• 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.

    Painted Dash

    I painted my dash to match the body color. I think it really sets it off. Big shout out to Purple Guy for the inspiration and the help in getting this done. Dan

    Getting Started

    I installed the KOTT grilles from Spyderpops yesterday. I really like the look. Big shout out to Spyderpops. The grilles are high quality and the shipping was really fast. Now, I need to get the bumpskid and BajaRon sway bar. I would have my dealer install those, as I have no way of lifting...

    Most annoying ? about your Spyder

    By far, the most annoying question I get is "How much does it cost". It infuriates me that people can be that rude. Number 2 is "What kind of gas mileage does it get". Has anyone ever bought a Spyder for the gas mileage?

    Well, it finally happened

    I bought my 2013 RT-S in August of last year. I was very happy with my purchase as both my wife and I love it. We have logged almost 14,000 miles. When the 14 RTs came out, I kept reading about how great they were. Every time I went to my dealer for service, I kept putting off test riding a...

    Kumho Ecsta rear tire pressure

    I'm having a Kumho rear tire installed on Wednesday. BRP recommends 28 psi for the stock rear. Was wondering if anyone else that has this tire runs it at 28 since it is the same size as OEM, or does another psi work better with the Kumho?

    BRP clothing

    Was wondering if anyone out there has the "Active Base Layer" shown on page 28 of the BRP catalog. Does it really do as advertised and keep you warm in cool weather, and cool in warm weather? If not, can anyone recommend a good base layer that would do that?

    Spyder ownership

    I have noticed a trend on here that many of you trade in your Spyders after 2 or 3 years. Is it just because you want a new one, high mileage, or other issues? Also, does anyone have one with over 50,000 miles? What is the highest known mileage on a Spyder? I'm just curious as to how long I can...

    iPod issue

    My wife and I went on a 225 mile ride today. We used the iPod hooked up in the trunk the whole time. We stopped twice for gas and once to eat, and the iPod continued to work when we resumed. The problem is, when we got back to our town, we stopped for about 10 minutes to stretch our legs. When I...

    14,000 mile service

    When I was in for last service, my dealer informed me that the 14,000 mile service would take 6 hrs. That would be $480 just for labor. I understand that the bulk of this is for valve inspection and adjustment. Has anyone had this done? Is it absolutely necessary? I'm not a mechanic and I want...

    4,600 mile service

    Just had my 4,600 mile service done today. It was $348. Is that pretty common? It took over 4 hrs, but it shows they only charged me for 3 hrs labor.

    Poker Run

    My wife and I went on our first poker run today. It was 100 miles with 7 stops. It was 98% Harleys plus 1 Victory and our Spyder. I expected it to be mostly HD as they are very popular around here. The couple we were going to ride with had a family emergency and we didn't know anyone else...

    Helmets

    I was at my dealer on Saturday to get my recall done on my RT-S. This dealer is primarily HD but they also have Can-Am and Suzuki. They were having a memorial ride for a club member. It was all HD and 1 Ninja. I noticed that not one single HD rider was wearing a helmet. It has been my experience...

    Sharing The Road

    My wife and I were traveling north on highway 218/27 Sunday and were nearly run off the road by a truck driver. Normally, I try to avoid trucks but I also like to see what's in front of me. (Difficult to see around a truck) He was in the right lane and I wanted to pass, but then he changed to...

    Bought a new 2013 RT-S

    Bought it on August 24, and just turned over 1,000 miles today. I love it! My wife loves it! That quantum blue metallic sure does look good. Looking forward to logging many more miles.
