• 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.

    Do you have to pay for shipping a NAPA Oil Test, or is it Pre-paid?

    You do have to pay shipping, USPS or what ever other shipping activity you choose to use. The price you paid Napa included the kit and the analysis. Just in case the shipping activity asks, the oil sample is not hazardous material.

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    Pulled the bride's car into the garage this a.m. returning from breakfast out with her, and I noticed the valve stem on the Spyder was exactly at 6:00 and a straight shot for the Harley valve extender, PN 42300009. While I have an electric compressor, I always use an old JoeBlow floor bicycle...

    CAUTION - RTL Brake calliper bolts are recommended One Time Use only!

    When I removed the bolts the first time I cleaned off the old thread locker, ran the bolts in and out of the threads several times, cleaned everything a second time and when reassembling everything used Blue Loctite on the bolts, torqued them correctly. Everything's fine.

    How do you determine your head Shape when buying a helmet?

    Go online to Revzilla and look at helmets. Look at various helmets you might like and their specs, including what kind of coconut(s) they are designed to fit, round or oval. Then go to a motorcycle shop and try them on. Take some kind of very thin coconut cap/cover to wear when trying them (so...

    Do I really need a Battery Holder, or is it OK not to have one?

    That saves you a few bucks. When you get the battery holder, if you use a mirror to examine the niche where the battery resides you'll see the slots into which you must put the battery holder, and it makes it a lot easier to anchor it in its home.

    Do I really need a Battery Holder, or is it OK not to have one?

    You say the battery holder is missing but you did not mention it the rubber strap Latch was still there. There are two parts needed to hold the battery in place from the BRP parts fiche: Ref No. 8b, Latch, PN 520000528, $6.79. Ref No. 8c, Battery Holder, PN 710002893, $15.99.

    Can anyone recommend a TPMS system other than FOBO?

    I checked with Garmin last year because my Zumo 590 has the capability but was told they discontinued it, assume because of low usage.

    About to replace the Fuel filter on my 2021 RT - what is the best type of hose clamp, and what sizes are needed?

    Should I get something showing I have bought the BRP Extended Warranty?

    BRP was quite slow sending confirmation cards to owners when I purchased my extended warranty but that was quite a few years ago.

    Has anyone bought &/or used Discount ESP Extended Warranty? NOT BEST!

    Two questions: (1) how many times have you had to use your B.E.S.T. extended warranty; and (2) how many miles a year are you putting on your Spyder? IMO, it's smarter to rat hole some $$ each month to cover any unanticipated expenses on your roadster than to get into third party extended...

    Did oil change & checked level properly; NO oil showing on dip stick - any ideas?

    Just measured mine, 2014 & 2018 RT have same PN, and mine is only 11 1/8" measured same way as Dasmoetorhead's. 2018 F3 and 2022 F3S dipsticks have same PN.

    Did oil change & checked level properly; NO oil showing on dip stick - any ideas?

    This thread is interesting because it harkens back to the introduction of the 1330 ACE engine in which there was confusion about how to properly check the oil and read the dipstick. What's so difficult about reading a dipstick? The terrible editors and proofreaders of the 2014 RT Operator's...

    Am I the only one having difficulties with Front Wheel removal on 2018 Spyder RT?

    No, but as I read your post about having the brakes on because you wanted to retain the orientation of the wheels I just offered what I've done as a suggestion.

    Am I the only one having difficulties with Front Wheel removal on 2018 Spyder RT?

    If you are concerned about retaining the orientation of the wheel(s) to the lugs, mark a lug with a magic marker and do the same with the apropriate lug hole in the rim.

    Am I the only one having difficulties with Front Wheel removal on 2018 Spyder RT?

    What are the size of the tires you are attempting to remove? Have you tried turning the wheel(s) so the lug nuts are at 10 and 2 with the third one at 6?

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    Because I let my original motorcycle endorsement lapse more than 50 years ago when I was moving about the country serving in the world's finest military force, I took the MSF basic course at the local community college to refresh myself and get the discount on insurance more than 10 years ago at...

    What is involved with a Rear tire vs Front tires that makes it almost double the Mounting Cost? Drive belt?

    I am willing to accept the cost of having the excellent Spyder tech at the dealership where I purchased it do the job because, amongst other things, whenever he does it he verifies the belt tension with a Gates electronic meter and its alignment. I've done several of the 28K mile services on it...

    Does anyone have Heated Comfort Seat Installation Instructions they can share?

    According to BRP, the black heated comfort seat at the link below should fit your 2014 RT, if the price tag doesn't choke you to death. If the price induces a gag reflex, call Motorcycle Dave, (209) 887-3283, and he may have some ideas, including modifying your seat...
