• 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 had my 1st service done - they used 4T 0W40 synthetic oil - anyone else?

    The dealer did what they should have done and made it right, they're the ones who used the wrong oil. I wouldn't call that a courtesy. Like others have stated, this is why I do all my own work. I KNOW that correct parts have been used and I KNOW that the work was done right.

    Are there any Ear Buds with Remote control for basic functions?

    One of the issues with earbuds is that they may not be comfortable to wear with a helmet. If you can get past that, how about an earbud that's voice controlled? An Amazon Alexa enabled set, or if you're into Apple, there's Siri. I have a set of Sony noise canceling earbuds that work as...

    Dealer set 2022 RTL tire pressures waay high - what do you use?

    Well done and exactly right. You got everything except for the long bed. I bought this truck brand new and pulled a 4-ton 5th wheel all over the county. I've ran the same tire pressure the entire time, loaded or not loaded, and never had an issue with the tires wearing unevenly at all. Yes, I...

    Dealer set 2022 RTL tire pressures waay high - what do you use?

    Yes, of course I can find it. I already gave you this info above. My truck's tires are each rated at 3042 lbs @80psi. 245/75R16

    Don't trust my reading skills? ;) I've been doing it for a few years now. :2thumbs:

    Dealer set 2022 RTL tire pressures waay high - what do you use?

    Yes, here in the US most refer to their pick-up truck as just a truck. Yes, it's running passenger truck tires. " if you have 'Passenger construction' tires fitted to your vehicle that are NOT carrying anything near their Maximum Rated Load, then you DO NOT need and SHOULD NOT be running the...

    Dealer set 2022 RTL tire pressures waay high - what do you use?

    snip... I'm not following your logic here. My truck's tires are each rated at 3042 lbs @80psi, based on what you stated above, if I'm not carrying a load at or near 3k lbs (per tire), then I should reduce that 80psi?

    Any videos on Removing '24 RT frunk to hardwire the battery?

    I hardwired a tender pigtail onto my F3, it was very easy. Open the frunk, pop the 4 plastic 'rivets' off and pull the liner tub out. I ran the tender cable out the side and cable tied it to the frame, easy access. I know that the RT is different, but it can't be that much different, can it?

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    I haven't had to change the oil on my F3 yet but I'm ready. I built these a while back for my cars, from scrap lumber, and I'll use them when it's time to change the oil on the Spyder. I also have one now for the rear wheel.

    Looking for a male connector to fit this? Need to charge GPS!

    Even if you're able to make it work as stated, the issue that you're going to have is that once you shut the Spyder off, the GPS battery will power the GPS till you tell it to shut off or the battery dies. So, you still have to take action to shut the thing off.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    That's great MPG! Was that with the ECO mode engaged?

    How Long did BRP take to contact you after your Spyder purchase, if at all??

    I certainly hope that Dakotaz has his dates messed up! If not, he may want to run a trace on the tracking number and see what's going on.

    How Long did BRP take to contact you after your Spyder purchase, if at all??

    In the past when I have purchased a new vehicle, I have always been contacted by the manufacturer in either an email or by snail mail. They welcome me to the new family and thank me for buying their product plus suppling contact info in case I need it. Sometimes a bit of swag is included. Not...

    Random thought for the day

    One wonders if one would have to bring their own customer to eat or will they be provided when ordering?

    2016 Spyder RT-S has a misfire and dumping gas. No codes, uses gas very quickly.

    Does the oil smell of gas? With that much gas going 'somewhere', I'd be very afraid of my oil being severely diluted! Engine damaging diluted.

    Do you have Water Spots on the Engine finish?

    No need to blast the leaf blower at full tilt. Most, if not all, blowers are adjustable, so... Unless there's some sort of filter, any blower is capable of sucking up something and then spitting it out at high velocity. I've had very good luck using my yard blower/vac combo on all of my...

    Bright Headlights Daytime Yes or No

    In my experience on two wheels. One could have a high intensity flashing amber strobe light on your head/helmet along with a light up suit and still, some people will not see you. You can't see what you won't look for.

    What have you done for Heated Gear Wiring, inc Location - '20+ RT's?

    Are there not a couple of auxiliary circuits on your Spyder for this very reason?
