• 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.

    Need RT Passenger Arm Rest's

    Corbin arm rests We have Corbin arm rests and while they work well I cannot recommend Corbin. First they took several weeks to be delivered which seems excessive to me for what should be an off the shelf item. Second, the installation instructions were not good. They tell you to remove 2...

    Riding with spouse

    We bought our Spyder 3 years ago and at the time my wife suggested we get an SE5 so that in the event she wanted to drive that would be possible. Since then she has never even tried to drive it, much less think about getting her endorsement. Maybe that will change (but I doubt it) since I got...

    Need for flexible travel plans

    BRP does care BRP did a great job of getting the new ECU to Pioneer Motorsports, and Pioneer installed it Tuesday morning. We were back on the road shortly after noon, but not without more problems. After getting on the NY Thruway near Rochester we again got the check engine, check...

    Need for flexible travel plans

    Thanks for the offer Thanks for the offer of help, but I think we are all set. When the bike started acting up this morning I thought we might need it, but she held together until we got to Pioneer Motorsports. I was praying that it didn't quit, at least until we got within the towing limit...

    How do i (really my Hubby) change the rear tire on 2014 RT

    Axle nut torque I found that I was not getting the axle nut tight enough, and then the belt would go out of adjustment. When I finally got a torque wrench and tightened it to the specified 96 lb ft the axle stayed put and the belt stayed centered on the sprocket.

    REALLY PISSED OFF

    Gear Position Sensor Had the same problem 2 weeks ago,. Took the bike to the dealer and they discovered an oil leak from the seal in the water pump. Oil was therefore a little low causing a problem with the gear position indicator. They replaced the leaking seal and no problem since then...

    $20.00 shop fee and you already charging $110.00 hour

    Shop fees I guess I should feel lucky. Purchased my Spyder (2012 RT-S SE5) from a dealer 75 miles away, because at the time that was the closest. Two years ago the local Ski-Doo/Can-Am ATV dealer (Walt's Sales and Service just 5 miles from home) got a Spyder franchise. Have since bought a...

    Gas Mileage???

    Summer & Winter gas I realize winter and summer gas are different, but I am comparing mpg from last summer to current mpg. Just wondering if this is something unique to the gas we are getting in northern New England, or is it universal.

    Gas Mileage???

    Has anyone noticed improved gas mileage over the past couple months? When I took my 2012 RT S SE5 out of hibernation in April I noticed that I was getting a couple mpg more than I got last season. In the past I got about 30-31 mpg, but now I am getting 33-34 mpg. For the first tank of the...

    Ride through Michigan

    Michigan Lodging Several years ago we stayed at "The Root Cellar" on Lake Gogebic near Marinesco. They had a new section of rooms and they were excellent. Large, airy, flat screen TV, and clean. The onsite restaurant was very good. We hit it on a "special day" (I think it was a Tuesday)and...

    AAA Thanks for nothing

    AAA I've had AMA roadside assistance for a couple years and had the first occasion to use it about a month ago. Service was great and they had a truck to me in about an hour. This was for my pickup, not my Spyder. They cover any vehicle registered to me and will tow up to 35 miles. Had no...

    Two Incredible Rides This Summer

    Canadian Rockies Looks like you had a great trip to the Rockies, the pics are wonderful. We were there at the same time, left VT on 7/27 and returned on 8/17, only 6600 miles. I think we pretty much covered the same places, but I think you must have missed the Canadian holiday weekend 8/2-3...

    Need a little help & advice about my 2014 RT Limited, Please!

    Second battery I carry a Micro-Start Anti Gravity battery in my 2012 RTS. It is compact and has plenty of power to start the Spyder. It can also be used to charge a phone, laptop or tablet. Can be bought on ebay or Amazon for just over $100.

    A new issue with the bags

    Slap the bag to open the door Had the same problem with my 2012 RTS. The adjustment is simple, just requires a T30 Torx driver. Open the bag and loosen the two torxhead bolts between the latch mechanisms. Loosen the bolts a couple turns. Close the door and open it several times while the...

    DPS issues

    DPS Problem I had a similar problem in early August. Was riding along when I suddenly got an orange screen and a message on the screen to "Check DPS." I continued a little further and the bike went into limp mode. Pulled off on a side road, shut the bike down, removed the key and moved away...

    What Roads Prohibit Trailers

    Trailer prohibition Near you I think the only places you might encounter a prohibition is on the NY Parkways such as the Sawmill River Pkwy, Bronx River Pkwy, Taconic State Pkwy, etc. These used to prohibit commercial vehicles and trailers, but I'm not sure if that is still in effect.
