• 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.

    What wheel balancer do you use for front wheels?

    I have the Marc Parnes set for my 2015 RT. He did make a set of adapters for me for the front wheels. I have had those for at least three or four years. Contact the company directly and ask for the adapters for the front wheels on the Spyder. I also had to purchase a longer shaft from Marc...

    no brakes,any thoughts

    Have you tried pumping the brake pedal? The brakes needed to be pumped so that the rear brake caliper piston extends out to seat against the new brake pads. I am not talking about bleeding the brakes. Just pumping the pedal a few times to see if it gets hard.

    ACS one-way valve

    After seeing several posts about the one-way valve connected to the compressor that fails, I decided to replace mine today. With 36K, I thought I was probably due. My valve was not noticeably leaking, but it sure was corroded. I am glad I ordered the valve and replaced it. I was going to run...

    Dead on the Interstate.. - latest update

    Shawn Smoak has had a couple of these where the output shaft snaps in two. I don't know if this is the case with your bike, but he is seeing these output shafts break. He recently just finished a F3. This video is a little older but shows the problem really well...

    1330cc 2015 RT Limited shifting problems

    My 2015 RT was shifting funny and eventually started upshifting when I pushed the turn signal switch to cancel the turn signals. Dealer replaced the entire left hand switch assembly. A number of people have reported issues with the switch assemblies. No more problems once the switch assembly...

    Harley-Davidson CEO Resigns

    I don't think Harley anticipated how many sales they would lose to Indian. The joke in my area is, if you want to shop for a used Harley, head over to the Indian dealer. My brother-in-law, a total Harley fanatic, who spent gobs of money on Harley, traded for an Indian last year. He said he...

    2020 RT series are cool, but who's keeping their old Spyder

    The only thing that is going to make me even think about trading my 2015 RT LTD is shaft drive. Unless BRP comes out with shaft drive, I am going to keep this a very long time.

    Shawn Smoak advises on parking brake lockup and cable adjustment

    Just watched Shawn Smoak's video that he posted TODAY where he explains how to adjust the parking brake cable after a failure to release situation. He describes what I have been preaching to avoid this situation--adjust the cable only to take the slack out of it. I have always believed the...

    New Spyder Lineup 2020

    Looking at the pics of the rear of the 2020 RT, it looks like that rear fender wraps pretty tight to the tire. I am wondering how much room there will be for variations in other size/brand tires for the rear other than the factory Kenda. I also see that the Garmin 590 is now an add-on for the...

    These things make dreams come true...

    I am going to guess you felt physically better from the adrenaline rush! It doesn't matter, your story made me think about the movie, "Why We Ride." I highly recommend you watch the movie. One of the stories highlighted is about a disabled vet who rode a motorcycle around the world. Congrats...

    Parking Brake again

    Interesting you should mention adjustment issues. This is my experience...my parking brake motor was replaced due to releasing slightly after applying the brake and the bike would roll slowly down the driveway I guess a common problem in 14's and 15's. After replacement, I ran into a couple of...

    Tinkering with my belt

    I have the Gates Tension Meter. I bought a brand new one really cheap by surfing the internet and found it on a close out. I also use it for my Indian. The thing works very well and is fast. Especially with my Indian since I don't have to measure belt deflection. Great investment if you can...

    Park brake

    I have had the parking brake motor and parking brake switch both replaced under warranty, separate events. The parking brake lock up is a common problem that plagues the RT's.

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    I am not sure about the aftermarket warranties, but with the BEST warranty, it is still a crap shoot whether they cover the repair or not. My dealer told me that it really depends on who picks up the phone at BRP as to whether the warranty claim will be approved or not. In my case, my hazing...

    Struggling...picked out an Indian Scout and now considering Ryker Rally

    7 degrees here today when I walked into Mies Outland in Watkins, MN and bought the 2018 Scout Icon, blue and white with ABS. Considered the Ryker, but the Scout was a great deal with an extra $500 for military and first responders on accessories...even us retired LEO's. Also, 15% off those...

    Struggling...picked out an Indian Scout and now considering Ryker Rally

    I wanted a second bike to rip around on when not riding the RT. My Aero is underpowered and I need to find a replacement for it. Just about ready to put money down on an Indian Scout Icon, blue and white, and then decided to sit down on a 900 Ryker. Now I am not sure what to do. I really...

    Mies Outland Watkins, MN Getting ready for Spyders

    I was out at Mies Outland in Watkins, MN today looking at Indian Scouts. The salesman said they were ending their John Deere line and walked me to the new, huge showroom area (under construction) for their new Can Am line which will include Spyders and Rykers. He said their techs will be...

    GPS not charging

    I have had trouble my Garmin 590 since I bought my new 2015 RT. Garmin even sent me a new battery shortly after I discovered my battery would not charge properly. The new battery made no difference...until this past summer when I discovered this link. I followed the instructions and it appears...
