• 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.

    Thoughts on my new Spyder

    Good Choice SpyderAnne01..... When I heard the rumor that you got a Yellow 2013 I thought for a second that perhaps you were influenced by seeing mine. But then I realized that you must have made the decision independently. You will learn to love it. So far -- knock on wood -- mine has...

    So you put a backrest on bike and seat wont stay up for refueling.....

    I bought one for my 2013 RT-S but am having difficulties imagining how it snaps in. Any suggestions on installing? Or has BRP changed the way the rod attaches to the seat and the bike? ken tompkins

    EARLY ARRIVAL DINNER GET TOGETHER LAMBERTS FOR DINNER

    The NY/NJ contingent will try to be there but cannot be sure of the time of our arrival given a 700 mile day. We probably could have made a 6PM time but 4PM will really be a stretch. Better go on without us. If we get in around that time we will join you all. ken tompkins

    Iphone On An RT-S

    Still no solution I'm still having problems hearing my wife -- she can't hear me either -- on my Iphone. Someone suggested it might be charging; I unhooked the Iphone from the cable but the problem persists. Also, a fellow Spyder owner said that he had been told the wiring of the Iphone module...

    New Jersey let's do dinner

    Eleven NJ Spyder Owners met yesterday at a central NJ diner to chat, eat, share and ride. It was a great day -- warm with a blue sky -- with great fellowship. Here are two pics of the group. Burg650's fully loaded GS was, as always, a wonder to see. He has more lights on that bike than I have...

    New Jersey let's do dinner

    This Coming Sunday Any interest in a meet-up this Sunday (the 24th)? The weather is supposed to be fairly good. We could meet at the Red Lion Diner on Rt. 206 at, say, 10AM. It would be especially good to meet with those going to Spyderfest to chat about final arrangements but everyone is...

    Iphone On An RT-S

    My iphone on a 2013 RT-S has so much static on a call that my wife can't hear me. I haven't seen this problem mentioned on SL before. Because no one has posted on it, I suspect it has to do with my settings on the audio system of the RT. I have carefully read the doc that my dealer gave me on...

    No SITA this year

    SOTL You could locate it in/near Watkins Glen and call it Spyders On The Lakes! That would put you near the wineries, the lakes, Corning Glass Museum, Watkins Glen, the towns at the heads of the lakes and all of the great rides in the area. There is also easy access via the Interstates. Just...

    2013 RTS SE5 CURED OF WOBBLING

    New Ball Joints and New Seat I took my 2013 RT-S to my dealer (Atlantic City Cycle Center) this morning to get the ball joints replaced. My bike did not drift badly before taking it in though steering it seemed "spongy". Anyway, after replacing the ball joints the bike is now solid and without...
