• 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.

    Good thought. We checked all the fluid levels before the trip but not since getting back. Thanks.

    Shift problem after bike sits o/night but fm then OK - Any ideas?

    Just got home from a 1000+ mile trip on our 2011 RT Limited with absolutely no problems. It's now got a BIG 33,000 miles on it. Gave it a good wash and then let it sit for a few days. When I went for a ride, I couldn't get it to shift out of first without it kinda cutting down (but the revs were...

    Is this 2011 Spyder RT with 12000 miles worth it?

    I agree with ARtraveler. Buying from an individual who isn't even present could really be a "red flag". After considering a FSBO bike ourselves, we bought a 27,000 mile, RT Limited, 2011 last year from a dealer for $12,000, just to be sure that we had someone reputable to take it back to in the...

    Know of any 'slip-on' Seat Covers for RT's?

    You may be able to get a few names from a JoAnn's Fabric and Craft store, of people who do sewing in your area. If there are any "crafty" folks, they should be able to figure out a pattern and be able to do a 4-way stretch fabric cover that kinda resembles a tight, stretchy pillowcase. The...

    Wife’s butt falls asleep on 2021 RTL seat. Got any suggestions?

    We had pretty uncomfortable seats on our previous Hondas so made some sheepskin covers and put 1"-2" memory foam padding underneath. Felt MUCH better! Sold the Hondas and ride the Spyder together so now they are on it instead. Still comfy. Something else to consider is if the passenger footbeds...

    My butt thanks you!

    We've got sheepskin on ours too. I also added a 1" thick piece of memory foam under the sheepskin, making it even more comfy.

    Anyone have Windshield fogging up problems?

    I used to have that problem with a former scooter that came with a tall windshield. I'm only 5'1" and always felt like I just didn't have the good visibility when looking through it while it was raining. Thankfully we had a windshield fabricator not too far away. I went to him and asked if he...

    First Time Passenger

    I'm blessed to have a hubby who is just as comfortable in the passenger seat as in the driver's seat. We both had Honda Forza maxi scooters and now decided it was time for a Spyder RT. Love being able to ride together on this fun new ryde!

    Park brake

    Arachnerds We are new to the world of Spyders, just having bought a sweet 2011 RTL a couple of weeks ago. Woohoo!!! I never seemed able to get the parking brake engaged or disengaged but my hubs could do it almost every time. After even mentioning it to the dealer, who came up with a few of the...
