• 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.

    2015 STL Oil consuption sanity check

    During a 4400 mile ride through the north central plains, my wife's ST went through 1-1/4 quarts of oil. (We were using Amsoil synthetic 10W40). Other posts in this forum say many times that 998 oil consumption is the nature of the beast, but is this excessive for lots of highway riding? Now...

It is 7 1/2 x 18' all aluminum and weighs only 1500lbs empty, has 3500lb torsion axles w/ electric brakes. Required 4 custom D-ring locations and everything is tied down at the wheels. 3 ramps...

    Stripped crankcase threads

    Well dummy-ass me, was changing the oil on my wife's ST, and stripped the threads on the crankcase at the drain bolt. I was trying to loosen a Dimple hex bolt, and lost the orientation of the ratchet being on my side and overtightened. A Major Duh. :banghead: Now the bolt head just spins and...

    Easiest way to change the zumo 660 mount to have a 590

    My wife got a zumo 590LM with her '15 STL. I have a 3yrold 660LM installed on my '15 RT-S. It's always been quirky but got the job done. Having both devices I have found the 660 is yesterday's technology BIG TIME by comparison. When we both are riding the same basecamp-generated routes, both...

    A beautiful day to be on a spyder in the Blue Ridge of Virginia

    I've been following this forum for quite awhile now, and it's great to be connected with everyone. A lot of good information and great people. I guess a forum is for posting problems and getting answers, and in my view there are far too many complaints about these machines. They're complicated...

    LED or equivalent fog lights for the ST/RS /GS family

    This is a call-out to all vendors that support the Spyder 99x family. Why should I buy yesterday's technology integrated halogen foglight kit from BRP for $409 (!) for my 15 STL when LEDs are so much better? and cheaper.....but nobody offers them?? We want better integrated lighting to...

    Took delivery of a new blue 2015 ST-LTD last week. Tried to hook a battery tender with a cigarette lighter connection to the 12v outlet in the frunk and no power. Changed the 5A fuse, tried both F6 (switched) and F7 (unswitched) for the fuse and nothing. Any ideas how to get to the wiring to...

    Considering a new ST Limited? Better get moving...

    Just wanted to share my thoughts on just completing my purchase of a new 2015 ST-LTD for my wife. Looking for a winter deal on a discontinued model? Forget it. I could only find about 20 or so new bikes 2014,2015 within a 250mi radius of DC metro. All but 2 dealers were selling their last...

    2015 RTS Service Manual

    Does anyone know where I can find online a service manual for a 2015 RTS? Searched ebay and elsewhere and found nothing. Found 2014 RT manuals available but don't know how close it matches to the 2015.
