• 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.

    Buying a demo

    I think that's a little to high priced for a demo with that many miles on it. 5000 miles is a lot for a demo. I haven't checked prices lately, but last fall in October and November dealers around here were selling brand new RTS-SE5's for just a little more than that. If it doesn't come serviced...

    FYI: Victory Motorcycle is No More

    I live near the worlds largest Polaris/Victory/Indian dealer. This news shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The Polaris company isn't getting out of the motorcycle business. They are just discontinuing one of their two lines of motorcycles. When they acquired the Indian brand it was easy to...

    RAINGEAR

    It's a new and interesting design but the long zippers would worry me. One minor malfunction in a zipper and the suit is pretty much useless.

    Hi new guy here with some questions

    " ridiculous amount of maintenance required on the older models" "ridiculous amount of maintenance required on the older models" That is simply not true. There is slightly more maintenance required than the newer models, more frequent oil changes being one. The biggest thing is probably the...

    What kind of Trailer do you use to carry your Spyder?

    The F3 must be alittle narrower than an RT. My RT didn't fit into my 5' wide trailer.

    ABANDONED BY BRP !!!

    A local BRP dealer near here apparently lost their BRP and Honda motorcycle franchises too last spring. Within a few months some one else just down the road started selling BRP products and Honda motorcycles. When I got my Spyder in 2012 there was one dealer within 20 miles, 2 within 70 miles...

    More tire S@#T

    I agree. I don't have the same brand tires up front that you do. Until you try a good 4 ply tire up front you'll not realize how inferior the Kendas are. If or when I get a new Spyder I'll most likely run the rear tire till it's wore out, but the front tires will be replaced asap.

    Why Not Keep It longer

    Someone said "more money than brains" could be why so many don't keep their Spyder longer. I suspect that is partly right. Most Spyder owners are at a point in life where they can afford to update when the next latest and greatest model is unveiled. I have a 2012 RTS-SE5 with 24,000. Over the...

    215/60/15 doesn't rub on RT?

    I saw that replace tire showing on mine too now. I didn't measure the thread depth but there is still a lot of life left yet in the tire I believe.

    F3's are like unicorms

    Other than at dealers I've only seen 2 or 3 here actually out on the road.

    RT fire from FB post in Memphis

    Fire dept. must of got there right after the pic with the thing up in flames. Saved the front 18" and half or each front tire.

    Is this bad ??

    That's just a bolt for your hitch. The big nut for your axel is still in place. Had your axel come out that far while you were driving you'd be calling a tow truck and maybe an ambulance.

    Front end shimmy

    If you still have the original tires up front I'd bet my money on a tire. My front Kenda's started acting much like you are saying at 20,000 miles. Put a pair of automotive quality tires on, they aren't really very expensive. Should that not solve the problem you have eliminated a whole list of...

    2012 Spyder RT Limited on Sale - Thoughts ?

    To answer your tire question.......I'm betting the rear has been replaced already if it has 10,000 miles on it. As for the front tires they seem to last a long time, usually 20,000 miles plus. I agree with your concern about 5 year old tires, I'd think about replacing them with car tires in the...

    Thank you for all the help!

    I agree too. So many are so generous with their knowledge of Spyders. I hate to even replace my 2012 RTS with a new model until Finless updates his ride.

    Is Honda copying the Spyder?

    My local Honda dealer says Honda does have their own two wheels in the front type trike in the works. It's based off their 1300 cc sport touring bike, and will tilt or lean. But those pics are of a rather old conversion kit that never really took off.

    I like My New F3T but She Needs Some Improvments!

    Wow, what are the odds? Apparently you drove 3 defective Spyders in a row. Of all the complaints I've read about on here the poor shifting of the electric shift machines isn't one of them.

    HONDA's ENTRY

    I was visiting with my BRP/Honda dealer earlier this summer. He says Honda at working on a 1,300 cc reverse trike leaner. He didn't offer up much info on what he knows, but he says it has a lot of the same specs as their ST 1300 sport touring bike.

    Front tire question

    I thought the Kenda tires were fine in the front until I replaced them with car tires. I never realized it but there is a considerable amount of sidewall flex with the Kenda tires. It truly does feel like it's "on rails" with car tires. I have Bridgestone Potenza's in front and a General...

    2013 vs 2014

    If money is no object , by all means go with the newest model. Your question gets asked all the time on here and most say go for the 2014 or newer, you won't be sorry you did. With that said, don't be confused, the 2013 and older models aren't bad machines, they just aren't as nice as the newer...
