• 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.

    2018 RT shifting paddle

    Yep ... I have some ideas. Just got my 2018 RTL back from the dealer - guess what was wrong. Shifting - in particular downshifting went from hard to accomplish to just won't happen. The paddle / lever was defective and replaced under warranty. I can even get you the part number ... once I...

    Hip hurts when I ride my RTL

    First, I am not a doctor and don't play one on TV. The normal aging process plus whatever we have done to our bodies over the past "X" number of years usually contributes to all of us having some back degradation issues. Some suffer from in just back pain / distress, other have symptoms that...

    2019 Rolex 24 at Daytona - Ride to and from Daytona

    Just curious about how many Spyder Ryders are also SportsCar racing fans. I make the pilgrimage to Daytona late in January for the Rolex 24 (26 - 27), the BMW Challenge (25th) and all of the support races / practice / qualifying on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Always dependent on...

    Manual Downshift Issue

    Wrap up / outcome I thought that I would wrap this up with the outcome. Once the dealer 'diagnosed' the problem it was "isolated" to the "left handlebar cluster". It was ordered, with that "two-day / overnight" service ;). Replaced, tested and voila - all works well. The tech said that he...

    2018 BRP connect phone and sena question

    I have the same setup. When my phone ring ... and I want to answer the call ... just push the jog dial on the Sena. Its easier than the joystick. Even though your phone call gets displayed on the dash, the Sena is still the comms connection. Give it a try.

    Lift / Hauling Question

    We are in the process of preparing to "go on the road" for a few years. Currently the 'rig' setup is a 45' Tiffin Coach and my Veloster in tow. I have seen a few coaches with a dual motorcycle lift on the rear and towing a car. - Is there a motorcycle lift that will accommodate the Spyder...

    Radio on 2014

    Sena 20 We have the Sena 20 also. A couple of things to check: (1) be sure that your setting in the Sena app on your phone are not set to limit volume. (2) Ensure the volume on your phone is turned to "11" (all the way up. Then all of volume control is on the Sena. This should allow you to...

    Manual Downshift Issue

    Billy - I am hoping that BUDS gives them the answer AND that they can fix it rapidly. At times I have doubts about any dealers ability to service vehicles in a timely manner. From my wife's old Toyota dealer to the old HD dealer ... neither seemed to have answers, common parts stocked or an...

    Manual Downshift Issue

    Thanks for the replies Thank you for reading and replying. She is heading for the dealer on Wednesday - oil change, look at the shift lever and the 'squeak'. I have the attention of the 'super tech' - I stopped in to ask the parts guy something and the tech just happened to remember me and...

    Manual Downshift Issue

    I have a 2018 RTL - it has right at 3000 miles on it. Last week I started experiencing a quirky issue when attempting to downshift or put the Spyder in reverse. When slowing or wanting a lower gear while riding the twisties or mountains I am one of those that will downshift. The lever...

    Spyder Sightings

    Does a sighting by the wife count? As I am ryding home from the store on the three-wheeled grocery-getter, I get a phone call from the wife. "Why didn't you pull into the driveway?" Me: "Because I am 8 miles from the house and crossing the river!" Her: "Oh, $^!t, there is another Pearl White...

    Picking up my new to me 2016 RT Limited tomorrow

    Stand Out from the Crowd FinFan, I am from VA although I no longer live there. The thing that I noticed is that practically everyone in VA has a vanity plate. We can tell who all the doctors, laywers, Armed Forces, and sports fans are. We can see who are grandparents; who gives to a certain...

    Motorcycle Air Conditioning

    Another option for cooling There are a couple of great options all dependent on price point, end goal of cooling and transport of the "infrastructure" part. In the past I have used a cool suit - vest and head gear with a small Camelback like pouch and small battery powered pump. Some thing...

    What is a reasonable time to wait for a dealer to service your Spyder?

    Another possible component of the extreme wait-times I have three dealers that are all a reasonable distance from me. Dealer #1 about 12 miles, dealer#2 about 48 miles ... dealer #3 about 50 miles but harder to get to. They all have a few things in common (1) they have one "Cam Am Master...
