• 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.

    Any 2018 Rumors yet?

    Hybrid :agree: While I think that the simple electronics upgrades that most of us add anyway would be a nice thing for BRP to listen to :chat:, they took 8 years to realize most people willing to pay $25,000+ for a trike want leg room (F3):clap:, or highway pegs or floorboards, that aftermarket...

    up rated charging system.....

    Shouldn't do.... I very much doubt it, unless you run consistantly above 8000rpm for long periods. To be doubly safe you could install a SH847, I have, and it has saved the life of my stator....so far. I am guessing most Spyder owners don't run at the higher rpm is RSV riders tend to run at...

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    I like Pearl - it's clearer where it comes from, and gives you a mental picture of the bike. I think I might go with Artie (RT)

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    I'm still waiting for the perfect name for my black RT Ltd, even though. I mostly call it "the bike". Candidates are: Artie Sleipnir the Sheem Assassin Chitter Chitter Fang Fang

    up rated charging system.....

    It'll fit... Hi Pistonblown, it'll fit all the Spyders, as they didn't change the crank. Feel free to post it anywhere you like, I am in the North Island. Hi Mike, no, Aprilia didn't design it this way, the manufacturer of the rotor used a different type of magnet in the rotor, and none of the...

    up rated charging system.....

    Of course they do...otherwise they wouldn't be able to convert the 3 phase AC voltage a stator produces to 14v DC, would they? What the issue is with RSV's is they produce too much electrical power, can't use it, and fry the stator and regulator....if the power is used, by, say, running a...

    up rated charging system.....

    A bit of an odd post maybe...I have seen in the past that the Spyder may not produce the power some desire to run stereo's and other things....I think I may have a solution...but, and it is a but, someone will need to test it. I have an Aprilia, it produces too much power from the stator....so I...

    Stubby Antenna

    I just installed one of those - got it from Lamonster since I was sending them an order anyway. The installation was a piece of cake ( except the instructions should tell you to dribble some rubbing alcohol on the threads before trying to remove the old antenna; it is very difficult if you...

    Question about Lidlox

    I was worried that they'd be be too long for the outdoor cover, but it just fits. I'd better leave the little nubs pressed in so they don't create a stress point though. Just finished replacing that dorky whip antenna with a shorter one. I've read here that people have trouble getting the old...

    Question about Lidlox

    Thanks! It doesn't look all that bad, just not quite like the pictures I could find. I figured I'd have it set right if I had the wrong parts and live with it if they were correct. Just didn't want to continue with the installation until I knew.

    Question about Lidlox

    Now I'm confused. I watched the Lidlox video before starting and they say to leave the stock end cap ON (in fact, to keep one hand on it to prevent moving the throttle spring) and stack the. Lidlox on top of it. They said it will cause damage if you try to install it without the stock cap...

    Question about Lidlox

    Does anyone know how the Lidlox LL-1012B is supposed to look on a 2015 Spyder RT Ltd? On mine it overlaps the bevel on the stock end cap, so it looks like there's a big gap between the Lidloz and the end cap. Shouldn't it have a smaller diameter and sit right where the bevel stops? Have I got...

    I take the New London-Orient Pt ferry actually, it's a long hike from Mystic to Bridgeport. I did stop in at GSS once to look at a former school bike they were selling. I have to get a sway bar put on soon and can't get to LI this time. Might give Mike's in New London a try. They claim to...

    Shout out to dealer

    I've been known to spend $60+ for the ferry ride from CT to Long Island just to have work done at Honda of Riverhead. Bought two Spyders from Harry there and couldn't be happier.
