• 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.

    I met Steph and Mike at the Hot Springs rally and had them do some stuff to the bike. Very nice people.

    Review: Spyder Extras Flip Up Seat Support Bracket

    I think you meant slingmods or SE performance? Unless “SE Performance” is also SpyderExtras but I’ve never heard them mention it.

    Brake pad rubbing noise - what is the correct way to fix this?

    Thanks. Maybe when I actually change the brakes, I might try silicone. It's interesting that even among the experienced and pros, there is hardly ever a consensus on "best". Love it, sort of! lol

    RT 1330 Spark plug changeout. Parts 1 & 2

    I replaced that foam with new foil lined heat resistant foam when I installed the vent kit. Some goo-gone and elbow grease got all the old stuff off pretty easily. The bike does sound very different after doing this. What I used: https://a.co/d/954pAH6

    My new baby - which gas? 87, E10, or is 91 octane better?

    When going through Oklahoma, gas choices can get limited. At one point I had my choice between 93 octane/10% ethanol, or 87 octane/zero ethanol. I’ve heard so much talk about ethanol being bad, I wasn’t sure which would be the wiser overall choice. What about pure 87 vs e10/93? Pure 91 vs...

    Did oil change & checked level properly; NO oil showing on dip stick - any ideas?

    I like the "touch the towel" idea to find the wet spot. ;) What happened to the dipsticks of old with the little holes in them? They were so much easier to read.

    Wondering how many owners do not know this is possible?

    Good one. This is right up there with "you don't have to wait for the safety message to appear before hitting mode and starting your bike"!

    Brake pad rubbing noise - what is the correct way to fix this?

    I feel like I can do that pretty easily with the caliper on, the brake cleaner spray, and a rag on a paint stirrer. Then I lubed the back of the pad plate with a very thin layer of anti-seize before sliding it back in. No bueno?

    Brake pad rubbing noise - what is the correct way to fix this?

    What does cleaning the caliper properly entail? Other than spraying wiping the caliper surface, which really wasn’t bad?

    Spyder crash, Prayers for this family

    I read something on here early on that has always stuck with me, and I do at every intersection ... "even if you make eye contact, watch their wheels.... if they start turning...."

    What's best for Cold weather winter storage? Fuel additive? Battery care? Rodents?

    What's your thinking behind this? I thought the whole point of a tender vs. a trickle charger was that it was smart and didn't need unplugged? My tender even has some "cycles" it's supposed to periodically go through. I was under the impression it was ok to leave plugged in full time, all...

    Rear axle nut cover fell off - doesn't 'snap' on! Anyone lost one?

    I've never had the one on the right side of my RT since I bought it (used). Figured it was cosmetic. If I really should have one, for dirt or something, I'll buy one I guess.

    Brake pad rubbing noise - what is the correct way to fix this?

    Same topic, different question: I just came across a post that says the front caliper screws torque spec is 50lbs. I had to apply a LOT more pressure than that to remove them, so I re-tightened them when I put it back on about as much as I could with a 10-inch socket without fear of moving the...

    Brake pad rubbing noise - what is the correct way to fix this?

    This is good and funny stuff, but back to the main topic, sort of... I removed the first side's caliper, and I am fairly certain I was the first person to do so. I cleaned it up a bit, but came to the conclusion there wasn't much more to do with it other than put it back on (I confirmed both...

    Recall - 2017-2019 RT and F3 Engine Output Shaft Can Break!

    That was BRP's generic VIN search tool, not specific to this recall. I think that message indicates that BRP doesn't know anything about my bike... which is disturbing.
