hoods on my 622 trailer from Spyderpops. After fitting the new seal I noticed the seal doesn't make contact with the hoods in some places, which would allow water+ wind to get in and dust. Is there an adjustment somewhere that I...

    Long term storage of spare tyre - how?

    I have just purchased a new rear tyre for my '17 RTL and the dealership offered a discount if I bought 2. Does anyone out there in tyre land know the best way to store the tyre for say 12 months. I've heard: Dont need to do anything wrap it in plastic Wrap it in plastic sandwich wrap/cling...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Now that would make up for it. Never seen a snowmobile in real life, is it as much fun to operate?

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    After having a number of issues with my driving lights/wiring/relay i ripped it all out. I had thought I had killed my Baja Designs S2 Pro Combo lights and in a last ditch effort connected them to an alternate power source - they were fine - phew - that was $600 i wasn't going to have to throw...

    Has anyone tried these Mods to their RT622 Lid Seals? Better ideas?

    Oh how I wish. As Pete stated, I am in OZ. I now barrack for the Canadian Swim Team - I think all parts for Spyders are transported by them across the Paciifc - strapped to their back. :)

    Has anyone tried these Mods to their RT622 Lid Seals? Better ideas?

    Hi Peter, I did just that. Went to Clark Rubber and grabbed the owner. We spent a few mins discussing a few options and he came up with some adhesive-backed EPDM rubber. I wasn't sure how long it would be before the new seals arrived from SpyderOps, and I'm taking the trailer on several rides...

    RT 2010-2019 - When your rear aquaplanes which way does your RT Swing?

    I took a trip up North of here and it poured the whole trip (about 3 hours), at times reduced to 70km/hr. My '17 RTL always swings to the right, it doesn't pull me off the direction of travel. Now that I'm used to it, it is less of a heartstopper. With the Kendas and Arachnid, it was a...
