• 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.

    Update on outcome from 2013 RT Fire on 26 July 2014. ~Good news!

    Many of you may remember my post and situation just over a month ago with my 2013 RT fire when I posted about it > HERE <. I had a lot of ups and downs on the roller coaster of emotions after this happened (describing myself as "politely furious"), but as time progressed and I continued my...

    2013 RT Fire, 26 July 2014

    It only takes looking at my past posts to see I've had heat issues with my Spyder since the day I got it. I took it to the dealer, talked to BRP reps including Carlos, and spent thousands trying to fix the heat and fumes and had the recall and updates done. Well today my Spyder caught fire while...

    Sheepskin seat covers.

    Hey folks. I've been reading a lot about people using different seat covers and think I need to get a sheepskin one for myself. It's hot as blazes where I live and I can really work up a case of swamp crotch in a hurry. The stock seat is comfortable enough, I just need something to help mitigate...

    Aftermarket Air Filters

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZF7FG0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1A1NRMG4G04WU This looks interesting, but it's $64 for just one. Is there anyone here that can vouch for this filter or the K&N filter that will fit in the stock air box before I pull the trigger on it...

    Soft windshield?

    Well, after a few long rides I decided to wipe the bug guts off my Spyder. I sprayed on some Plexus then draped a wet towel over the windshield to make the bugs easier to remove after being baked on in the desert sun. I got almost all of the bugs off after except one sticky spot, so I very...

    Aftermarket air intakes?

    Ok, after a lot of reading here, I'm getting conflicting opinions from what I've seen. Can a few of you offer your opinions on the benefits and drawbacks of installing an aftermarket air intake? Things I'm particularly interested in improving on my 2013 RT are MPG (I get about 26.2 currently)...

    Windshields?

    Hi all. I have a question about the windshield for the 2013 RT. It comes with one that has two holes in the bottom of the shield in front of the bracket, like this: I'm pretty happy with the one I have now, but it's about to get really hot where I live and I'm wondering if switching to...

    Bump skid scratches?

    I have some scratches on the Spyderpops bump skid. Not on the bottom, but on the top where the dealership scratched it up a bit by trying to put it back on upside down. I didn't notice until several days later so I can't really expect them to do anything about it. Anyway, it's deep enough to...

    Need help finding a simple part.

    Hi folks. Wondering if someone could help me out here. I need a replacement for the blank flat switch cover that sits in the middle of the 5 that control the parking brake, grip heat, fog lights, ect. I've looked for over an hour at parts catalogs now and can't find it, even though I found the...

    Frunk release button?

    Does anyone use this button? I can't figure out how it's supposed to work for the life of me. It won't work when the engine is running. It won't work after I shut off the engine unless I wait some unknown amount of time, and even then I can't get it to work reliably. I've given up on using it...

    Time to cut the tupperware.

    So I have to do SOMETHING to relieve the right foot heat. I have a 2013 RT and I bought the lower block off plate from Spyderpops, but before I put it on and restrict the airflow I want to try cutting vent holes in the plastic directly behind the radiator fan. If that doesn't help then I'll add...

    Shifting to 1st gear...

    When I shift my 2013 RT SE5 into first gear, it makes a LOUD clunk noise, and the bike jerks slightly even with my foot firmly on the brake. It shifts up and down while on the move without any issues, but getting it into 1st gear feels weird. Also, I sometimes have to press the "+" shifter...

    Caught in the act! (with pic)

    SO... here we go... YET AGAIN. Last week I took my Spyder to a dealer to have them tighten the bolts on my BajaRon sway bar to get rid of loud clunking noises when I turn, to the tune of $42. Well yesterday the clunking came back. I put the Spyder up on a ramp so I could get underneath and see...

    Clunking sounds when turning?

    Here we go again... Does anyone else hear a loud clunking noise when turning the bike left or right? I can even re-create the noise my sitting on it without moving and rocking a little from side to side. I never noticed this before but I just had a BajaRon sway bar put on it by a professional...

    Parts flying off... WHAT?!?

    So I get all the way home from work today, get off my Spyder, and then notice the side panel is gone. Just missing. Awesome. Fortunately I only live about 8 miles from work, so I re-trace my route and find it on the side of the road, all scratched to hell. Now, the Spyder only has 1,500 miles on...

    Cutting the antenna?

    As the title says, I was wondering if it would be possible to cut down the OEM antenna to a more acceptable height. I don't listen to the radio at all, I only listen to Pandora through my phone or my MP3 player. I bought the Walmart shorty antenna using a stock number someone posted here before...

    Audio issues?

    I think I need some help with my audio. I have a 2013 RT SE5 and when I turn the volume all the way up from the normal screen it shows the volume "bar" indicator is being all the way up, but then when I press the mode button and it goes to the auxiliary input screen (which is how I listen to my...

    Kickstand / Bikestand?

    So I really like my new Spyder. The only thing I can't figure out is where the kickstand is. I understand the parking brake and that's a great idea, but I just can't figure out how to get the bikestand to come down like on the BMW bikes. When I press the brake really hard the floorboard flops...
