• 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.

    Another Dealer Drops the Spyder Line

    I was out at Moon Motorsports in Monticello MN this morning to pick up coolant for my Spyder. I noticed that there were no Spyders on the sales floor. I asked about the lack of Spyders and was told that the dealer had dropped the Spyder line and no longer services Spyders. I was also told it...

    Pedalbox Installed on 2015 RT - well worth the money!

    Just installed the Pedalbox. For me well worth the money. I did find a place to put the controller that is hidden away and has easy access.

    ACS one-way valve

    After seeing several posts about the one-way valve connected to the compressor that fails, I decided to replace mine today. With 36K, I thought I was probably due. My valve was not noticeably leaking, but it sure was corroded. I am glad I ordered the valve and replaced it. I was going to run...

    Shawn Smoak advises on parking brake lockup and cable adjustment

    Just watched Shawn Smoak's video that he posted TODAY where he explains how to adjust the parking brake cable after a failure to release situation. He describes what I have been preaching to avoid this situation--adjust the cable only to take the slack out of it. I have always believed the...

    Struggling...picked out an Indian Scout and now considering Ryker Rally

    I wanted a second bike to rip around on when not riding the RT. My Aero is underpowered and I need to find a replacement for it. Just about ready to put money down on an Indian Scout Icon, blue and white, and then decided to sit down on a 900 Ryker. Now I am not sure what to do. I really...

    I was out at Mies Outland in Watkins, MN today looking at Indian Scouts. The salesman said they were ending their John Deere line and walked me to the new, huge showroom area (under construction) for their new Can Am line which will include Spyders and Rykers. He said their techs will be...

    Spark Plug Change

    Looking toward my 28K service on my 2015 RT. I was wondering if anyone has changed spark plugs on a 1330 RT? Flat rate manual shows 1.5 hours for the spark plugs. I was thinking it was going to take quite a bit longer, but would like to get some idea of a realistic time. Gunner

    Upshifts with turn signal switch

    Recently, I have noticed that my 2015 RT SE6 was upshifting occasionally when I wasn't expecting it. I thought I had maybe been bumping the shift lever. So, over the past couple of days I have been paying very close attention to make sure I am not bumping the shift lever with my thumb causing...

    Hazing Headlights

    I have a 2015 RT. Both headlights lenses are hazing from the inside of the headlight. This is not moisture as the hazing is still on the inside of the headlight even after riding all day. Anyone else run into this problem? If so, what was the fix? Gunner

    Hitch for RT 219400432

    So on Saturday at my local dealer's open house, I ordered the hitch kit for my RT. I got a call today from the dealer informing me that the hitch kit was no longer available and there was no superseded number for the hitch kit. Anyone run into this lately or know if there is a new hitch for...

    RT Armrests--In hand!

    Yesterday, drove up to Caswell's Cycle in Mora, MN and picked up a set of the RT armrests for my 2015 RT. I had emailed Jamie last week about availability and he said that they had just gotten in four sets for the RT (219400839). Thought I would grab them sooner than later or before they...

    Did the dealers not get the spec-update?

    Last year I had the dealer replace my rear tire because it was convenient when I was at the dealer for something else. Today, after yesterday's long road trip, I decided to give my 2015 RT a thorough wash and check over. I thought, just for the heck of it, I am going to check the torque on the...

    Freedom Trailer Cost

    I am thinking about getting a trailer. I have looked at some after-market types but I really like that independent suspension on the Freedom trailer. Are the dealers cutting any slack on the msrp? Looks to be about $3100.00 which would put it above the after-markets. However, I am not...

    Very Cool with LaMonster Pipe

    I have been wanting to try the performance pipe for a while to try to reduce the heat radiating up from the primary muffler/cat. The heat was so bad on my 15 RT, the emissions sticker began to peel up off the top frame rail. My trouble was that I did not want a lot of extra noise. When I saw...

    Picked up a set off of Ebay for $107.00 shipped. I took them to a mom and pop tire shop to swap them out and they charged me a total of $16.00 for mounting and disposal. I balanced them myself. All I can say is wow! I put about 70 miles on them tonight, some of which was going through my...
