• 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.

    Here's some New Kenda Tires!?!

    This is my experience with Kanines. I just put 3 Kanines on my 21 RTL. Dealer mounted and balanced the rear and I did the front. I found static balance worked best on front 1/4 oz on 1, 1/2 oz on the other and they run smooth at all speeds. I have about 1500 miles on them and so far they are...

    CVT noise "shifting" in and out of neutral - drive belt?

    From that picture I think you may have a broken secondary clutch spring. I had one break on my snowmobile and it felt like it was taking off in 2nd or 3rd gear (if it had gears). The belt should run out to the top of the secondary clutch when idling. If you don't have the tools to take the...

    2018 RT-L Chrome - FM Radio Reception

    My 2019 was this same. Very poor reception. I tried all the above plus an antenna booster. Ended up using pandora and bluetooth to my phone. It did get fixed when I traded for a 2021.

    Oil leak 2021 400 miles HELP

    I posted this in another forum also. I had a small leak on my 2021 spyder RTL also. It was on the right side and the oil leaked down the front and across the bottom towards the rear of the bike. All on the right side. It was a small leak, I never added oil just small leaks on the floor. I found...

    Metal valve stems

    When the auto manufacturers went to TPMS, most of them went to a metal (aluminum) valve stem. 5 years down the road the aluminum corroded and the stem leaked. TPMS sensors are approximately $50. Now most all TPMS sensors are back to rubber. Must we learn this all over again? What do they think a...

    RT tall windshield install/comparison

    I just put F4 tall and wide on my 21. My wife was getting all the wind in her face and didn't like it. It makes about 2 MPG difference in mileage but now the wife is happy. I did get the optional vent and I found leaving the vent open, I don't notice a lot of difference in handling. When shut...

    BRP Connect Survey

    All BRP needs to do is look on facebook, spyder lovers or any other social media that might talk about the BRP connect app and they will see how disappointed and frustrated the majority of user's are. Or they could actually try to use it and experience the frustration and user unfriendliness or...

    ‘20 RT-L Noisy Shock and ACS Suspension Question

    i have had a 2019 and a 2021, both RTL's. They have performed the same. When I ride 2 up (after riding 1 up) I will start the Spyder let it warm up. After we are both on the Spyder I will put it in gear and if I let it set and idle for a minute or 2, I will hear the compressor run and the Spyder...

    2020 RT rear panel removal - is it meant to be this hard?

    Take the rear seat off and squirt some armor all on the rubber mount, work it up and down then it will slide right off. I had trouble the first few times taking the tour pack off and putting the trim panel or tour pack back on until I got a little lube on the rubber mount. Make sure what ever...

    Mpg 9.9

    Who ever is in charge of BRP connect and GPS must have been promoted to program the MPG trip odometers.

    Mpg 9.9

    I have a 2021 RTL. Mine does the same thing. Sometimes it will show less than 10 MPG average on one of the trips and 30 something on the other. I haven't found a pattern to it yet. If I had thought about it yesterday, I would have asked my dealer when he was putting a new rear tire on it. i...

    How do you dress for a ride?

    I wouldn't blame Spyder Lovers. Some of these topics are started for the friction they will cause. Proper gear, oil and tires seem to bring out the emotions in people. Some of the answers get my emotions going also, but I just scroll on by. After all they are entitled to their opinion too. (even...

    Is there something going on at Lamonsters?

    Now more often than not I can't get an answer on the phone, but a text or an email is almost instant. I'll try the phone Monday. There has to be someone there, they took my money and sent me most of it.

    Is there something going on at Lamonsters?

    Is there something going on at Lamonster's? I got a set of highway pegs for my 2021 RTL and was missing some parts and I had a fitment issue. I have sent them 2 different e-mails since 7-7-21 and haven't gotten any reply.

    Anyone else discovered oil Porosity on their new engines? 2020 RT

    I have a 2021 RTL and had a leak when new that seemed to go away, until I did my 2nd oil change at 7000 miles. The oil was running down the front of the engine on the right side and running along the bottom of the engine on the right side. The dealer replaced the oil cooler o rings/gasket. First...

    Lamonster Belt Tension Roller

    I had a BRP vibration dampener go bad on my 2019 RTL with between 10000 and 15000 miles. My 2021 RTL came with a vibration dampener on it from the factory. The roller looks the same small and a single bearing. I'm going to replace the roller and bearing with Lamonster's when I replace my rear...

    Road vibrations on 3 wheels

    My first thought when I got my first spyder was it took the bumps way softer than my Street Glide did. A sharp bump on the Harley would make my wife complain how hard it hit. I watch the 2 wheel bikes in front of me hit a harsh bump and it will almost bounce the bike. The suspension on the...
