• 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.

    Spyder RT - Plans to use the Frame from the F3 ?

    Don't see another major change for the RT for maybe 4 years of so. The '14 RT is great as it is for a touring version of the Spyder. Maybe some slight styling changes in a year or to but I don't think they will mess with success. It's got the motor, heat management, storage and comfort all of us...

    Steering play

    mine too I noticed the little play in mine when shut off in the garage. I need to pay attention to it though when it is running to see if it is still there. I was at my dealer and checked some on the show room floor and they also had the play in the bars. Not much but a half inch of movement or...

    14 & 15 RT's and the battery tender (battery maintainer)

    That is the simplest thing to do. I done this so I could charge my cell phone at any time with the spyder shut off. I then use a tender with a lighter plug stuck in there. super easy to move the fuse and have the 12v plug hot all the time.

    What's your opinion on the nwe Spyder design and riding position?

    I have just recently traded up from my 2010 RTS SM to the '14 RTS SE,,,Being 5'7" I don't need a lot of room to stretch out. with the floor boards on the SE I have found that I have good room to move my feet to the front of the boards for a comfortable position when needed. I will not need...

    What's your opinion on the nwe Spyder design and riding position?

    10 years ago I would have jump all over the F3. I am on my 2nd RT ( a '14 RTS) and the 1330 is a great step up for the Spyder. I loved my '10 model and the 998 engine was strong but that engine was more suited for the RS. With the new gearing (larger sprocket on the back) I am sure the F3 will...

    Installing new adjustable Fox shocks how should I adjust them?

    The shocks on the '14's are an improved shock from previous years. It is a "Sachs" shock with a larger diameter piston body. To me the biggest thing is that is has no pre-load adjustment. ( I am presently testing, for BAJARON, after market pre load adjusters he is designing for the stock '14...

    I am a new RT owner! (finally)

    Read all you can about the Spyder and check out the riding tips here on the forum. New Spyder or used, 1330 or V-twin 998, SE or SM trans, it takes time to learn the driving techniques of the Spyder. Don't be over confident and relax on the bars. You will be very pleased with the 1330 for sure...

    I need "Major" help and advice with dead battery.

    I have to assume that you put the jumper cables on the post under the seat. If the bike still didn't start I am thinking that a new battery connected at the same point would not do anything either. The cables have a tendency to vibrate loose at the battery post on the battery. I always...

    What other Upgrades on the 2015 RT Limited

    :thumbup: that's right. Most of the time I would forget to hit the button before turning off the switch and would have to push and turn the key anyway on my 2010 RTS. I really don't miss it at all on the '14 as you can open it with the Spyder running anyway. Some folks want it and that is fine...

    Bajaron shock adjuster update

    Another Shock adjuster ride today. Ok. It was a little cool but I figure anything above the mid 50's is ok if I dress for it. I Took the spyder for about a 50 mile spin down the beautiful valley along the Nolichucky river basin with the river on one side and the mountians on the other. The...

    Bajaron shock adjuster update

    Good Idea. Hadn't thought about that. Gonna try it. I think I have some in the garage. I used it on my 2010 on the handlebars, windshield brackets and on the foot peg metal peices on both sides. It worked good and looked good.

    Install advise for the Custom Dymanics HMT third brake light '14 RTS, long version

    I tell ya Bob, the 5 pin connector cable on mine was so short that if I tried real hard I could just get two fingers to touch it. I knew that if I got it unplugged it would have been a real bear to plug in the jumper plug (if at all). The coat hanger was a good idea, that way it couldn't get...

    Install advise for the Custom Dymanics HMT third brake light '14 RTS, long version

    Well, I jumped into this last night to install the HMT brake light. This information applies to the '14 RTS, I can't say if it applies to any earlier models as this is the first one I have installed. If your '14 is like mine, the wiring harness on the right side behind the brake light will be...

    Bajaron shock adjuster update

    Well, I am going for the brushed look as the '14 RTS has no chrome on it. I do like chrome though. I just installed the 3rd brake light and it is chrome on top. gotta figure out a way to dull it down a little. :sour: Anyway, Shiny: 1 Brushed: 1

    Bajaron shock adjuster update

    I don't want to speak for Ron, and this is just my opinion, but I am sure function is #1 and appearance will follow. Ease of adjustment is a priority and this has to do with the thread count of the adjuster. Also the physical size may be machined just a small amount. I am sure the overall look...

    Bajaron shock adjuster update

    Update Got a few more miles in on the pre load adjusters this past week. The weather has slowed down the field testing somewhat. I am happy with the feel of the bike at 5 turns on the adjusters. This is perfect for my riding style and weight loads on the spyder. Of course the ride feel and...
