• 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.

    Belt replacement

    I wonder if that low price has to do with the fact that the 2014 (RT) uses a new different belt and someone is cutting down on stock of the old model.... I ordered one to have for a spare...

    Rt 80 The Devils Whip

    This area is just about our all-time favorite... Roan Mountain, Mt Mitchell, GrandFather Mtn, Boone, Blowing Rock, etc are at the top of our list. Fantastic scenery, endless twisties, plus all the "real" bikers are 70-80 miles away riding the Tail of the Dragon! :thumbup:

    air intakes

    Lots of folks did this on the earlier RS models to improve the air flow. (just look at Lamont's early RS... The Vertika's seem to be the only aftermarket solution (but very pricey!) for RT's so far but a little innovation with some boat vents could be interesting.. I have been...

    Interesting Observation on BRP Adjustable Air Deflectors

    Another effect of adjusting the Air Deflectors.... Since I replaced the oem Airbox with the Kewl Metal Intake kit, I have experimented with ways to reduce the high-temps under the tupperware, mainly as it affects engine Intake air temp. Playing with the BRP adjustable Air Deflectors is one...

    Recall fix was performed today---Melting Evap Canister!!! Please read!!

    I resisted doing the Canister removal for a long time but finally gave in and did it... It did not completely solve the fuel odors and I have heard the same thing from other Spyder owners that have removed it. As long as there is boiling fuel at shutdown, those fumes & odors have to go somewhere!

    BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT

    Changing from the stock RT pegs to some RT footboards also involves some change in foot movement required for braking.... With the stock pegs & pedal you simply slide or swivel your foot to press the brake pedal ... Any change that requires you to lift your foot as well, even slightly, may...

    So what would make you trade up to a 2014?

    My 2012 RT Ltd is proving to be one of the best Spyder years yet.... No way would I consider upgrading to the latest round of problems... Another deterrent is that Spyder trade-ins seem to have gone down the tubes, likely due to the larger no of Spyders in the market, or even to rumors of...

    In lieu of the Block Off Plate...for heat deflection

    Baker Built RT air flow mods... Has anyone done any followup on using this mod? Sounds kinda interesting with the recent discussions that closing off the Spyder airflow with blockoff plates may not be the best approach...

    Work & Play "RT" Toy Hauler... Here is the mini "Hauler" we use for longer trips.... It doesnt have much extra space but includes all the amenities we need for a few days of camping with the Spyder. It hauls our RT just fine, and it is a snap to pull with most trucks. Easy travelin & didnt...

    Need new front tires on 2010 RT - any recommendations?

    Ivor, I am interested in your experience with the Bridgestone Potenzas.... After using them this much do you feel they are as good as the Kendas in ryding the twisties? and in the rain? Thanks for any comments you can share about these since some folks seem to think the Kendas are better than...

    Why does'nt BRP fix the RT turn signal return ?

    Lane Change feature... Sounds like the 2013s work better than earlier models. What is really needed is a Lane Change feature that provides 4-6 flashes then automatically turns off. This would ensure you dont have to glance down at the dash every time you do a lane change on the highway...

    Need new front tires on 2010 RT - any recommendations?

    .... That may be true if you live in the land where a twisty is an On-Ramp... :roflblack: but, where I live the twisties start a mile from my house... and, yes, my 2012 Ltd is starting to show serious wear on the front tires with only 10,000. mi! I just ordered 2 of the few remaining...
