• 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.

    Mini Easy Accessible Storage for Passenger

    Good idea! I had a tank bag fitted onto our 2015 ST Limited and it held all that misc stuff, but it won't work on the new RT's. They are sadly lacking in glovebox space (but they have plenty of speakers that are useless to me!) I will check it out. Thanks Just ordered and received a similar...

    Spare key storage.

    Oh-Oh, I was hoping that an unchipped key would not turn on the dash. Therefore, I assume you could then release the electric parking brake and roll the Spyder away!!

    Spare key storage.

    I like the idea of using a hidden unchipped key that would allow you to unlock the storage compartment that hides a chipped key.

    Using maps on cell phone

    If you launch Google Maps to simply see a current map, it will 'time out'. But if you have 'started a destination' it should stay active on the screen. As mentioned above, I create routes on a desktop PC, then click the link: "send directions to your phone", BUT I then choose my Gmail account...

    blue ridge parkway

    Clingman's Dome is pretty cool if you can find a day without fog. Pretty good hike to get up to the observation deck! Make sure you take some gear for cold weather. You can be roasting, down in the towns, then getting pretty cold (and wet) when up on the ridge.

    Vibrations at 4200 RPM on 2020 RT??

    On my 2021 RTL, tire sticker is under the seat and states 20 front and 28 rear (no tolerance given!)

    Looking to purchase a new 2021 Sea to Sky or Spyder RT Limited

    I think you'll find that inventories are pretty thin everywhere and dealers are getting top dollar for everything! At least that was my recent experience when searching for RTL's. I couldn't find a red one in Ohio but then luckily saw one on the website of Honda East in Toledo. They didn't...

    What are the Differences between '20+ F3 Limited and '20+ RT Limited???

    Ditto!! We started with a 2012 RS-S, then upgraded to a 2015 ST Limited to get the "touring" features (bags, cruise control, windshield, heated grips, running boards etc). I wanted the sporty RS 'look' and was never thrilled with the bulky rear end of the original RT's. (I still own and ride 2...

    Fix for buried push pins on new body styles

    Here's another choice from Amazon. A selection of these little buggers and some handy tools https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QFRK2BY/?coliid=I38WPDN9ECMEUG&colid=24OG2H0A4T5GO&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    It's Official, Brought Home a 21 RT Limited Today!

    Me too. Kept my Zumo 590 when I traded in our 2015 ST Limited. But, $250 for the OEM handlebar mount is excessive. I used the $50 LaMonster Ram mount, replaced the 1" ball and mounted the 590 using other parts.

    21 RT Ltd - what does the usb plug in glove box do?

    That's one of the disappointments on the new RTL's. $30K and you get a single USB port that has limitations and nothing in the frunk. Of course, you can add your own and there are two, way back in the top case, but still...

    Front funk hard to open and close sometimes

    Check the alignment of the locking pin on the hood when it engages into the latch (if you close it slowly, you can see it better). Applying a light coat of grease on the latch mechanism will also help.

    2020 RTL Removing Brake Fluid Reservoir

    There is a quarter inch void above the hanger clip that allows the reservoir to be raised up in order to release it from the clip. You should be able to see this void as you move the reservoir up and down on the clip bracket. If anything is inserted into this void when the reservoir is in...

    New 2021 Canam Spyder RT-LTD-Sea and Sky

    I really do like the looks of the new RT's with the top case removed and I'm planning to order the color matched cover plate on the wife's 2021 RTL. (my dealer gives a 20% discount on all parts and accessories!). BUT, I don't think you'll find a practical storage solution for that big plate...

    New 2021 Canam Spyder RT-LTD-Sea and Sky

    Last week, the wife rode her 2015 ST Limited 100 miles to a dealer in NW Ohio to trade it on a new 2021 red RTL (I was on my Kaw Versys). Coming home on a 2 lane, I went around a slow poke and told her to come around (Sena intercoms), but she was in 6th gear and it wouldn't accelerate, so she...

    HowTo: Shad top box install on 2021 RT base

    I mentioned this on another thread, but my new 2021 RTL came with a plastic "wrench" to aid in removal of the top case. I believe it may be P/N 529000146 but an internet search didn't turn up anything.
