• 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.

    Your MPG please

    I don't understand how people are getting such good mileage. I have a 2013 RT with 1500 miles on it and I'm tracking my mileage with a fuel app on my phone at every fill up. I get 20-22 miles per gallon, if I'm lucky. I'm almost 6 ft tall and weigh 210 lbs, and I usually ride alone on flat...

    2013 RT gas dripping poll

    I sometimes have a VERY strong smell of gasoline fumes coming from the Spyder, with no rhyme or reason as to why. Before or after rides, tank full or empty, bike hot or cold... there's no telling when I'll smell it. But there have been times when I've walked into my garage and had to open the...

    Parts flying off... WHAT?!?

    Thanks for the ideas folks. Although I find the fact that we're even having to discuss this regarding vehicles that cost $20-30k+ a bit ridiculous. :banghead:

    Parts flying off... WHAT?!?

    I am doing this tomorrow. Excellent info, thanks. How should I go about contacting BRP to see if the warranty covers it? I bought mine at a dealer 2 hours away, so that's out... Maybe email?

    Parts flying off... WHAT?!?

    Can't. Some deep gouges on it around the edges.

    Parts flying off... WHAT?!?

    I'll be securing mine now as well. I need some help with this. It looks like there are a couple of parts or more that I'll need to order to replace the whole panel, but I want to make sure I get the right ones. I looks like I'll need 428a, 403, and 387 based off of this diagram. Am I right or...

    Parts flying off... WHAT?!?

    Thanks. I'll try to find someplace online to buy it from, unless someone else has a parts book or link handy. Totally not surprised. :sour: Is there a better way to secure these on?

    Parts flying off... WHAT?!?

    So I get all the way home from work today, get off my Spyder, and then notice the side panel is gone. Just missing. Awesome. Fortunately I only live about 8 miles from work, so I re-trace my route and find it on the side of the road, all scratched to hell. Now, the Spyder only has 1,500 miles on...

    Coolant mixture: your opinions?

    Lou--pirate Powersports--the best

    Well, I got my Spyder back about a week ago from Lou. Waited a few days to make sure everything works just right, and it sure does. I can tell a MAJOR difference in the heat near my right foot. It was blistering hot even in cool weather before he wrapped the pipes, but now I barely notice it...

    Cutting the antenna?

    As the title says, I was wondering if it would be possible to cut down the OEM antenna to a more acceptable height. I don't listen to the radio at all, I only listen to Pandora through my phone or my MP3 player. I bought the Walmart shorty antenna using a stock number someone posted here before...

    2013 BajaRon Sway Bar Owners!

    Wait, I bought a bar from you about 3 months ago and it came with what looked like 2 white plastic collars... I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly since I didn't install it myself. Were those the collars you're speaking of now, or was that part of the regular assembly? I love the new...

    Audio issues?

    I have the volume on my device turned all the way up. I also tried more than one device and it made no difference with any device I'm using. The results of the same. I'm stumped!

    Audio issues?

    I think I need some help with my audio. I have a 2013 RT SE5 and when I turn the volume all the way up from the normal screen it shows the volume "bar" indicator is being all the way up, but then when I press the mode button and it goes to the auxiliary input screen (which is how I listen to my...

    Lou--pirate Powersports--the best

    I'm working with Lou now. I live 2 hours away from him but based on recommendations here I dropped off my brand new 13 RT SE5 with him on November the 8th and I haven't received it back from him yet. Here's what he's doing for me: -600 mile service -Alarm wired and installed (Gorilla 8007...

    Kickstand / Bikestand?

    So I really like my new Spyder. The only thing I can't figure out is where the kickstand is. I understand the parking brake and that's a great idea, but I just can't figure out how to get the bikestand to come down like on the BMW bikes. When I press the brake really hard the floorboard flops...

    Lower block off plate?

    Lots of good info, thanks again folks!

    Lower block off plate?

    Oh I see now. That's a bummer. I don't plan on cutting into my new Spyder anytime soon but I understand that since I'm restricting air flow by blocking the lower vent that air needs to escape somewhere else. I'm hoping the large upper vent will be big enough to accommodate the extra heat that...

    Lower block off plate?

    Thanks folks. Still interested in hearing more peoples experiences with the lower block off plate if possible. Not sure what you mean... Do you mean the plate itself was made for pre-2013 models and has been re-made to fit the 2013? The plate I bought was made specifically for the 2013 RT, or...
