• 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.

    Utopia backrest installation

    Has anyone had a problem with installing a Utopia backrest on your F3? I watched the video and am a little concerned that I might not be able to make the seat look as good as it did before the install. Any tips would be appreciated.

    GPS Attachment

    My husband has a new F3T and it is a beauty. He wants to attach his TomTom motorcycle GPS to the bike but is at a loss as to the best way to proceed. If you have attached a GPS to your F3 would you please post a picture of your GPS on the bike and/or the mounting? Thanks.

    Prodigal Returns

    Hi all, I owned a 2012 RTS for over two years and I enjoyed the ride. I loved the storage capacity. I loved just about everything about the machine, except the fact that it was not reliable. So many limp modes, so many error codes, so much time in the shop. I became completely frustrated...

    Questions, Questions!

    My husband and I just returned from a 2000 mile trip. I turned over 24,000 miles on my '12 RT. My husband does most of the maintenance on my bike and has noticed that the bike seems to use a bit of oil. He has to add about a quart and a half every 3000 miles. I mentioned this to the dealer...

    Battery Woes!

    After 20,700 miles my battery failed this morning. I have a 2012 RT. Is that a usual life span for the battery? I keep it on a tender in the winter. Never had any problems before. I used the lawn mower to boost it off and rode it the rest of the day without problem BUT I will replace the...

    Spyder App

    Hi guys! I have searched the threads for the name of the Spyder app one of our members invented and can not find it. Can someone please remind me of the name of the app? Thanks.

    Spring Fever!

    Snow is still on the ground here in eastern Kentucky but I am ready to ride. I can not wait to hit the road. Anywhere sounds good! I know I'm not the only one. :D Our first long ride this year will be the Blue Ridge Parkway from North to South. Where will you be heading? What rides have...

    Trade Up??

    I am SO tempted to trade my 2012 RT for a new one. It is a good bike in fine condition. I have highway bars, a back rest, racing stripes and a skid plate (which I love the looks of). But the idea of better gas mileage and more power is nearly irresistible! I would love some ideas on what you...

    Please Remind Me!

    Hi everyone, Last year I bought a pair of velcro-on padded grips for my Spyder. They were great. I got them from a company advertising on this site but I can't remember the name of the company. I wore out the left grip and need to replace them. Does anyone remember which company was...

    Time For New Tires!

    I took my RT to the dealer yesterday and left it to have a new set of tires put on the bike. I have a little over 15,500 miles on the tires/bike. The back tire could have gone a few more miles but the fronts were worn so much I could feel it when was riding. $495.00 for 3 new tires...

    Replacement Panel

    Last year BRP sent out vouchers so we could upgrade/change a panel on the bike to have easier access to check the oil. Does anyone have a picture of one of those new panels installed? Does it look any different from the older panel?

    RT Blues

    Well my RT has some serious problems. Last month it was in the shop (causing a major disruption of our vacation) and the ECM (?) was replaced, the main computer component. This morning when I tried to ride to work the same problems occurred: DPS fault code, ABS fault code and Limp Mode in...

    Whine, Sniffle, Cry!

    Hubby and I loaded up this morning for a week's riding ending with the Maggie Valley owner's event and Lamont's BBQ, if it is still on. Not half a mile from our house the Spyder threw codes: DPS, ABS, Limp Mode and began to shake like the engine is cutting out. Not good. We are preparing to...

    Nanny Newbie!

    While riding today the Nanny activated for a couple of seconds. I was navigating a right hand curve that dipped down and around. I was going fast but not out of control. I didn't feel a wheel lift (do you feel a wheel lift?). I'm not sure why it happened. I was certainly surprised and I...

    summerdawn's Mods

    My last bike was a Harley and I modified it heavily. It was fun. When I bought the Spyder (2012 RTS) I was sure I would just let it be. Well..... it hasn't worked out that way! :opps: So far I have added: - a Utopia backrest -Spyderpop's missing belt guard -Spyderpop's bump/skid...

    Husband complaining!

    I will soon turn over 5000 miles on my RT. I won't say I have mastered the machine but I'm very comfortable with it and have ridden it in all conditions. My husband complains that I tend to ride faster now than I did on my Harley. He claims I'm going at least 10 mph faster on smaller roads...

    What are you lovin'??

    I've had my Spyder about 2 months and have found plenty to love. I love the way it corners, the attention it gets and so much more. What do you love about your Spyder?

    Inaugural RT ride!

    Hubby and I just returned from our first long ride (5 days) since I bought the RT. I now have plenty of experience in the twisties and on the interstate and I really enjoyed the Spyder. It's not the same as the Harley I traded for it but it is equally as fun! And it is more practical, which I...
