• 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.

    Being seen as a safety factor - here's what I've done!

    Just a suggestion. Ride with you high beams on during the daytime. 2 more bright LED's facing the enemy! Obviously, dim the high beams at dusk when meeting on coming vehicles.

    Suspension failure and changing parts - why would it lose all its air?

    Dealers have frequently not connected the small link that goes between the swing arm and the level sensor that tells the air system to add or release air from the air bag. A friend bought a new 22 RTL from a dealer in Bonita Springs Florida about 3 weeks ago. I was aware of this common oversight...

    Anything different in 2021 Rear Wheel Removal?

    my experience.... Loosen the axle nut before jacking it up off the ground. Remove the lower bolt from the small dogbone link that connects the swing arm to the bike "level sensor" that controls the air bag. Follow You Tube videos for disconnecting the parking brake cable and loosening the rear...

    After larger Heated grips for 2022 RTS S2S - any ideas?

    I recently added the Leather like foam grips from Lamonster. Much better feel than his older style plain foam grips. Heat from the bars gets through the grips just fine.

    Looking for ideas to haul/trailer an RT and an HD?

    Maybe try parking the spyder and Harley close to each other and fool around with placement until you find the optimum "footprint" or size if trailer you need. I only tow a Spyder RTL in my 7 X 14 enclosed trailer which keeps the bike clean and serves as secure storage once you reach your...

    Stabil Blue & Marvel Mistery Oil: Don't laugh!

    My concern would be how the combustion products of this combination would affect the catalytic converter? I assume you're adding to the fuel?

    New LED Bulbs Are IN and Tested.

    Captainmal - good to see you here (I'm also on the Ram Ecodiesel forum). My suggestion is to run with high beams on in daytime. It makes you much more visible. One more LED suggestion - look at Auxito brand. I bought replacement bulbs for the rear turn signals (the only non LED bulb on my 21...

    Where do you put your phone????

    My phone is in the trunk, plugged into the USB power cord. Usually playing Sirius XM through LaMonster bluetooth device to the RTL speakers. If someone calls I'll see the notice when I stop for a break. I don't use the phone for GPS.

    Motorcycle Trailer Hitch - what are the straps secured to?

    Be aware that towing the bike with the rear wheel on the ground, but engine off transmission in neutral can severely damage your transmission. I would remove the drive chain as a precaution before using this sketchy tow rig.

    Is the 2019RTL pre-wired for heated seat option?

    The 19 RTL that I had came with heated seats and handle grips standard. I would be careful splicing into the wiring on these machines. They are CAN bus circuitry and are not tolerant of adding loads. Safer to wire your heated gear separately from the battery through a fused terminal block and...

    Got any ideas on where to Hide a key?

    I use a plastic "kide a key" box with magnets on the back. I stick it up under the tupperware by the front wheel. I "stick" it to a flat metal plate that is awkward to reach and not visible ( the key box is black). I have no idea what the plate is for, but it does not get hot.

    How do you get GPS directions to come over RTL Speakers?

    Campermac - I bought the BT device that LaMonster sells. It came with very clear directions and now I can play Sirius XM from my phone through the stereo speakers. The Zumo XT will mute the music and give spoken directions when appropriate. Don't ask me how it works, but it does.

    Anyone near western New York with BUDS to turn off DESS?

    Try Bibbens Can Am sales in Weedsport, NY. Only about 5 miles from Thruway exit. Great people and knowledgeable staff.

    Wrong milage on title - is this an issue??

    Plans have a way of changing over time. If you decide to sell this the new owner would question how the mileage on the Spyder could be so much lower than the mileage on the title. The state could suspect fraud on your part. I'd go to the DMV and get it corrected ASAP.

    How to reduce the loud knock when you put it in first gear?

    ulflyer - your method is similar to what I used to do in my old Harley days. Had my foot on the shifter and put it into 1st gear while the engine was still cranking on the starter.

    I am thinking of buying a 6x10’ Cargo trailer to haul my F3s Spyder south this winter

    +1 for Blizzard trailers. Very high quality, reasonable price for what you get and great people to deal with. They built my 7X14 in 3 weeks to my specs.

    Brand New 2022 RT Limited with Issues !!!

    Usually your best bet is to call the dealer and speak to the owner or general manager. Be firm, but polite and give them a chance to make it right. You can always shift to the Nuclear Option later. IMO, trying to call BRP will only frustrate you further. Call the NY State Attorney General and...

    I am thinking of buying a 6x10’ Cargo trailer to haul my F3s Spyder south this winter

    CAUTION I had a 6X12 enclosed cargo trailer when I bought my '19RTL. It would not fit through the door opening! It was 6' wide to the outside of the walls, subtract 1.5" for each wall, subtract another inch for the door frame and the Spyder would not go into the trailer. Measure twice, purchase...

    Garmin Zumo XT will not link to Spyder audio! Why have it?

    I also used the blue tooth adapter from LaMonster. You bluetooth the Garmin to the adapter and I also bluetoothed my phone to the adapter. Now I play Sirius XM from my phone (powered up from the plug in the trunk) AND the Garmin XT will override the music with directions, cautions, etc. The...
