• 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.

    which way to mount aftermarket shocks?

    After having issues with my Elka shocks(leaking oil and noisey clunking internal valving), I am searching for opinions about which is the best orientation to mount aftermarket shocks. I mounted my Elkas with the spring on the top. Now I am thinking it is better to mount them with the spring on...

    Are ‘21 RT front shocks the same Length as '14-'19 models?

    thats great! I went to the IKON website to see if I could get a set for my 2021. Is $599.99 the price for the pair? That seems like a great price!! I will be ordering a set to try.

    Should I be worried? Air bag pressure going down between rides?

    This is correct. BUDS does NOT monitor air pressure in the airbag. It only uses a reference number from the height sensor to decide whether or not to add or release air from the airbag. Also, if you park your spyder, set parking brake, get off your spyder and then turn it off, the computer...

    Your thoughts on using the hitch as a tie down??

    I would definitely use the hitch. It is very sturdy and makes a great tie-down point.

    Should I be worried? Air bag pressure going down between rides?

    That is normal. The pressure will increase and decrease as needed with the onboard compressor. The compressor does not fill untill you put the spyder in gear. It can be hard to hear. It will turn off automatically when the proper ride height is reached. If the compressor fails, you will...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The DESS can be turned off permanently by someone with the proper diagnostic hardware. Most dealers will not do it for you. If you get it running and get it home. Ask on here to find someone near you that can disable it. I can do it, but live in NY state. A bit too far away. I would not...

    Are ‘21 RT front shocks the same Length as '14-'19 models?

    The Elka shocks I have on my 2021 RT are the ones from my 2014 RTS and fit with no issues at all. They have been installed for a while now, so I dont remember if I compared the lengths. I can t imagine me installing them without checking the length first though. I am pretty picky about that...

    Too old? Trying to be realiistic.

    I say go for it! If you can afford new, thats what I would do. It will be covered under full warranty which I believe is a must for a new spyder rider. They are complicated machines and expensive to fix when something goes wrong. The 2020 and newer RT's are much more refined also. Can Am...

    Filing a dispute with the bank question

    You should never use a debit card for online purchases. It does not have the same protections as a credit card company does. Credit card purchases are insured by the issuing bank and reimbursments to you are usually resolved within hours or days. When you pay with a debit card, you pay with...

    Shifting problem - SE6 won't select N without using R button! Ideas?

    There is no light on the R button. Press and hold the R button, then press the downshift paddle. If that doesnt work, are you able to downshift manually when riding? If not, then your paddle shifter is most likely bad and requres repacement of the left hand comtrols.

    Know of any 'slip-on' Seat Covers for RT's?

    Lamonster sells sheepskin seat covers. They are very nice and fit very well. They keep you cool in the summer and warm in the cool days.

    Instrument cluster dislodged on ‘21RT - any resolution??

    Remove your mirrors and mirror mounts. You can reach in with a long object and push on it near the top. The clips are on the top of the display. Make sure you put the bottom of the display in first.

    HowTo: RT-S Black OEM Rim to "Special Series" Rim Conversion

    Nice job! I just did something similar. I bought 2 of the 2020 wheels off EBAY, but one was all black. I did some sanding and polishing and clearcoat and now have a matching set.
