• 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.

    Worth it to upgrade 2012 RTL?

    I would think parts for the engine would be available for a few more years, and I hope I don't need any. :D With 4,000 miles, I hope the engine lasts for quite a few more years. And the more I ride it the more I like it.

    Worth it to upgrade 2012 RTL?

    Yes, that is what I'm trying to find out from people who have owned both. Newer would be nicer, but not worth 2 - 3 times the cost at the moment. If the main thing is the engine, I do not mind the 2012 engine at all. I do not even consider it a weakness.

    Worth it to upgrade 2012 RTL?

    I definitely don't mind revving the engine. That is actually a bonus for me. :D

    Hooking up Garmin GPS to '15 RT-Ltd - not charging?! Ideas?

    It is possible that the new battery is faulty. Do you have another one that you can try?

    New DIY Floorboards, Cheap TPMS, Daylight visible turn indicators +more (Many Pix)

    Thanks, looks like you just ran the bolt through the slot for the rear passenger floorboards. Good to know. I just had an idea. If you could trace your templates, or the finished products, and take a flat picture with a ruler on the long dimensions, I could just print it and scale it correctly...

    New DIY Floorboards, Cheap TPMS, Daylight visible turn indicators +more (Many Pix)

    Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but Eviltwin seems to still be active and helping others... Two questions: 1. Do you still have those plywood templates? If so, would you trace them on paper and send the paper to me? I will gladly pay postage. I can send you my address via PM. 2. On...

    Is there a correction for dodgy outside temp readings?

    Yes, I usually know the outside temperature before I even get on the Spyder. My Spyder's temperature reading is usually somewhere between 5 - 15 degrees high.

    Is training really needed to ride a Spyder?

    I think if a person reads about the vehicle and how to control it, especially in the curves, they can start slow and practice. That is what I did. Seller would not even let me take a test drive. So I low-balled her and she accepted my offer. I searched out the most curvy roads in the area...

    Removing the Gps mount to install phone mount - advice?

    I bought an adapter but I'm waiting on it to arrive. I'm hoping it plugs right into the GPS mount, holds my phone, and provides USB power for charging. Some of them have wireless charging, also. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001414151204.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.0.0.2098f19cv0WSxt

    Experienced the Death wobble!!

    Formerly riding motorcycles, I'm a newbie and still very careful in the corners. I'm becoming more confident every day, so I was just curious.

    Is there a correction for dodgy outside temp readings?

    Mine appears to be way off.

    2020 RTL - Anyone think they will ever update the bluetooth to work with other device

    By my rough calculations, 512gb would translate into about 3,500 hours of music. Do you really need to bring all that music with you all the time?

    Worth it to upgrade 2012 RTL?

    Revving the engine is definitely not a problem for me. In fact, I love doing it. If the main thing is the engine, I might want to stick with what I have.

    Good information, thanks. I was wondering what year they changed the engine.

    Worth it to upgrade 2012 RTL?

    I just bought my current one, and I know I will be riding it for a bit, but I am really loving it and I know I will be wanting a newer one before too long. So, if some of you have ridden or owned both, please talk me into it or out of it. Why is it worth it to get a late model year RT, or are...

    2020 RTL - Anyone think they will ever update the bluetooth to work with other device

    I just bought a Monster bluetooth FM transmitter. Works like a charm. My phone's audio, including Google Maps directions, plays through the Spyder speakers. I think it was about $15 at Wal-Mart. Plugs into the 12V socket in the trunk so it is close to the antenna. It provides USB support...

    Will Using 87 Octane impact performance?

    I wish these vehicles had OBD II ports. I have a device that can report timing advance 10 times per second, among a bunch of other things. On my Corvette, I could verify the difference in timing with various fuels. I guess there is no way to get real-time data like that on a Spyder. I wonder...

    Any simple Seat Covers for RT Ltd? Seat gets hot quickly!

    I hate to burst your bubble, but if you slide on the asphalt, jeans will rip instantly and will do you no more good than shorts. At least that's how it was in my case.
