• 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.

    RTS Right and Left turn Dissimilar

    I noted it in your other post tonight- Check have your dealer check these things- 1) Reset all DPS settings (zero in). If they do not know how to do this its an indication that they are not adept in the Spyder and need to call tech. 2) Check rear tire alignment, if its off to the left it will...

    Got her home! Still Some Steering Issues!

    Idleup - its really important to know what else they did. They shouldn't have just aligned the front end, they should have reset the DPS settings also , this could very much explain your sensations.

    Getting ready to head out to Magog

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    I have not used one on my RT, have ridden a GS with one. There is one available for the RT but it is my understanding that it is only marginally larger and does not make a huge difference , where the GS aftermarket swaybar was a BIG difference maker.

    SPYDER RTS STEERING PROBLEM - WARNING!

    Mike, Not to knock your dealer but quite frankly , if the tech at your dealer thinks there is a difference between the dps units and steering on a RT and RTS, your problems start there. I too was a original spyder adoptee, getting 2 of the first spiders in ny state. We now own 2 RTS's. To answer...

    True , however before our RT's , we tried a BRP Comfort seat (wife loved it when she drove , I thought the bowed shape of the stock seat fit me a bit better ). So who knows what the answer is there? Some have loved the Corbin but I found it way too hard for me , case in point a guy I work...

    Mike- I concurred with your statements on both my wifes and my RTS's at highway speed versus a wing....however, on the return leg of our last trip we covered interstates for almost 14 hours (yuck). Speeds were in the 75 mph range then slower , then faster with one long blast of a couple hours at...
