• 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.

    BRP side boxes locked, no key, any ideas?

    Do you change the way you ride with a trailer attached? For safety??

    I regularly pull 3 different trailers. A small open stake bed, one similar to a Can-Am trailer and a TimeOut camper that weights 400+ lbs. The 2 light ones are no problem without brakes, just remember they are back there. The camper has brakes, and they make all the difference in the world...

    What are the required dimensions for a Spyder rear brake piston adjusting tool?

    Nope, the ones HF has do not fit. That's the problem with a lot of the sets. The one I got from BajaRon was well worth the money.

    What is this thing?? Found on the trailer floor after trailering new S2S home...

    And if you ever decide to put a trailer hitch on they no longer fit anyway.

    A New Look - How about an Oil/Fuel thread? Fuels can reduce wear...

    Yep, had to keep us on schedule. Haven't had one in a few weeks. 🤣

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    Sometimes they even wanted to meet said person. And yes, they have written a ticket and then issued the license after the test. The really funny part is some of the troopers would deem it OK if you rode up with another motorcycle and the rider was licensed, you were receiving "supervised...

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

    Do that 4 times with at least 2 days between test and I bet at least 1 time it shows no oil on the dipstick.

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    If you take the riding test at one of the test centers in Mississippi the State Trooper will ask how you got the bike there.

    Installing Garmin Zumo R1 Radar - any suggestions on where to run the wire?

    That right there would make it worth it. Looking forward to a full ride report after hundreds of miles. (y)

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    Mississippi requires a separate endorsement. The MSF or the CanAm class will cover the riding test, but you have to take a written test administered by the Highway Patrol test centers.

    What is your experience with the INNOVV N1 Dashcam?

    Have not used the N1 but I have used the K3 and presently use the K5 on the Spyder. Have a K6 on a ADV160. They have been good units and take the weather well. I also use the H5. Are you looking at the base or the Pro? They look interesting.

    Only One Oil Plug on 2024 RT?

    They need to do a correct oil change on their dime, using a true mechanic this time.

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    The scream will stop after 20 seconds. It's there as a temporary "in-case" reminder.

    Is the Reverse light bulb also a 2621A bulb?

    Yep. Almost as bright as the stock headlights only in reverse. :)

    Has anyone worked out how to improve a 2024 RTL Sea to Sky FM Radio Antenna?

    If it's anything like the older models cleaning the excess locktite off the connections so they actually electrically connect makes a world of difference.

    Any opinions on Monster Stage 2 vs Power Vision 3?

    I have the PV3 and just use the tune it came with. What I like the most is the increased torque, especially pulling a trailer.
