• 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.

    Anyone purchased a Stinger spyder trailer? After buying info...

    No wonder I couldn't find it, it's unlisted. Thanks for the link. I don't think I'd spend $500 on that winch just for the trailer, but I might spend $50 for a harbor freight trailer winch. I'd mount it to a receiver and put a pulley on the ceiling. As for a multi use trailer, I would love to...

    I've watched all the stinger trailer videos I can find and never seen that. Could you post a link or a hint about what the video title was?

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    I had this happen again yesterday just minutes after starting the bike. Again, couldn't shift up at all. Checked for fault codes and found none. Shut down for 5 minutes then restarted and everything works fine.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    When you say "doing the same thing" do you mean it would only shift down and wouldn't shift up, but turning the bike off for 5 minutes would fix the problem? After 10+ more hours of riding, I finally had this happen again. Couldn't shift up at all, but after turning the bike off for 5 minutes...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    I pulled out my endoscope and peeked up under the bike to get a picture of the sprocket. It sure looks white to me (aka not the final fix sprocket). The mechanic "assured" me that I had the final fix and didn't need to schedule a follow up. Don't get me wrong. I'm ecstatic to have my bike...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    According to my dealer, I had the "Final Fix" drive sprocket installed about 1 month ago. I think that most people are talking about how long until they get their final fix sprocket.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    No star washers. I'll double check whether it's tight. Mods were made 2 years ago when I bought the bike. I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with the physical switch because I can switch into and out of reverse (both directions work), but I can't shift from neutral to 1st. So it's got to be a...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed - 1 1/2 years and $1200) 2 times now, I've been riding and suddenly find that pushing the "shift up" paddle, doesn't actually shift up. I didn't see anything flash on the screen, didn't hear funny engine or drive train noises. I just can't upshift. Each time...

    Who Out There Has Gotten The Replacement Sprocket?

    I had mine replaced a few weeks ago. I have about 1,500 miles on the new one. I've been riding any day that's over 40 degrees. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?148595-Red-Dust-of-Death-Recall-Front-Sprocket-Recall-FINALLY&p=1652315&viewfull=1#post1652315

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Google has the ability to download offline maps. You just draw a rectangle and google with save navigation data onto your phone so you can plan routes without internet access. Google is fine if you don't care about the route or the roads you ride. If you want to hit specific roads and routes...

    Sprocket Final Fix Update from Shawn Smoak

    Most people have the red dust and a loose sprocket. It's a whole different thing when the sprocket completely fails and leaves you stranded without any drive. I'm the only one my mechanic had seen with a complete failure.

    Front Sprocket Repair available? Not the 'Interim Fix'!

    I got my 2019 Spyder RT Ltd back last week. Supposedly with the final warranty repair sprocket. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?148595-Red-Dust-of-Death-Recall-Front-Sprocket-Recall-FINALLY&p=1652315&viewfull=1#post1652315

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

    You know, I asked about the clunk 2 years ago when I bought the bike. "It's no big deal" everyone said. Then my drive sprocket stripped out and left me in the middle of a major highway leaving me with no drive power. And here you are asking "What about the big clunk"? "It's no big deal"...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    First ride since getting my Spyder back from warranty repair. Last week the avg temperature was in the 70s. This week is in the 40s, but I've been without the bike for 3 months and just can't wait for warmer weather.

    Anyone purchased a Stinger spyder trailer? After buying info...

    I bought a Stinger from a friend. I have no idea where he bought it. I got the impression he had to go get it. I've used it about 4 times now. Easy to load and unload the bike. Great to store all folded up against the back wall of the garage. Not great for folding and unfolding. I can...

    Have BRP's Supply and Inventory problems been resolved?

    No "maybe" about it. The next sprocket that came in did go to me, was installed, and I'm back to riding. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?148595-Red-Dust-of-Death-Recall-Front-Sprocket-Recall-FINALLY&p=1652315&viewfull=1#post1652315

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    That's the whole problem with mechanics. You have to trust that what they are telling you is the truth because "Insurance won't allow customers into the shop to see for themselves". But in this case, I don't think they have any incentive to lie about it. If the shaft was damaged, they said it...

    Have BRP's Supply and Inventory problems been resolved?

    Last week my mechanic received the shipment for my warranty recall repair. But when they opened the box, it contained a water pump instead of the sprocket. The box had labels with the sprocket part number and the invoice was for the sprocket. So I'd say - no.

    Anybody found a cure to Bluetooth locking up? 2018+ Spyders

    I never found a way to recover the bluetooth once it locked up. I pulled to the side of the road several times and tried for 30+ minutes. I would eventually have to turn the bike off and on to recover. It really sucks when you're in a group ride - "Hey can everyone pull over while I reset my...
