• 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.

    That's my thought too.:thumbup:

    1330cc K and N Air Filter for 2019 F3L

    Plus, K&N filter oil does dry out regardless of mileage so it requires more effort than a stock filter.

    At the dealer now - Help with tire size

    As stated, that tire size fits the rim perfectly with no issue.

    Q5 tire - Is that a brand or nickname to a certain type of tire?

    So no fender fitment trouble with the new front fender in that size?

    2015 RT OEM Shocks - how long do these things last?

    Honestly, the OEM shocks are rather bargain bin models. I would suspect they are significantly degraded by the 50k mile mark or less. It doesn't mean they don't work good enough. A Spyder isn't a moto GP bike, so it doesn't demand top shelf stuff so it's unlikely you'd notice the degradation...

    Baja Ron sway bars on the new RT.

    I added one onto my 2020 RTL (same as the 2021). I also agree that it's a nice upgrade, but not as dramatic as previous models. The difference is somewhat subtle, but noticeable.

    Quality Control on 2020-21 RT's? Owners comments?

    I've got a 2020 RTL and have about 11,000 miles on it so far. It has been reliable and drama free (knock wood), as did my previous 2014 RT. That one went over 60k miles before I got a new one just because. My here's my observations/criticisms about the newer design: The body work is not...

    Any feedback/comments on Driver Foot Board Risers from users?

    I did it. The Lamonster kit was (as usual) well engineered and very well made. The installation was easy and quick. The hardest part is supporting the weight of the floorboards while keeping the holes aligned as you insert the bolts. The difference is rather subtle, but noticeable. However...

    2012 RT I smell gas

    IMO, no. It's a nice touch and I did when I did it on my old bike, but I personally don't consider it a necessity.

    What's best for Cleaning the Windshield? Anyone use Pledge?

    Meguiar's G3626 Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax is what I use. It has a strong, but pleasant odor that could bother you. It works really well without any long term issues to clear plastics. That being said if odors bother you, soak a towel in water and place it over the windshield to rehydrate...

    Thoughts on this Bilt Bluetooth Helmet?

    Bilt gear is about the cheapest of the cheap. I bought one of them for a new rider with an eye toward upgrading if they took to riding. IMO, that's the only way to reasonable approach this line of helmets. Supposedly, after the buyout the Bilt and Sedici lineups started to be sold on...

    Lamonster Garage RT floorboard risers - adapter is here!

    I'm very short legged, but with a long torso, so the floorboards were a little low. Knowing that Lamont produces top notch stuff (being a many time happy repeat customer) I bought and installed these. Super easy and as usual, very well made and engineered. My only gripe was the brake pedal...

    2020 RTL Removing Brake Fluid Reservoir

    When I did my first oil change, after letting the dealer do the break-in service, which was part of the purchase deal. I found the tab that holds the rubber sleeve was broken and it fell apart when I took it off. :banghead: It wasn't important enough to me to get into an argument with the...

    2020 RT swaybar installed, possible oil leak found

    It might be just a sloppy fill. I recently did my first servicing on my 2020RT. (The dealer did the first one.) I've found the new panels and brake master cylinder reservoir location to be a negative. It's easier to get to, but it's harder to service cleanly, IMO.

    What type of coolant should I use?

    Topping off with any commercial coolant that is rated for all types is good. Color is a guide, but not a good one because different manufacturers dye their coolant different colors. Dexcool (GM) is the odd man out in the coolant world, and NOT to be used in a Spyder. If you want more you...
