• 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.

    hey Texas... about that Prius antenna...

    I noticed that you have a Prius antenna on your RT. Is there any improvement in reception? Was it difficult to change? That long antenna makes me nervous; it seems so fragile.

    Gas milage on a 14RT

    Pretty sure I slightly overfilled last time (stupid pump), but when I calculated mileage today at fill up, I got 45.3 mpg. So I figure it's decently over 40, anyway. 1700 miles on the bike, one rider, and I have banished the use of eco mode, as I hate the way it feels. I run 93 octane, as 91...

    Thinking of trading my Harley for a Can Am RT. Tell me how much you love yours

    I put over 20k miles on my RS. I know all about the bling... it has Ed Hardy graphics and is covered in rhinestones, lol! Recently, I moved to an RT. It's a refined beast. I was unsure how much I would like it, as I love riding the curves, but I enjoy it immensely. It's powerful yet smooth...

    RPM?mph

    I usually shift somewhere between 2500 and 3000. I have about 1400 miles on my RT. Last tank got 39.4, riding 2-up, going up and down mountains on nice, curvy roads :D I'm gonna try Bob's method now...

    Newbie spyder owner here question on bajarons swaybar

    One thing I can tell you is that you have to jack that Spyder up a lot higher that I imagined, lol! But it's worth it; you'll notice the difference immediately. The bar comes with instructions :) Be sure to go to Facebook and check out Carolina Spyder Ryders and there's another group for...

    2013 RT Fire, 26 July 2014

    If anyone reading here does purchase on of the 2013 RTs because of the great offers out there, please do some due diligence. Find out what 'fixes' were issued by BRP on this model, and make sure the dealer has done them! Don't trust their records on the bike. The dealer I purchased my 2009 RS...

    Windshield mount screws

    Huh. My sister and I have had our Spyders less than a month, and we both have had this problem. Surely it would not cost BRP so much more to buy screws made from a stronger material. Sheesh.

    Red RT on Grace Chapel Rd 7/10/14

    I passed a red RT in Granite Falls, on Grace Chapel Rd, on the bridge at 7:36 pm. I was in the green Prius, waving. Just wondering if you are a member here...

    Unusual Spyder parade entry

    You should have no trouble with the SE5. No clutch, no worries.

    buying spyder

    It is listed on a fake websites database; I wouldn't go there. Check your computer for malware. Also, there is no way that price is for real, unless the thing has been badly wrecked.

    2014 RT-S MPG Report for Texas (V2.0)

    Ok, stupid question time. Is there any reason there would be a mpg difference in an RT-S and a RT Limited?

    2014 RT-S MPG Report for Texas (V2.0)

    I'll try your shifting technique, guys; there hasn't been nearly as much discussion about shifting the 1300 as the 998, so I do appreciate the input. I do let off the gas the moment I see a light turn yellow, and roll up to it, but other than that, I just ride. I like having the power...

    2014 RT-S MPG Report for Texas (V2.0)

    Old school Prius here. 2007. No power mode. Mine still has the pretty colored screen, lol. It wasn't the lethargy that got to me, though. It mainly was the hazard of looking for the arrow. Slow acceleration isn't a problem for me, if I want, but the feeling of the machine being held back...

    2014 RT-S MPG Report for Texas (V2.0)

    I haven't been precise or scientific about my mpg, but so far, my first 3 tanks seem to be 34.75, 38.4 (Eco... aggravating as heck, though), and 37.75 (no Eco), mostly highway and interstate. The first tank was all interstate, actually. This is using fuel with ethanol, 93 octane (choices here...

    I'm melting...

    I am accustomed to an RS without air deflectors. The RT has no air flow, and it is pretty miserable in high temperatures. How can I substantially improve the amount of air on my body? I have a mesh jacket, but it is doing me no good without any air to go through it.

    Handling

    I did ask the dealer if they laser aligned new Spyders, and didn't get an answer. My guess is no. So, I plan to check on that, but want to do it where I won't get charged if no change is made, and the dealers just don't work that way. I'm hoping someone will be coming to my area soon. I have...
