• 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.

    Engineering Idiocy

    It sure beats taking a friggin mirror off to change the oil.....moving the reservoir to the side is a piece of cake.....seems dumb, and it is, but it's much better than the previous cluster #$%^ on our 2016RT

    Handle bar bolts won't move!!!!! Any ideas??

    A little heat and a couple good direct whacks with a punch in the center of the bolt head. One of my bolts broke off just below the head of it when I was doing this project. Be careful if just using a long breaker bar, the bolts can break....been there

    Pros or Cons of wrapping my 2021 RT LTd

    Opinion only, but wraps will certainly personalize YOUR ride, but will decrease resale value. For example, I certainly respect our flag, but I would never palster it all over a bike, and I wouldn't buy a bike with a wrap I didn't like. Just my 2 pennies

    Is Hicklin Power Sports in Grimes (Iowa) a good dealer? Looking for new or used F3

    FWIW, We've got good friends in Panora. They've never really felt comfortable with Hicklin. They recently went there to talk about a new 2022 S2S and felt like they were getting the brush off. They too felt like Hicklin is more focused on side by sides. They went to Atlantic, IA to Olsen's...

    What's your helmet of choice?

    I really like my Shoie full face modular for cooler days, and I have a Bell Half helmet with sun shield for warmer days. The half helmet doesn't add much protection other than keeping bugs outta your eyes, but it's what I prefer.

    What's the best way of Lifting a 2021 RTL to work on the Sway bar?

    I've done a couple with jacks and stands and blocks, but so far the easiest was when I helped a buddy change his. We used a pair of loading ramps connected to his truck bed tailgate. Drove the front two wheels partially up the ramps til we had enough room. Set the brake, chock the wheels and...

    Post up your Local Area Weather News - January Edition, 2023

    Crappy in southern WI. We had just enough snow from 12/23 - 12/27 to open up the snowmobile trails. I got about 20 hrs of grooming in and then it decided to go up to 50*. Now the snow is gone, and drizzle and fog have been the norm for the last couple weeks with temps in the mid 30's. Not warm...

    Have you come up with Additional turn signals for '21 RT?

    Has anyone come up with their own add-on turn signals for the front of the 20+ RT? The fender tip ones just don't seem like enough. I know there are the kits that go on the back (front side) of the mirrors... just curious if anyone has figured anything else out yet.??

    Anyone using Rotella T-6 5w40 full synthetic - ‘22 RTL

    I've used it on 2010, 2016, and now our current 2021's. This past summer was the first full summer with the '21's and they performed flawlessly for a little over 5000 miles til the snow started flying. I changed oil early November and continuing with Rotella. I did not send any samples anywhere...

    Recommendation for cover that is reasonable in cost

    Try an UltraGard cover. We have their half covers, but no full covers. The half cover doesn't keep everything off, but it does what it needs to for indoor coverage. And yes indeed, the bedsheet works just fine too. Been there n done that.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Nothing today... I put 'em both to bed last week after the fall storage ritual I do. 50's today, 30's for the foreseeable future. Time to think snow and trail grooming instead.

    Winterizing questions - how to prepare Spyder for cold storage?

    Do you know someone that could do a few minutes of wrenching for you? maybe watch a youtube video to see how to take the battery out. Otherwise, do the above to treat the fuel, I also like to put a couple extra pounds of air in the tires, spray a shot of wd40 lube on the front steering...

    Want to install GPS on 2020 RTL, which one to order? What's the difference?

    Throw another vote for the XT on the pile. Bought one this spring to replace an outdated 396. Awesome unit with great bluetooth capabilities to sync with my phone and my helmet. I can listen to music from my phone and get routing prompts through my helmet at the same time.

    What a Great Spyders in the Ozarks rally!

    Other than meeting our now great friends from Iowa several years back, we had a pretty bad experience on a guided ride at one of the first SITO rallies. But I think we're all thinking about going to it next year if they put it on. I think I counted 111 bikes leaving for the Pie Run....NO...

    Is BRP GO useful?

    I disabled any connection to the onboard BRP apps, and removed the BRP apps from my phone too. They're useless. I have a garmin XT for navigation and route planning, and I have several music apps that I bluetooth to my helmet if I don't like what's on FM radio. In my opinion it was a huge waste...

    A bit old fashioned maybe? How many still can their own veggies??

    We still do tomatoes, but it's much cheaper to buy a bushel or two from the farm market and can them, than it is to grow them in a garden. I can buy two bushel of tomatoes and have them all done in a day, for $30. Heck ya can't even buy 10 tomato plants for that anymore....LOL

    Beware of ethanol in Loves Truck Stop gas!

    I've been using Stabil Marine for years, but only for the winter nap that all my gas engines take during their off season. I've never had a fuel related issue with anything when go-season begins. I use it in the winter toys as well for their summer naps. It is good stuff...I've never just...
