• 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.

    Hate to be a party pooper but...

    Actually, one of my previous rides was a twin to your Venture followed by a BMW 1200rt and a Kasasaki Councours C14 just so you will know that I have known and loved some well performing two wheelers. I too hated the Spyder when I first got it. I could repeat BajaRons comments and in fact at...

    Question for current or past sportbike riders.

    I sold my 2014 Concours C14 this spring and bought a 2019 RTL SE6. It was difficult for me to give up the Concours as I really enjoyed that bike and all it's power and nimble handling, but I was just tired of dealing with it's top heavy characteristics. I thought about buying a new GoldWing but...

    Newbie Question about handling

    I went from two wheels for 50 years to the Spyder and thought at first that I had made a big mistake selling my Concours C14. After about 1000 miles I was getting more comfortable but it seemed twitchy no matter how loose I held the bars. Replaced OEM Kenda's with Kanines and had it lazer...

    Lowering brake pedal on rt

    I have seen several references to the LaMonster shortened brake rod for the F-3 and he shows it on his web site but no similar posting for a shortened brake rod for the 2019 and prior years RT. I have a 2019 RTL - SE6 and would like to lower the brake pedal on it. Unless I lift my foot to apply...

    Do you wear boots when riding?

    Kenda kanines?

    I had LaMonster install Kanines all the way around on May 14 of this year. Since then have apx. 2000 miles on them. I am very pleased with all three tires. Spyder handles great and no issues of any nature. None of the three tires required significant weights to balance. Traction is great on dry...

    Some Red Dust

    What is the "jack up on the bottom of the shock" technique that you mention? Is there a youtube video on removal and replace of front sprocket? I'm interested because I may need to replace my sprocket myself and am curious about the procedure. Also I notice the reference to the 28 tooth...

    Smart Phone as GPS for Spyder?

    I have used my IPhone for gps on my 2019 RTL and other bike for the past year because I got tired of the difficult to read display on my Garmin and because it was not as accurate as the gps on the phone. I never have difficulty seeing the display. I just set the display to it's brightest setting...

    Spyder service in kansas

    Does anyone have experience with getting your Spyder serviced at Marine World in Wichita, Ks.? I live within 40 miles of Marine World in Wichita, and they are a Spyder dealer and reportedly have the lazer alignment equipment. LaMonster aligned my 2019 RTL and that is taken care of for the...

    Monster fuel stage 1 or stage 2

    I own a 2019 Spyder RT Limited SE 6 and am seriously considering sending the ECU to Wick-it Performance to have a Monster Fuel flash completed. I am on the fence as to whether to install the Stage one or he Stage two flash. I would describe my riding style as moderately aggressive to aggressive...

    first real ride

    I agree with all the comments above. The comments by the OP echo my exact impressions when I went from two to three wheels this early spring. In fact I was seriously considering selling the Spyder and going back to two wheels. In early May I had LaMonster install the heavy duty sway bar and do a...

    Is Miles to empty shown on 2020 RTL?

    I have found that the miles to empty reading on my 2019 RT LE6 is amazingly accurate. Certainly it will vary with your riding style at any particular time but it should because it reflects miles to empty in real time and that is what you need to know. I had miles to empty on my last two wheeler...

    Using maps on cell phone

    I use gps on my Iphone exclusively after I became frustrated with Garmin on my bike. If you are using an Iphone you can prevent the display going dark on you after some time, go to settings, then display and brightness and then to auto lock, then select never and it won't go to sleep on you. As...

    How do you dress for a ride?

    During years of riding two wheels, I developed the ATGATT habit and see no reason to change just because I am now riding a Spyder. Two piece jacket that can be either a full rain proof jacket or a mesh jacket but with armor in both cases, boots, either jeans and chaps or textile pants...

    Feedback on Lamonster Garage replacement windscreens - 2019 RT?

    I was hoping to find someone or multiple people that have tried the Lamonster windshield and could provide information as to their experience with it. In particular I am concerned about with my height of 6'2" whether the 20" shield would be high enough to keep the wind off of me. Surely there...

    Feedback on Lamonster Garage replacement windscreens - 2019 RT?

    I am curious about the windshield that Lamonster sells as a dark screen for the RT. I have a new to me 2019 RT Limited. It has the stock shield on it which measures 25" at the center. I am 6" 2" tall and can comfortably look over the stock shield at it's lowest setting. My bike is the black out...

    RT bump skid choices

    I would like to install a bumper but the lighted models do not interest me. I note that there are bumpers only available but most are priced at over $150.00, which seems unreasonable to me. Does anyone know of a reasonable front bumper? Bartender

    Helmet Communications Systems - what are you using?

    I have a Neotec II also and with the best J&M speakers installed. I agree with the poster above that the speakers should not be touching your ears in that helmet. It is the most comfortable helmet I have ever had and especially in the space available for my ears. I also had a Neotec I and always...
