• 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.

    How can you pass a PA roadtest on a spyder

    In NY my wife had to do the figure 8 and went out of the box (in NY they use a single lane side street so she literally crept up over the curb with one wheel). He noted it and did not deduct for it. :p

    Urgent Purchasing advice.

    Always go through a repo with a fine tooth comb. Been in this business way too long. repo means no money. No money usually means maintenance (OIL CHANGES) are far down on that persons priorities and a couple have been skipped. A large percentage of vehicles I see repo'd are way way way behind...

    Trunk that will fit BRP quick attach backrest

    Good luck :clap:- I did look at the Sears/JC Whitney route but the fit and finish was important to me and it is quite different between those and the Givi and the final decision was the thin metal base plate that will certainly rust. The Givi WITH the Givi base plate can be had new for almost...

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar

    Words don't quite cover the frustration of talking in circles. When you take it to a dealer , have the alignment set AND THE DPS AND SIDE FORCE SET , let us know how it rides...

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar

    Good Luck, I truly hope you get it handling the way you want, and unfortunately yes a 1/4 turn either way even equally can affect this in a way you don't suspect, if its not zeroed and the dps unit is exerting slightly more force right or left and lets say you crank out 1/4 turn each. Now the...

    Can Shortee Antenna Be Used For CB Only?

    MM -I rarely disagree ,but...... I was an avid Ham and CB radio operator in my youth, (my father was chief engineer responsible for setting up radio and tv transmitters across the country) and our vehicles were laden down with every CB radio and antenna known to man and I learned much over the...

    Audio Only GPS - How can I do this?

    The GPS harness is Garmin specific, will absolutely not help with what you are trying to do. It comes off the back of the Garmin specific GPS mount and has if I remember correctly 16 pins to the 16 lead connector. If you like listening to wease , just download iheart radio (google it or just...

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar

    The first thing we mentioned was resetting the DPS, have you even called your dealer and asked him if this was done after the alignment? .......I appreciate what your trying to do but you assume the DPS is already zeroed when you do this and also that the side force setting is also correct...

    road trip bitten- please help

    After a couple thousand miles with the trailer behind me , I'd never use anything but the BRP hitch. It works on every spyder and its amazing how the hitch works so well mounted on the swingarm. And if you need to take it off , (I never bother) its 5 minutes.

    Audio Only GPS - How can I do this?

    Ahhh Rick- I'm a Wayne Central Graduate so bear with me , I still have the 315'r genes.... The RTS audio system has a electronic "cut" circuit to over-ride the audio when the factory installed Garmin sends an audio signal. This is built into the circuitry and uses a chip to over-ride the...

    Can Shortee Antenna Be Used For CB Only?

    Not to muddy up the situation but I thought the same thing of my RTS until I rode my wifes RTS and she was pulling in stations from 60 miles away. I would get reception only in the "metro" area of a city and once in the outskirts it was gone. Her RTS got great reception even from the next market...

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    I owned 2 Original Spyders and I own 2 RTS's now. I don't have any of those symptoms- I will say this however , I felt awkward on the RTs for a few hundred miles and seemed to be always correcting the steering. I guess I just learned a better body position. I do know I use very very little...
