• 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.

    Will Using 87 Octane impact performance?

    From what I notice, a lot depends on your riding style. You will not hear the knocking in a newer engine as stated in this chat. Your Spyder will adjust the timing etc. to compensate. The 1330 is high compression and if your riding style lands you in the 29-34+ MPG camp I would say you are not...

    does a turbo sound appealing to you?

    Not sure I would want one on a Ryker personally. Not that is would not be fun I just imagine a lot of tire replacements! As far as horse power I can see that increase. That is about the HP increase I saw adding a turbo to the Rotax 912 aviation motor for an Ultralight I used to have. That was a...

    2020 RTL - Anyone think they will ever update the bluetooth to work with other device

    Just curious, what is happening when you try to connect it to the Spyder with Bluetooth? I had an AK70 back in 2018 and it connected to my infotainment systems just fine with SBC. Also I love your optimism that the you think the stock Spyder system will allow you to notice a big difference...

    Getting ready to bite the bullet!

    Well just keep in mind if your wife is anything like mine whatever you paid double it. Once she rode mine for the first time she went and got her license. We are looking for a second.

    Ethanol - interesting new study

    Weird, its almost like the tax breaks, import tariffs, and infrastructure subsidies including the latest $800 million one that provides relief to biofuel producers hit by the pandemic is keeping ethanol around! ;) I have a couple of stations around the house that are REC 90. I use that when I...

    Do you leave the Parking brake on during storage?

    I do not store mine for long periods of time. I think last year the longest it sat was 4 weeks. If its above 30, not snowing or raining, and no salt on the road then I still ride. Love being in NE Ohio and still riding in January. Took it to lunch an hour ago even with the winds. I do still plug...

    Baja Ron Performance Suspension Sticker

    I have to say I do like getting the stickers with my parts. I display them proudly on my toolbox like many others. Although its hard to get the Lamonster stickers because when my kids see those orders arrive they have to rip them open to get the fizzy candy and they take the stickers as well.

    Gas tank fill ups

    I have become good at finding that sweet spot on the pump lever where gas is coming out the air vents into the bowl but subsiding fast enough back into the tank not to flow over the edge. Takes me like 5 minutes to fill the tank that way but at least I get it filled to the top. Also found it...

    AIR BAG REPLACEMENT ON 2021 RT SEA to SKY

    All the plastics come off fairly easy. I would not worry about that at all. Hopefully it comes back better then factory because factory does not seem to be working out so good with the issues you have this early on with it!

    Pedal Commander installed - OMG I love this thing!

    I love mine as well. Was running sport 4 but it threw me around so much hitting it coming out of a corner. I backed it down to sport 1. In a group ride I sometimes do city mode.

    What's available in Additional turn signals for front?

    I love those lights in the mirror. I wish it was a dealer option in the US. I found the part numbers. It would be $230 USD per side to order them. I talked to my dealer and he said they would fit. I would just have to wire them. They appear to only come in black so I would have to paint them as...

    Any suggestions for a Good seat treatment?

    Love slick mist! I use that a lot as well as the Honda cleaner spray. I use that stuff only on my painted bits. I like the 303 better on my black plastics because of the matte finish. I find when I get Slick Mist on those they get to much of a shine and it gets steaky. Also when my legs hit it...

    Sway Bar question - do 2020 & newer Spyders benefit from upgrading?

    I changed mine on my 21 RTL to the Baja Ron bar. It made a big difference for me. The Baja Ron bar looked beefier. The real upgrade was the stabilizer bushings and end links. Those are a massive improvement over stock. Although I would recommend changing it all out you can always just change...

    Any suggestions for a Good seat treatment?

    I use 303 automotive interior and exterior spray on my seat and all my non painted plastic, and rubber pieces on my Spyder. I apply it at least every 30 days or if I have been in the rain. It has a matte finish and does not dry greasy. I really like 303 products. Used this and their tonneau...

    Pedal commander questions on a 2021 RT

    I still use my cruise all the time. I use it at 25mph to whatever my highway speed is. I have to use it so I don't get tickets! It keeps me in check.

    Wanna know why Amazon, Ebay and others exist?

    Cool just make that awesome statement without any detail as to what you think is wrong about my statement.

    Wanna know why Amazon, Ebay and others exist?

    Here is the rub with that and free shipping....There is no such thing! No carrier says hey I will take all your shipments for free. Its being paid by someone. That someone is the little guy or you. Amazon and Walmart.com are market places. This means a lot of small business sell products on...

    Anybody used regular gas in the spyder RT? Any performance loss?

    I used it a few times mainly on a muscle memory accident. I really did not notice a big difference until I got my pedal commander, then it became real clear. I could feel the knocks and the loss of low end torque as I was getting all of it with a short throttle twist. Higher compression needs...

    Underglow lights - how are they attached to the frame?

    The ones I got on amazon go under the Spyder and connect in a chain to each other. They are attached to places that will not interfere with a jack and also allow body panels to come off without having to remove the lights as they are connected in a chain and you just remove the cable from the...

    2020 RT Saddlebag Sticking

    Reached under and could feel the what you are talking about. Was able to adjust them so easy. Now they open better then they ever have before. Thanks so much for the post.
