• 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.

    My dash flashes "Suspension Fault" (failure). I rode to the dealer and they tell me that I need an "Air Dampener Kit". Not sure what that is? $772.43 quote. Ouch!

    Windshield control arm

    The windshield control arm that adjusts the height broke in half on my 2012 RTS. The dealer estimates $800-850 to replace. I'd like to find that part and do it myself. Anyone done this and have suggestions/advice? ie... where to buy the part and labor involved? TIA

    Surging, any ideas?

    I have a 2016 RT Limited, I recently rode from Asheville, NC to Ohio. While up there riding the back roads, the bike started surging. Not a constant, but seemed to increase after being ridden awhile. It concerned me enough that I took it into a dealer in Burbank (?) to see if they could...

    Will my 2012 Ultimate Seat Swap onto my new 2016 RT?

    I own 2012 RTS with an Ultimate seat on it... love it. Recently bought a 2016 RTL with stock seat. Will my old Ultimate seat interchange with the 2016? Anybody know? I can ask Ultimate or the dealer, just thought someone here might know? TIA :bowdown:

    Fuses?

    I'm having trouble with my parking brake not setting. Added fluid, no help. I'm curious if there's a fuse panel I could check just to see if it might be that simple, but I'll be darned if I know where a fuse box is? Manuel's no help... anybody know? TIA

    Car tire air pressure?

    I just replaced the front tires on my 2012RT with car tires. The pressure rating on the tire says up to 50#, I am running 30. The shop owner thought I should stick to CanAm recommendations for 18. That seems low to me as the tire is rated higher. It rides great at 30, I'm impressed with how...

    steering question

    I have a 2012 RTS. The steering seems hard to me, always has. I test rode a 2014 and was amazed at how easy it was to steer. Almost too easy! Very responsive! My question is this, is there a way to improve the steering on my 2012? I don't know what has changed between the years, but the...

    Front end Wobble (again)

    I know this seems to be an endless thread, but thought I'd post my experience here and see what others say? My 2012 RTS has always had a front end shimmy since bringing it home from the showroom. I thought that might be normal not having Spyder experience. Last month I had the 14k service...

    Shock Relocators and alignment problems?

    At Spyderfest, Pit Bull installed both the Elkas and Shock Relocators on my 2012 RTS. I'm noticing tire wear on the outside of the fronts, one more so than the other. I'm wondering if that's an alignment issue, caused by the relocators? Camber? Anybody else have this problem? :banghead:

    Question/Concern about buzz

    Let me start out by stating that I'm new to the Spyder, so I don't know what normal is.... Having said that, I now have about 1500 miles on my 2012 RTS. I've noticed that at about 65-70 mph, in 4th gear, there's a buzz or humm or vibration, that concerns me. I can slow down, speed up or shift...

    Stuck in Reverse!

    My new 2012 RTS SE5 has less than 400 miles on it and I'm having shifting problems already. I may have turned the key off after backing up, leaving the bike in Reverse. When I went to restart, I'm unable to shift back to N, therefore I can't start. I hope this isn't an omen of things to come...
