• 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.

    RT instrument cluster leaking

    Usually it is just the lens that needs replacing. The anti-fog coating starts running. You are lucky. BRP refused to allow the lens replacement under warranty because it was "cosmetic." As mentioned before, my dealer said that a lot of what BRP authorizes depends on who answers the phone at...

    Still waiting for a major change to the RT

    +1 on the driveshaft. I loved them on my Shadow, Vulcan, and Valkyries. The 1330 really needs to jump the horsepower a bit also. I have noticed two-up passing or passing with a trailer can become a dancing act with the trans. More than once I have said to myself when passing, "Come on, come...

    Spark Plug Change

    Finally called NGK I couldn't help myself today. I was ordering all the parts to do my 28K service and the spark plug question hit me again. I contacted the technical support line for NGK. I actually spoke with someone from this country! I explained what plug is in the 1330 Spyder and...

    So it's called the Ryker!

    The Ryker reminds me of the Sportster and Harley. The low price may get people into riding three wheels and soon after they will want the extras of the F3 or RT. Not a bad plan. I would like to see the driveshaft migrate to the F3's and RT's. Honda better get their rear in gear if they have...

    Spark Plug Change

    Thanks for the write up and pics. I can't understand why BRP wants the plugs changed at 28K. Iridium plugs and a fuel injected system should allow those plugs to go far longer than 28K. How did the plugs look when you pulled them?

    Spark Plug Change

    Looking toward my 28K service on my 2015 RT. I was wondering if anyone has changed spark plugs on a 1330 RT? Flat rate manual shows 1.5 hours for the spark plugs. I was thinking it was going to take quite a bit longer, but would like to get some idea of a realistic time. Gunner

    Shifter question

    I just had the left "multi function" switch replaced on my 2015 RT for crazy shifting issues. Once replaced, all was good. There is no fixing that switch module, just replacement. The part itself was almost $400.00. Gunner

    Extended Warranty

    Very true on the warranty. I have owned Honda's for about 44 years. When I bought my current Honda in 2010, the owner of the dealership asked if I was interested in the extended warranty. I just laughed. He laughed too and said, "I had to ask."

    Extended Warranty

    The BEST warranty may be the "best out there for our bikes. However, be aware that under the BEST warranty, BRP may deny the repair depending on what it is and, according to my dealer, who answers the phone at BRP to authorize the BEST repair on that particular day. In my case, my hazing...

    Car Tire Advice Please! What do I need to be aware of? Pressures, etc?

    Since this spring, I had been running my tires at lower pressures until recently. When I was running my Kuhmo on the rear at 19 psi, two-up, I found the rear tire noticeably warm. I pumped up the pressure to 25 psi and found the rear tire ran cooler. I also pumped up the Formoza's from 14 psi...

    Horns

    I have the Stebel air horn on my Honda. I was thinking about adding it to my Spyder RT but decided to install the twin electric horns from Rivco. I also used the Rivco wiring kit made specifically for the Spyder. It all worked great. I think the electric horns are just as loud as my Stebel...

    17,000 Miles and the front pulley is history!

    This spline issue reminds me of my Valkyrie. The rear wheel was driven by a splined hub. As long as that splined hub was lubricated with a high content moly paste (60%), there was no noticeable wear. If that splined hub was not lubricated when changing out the rear tire, those hub splines...

    J&S Jack

    I have the J&S jack with the adapter for my 2015 RT. It rocks! The customer service was outstanding. I had a little hiccup that was completely my fault. They took care of the problem without hesitation. Great people to deal with. Gunner

    Upshifts with turn signal switch

    Back from the dealer And the verdict is: replacement of left multi function switch. All strange shifting issues resolved! According to my dealer, when those switches go south, they usually do bizarre things with the turn signals. This is the first time they were able to upshift a Spyder...

    Would you go for extented warranty or parst/service discount......

    Warranty I am at the end of the first year of my BEST warranty. Bike is currently at my dealer receiving two headlight assemblies, left side controls (mode, shift, turn signals, etc) and cluster. Lets say that so far, as best as I can estimate, parts alone are north of 2k. Then add labor--my...

    Upshifts with turn signal switch

    Recently, I have noticed that my 2015 RT SE6 was upshifting occasionally when I wasn't expecting it. I thought I had maybe been bumping the shift lever. So, over the past couple of days I have been paying very close attention to make sure I am not bumping the shift lever with my thumb causing...
