• 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.

    Towing Spyder RT

    I have had their trailer for over a year. It has been a great investment. No problems at all. I tow it with my Honda Accord, and can hardly tell it is there. Getting the Spyder RT on and off takes 3 or 4 minutes. After 10,000 or more miles, it still looks good.

    Arkansas, a great State to ride your Spyder

    That is exactly the route that I have laid out for our trip on October 25. Glad to see that you enjoyed it.

    Zumo 660 Problem after MAP 2015.20 update

    I use Base Camp regularly, on both my PC and iMac. I keep my data in cloud storage so I can acces it from either computer. Couldn't get along without it.

    Brake peddle

    It seems a little high to me also. I tend to pivot my foot on my heel to reach the brake, instead of lifting my entire leg. That results in just pressing on the edge of the pedal -- I worry that my foot will slip off in a critical situation, but I guess I'm not worried enough to overcome my...

    RT Humming Any Ideas?

    They don't all do that. Mine had a constant whine that got louder month after month. BRP tech at Owner's Event said it was bad fuel pump, and my dealer replaced it. No more whine.

    Another cracked windshield arm - 2014 RT Limited

    It happened on my 14 RTLtd. I know it has happened on other 14s. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    My dealer is Louis PowerSports in Greenville, Texas. They do a great job both on sales and service. The BRP tech guy at the Durango Owners Event listened to my bike and said it was the fuel pump and that it needed to be replaced. I passed that info on to Danny, the service manager at Louis...

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    Had the fuel pump replaced on my 2014 RT Ltd last week. I have 4000 miles on it, and the pump was getting louder and louder for the last 2000 miles. It seemed to run OK, but the noise was certainly noticeable. The replacement pump makes no noticeable noise. The dealer replaced the pump...

    Cockpit Farkles

    I bought one, but found that the transparent cover on the phone pocket results in an overheated phone -- at least in the Texas sunshine. On a 95 degree sunny day, my phone was too hot to handle after being in the pocket for an hour or so. But I'll probably use it in cooler weather.

    Optimal shifting range for the 1330

    For normal riding, I shift around 2500-3000. When I want to kick it up on a straight country road, I take it to around 6000 in each gear at full throttle. That seems to provide the quickest time to highway speed.

    How to see just the forums I want?

    How can I restrict the messages I see to just those from certain forums? For example, I have an RT, so I'd like to block the non-RT forums (not that I don't like STs and RSs, but I can't contribute much to their discussions.)

    2014 side saddles are smaller

    Yesterday I packed up the larger of the two luggage pieces that i purchased for my old 2012 RT and tried to place it into my new 2014 RT Ltd. It wouldn't fit. I swear that I had used it in my 2012 before I sold it. Are the side storage bays on the 2014 smaller than the 2012? Sure seems like it...

    Oil Filters Backordered for RT Until September????????????

    I had the 3000 mile service on my 2014 RTL on Friday, and there was no problem installing a new oil filter.

    Exactly what does "Eco Mode" do?

    Exactly what does "Eco Mode" do? I know the nanny shows when it thinks I should shift, but is that all there is too it? It seems to me that I detect a change in the engine when I go into Eco Mode -- a slight reduction in speed or in power. Does the fuel mixture change? Or is the shifting...

    2014 RT factory seat drivers backrest

    Yes, you have to install a bracket, but that's all. It's simple and quick.

    Great trip to Colorado.

    We put about 800 miles on the Spyder, and about 2000 miles on the Honda and trailer.

    Great trip to Colorado.

    After we had already planned a two-week trip to New Mexico and Colorado, Linda and I found out that the owners event would be in Durango at that time, just adding to what already seem to be a great trip. We left Dallas at noon Saturday trailering out 2014 RTLtd, and made it to Amarillo before...

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    The CanAm tech at the owners event listened to the whine on my 2014 RTL and said it was the fuel pump, and to tell my dealer to replace it when I get the 3k service. I now have that scheduled. The service manager says it will take about 4 hours to replace. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    RT Humming Any Ideas?

    My 2014 RTL hums too. It is continuous when the engine is running, and does not change in pitch -- it's about F above middle C. It's annoying.

    Windshield mount screws

    I had the same problem -- the screw head sheared off. The dealer had to drill out the rest of the screw and replace it.
