• 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.

    New Garmin Zumo XT Released

    I decided to return the 595LM I just purchased and ordered the Zumo XT direct from Garmin. Since I'm adding a GPS newly to my 2020 RTL I decided to go with the latest offering. We'll see. Rob

    New Garmin Zumo XT Released

    Of course, as I just purchased a 595LM! One thing I don't see with the new one is the ability to use the Garmin TPM caps and app. I really like TPM functionality and I already have the caps from my prior 590LM. I don't know if I should return the 595 as I just received it yesterday or keep it...

    BRP Connect and Android Phone

    I have a 2020 RTL and an iPhone. When the iPhone is connected to BRP Connect, it is "locked" from being used for any other purpose while connected to BRP Connect. Is this also true if you have an Android phone connected to BRP Connect? Rob

    First impressions on the 2020

    Great observations that closely match my early experience with my 2020 RTL. I went with the Asphalt Grey, which I really like. I believe I now fully understand BRP connect and I use it. IMO BRP claims the screen to be larger than it is as it's really two screens with about 1/2" in between...

    2020 RTL and 2020 F3L Topcase

    Does anyone know if the rear topcase on the 2020 RTL and the F3L are exactly the same? I can't tell by looking at photos of an F3L. I ask because I have a 2020 RTL and an accessory given to me for an F3L topcase that doesn't seem to perfectly fit my topcase. This makes sense if they are not...

    2020 RT Limited

    I have the short reach bars on my 2020 RTL and I'm enjoying them as much as the TriAxis bars I had on my '15 RTL. My short reach bars are positioned as low as possible as you have some degree (15 degrees maybe) of freedom as to how low (flat) or high you want to place them. I'm 5'8". Rob

    Miles/Gallon on the 2020 RTL

    I have almost 600 miles on my 2020 RTL and I'm at about 36mpg. On my 2015 I was at 40+ and I expect I'll get there on the 2020. I'm easy on it and in ECO mode all of the time. Rob

    2020 RTL Warranty Bulletin

    Good news, BRP has issued a Warranty Bulletin regarding the "Abnormal Gaps Around the Rear Cargo Module Access Covers". I suggest you contact your dealer if you are impacted by this. The pdf file is too large to post so I've included an image of Page 1. Rob

    Extended warranty

    I purchased a 5 year Cornerstone extended warranty from Sierra Cycles (SC) for near $1100 for my new 2020 RTL. I wanted a longer term and SC's experience with Cornerstone was very good, and they are well represented within motorsports firms. Thus, I could likely get service and coverage...

    New 2020 Spyder LT Limited brought home today

    I got my Asphalt Grey one on Saturday. I, like you, found the ride to be so much better than my 2015 RTL. I was very positively surprised. Now I'm trying to get through BRP Connect. Sygic was recommended to me as the GPS solution. I have it installed on my phone and working on my Spyder...

    2020 RT Backrest

    I assume you mean the driver's backrest. I have a 2020 with backrest and I had a 2015 with a backrest. IMO the answer is no because the insertion plate under the seat is completely different as is the insertion bar on the backrest. In the older versions there were two posts, in the new one it...

    2020 RT Backrest

    The hitch will move over, as I just did it. Per Pierre, the wiring harness will not. Rob

    2020 Blue RTL Dark for Me

    Congratulations as I just got my 2020 RTL in Asphalt Grey. I purchased through Sierra Cycles which is another outstanding dealer in Southern AZ. My third Spyder through them. For me they are the best dealer I've ever worked with ANYWHERE. For everyone, they have the best pricing on extended...

    New 2020 RTL Today

    I found no rear panel blemish on mine at all. The assembly also seemed tight and the lines were good. The ride home was amazing; the best Spyder ride I've ever had! Rob

    New 2020 RTL Today

    Good for you! I did my first ride today from Sierra Vista to Tucson (back home). Unreal! This was the finest Spyder ride I've ever had. The suspension is tight and the ride comfort is amazing. Did you find it to be the same? Rob

    New 2020 RTL Today

    Today I'm proud to be purchasing the first 2020 RTL from David Levitt, owner of Sierra Cycles in Sierra Vista, AZ. There is no dealership like them. This is now my 3rd purchase through them. They are a family-owned, honest, customer focused, and truly friendly dealership. I chose the Asphalt...
