• 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.

    Shifting, semi-automatic

    I just did an oil change for the year on my 2010 RT with the semi-automatic. Changed both the oil filter and the transmission filter, started it up and have no leaks. I let it warm up, put it in reverse, backed out of the drive and shifted into 1st. Went through 1st and 2nd but when I tried...

    Plugs, etc...

    I have a 2010 RT-S with the v-twin that has a little over 17,000 miles on it. I've never replaced the plugs or the wires but I'm thinking it's about time to do so just out of caution. It still runs great, always starts (I hope I'm not jinxing myself) so I've just not bothered. Thoughts on...

    Setting favorites on radio....

    OK, I've played with this thing enough and need some advice on how to set "favorites" on the radio on my 2010 RT. When I bought it there were two stations preset and I've tried to add another but I'm having no luck. Some expert step by step if someone would be so kind. Thanks!

    The Nanny....?

    I changed my oil and filters today and all went well...4.5 qts looks pretty precise to me. But, here's my question. I jacked up the trike and when I let it down one side was lower than the other. All well and good right? So when I start up the limp mode is on as is the flashing engine light...

    Tires...the never ending story.

    I had my Spyder inspected yesterday for the annual state "ripoff" and the VeeRubber Arachnid rear tire installed by my dealer. In the conversation he said that he had been approached by the rep for VeeRubber to carry their tires which he had not yet done. He does carry the Kenda brand and as...

    Checking oil

    Folks, I know it's been said numerous times but I'm going to say it again...checking the oil level on a 998 is one of the most frustrating parts of owning a Spyder. I've put about a couple of hundred miles on since last check so I check the oil after the engine's at operating temp...can't see...

    Spyder sightings/NC

    I was riding yesterday on US highway 74 headed east between Kings Mountain and Gastonia and spied a Spyder headed west with a group of three other bikes..not Spyders. Also a RT headed south on the beltway of 485 between Johns Street in Matthews and Providence Road.

    2015 F-3 demo ride

    I just took the demo ride today on the 2015,1330 Can Am, F-3...wow! I have a 2010 RT but this F-3 is like a Z06 Corvette compared to a Cadillac CTS. The handling, shift points, torque, transmission and engine are all so much more refined than my RT. The difference in the torque once you shift...

    Gas smell, loading up..

    Any feedback is appreciated. I'm a new owner and on an otherwise perfect, used 2010 RT SE5, I am getting the smell of gasoline and some loading up when I roll onto the throttle. Is this a common occurrence with this engine? I've looked for obvious leaks and there are none.
