• 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.

    Limp mode

    I know there are multiple threads on the subject, but I don’t have time to read all of them. I was riding my 2016 RT-S a while ago. As I was cornering, at a way safe speed, my bike started beeping, the VSS light came on, the engine light started blinking, and I went into Limp mode. I was only a...

    Fault code P0340

    My dad owns a 2017 RT Limited. While on a ride this past weekend, his engine light came on and his bike went into limp mode. I was able to access the fault code and it came up as P0340. I used the spyder codes app to check it out and I have no idea what it means. The dealer can’t look at it for...

    Foam Cannon

    I've been looking at a lot of you tube videos of people washing cars with a foam cannon. Just wondering, has anybody used one of these for their Spyder. They are hooked up to pressure washers, and I know you would have to be super careful. My black RT needs to be washed often, so anything that...

    Spyders on the Bayou

    I hear there is around 300 riders registered for the event. I'm looking forward to meeting those of you who are coming to my home town. This will be my first rally, and if the rain holds out, it should be a great time. Looks like 20% chance on Thursday, 50% chance on Friday, and 80% on Saturday...

    Unknown feature?

    So I went on an afternoon drive yesterday and the weirdest thing happened. Of course, I’m still a rookie and I don’t know if this is normal. After visiting my dad, I go to my bike to leave his house. Note, there is no key in the ignition. I put my key in the trunk lock and open it, and when I...

    Required tools

    I will be installing a set of Diamond R armrest this weekend, aka, the wife's first farkle. Looking under the seat, I noticed that the screws have a Torx head on them. What is the size of the Torx? Can you guys and gals recommend a starter set of tools I should buy. Mostly for the easier...

    BRP welcome pack

    My friend has a 2010 Spyder. He purchased it new. A few months after he got, BRP sent him a welcome package that included a patch, some literature, and some other items. Is this something they still do? I just purchased 2 months ago, and was wondering if I should be expecting something in the mail.

    Helmet cleaning

    Ok, this may sound weird. How do I clean the inside of my helmet? I rode Sunday. I stored my helmet in the side compartment. I took it out yesterday for a ride and it has an awful smell. My head does tend to sweat a lot with the helmet on. Just wondering if anybody else experienced this issue.

    Spyder wash

    Has anybody used this? Do you think it would be okay to wash my spyder with this? I have the triple black paint scheme, and was wandering if it would be good for the matte finishes as well as the other finishes. With the new bike, I guess I'm kind of paranoid and want to make sure I'm using the...

    Another question

    So, when riding at highway speeds, and you have to slow and make a turn off the highway, is it okay to downshift manually from 4th or 5th gear down to 1st or 2nd? If I let the bike downshift on it's own, it seems to shift kinda slow, and I find myself making a turn in 3rd gear. Also, I've read...

    My First Farkle....sort of :)

    So, a few days prior to purchasing my Spyder, my wife made me assure her that I would be satisfied with the bike as is, and that as soon as I drove it home I wouldn't want to immediately start adding all kinds of extras $$$. Of course I told her that the bike I wanted was fully loaded and I was...

    Shifting into first gear

    Another newbie question. After start up, when you put the bike in first gear, is it normal for the transmission to engage hard? I hope this is enough info. Once I'm rolling, the bike is really smooth shifting. Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance.

    Radio reception

    Hello all. Does anybody else get crappy radio reception. I have a new 2016 RT-S Special Series, and I can only get like 4 fm stations. I can't even get our local station. Any suggestions? Since I am a new owner (2 weeks), I may have a lot of questions in the coming weeks. Thanks in advance.

    Extwnded warranty

    Hello. I am new to the forum. I am on the verge of purchasing a brand new 2016 RT S Special Series. Is buying the extended warranty a must? This will be my first Spyder and I've read different opinions on this. Also, how reliable are these? I live in Houma, La., and there is not very many in...
