• 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.

    1 Month Newby Check In

    Well, I have now had my 2014 RTS SM6 for one full month. I have racked up 3500 miles, I consider this a decent amount since I am not retired and my wife wants to see me off the bike once in a while. I got the first maintenance completed last friday and probably paid too much at $250 but I picked...

    Spyder Sightings

    Geneva, NY My wife and I walked around a Black RT Limited that was parked at the Ramada in Geneva. Plates were from PA. Suspect just there for a wedding that was in progress.

    Passenger audio controls not working 2015 RT-S or am I doing something wrong?

    ReAwakening Thread for clarification only I have read the manual...it refers to the wired audio for the passenger. I have read in the above thread the reference to a "wired helmet setup". I have a 2014 RTS....my wife can change radio station or iPhone(iPod) song playing but not the volume...

    Need a replacement radio antenna.

    It took all of 15 days of owning my RTS to have someone break off my antenna. Had already read this thread and planned on swapping the OEM out with the Shorty because of the cover on the bike but it seems I have escalated that replacement. I saw some posts about a replacement being under...

    Best of New England Roads, Places to Stay and See for the Motorcycling Community

    Sorry you only saw the bad side of the Ocean State:shocked:. Ocean Drive is gorgeous year round:ohyea:...and not much traffic. Bad roads in downtown Newport are called cobblestone roads and they are made to be that way:yikes:. Bad drivers? Guessing you have never driven around Bostonnojoke. Lol...

    Best of New England Roads, Places to Stay and See for the Motorcycling Community

    I grew up in RI and highly recommend the Newport area ride. Mansions are gorgeous, lots of good food, and always a fun time. Just my 2 cents from a prior local.

    Uncomfortable cornering

    I'm also new to the RT corners and find myself trying to figure out the right way to do it. I have been putting myself forward as much as I can as well as leaning on the inside of a curve(i.e. right side on right turn, etc). I thought that was right when I saw the DVD with 2 up and both...

    Bike Barn?

    I suspect anything portable would be killed by UV where you live. A lot of posts on the portables only lasting a year or two before having to replace the covers on them. I will only use the BB for 3 seasons and it is semi shaded by being between two buildings so will see. This falls back to my...

    Bike Barn?

    Needed something to cover her... I went ahead and placed an order for the BB in trike size. Didn't feel comfortable with having to add another tarp to the top of the tent garages to let them survive from UVs. Size of the BB is also perfect to sit in my driveway(cement) and still have about 5...

    Bike Barn?

    I'm definitely looking at this one. I will have to go with a slightly smaller model as I believe my driveway width where I would put it is only 11' wide. I would probably add a tarp to cover it and cement blocks to attach to the legs as it will be sitting on a cement driveway. Plus is that it...

    Bike Barn?

    Yeah... I am looking at it as a 3 season only option. We also have a Sea Doo(jetski) that we store in a family members garage for the off-season times. Would prefer a temporary garage or shed but very few of them have wide enough doors to get this inside. Looking also just for weather...

    Letter E Displayed on Console on a 2014RTS-SE6

    On my first rides(1000 miles in last 3 days) I have seen the "E" when going from 1st to Reverse on my 2014 RTS SM6. Just very briefly an E before it flips over to the R...never from R to 1st again. Guess I will need to run it in to the dealer soon. Crud...just when I started to get to enjoy it.

    Awesome new ride!

    Well, 910 miles later I am home and very much enjoying this awesome ride. Stopped once after about 350 miles in Ft Wayne. Didn't take me long at all to get used to the ride though steering has to be the biggest learning challenge from a 2 wheel Veteran. Other than a nasty sunburn I had a great...

    2014 RTS, BT, and "on the cheap"

    I will check out the video later this afternoon as I work in a hospital. The LG Headset that I have is for handsfree phone so from that perspective it can work but if you are saying that I can't have it plugged into the 30 pin and have it paired via Bluetooth then that will suck. I will have to...

    2014 RTS, BT, and "on the cheap"

    I have searched and read lots on this site and the other about the Sena BT options as well as Dongle vs Headsets and I am needless to say very confused as to what I should initially go with for my spyder. I'm picking it up in about another week and driving it about 13 hours home from a...

    Will a NY EZ Pass for an auto work for my Spyder?

    NY EZ Pass question Actually, the thruway package is cheaper than the bike transponder discounts. Would have thought a bike should have been cheaper but they won't allow the thruway package with a bike...

    Will a NY EZ Pass for an auto work for my Spyder?

    NY EZ Pass question Just got following back from EZ-Pass NY: Yes, you can in fact use your current vehicle’s E-ZPass tag on your motorcycle as you return home to New York. However, they do recommend that you get a transponder for the bike once it’s registered. Will make it easier going...

    Will a NY EZ Pass for an auto work for my Spyder?

    NY EZ Pass question I will search for it. Thank you. I came here from Chicago and like most other states they don't even have a different transponder for motorcycles. Heck, there if you have your license plate on the account and go through without a transponder it deducts the ezpass fee...

    Will a NY EZ Pass for an auto work for my Spyder?

    NY EZ Pass question I think I will go with this. Between the car transponder and probably a pocket full of change in case a gate doesn't feel like cooperating I should be ok. Thanks for feedback.
