• 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.

    Hi Ladies! Hot weather riding pants recommendations?

    We wear shorts or just underwear under mesh motorcycle overpants. It keeps the sun off while letting air flow. It also provides protection in case of an accident. Think of it this way: have you ever seen people in the desert in shorts and a t-shirt?

    Tires - what speed rating, H or T?

    I was hoping someone else would say this so I wouldn't look like a dummy. But I always thought that the higher speed rating was a softer compound. ????

    Urgent! Starter button acting up - Update!

    I always start my 2018 RTL from the left side before getting on the bike. When the start button has acted up different things have worked. Hitting it again, turning key off and on, hitting the menu button again. Note: I ride most everyday and this might happen once every two to three weeks...

    Urgent! Starter button acting up - Update!

    I have had occasional problems with mine. Usually it will work the second or most third time. The last time it happened it didn't want to work even after multiple tries. The neutral light was on but decided to try putting my foot on the brake and it kicked right over. May be a neutral switch...

    Got an Ez-pass? Where did you mount it on your Spyder RT ?????

    That's I switched to the frunk. I think the newer ones are as powerful and wondered about the timing of it being read and the camera taking pictures.

    Got an Ez-pass? Where did you mount it on your Spyder RT ?????

    I put mine under the lid for the frunk. I've done the same kind of thing on a number of bikes. I had it under the trunk lid on my Goldwings. Never had a problem.

    Dilemma

    That looks about the same as mine. I'm wondering with the shock behavior noted above that the shock is the problem.

    Dilemma

    The ACS was calibrated last fall with a Kenda on the wheel. The ACS would keep about 15lbs less in the bag than it does now after calibrating. It seems that once you get up to 50lbs or so the ride height doesn't change very much compared to going from 20 to 50lbs. It seems that the air bag is...

    Dilemma

    I recently asked for comparisons between the Kenda Kanine and Kuhmo tires. The reason I ask that specific comparison is I have a situation with a Vredestein tire. I went with Vredestein all the way around. The fronts have been great (175/55). The rear (205/65) are rubbing when going over a...

    Kenda vs Kuhmo ECSTA AST - How would you compare them?

    Thanks for all the replys. I'm going to start a new thread that explains why I asked this question. It would high jack this thread.

    Kenda vs Kuhmo ECSTA AST - How would you compare them?

    I know the Kuhmo has a questionable rating compared to other car tires but wondered how it compared to the Kenda, especially the new kanine.

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    Thought I'd check the national site to see if there was a difference. So far I'm not listed. Further down the page it states: "There may be a delay with very recently announced safety recalls for which not all VINs have been identified. VINs are added continuously so please check regularly."

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    Just checked my VIN and so far I'm in the clear. The thought occurred to me that the reason why some bikes are included and others are not may be due to BRP sourcing the pulleys from different vendors.

    Do Passenger armrests lock in place for ryding?

    I have a 2018 RTL. I haven't looked deeply but it seems that the armrests swing out of the way for mounting or getting off the bike. My question is when in place going down the road do they lock in place? In other words can the passenger lean against the armrest in the corners or will it just...

    which way to mount aftermarket shocks?

    Elka says it makes no difference. But recommend spring down so you can get to the rebound adjustment easily.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Looked longingly at her and told her I love her and that it won't be long.

    Too cold for me and my Spyder

    There's a saying: No such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. That being said my cutoff is 40 now a days. A few years ago I was on my Valkyrie and coming down a mountain road. I could tell something was going on so I had already slowed down. Came around a corner and on down at the next...

    Stranded by DESS Check Key - any fix besides towing?

    If you have drilled the hole in your key to put it on a key ring I've noticed that other chipped keys or devices can cause a problem if they are to close together.
