• 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.

    Just When You Think You've Seen It All...

    That depends a great deal on a number of factors, including pad quality, riding style, and vehicle weight. But I would say a swag might be 20k. Some manage to go through a set in less than 10k, others, on rare occasions, get close to 40k. Using engine braking to slow you down makes a great deal...

    Nice People in Tennessee

    These same false ideas spread well beyond our borders. People in different parts of the world have very skewed ideas about America. As I suspect we suffer similar errors regarding other countries. I've been to Kathmandu, Nepal a few times. People there have said things to me that initially...

    Happy 250th Birthday America!

    Though unfortunately, you are correct, I try to look past that fact whenever possible, which isn't always an option. Still, it's easier to get better if we expect better. And we should appreciate it wherever we find it.

    Nice People in Tennessee

    I agree. And without getting political, there are those who try to portray us as clannish and disliking those who don’t fit into our mold. When I proposed moving from San Diego to East Tennessee my West Coast friends said that I would not be accepted here, etc. But I've found the opposite to be...

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    #23 - Trials on Trips... Lamont and I put a lot of miles on motorcycles together. The stories I've relayed here are just a sampling of our adventures. Over the years, I attempted, several times, to get him into helmet coms. But he was always adamantly opposed to the idea. In the beginning it...

    Rodents chose my 16 RTL as a home

    When you get something like this, it's best not to ask. In the end, it doesn't matter anymore. But if we fix it and they take it back to the same location... Well, you get the drift.

    My 2014 Spyder RT won’t go into Reverse when warmed up. Works fine when cold. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sounds like an oil pressure issue. But it shifts into other gears OK when warm, I assume. How is your oil level?

    Happy 250th Birthday America!

    Everyone has their niche, their area of excellence. Some are better at it than others. But we all do our part in this world. And that makes everything better than it was when we began. In that respect, we are all heroes, sung or unsung. You know in your heart if you've done a good job. And that...

    Rodents chose my 16 RTL as a home

    This is a Spyder we just took in. Not surprisingly, it has a good many serious and expensive issues. - -

    Goodbye

    NO!~ No No... You have to read from the beginning of the tread. Don't jump to conclusions. If Lamont did try to leave, we'd all get together and drag him back! ;-) He's got his hands full right now with other things. And he's not posting much, if at all. But that is understandable. Still, I'll...

    Old Gold Wing rider considering a 2012 RT need help finding a fair value for it and advice.

    The 998 vs 1330 is one of those everlasting debates. Many (including myself) love the V-Twin. Especially in the non-RT models. It's great for carving up the pavement. But the RT is not designed for that and the 1330 definitely fits that model better. And I must admit a fondness for my 2015 F3S...

    Happy 250th Birthday America!

    Wildland firefighting is considered, by some in the profession, as a 2nd class, 'wannabe' position. I did 2/3's of my career in wildland, mostly in Southern California, though I fought fire all across the State and into other places that were burning down with vigor, like Montana and Wyoming...

    How noticeable is the Engine heat: F3 vs RT?

    Just Google whether your state or local requires an inspection of motorcycles, (or 3 wheeled vehicles if your juristiction makes this distinction). If you do, then you may encounter issues. If not, then it is extremely unlikely that you will have any problems. The other fact is that swapping...

    Old Gold Wing rider considering a 2012 RT need help finding a fair value for it and advice.

    Like any vehicle, trying as many as you can will answer a lot of your questions in ways that a text reply here isn't going to be able to do. The 2012 was a decent year for the Spyder RT. 30k on a decently maintained Spyder is no big deal. But you may find your local dealership may not work on a...

    Where can I find this 80 Amp alternator fuse?

    As PDXRTL reports. A fusable link is a fusable link. Any one of the correct amperage that will fit will work just fine. Your Spyder will never know the difference. And probably for a good deal less money and wait time than the BRP replacement.

    How noticeable is the Engine heat: F3 vs RT?

    One of the best, simplest, and cheapest ways to reduce engine produced rider heat on the Spyder is to remove the plastic splash panels from the bottom of the frame. This gives heat buildup in the engine compartment somewhere to go other than on you or your passenger. Not to mention the added...

    Where to find the RT-L Air filter - it's not where my Owner's Manual suggests!

    The industry standard, worldwide as far as I know, is left and right are as the driver is seated on (or in) the vehicle unless otherwise specifically noted. This eleminates the issue of which side the driver finds themselvers. Other terms, such as driver's or passenger side, can be found. But...
