• 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.

    Clearcoating matt helmet - anyone tried this? Did it turn out nice or a disaster?

    I have painted several helmets with great results. As for weakening, the helmet already has a layer of paint on it and will protect the shell underneath from additional layers of paint. The prep solvent i use is water based(TSP cleaner), but regular paint prep solvents dry extremely fast and...

At least 4 coats if you...

    What Differences between 2021 and 2022 Sea to Sky?

    The 2022 does have all the mechanical upgrades to fix bugs in the 2021 spyders. The 2021 S2S does not come with the adjustable riser, adjustable deflectors, or lighted floorboards as shown in that BRP promotional video. It was a very misleading video showcasing new accessories available. The...

    Recommendation: Tried a new spray wax

    I used the turtlewax ceramic spray on the textured plastic on the sea2sky and it looks clean and new, not glossy. And no white residue like sprays with carnuaba wax leave.

    Recommendation: Tried a new spray wax

    I have tried many many spray waxes and cleaners on my spyders and some are pretty good. But I am always looking for the one that stands out. I have watched many tests and comparisons on youtube. I recently watched some testing of 3 ceramic spray coatings and detailers and there was a clear...

    Running rough at low rpm. Plugs? Water?

    If it had a misfire or coil failure, it would throw a code for misfire. My guess is a fuel issue and possibly a sticking injector, which will rarely throw a code. Try non-ethonal fuel, half a bottle of injector cleaner, and a couple ounces of marvel mystery oil in the gas. Run a full tank...

    Go on amazon and buy a Pyle heads up display speedometer. About $35 and operates by gps. Projects your speed onto windshield. I have one on both of my spyders and it works great!

    Want to set up mechanical handbrake on 2020 RT LTD for an amputee Vet

    It looks like it leans back quite aways. You could put a bend in it to get it closer to the bars. Might make it better for panic stops. That is a great simple solution though. Congrats! Ride safe!

    Question on engine oil “overfilled”

    Mine was overfilled by the dealer. I sucked a little oil out of the filler neck. Seemed least messy to me. I used a fuel syphon from harbor freight.

    Anybody know what the consistent hum coming from engine is?

    my 2014 RTs had a noisey fuel pump. I considered replacing the fuel pump, but tried some marvel mystery oil first. It only took one treatment and the noise has not returned. It has been many thousands of miles. Read the instructions for how much to add to a tank of gas. website says 4...
