• 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.

    2020 RTL - thoughts from the first 200 miles

    First, I have loved my 2013 RTL and decided to upgrade because I found a deal locally. Here are some things I’ve discovered: - The floorboards seem much bigger and longer. This means the brake pedal is much further forward than on my 2013. Not a biggie at all - I just need to adjust. - Much...

    Moving to a 2020 RTL from a 2013 RTL. What do I need to know?

    What is the difference between TSB and a recall? Are all these items covered under warranty?

    Moving to a 2020 RTL from a 2013 RTL. What do I need to know?

    Thanks all. The wife and I are looking forward to the new ride and will report on my new grin. I have loved my 2013 RTL and love the sleeker look of the 2020. A plus is that it has a few upgrades already!

    Moving to a 2020 RTL from a 2013 RTL. What do I need to know?

    I had a previous thread where I thought I might buy a 2018 and some suggested moving to a 2020+...so I did. I made a deal on a local 2020 RTL with a few upgrades and will take possession of it in a few days. Are there things I should be aware of with the newer model that vary from the 2013? I do...

    2013 RTL versus 2018 RT?

    I took the advice here and am looking at a 2020 RTL...I really love the looks and the feel. Working on a deal now and will see where it goes. If all is well I will have a 2013 RTL up for sale in a few week! Thanks for the advice. Jerry 2013 RTL

    Thanks for the sound advice. I might just go straight to 2020+ RTL.

    2013 RTL versus 2018 RT?

    Other than the 1330 in the 2018, what are the differences between these two (for those who know) for comfort, reliability, etc. I was thinking I might upgrade to a new model. Or, should I just go straight to a 2020+? Jerry 2013 RTL

    Installed cat-delete on 2013 RTL

    I posted a “WTB” in the for sale forum on this site and a guy from Canada had one he removed and no longer needed. He mailed it to me.

    Installed cat-delete on 2013 RTL

    Good point. It seemed the clearance was good but I will double check. Thought it was odd that the rings were there but no spring. Plus I received two springs with the cat-delete. I thought someone was lazy or couldn’t figure out how to get it on.

    Installed cat-delete on 2013 RTL

    Finally found a cat-delete for the 998 for a reasonable price. I decided to wrap the unit with fiberglass insulation (you can buy the rolls designed for exhaust). This caused some of the connections being a little tighter to get to because it seemed all my clamps holding the insulation down were...

    Do I need Cat delete baffles? If so where from - for 2013 RTL?

    I am in the process of buying a cat delete for my 2013 RTL. The current owner does not have any baffles. Do I need baffles? If so, what size/where might I buy them?

    Spyder engine will not turn over?! What did I miss?

    Kill switch? Who knew???? Owned this several years and never touched the kill switch... Didn't even cross my mind. Yes, it was the kill switch... Must have hit it somehow. I guess I have learned my lesson...

    Spyder engine will not turn over?! What did I miss?

    True, the battery could be bad. Couldn't even get it to turnover with a jump. I'm not getting the screen i need to press the mode button to start.

    Spyder engine will not turn over?! What did I miss?

    Just got stranded...2013 RTL had been running fine and driven most days. I stopped at a local place and came back out to find it wouldn't start. In fact, i do not get the warning screen where i need to press the button to start. Battery is near new. It is in neutral. I removed key for a spell...

    What's a good, safe Cruising speed for 998 Spyders?

    I recently read a Facebook post where people listed their average cruising speed for their 1330 (some up to 90mph). I have heard these Rotax engines are high rpm engines. What is a good, safe cruising rpm for the 998. I do about 70mph at 5000 rpm’s. Just curious because I do not want to shorten...

    Good ride with wife today

    The wife has not been on the Spyder for 6 months due to some pain and cold weather - I ride in cold weather with no problem. I will admit it was a learning curve again since she has not ridden with me for so long. Slower take offs from a stop (2013 RTL), more time needed to brake safely (quite...

    Does the RTS seat fit the RTL?

    Thanks all. I purchased the seat and the install was quite easy. It is nice to have a backrest so I can relax without feeling I am going too far back on the seat. It helps keep the wife anchored as well!

    Does the RTS seat fit the RTL?

    Was wondering if a 2016 RTS seat fits on a 2013 RTL? It seems it would but just not sure.
