• 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.

    Do other Short people have an issue reaching the 2025 RT Sea to Sky brake pedal?! What are others like me doing?

    I have an issue, a BIG Issue with the 2025 Spyder's. I am only 5'2" and have an inseam of 27". I sat on a 2025 Sea to Sky at a dealer yesterday and I couldn't even reach the brake pedal. Whose idea was that one? Good Grief! I have a 2015 RT Limited and have NO issues with the brake pedal. What...

    What was BRP Thinking on the 2022 models and placement of the brake pedal?

    I was scooted as far forward as possible and still couldn't even reach the pedal without really over extending my right leg. As I mentioned before, my 2011 and my 2015 RT's never were an issue with the brake pedals at all.

    What was BRP Thinking on the 2022 models and placement of the brake pedal?

    Thank you for your reply. 6'7" wow must be nice! My wife is 5'10"- go figure that one out! LOL! I looked at the risers from Lamonster and they seem to help. It was nice to hear from Lamont himself say that they really didn't make it for short riders. So I am glad he's got some work arounds!

    What was BRP Thinking on the 2022 models and placement of the brake pedal?

    Thanks, I am wondering if that riser is good enough to help me out. I was very surprised how far away that pedal was. Not like my 2015 at all.

    What was BRP Thinking on the 2022 models and placement of the brake pedal?

    I had my 2015 RT Limited in the shop today to get my replacement sprocket put on and a oil change. I sat on a 2022 RT-S in the showroom. My height is only 5'2" and my inseam is 24". Good grief....I can't be the only short operator out there, but my foot could NOT reach the brake pedal at all...

    Who Out There Has Gotten The Replacement Sprocket?

    I just got my replacement sprocket put on today. The dealer I took it too, had 1 in stock and I was able to get it and it's the permanent fix. So am thankful for that.

    Doing away with DESS using BUDS Megatech

    So now that you have this are you thinking of helping out other Spyder Owner's who would like to disable theirs too? If so how much would you charge to do it? Seems you could "recoup" some of the funds you put out for this by helping others deal with this. I have had my module replaced 1...

    Battery Replacement 2015-RT-Limited

    Hello: I am curious how difficult it is to replace the OEM Battery with another OEM Yuasa Battery? I have a battery tender and a Jump Starting port connected to the current battery. Due to CoronaVirus we cannot travel to Lamonster Garage or Pitbull to get a new battery and have it...

    Motorcycle accidents - Why we're not always seen

    I totally agree with some others. It’s in-attention to driving. Cell phones are the biggest pain in the rear end when it comes to our society. I often wonder if the inventors even thought of how this would affect culture in general? When you ride, whether it be on a Spyder or two-wheeler...

    2020 rt

    I do wish BRP would do a better job of marketing. Their website and video's are flashy but don't really show or get down to the nitty gritty of the bike. Think they ought to give a better tour of the design and changes etc., I understand that this is their way of marketing but people who buy...

    Bye Bye Spyderfest - after 10 years, they've pulled the plug!

    I agree—- I also hope that what ever comes along to replace SpyderFest that the powers to be, realize that a lot of us DO NOT believe nor do we use SOCIAL MEDIA, and I hope they realize the importance of Spyderlovers and use it as well to convey information. We need it. I was going to add...

    The currant and LAST Spyderfest

    We have attended this event for 6 out of the 10 years. We did not attend this year for a several reasons. 1.) Health reasons- been dealing with Sciatica pretty badly. 2.) We are public educators and was not conducive this year to take time off work to attend. 3.) Nothing new and exciting...

    New (2012) Spyder owner

    We used to own a 2012 RTS-SE 5 For us, we too experienced what you did on our 2012 RTS-SE5 that we used to own. I will tell you that a Swaybar upgrade, ELKA SHOCKS and an Alignment and proper air pressure in tires makes a HUGE improvement in that bike. At least it sure did for us. We now...

    Find us (SpyderLovers) on Facebook

    Thank you Lamont- I don't do Facebook either! I teach technology to today's youth and even being involved with that aspect I do not do Facebook or Twitter or any social media. There are just too many issues when dealing with it sadly. Just keeping track of all the issues in FB within the past...

    Question on ISCI Handbrake

    I did and LOVE it! I have the handbrake and I have changed out the short-reach lever and I love it! It's black instead of chrome or silver and I love the reach. I have small hands and I am very glad to have swapped out the handle. ;)
