• 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.

    Happy Easter everyone!

    One of those Giant Wisconsin Hares grabbed these two kids. Looks to be a cross between a rabbit and a werewolf! Kids were released in exchange for a bag of carrots and head of lettuce. A Happy Easter after all!!! God Bless you and yours on this Easter Sunday.

    What are the specs for the 900 ACE? Is it the base for the turbo 900 on sleds?

    Yeah, when the Turbo came out for Ski Doo a couple of years ago the same question was raised. The engine went from 90 hp to 130 and yes many components are different, namely the crank and pistons. I have the lesser engine in my snowmobile and it has plenty of giddyup for this guy. Results may...

    Will I lose saved settings by doing a Battery Change?

    No, you're good, settings will be saved once you reinstall the battery. But getting the little bugger in and out of there is the challenge. Set the bottom in first and tip the top of the battery in last, reconnect your cables and you're all set.

    FWIW; Low Fuel Light

    I apologize if the subject has been covered here (it probably has) I was curious just how much gasoline was left in the tank when the low level light came on. I have a 2016 RTS and typically get somewhere in the mid 30's for mileage. So on my last fill-up I zeroed out the trip meter with a full...

    Dumb question from first time Spyder owner

    You're correct sir, I meant to say 245 and that would be bone dry.

    Dumb question from first time Spyder owner

    I don't think there's a light. I have a 16 and have no light either I just watch my miles and fill up when it's getting down there. For me it's between 200 and 275 for miles to being close to empty.

    Mini Easy Accessible Storage for Passenger

    I did the same thing with my watercraft. The bag was designed for use on bicycles but I find it perfect for storing my dock line. Easy access and convenient.

    Any tips for easier RT battery removal and replacement?

    I too struggled with this, here's the method that I found works best. Insert the battery in to the space with the top tilted towards you. Simply tip the battery vertical and it should be in the home position. Connect the cables and you're good. The top clamp is tricky and may take a few tries to...

    Well that can't be right... panel fit around the panniers?!

    That's gotta be it, cart before the horse. Thanks for the input.

    Well that can't be right... panel fit around the panniers?!

    Thought I'd throw this out there for those more skilled/experienced than I. Here's the scenario; Took the panels off my 2016 RTS to do some cleaning underneath like dust, oil residue, etc. Put the panels back on in proper sequence but find that the last, bottom screw/fastener doesn't hold. As...

    Gimme A Brake!

    Been awhile since I posted last, it's been a long, cold, winter in Wisconsin but I'm getting close to waking the Spyder up from her long winter nap. Here's my question, how can you tell when the brakes need service or replacing? I ask this because last fall I had her in for the annual oil and...

    Epic Spyder Fails

    This may get too long for some but I'll try to keep things on track. First, I'm very happy with my Spyder. I had one issue but it was covered by the warranty and nothing since. This is not so much a Fail on my part but the part of the dealer/salesperson I bought it from. Here goes. A couple of...
