• 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.

    Anybody used Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-40 A3/B4 Adv Full Synthetic Motor Oil?

    Anyone using Castrol Actevo 4T 10W/40? It is a blend, and MA/MA2 rated with a motorcycle shown on the front of the container. It is what I'm looking for and the weight specified in the Owner's Manual. Readily available at Walmart. Amazon comments are all good for motorcycle use in Florida...

    Who Uses Shell Rotella T-6

    Rotella T6 5/40, I've not been able to find 10/40 or I would use it. I've often wondered if Rotella T5 blend 5/40 would be OK but haven't tried it. If I'm gonna get up under there and go through the motions, might as well go for the best. I've also thought about T6 15/40 since I live in FL...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed a show chrome shock under my seat, finally! Hallelujah! One OEM BRP replacement by the dealer, it failed; so I got the Show Chrome; & I now have access to my fuel filler. Wow, what a difference! I'm sure there are those that had an easy time with that install, I did not, but I got it...

    Do Spyder Drive Belts age or wear out?

    I am totally amazed at BRPs ability to build the Spyder with parts that just seem to last forever, and then there are seat and rear trunk OEM shocks that are just plain trash.

    Do Spyder Drive Belts age or wear out?

    Thanks Ron, gives me confidence, but then, I'm not a hard rider. The 20 RTL is perfect for me. Minor problem, it awaits in the garage for me to climb up under to release the clip that holds the seat shock in the up position. Now to do that, I need to wait for my hip to heal from some work on...

    HowTo: RT seat and trunk shock strut replacement

    Sadly 2dogs what you post is true. I keep saying I sure like my 2020 RTL, on the long ride I always have that uneasy feeling this thing is gonna crap out on me a long way from nowhere but that can happen with the TriGlide or whatever. Not that I am partial to HD, not so, just they seem to be...

    HowTo: RT seat and trunk shock strut replacement

    Well said 2dogs. One would think BRP would get the message, they don't. They sell enough without getting the message.

    Looking at Slingmods Luggage Rack - any feedback? How does it look on '24 RT?

    Wow, a whole month, enjoy the journey. My rack does a good job on a week, or more, getaway for the two of us I have a rain proof bag I usually put light items in, like clothes. Just a quick bungie release and take it to your room. 47 gallons capacity and the rack works good. Might not be...

    HowTo: RT seat and trunk shock strut replacement

    Finally broke down and ordered the seat shock from SpringMods. Ordered springs to go on the cheap and alll I did was cause myself a lot of grief trying to make it work. I'm sure it must work for some, but not me. After having the OEM shock replaced free of charge by my dealer, and it too...

    BRP Connect - Sygic GPS starts but then says "App not available"

    I have found it much less stress to give up on BRP Connect and the radio function. To be clear, I love my RTL, but these items I really don't need. jus sayin.

    2020+ SEAT Strut issues - a different solution!

    Thanks PW, I think this what I'm looking for. I've been fussing around with this problem for a while now spending a few $ here and there and getting springs that don't work, and don't fit. Not spending $40 right now on a new strut, pulling off tupperware and up under the machine, maybe later...

    Ridenow Powersports Jacksonville will not service - any bike shops that will?

    Good information SpyderC. Here's the thing, some of us have reached that point in that it has become difficult to do the routine maintenance, you know, oil and filter change, even air in the rear tire. So the answer for some of us is the dreaded trip to the dealer and who knows if they are...

    2020+ SEAT Strut issues - a different solution!

    Well, I need to check this out since mine is a 2020 RTL. Shooter, can you be specific on the Amazon spring that fits, I did a search and couldn't find it.

    Ridenow Powersports Jacksonville will not service - any bike shops that will?

    I ride an hour to get to Sky Power, I like the writer there, but man, you need to check constantly if your Spyder is ready, or you will sit in the separate bldg motorcycle sales forever. Obviously, I just don't do dealers unless it's out of my realm of routine maintenance. They're such a hassle.

    Danzguy, what Spyder do you have year, mod? I have a 2020 RTL, want to know if the springs you got from Amazon will fit my strut.

    Oil analysis @ 3 years & 9500 miles.

    Right Bob, that was my interpretation, quite impressive. I do read the oil threads right on through the pop corn people.

    Safe Cracker, that spring idea sounds very interesting, can you be more specific, like spring size, how the install goes, maybe a pic? Thanks.
