• 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.

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar

    From what I'm hearing you might be right. Seems a waste to have such a high-tech bike yet its so common for the service end to be out of wack. But as you guys know - be it a BMW Honda or what-ever you got a 50-50 chance of finding a good tech.

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar

    Widowmaker your statement: 2) Check rear tire alignment, if its off to the left it will cause this , (loves going in left circles , dog-tracks trying to go right) Sounds exactly what mine is now doing. Let me ask you something else - on my old Spyder as I cruise down the highway there is...

    Got her home! Still Some Steering Issues!

    The info I have is they checked to see it had the latest software it was - pulled the battery for reset - we changed pressures and front shock adjustments and nothing made any difference at all. BRP told them to re-check the toe-in and they said it was out - they adjusted it and it was like...

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar My RTS handles completely different in a right hand turn then a left. Using some X-way ramps as a test site, I can go around a 360 degree ramp to the left and it tracks and steers fine - however try the same turn at the same speed on a right turn and the bike...

    Got her home! Still Some Steering Issues!

    Ok, she's home but I'm not real happy with the steering. After the dealer re-aligned the front end, the bike steers 80% better than it did. My problem now is the bike has notchy over-sensitive steering to the right - yet the making a left turn like on a ramp, it feels somewhat normal. I think...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Sounds like you're getting the hang of it - I've had my standardSpyder for almost a few years now and was thing about trading my Goldwing trike but it's beginning to look like a mistake. The Goldwind track like a car going down the road. Might have to re-think this . . Here's a few images of...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Hey widowmaker have you looked into a stiffer sway bar or does anyone even make one for the RT?

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Bottom line they should have left the front end alone - the older Spyder had a great ride which was twice as soft as my Goldwing so why did they have to screw up a good thing. What really kills me is after all the steering problems they had from the get-go it would seem they would have worked...

    Ok that's good news - all I have to do now is figure out what's wrong with mine. Thanks

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Sorry, not trying to mean but I've been riding Spyder's almost daily for a few years, I have it figured out what's right and what's wrong when it comes to the steering. Just a bit frustrated with this new bike thing. Seems as if after BRP having all their past steering problems would have been...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Thanks for the reply - the tech must have been talking about the older models having the different system. Well all the posts so far have made me better about the problem - if you guys are saying the RT has the same suspension and steering module as the RTS, then the problem must be unique to...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Just curious if you owned a Spyder before getting the tour model - what I'm trying to say is; unless you've owned the older bike which in my opinion tracked down the highway fine and had no drift or wobble - it's going to be hard for a new rider to understand what I'm saying. Bottom line, if...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Scotty, many thanks for the reply - I'm hoping that's the case, but I read a few other posts around the Internet and it seems the over sensitive steering is more so on the RTS model. So we can narrow the terminology down, my Spyder brochure shows the standard touring bike as the RT model and it...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Well, as I said I didn't look at it on a rack I'm going by what the tech at Virgil Neff Kawasaki told me. He also said the steering module was different. Maybe he was making reference to the standard Spyder's. Well, what does not make sense is; there was two other RT's there and they both drove...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Please - Don't insult me- I've been on a bike all my life and as I mentioned I've owned a Spyder sine they came out. I know how to ride a Spyder and exactly how they steer. It has nothing to do with the way you hold the bars - the bike is power steering system is DEFECTIVE and going to kill...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    From what I understand the RT uses pretty much the same front end as the older model Spyders however the RTS has a new designed front end with a wider track and a new DPS assembly. I didn't crawl under the machine but the tech said it had a different front end then the RT model because of the...
