• 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.

    To Oil Change or Not To Oil Change

    Hi Everyone, Hope that it's been a good riding year for all. I will be storing my 2010 RT-S in about a month. I'm just about at 5000 miles since my last oil change (which is normally how long I go). I'm looking for some feedback on storing the trike. Should I: 1. Change the oil now, ride...

    Please Help Me Praise A Good Deed

    Thought I'd share my story about a Good Samaritan on a recent motorcycle trip and see if anyone is inclined to help me praise his good deed. A couple of weeks ago, I did a road trip with a group of Harley riders that I know. The very first day out, one of the guys hit uneven pavement and...

    Dragon Slain!!!

    I even kept up with or out cornered the Harley's I was with. That cut down on some of the lip I was getting.

    iPod Integration Cable

    I just got an iPod integration cable for the trunk (thanks Stevedfive). Looks like there isn't enough power to properly charge an iPad. The iPad reads "not charging" though a Google search says that when it's in sleep mode, it is actually getting a slow charge. So here is my question. Does the...

    Airhawk R vs. Medium Cruiser

    Has anyone ever compared these two? I am having some discomfort with my "man parts" on longer trips. I just bought the Airhawk Medium Cruiser for my RT-S and it has helped, but I'm wondering if the the Airhawk R would be even better.

    iPhone/iPod Integration Cable

    I bought my 2010 RT-S used and it didn't come with the integration cable for the trunk. Is there a good place to purchase one besides the dealer? Thanks!

    Almost Hit A Deer

    I almost hit a big deer on Saturday. I was doing 70 down a highway and didn't see it until it was on the median at full gallop. My buddy, who was behind me. said it came down over a hill and leaped over the two oncoming lanes. It was coming right at me, so I hit my brakes and swerved right to...

    Checking The Oil For Real

    I know that you're supposed to warm the engine up before checking the oil, but I've seen different input on when to pull the dipstick. Some people have said to check it within 30 seconds; others have said to wait 30-60 seconds. As you can imagine, these give two different results. So, for...

    Resetting Shifter On SE5

    My shifting has been a little rough in the early gears. Seems to be getting worse. I'll check the oil, though I just had an oil change recently and it was shifting fine. A tech at one of the dealers said that they can reset the shifting points, essentially clear it out and have the computer...

    Moderately Priced Rain Gear

    I'm doing a lengthy trip in August with some friends who are more serious riders than I. They told me that they ride rain or shine, so I'm looking for some decent rain gear. Any suggestions or advice? As always, I appreciate the feedback.

    Spyderpops Radiator Blockoff Plate - I Have Concerns

    I installed the radiator blockoff plate yesterday on my 2010 RTS. The plastic panel underneath that they tell you to remove seems worrisome. It leaves quite a few components exposed, including some wiring. I'm interested to hear what others have done when installing the blockoff.

    1st to 2nd Gear

    My shift from 1st to 2nd isn't as smooth as the rest. In fact, there is a slight clunk. Is this common? Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks in advance!

    Antenna Is Gone

    After a highway run on my 2010, I stopped to find that my antenna is missing. Searching the forum, it appears that this is a common problem and was redesigned on the 2012 models. Why wasn't there a recall or at least a notification? I would have checked it and used Lock-Tite if I had known.

    Shake

    I'm noticing some shake in my 2010 RT at around 55 mph. Is it common for the handlebars to do that at higher speeds?

    Gas Tank - I'm Confused

    I let the gas tank go as empty as possible on my 2010 RTS SE (gas light was on for several minutes before I filled up). When I filled the tank to the point that gas was backing up out of the fill hole (I could see that the gas was all the way to the top), I had put less than 5 gallons in a tank...

    Hello! New member with highway peg question.

    Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking forward to learning more about the Spyder community. I bought a 2010 RT-S a few months ago and I'll be doing a fairly lengthy trip with some friends in August. I've seen several recommended highway pegs on the forums. I'm thinking about...
