• 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.

    Garmin nüvi 2797LMT and Sena 20s?

    Does anyone know if the Garmin 2797LMT will pair with a Sena 20s AND a Samsung galaxy Note 4 phone? Will it pair with either (I am pretty sure it will pair with the Samsung, but not sure about the Sena 20s), and will it pair with BOTH at the same time? Ideally, I'd like to be able to make/get...

    Close up Pics/Video of removing the connectors off the back of the temp/fuel gauges?

    Folks, does anyone have any close up pics of how to get the black 3-wire connector off the back of the gauges? Seems like it's on pretty tight. Also, any quick graphic showing WHICH wires to use to wire up a dual-usb and a 12V outlet? Any "best practice" for tapping into the existing wires...

    12v replacing gauge

    Folks, I'm thinking that I will replace my gauges on my 2014 rt-s with a dual usb and also a 12v cig plug. Question -- is the gauge power be sufficient to power a typical Garmin gps directly using the cig plug or do I need to run power down to the battery? The other would be to charge my...

    Buzzing in front fender.

    I happened to hit one of the fenders with my leg in the garage and I heard a buzzing noise. Only on the one side. After poking around it looks like the rear red reflector is what's making the noise. Is there an easy way to pop this out so I can run a bead of silicone under it? I'd rather not...

    Lamonster nbv vs fbb highway pegs?

    Folks, can someone detail the difference between the lamonster nbv vs the fbb highway pegs? This would be for a 2014 rt-s. It looks like the fbb mounts only to the factory floorboards and the nbv mounts somehow to the frame of the bike? How different are the foot positions between the two...

    Advice on servicing

    Folks, I will wind up having only about 1700 miles on my Rt-S before she goes in for hibernation. Just curious if I should have the 3000 mile service done before putting it up for the winter, get it done first thing in the spring before the season, or just wait until 3k? I don't really like...

    200mph?

    Folks, someone was looking over my Spyder today and asked how fast it goes "since the speedometer goes to 200 mph". I never really noticed the top reading on the speedo. Anyone know why they picked such a ridiculous top speed on the speedo? I don't think any of these models could do 200mph...

    Etiquette question?

    Folks, when you are going to park near other bikes that are 90degrees to the curb, with the Spyder, do you park like the bikes (90 degrees) or parallel to the road? Do you back in like the bikes?

    Vibrations at 70-80MPH

    Well, passed the 300 mile "break in", so decided to hit the interstate to see how the RT-S handles at 65+ MPH. I think I hit the belt vibrations that others have mentioned -- about 70-75, all good unless I hit it to accelerate -- then a very rough vibration, but seems to only be during the...

    Neck support?

    Folks, my wife has an old neck injury (disc) and she has said that when I get the RT-S up to about 60-65, the wind/vibration starts to hurt her neck a bit from the helmet movement. Does anyone know of any good neck support systems that can help out (I know there are systems for dirt bikes, but...

    Newbie question about lights?

    Folks, I've lit up everything I can find on the bike, and yet ONE of the circles in the headlights doesn't appear to do anything. I've hopefully attached a picture of what I am talking about. Any ideas here??? Do I need to get this back to the dealer to see why this isn't lighting? Also what...

    Analog vs digital speedometer delta?

    I have seen a few mph difference between the digital and analog speedo with the digital being a few mph higher. I noticed that at about 63-64 on the digital,the analog showed 60. Any way to reduce them and/or any way to know which is actually the correct speed w/o matching against a car or a...

    'E' in the gear indicator?

    Folks I have a brand new 2014 rt-s se6, and while riding right after I shift (usually from 4th to 5th or 5th to 6th gear), I have sometimes seen the 'E' indicator in the display before it turns into the actual gear number. No affect on the shift at all, just a display thing. Is this a normal...

    A couple of Questions from a newbie about the SE6 and shifting...

    OK folks, I have a couple of questions since I just picked up my 2014 RT-S SE6 yesterday. First, when shifting from 1st or neutral to reverse (and back from reverse to first) it really "clunks" going into gear -- is that normal? Second, the auto-downshift is VERY noticeable -- not like when a...

    I ALSO joined the 1330 club AND the Cognac club....

    Just picked up my 2014 RT-S SE6. Had the dealer install the bumpskid w/LEDs (those lights are REALLY bright, even in full sun). I have the KOTT grills (painted black) and a Custom Dynamics Magic Strobes Brake Modulator to install (myself), but I'll be riding a bit before I do those. My wife...

    Lane Positions and Riding the RT-S?

    Folks, I'm just curious -- since the Spyder is much wider than a regular 2-wheeler, does the Left/Center/Right lane position even matter with an RT? Do you use different parts of the lane when riding? Can you still do outside-inside-outside on turns??? Also, if you go over stuff like...

    Kist of 2014 issues?

    Folks, I had read a while ago a comprehensive listing of the possible issues with the 2014 RT's, but I can't seem to find that thread anymore via search. I just placed an order for a 2014 rt-s, and I just want to make sure (once I get the VIN) that they either DON'T apply to what I get, or that...
