• 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.

    Weather

    Wishful thinking but odds are........ We brought our cage this year because my brother who is a meteorologist had said that there would only be 1 or 2 days out of the days we were going to be here that would be good ryding weather. Thursday/Friday. With all the rains this region had last week...

    We're heeere at Spyderfest 2017

    We will be on our way- tomorrow--Tuesday Going to head that way ourselves tomorrow. Think we will leave our Spyder home though and just drive the 3 hours down in the car. Forecast doesn't look great with only 1 to 2 days of good weather. We are not big on riding in the rain or even pulling...

    Tire Sealants

    I am curious to peoples thoughts about RIDE ON vs Amerseal that Lamont is selling. I had bought RIDE ON but haven't installed it yet. Thinking o f Amerseal because of the viciousness (Viscostity) of it, not as thick as RIDE ON to install through the valve stem. Guess I could use the RIDE...

    Got rid of the Crapenda (Kenda) front tires

    Congrats on the new rubbers! Glad that you got some great results for the headaches you have endured. Just not sure why Kenda has so many issues. I thought at one point in time they had changed rubber compounds and a lot of the issues with wear etc., had been rectified but just like so...

    Alumna Pull behind mortorcycle trailer for the Spyder

    Good afternooon! Was curious if anyone has bought or used the Alumna Motorcycle Trailer either the MCT model or the MCTXL model. They are more expensive then the one's from one of our sponsors here on Spyderlovers. The plug is a round 5-pin plug. These are similar to the NOMAD and...

    Updates for 2018...

    My 2 cents worth! For the cost of like an RT-Limited BRP needs to make some more things "Standard Equipment" such as - the 3rd brake light. There is NO reason why that isn't added for safety if nothing else as standard equipment. Trailer Hitch Standard on higher end RT's would be nice...

    No Mechanics 4 Spyders

    Bad and sad--- I will say stuff like this story will do more harm then good. I just wanted to say that there are dealers closer to where I live but I don't use them. One is similar to to this story, they sell them but not too keen on servicing. When you find a blessing keep using them even...

    My Spyder sits in my barn----- My 2015 RT-Limited sits in our barn, covered with a 1/2 travel cover, hooked up to a battery tender and we place TOMCAT Bait stations throughout the barn and keep them filled. (knock on wood) never had an issue with mice, we have seen them but they end up dead...

    DESS Error Code STRIKES

    Thank you Bob Thanks Bob, I'll call them tomorrow down in Springfield. Len and the gang should know what has to happen to fix this. BRP definitely has an issue with this feature for some reason. Kind of makes me wonder too if my Position Sensor is going to be next, but when I was down at...

    DESS Error Code STRIKES

    Hello SpyderLovers: I am adding my frustration to the pool of 2015 RTL Spyders experiencing a DESS Key Code ERROR! That's right. I got to my barn today and go to start the bike up to move it so we can get rid of some old hay and it won't start at all. Look down at the instrument cluster...

    Harbor Freight Cycle Lift

    Here's my two cents worth ----- I sadly bought one of them thar du hickey's from Harbor Freight thinking I'd be doing stuff to my Spyder. I have ONLY used it ONE time- I say- ONE TIME! and that was to put RIDE ON in my tires. Catch a good sale at Harbor Freight and if it does sit around...

    Excessive Loctite

    How do you remove the radio antena?

    Laughs but------you'd think..... I am chuckling over this but----you know.......here we are Ryding a $30k RT-they could have installed a motorized retractable antenna for that matter. Heck, I had a 1989 Honda Accord once with an electric retractable antenna. You had to hold a button down to...
