• 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.

    Does anyone still make a Luggage rack for RS Spyders?

    Does anyone still make a luggage rack for RS Spyders? There used to be an aftermarket rack that slid into a rectangular frame made by a sponsor here, but it’s been so long… Thank you in advance.

    Do you change the way you ride with a trailer attached? For safety??

    I was wondering if having a trailer attached to your Spyder forces you to change way you ride, for safety? Like when I have a passenger, I feel like I have to turn much slower than I normally do.

    What Trailer hitch and wiring harness are you using for your RS Spyder?

    Hello folks. I’m looking to buy a Freedom Trailer for an RS, and I was wondering which hitch people been using? Price ranges from $75 -$588 for BRP's model for an ST, which I would think will fit an RS. BRP's version comes with a harness, but I don’t know if it’s worth buying a 10 year old ‘new’...

    Oh my... lower psi in car tires on Spyder's really works!

    I've been on here a long time but I could not bring myself to use lower (to me) psi's for car tires on my Spyder, mostly because under-inflation is a cardinal sin in my job; but I finally went to a lower psi and my.... it works! I went to 14 in front and 18 in rear with all car tires (name left...

    Does a leaky Elka rear shock have to be shipped to them?

    it looks like my problematic elka has leaked out and I am on just springs after 6000 miles/1 1/2 year. I ordered it directly from elka with my specs but was bottoming out right out of the box and didn't function well from the start even after adjusting it and their tech wasn't much of a help...

    Code P0127 - is it just too hot?

    It’s been hot hot in Vegas, 110 and got code 0127, air too hot out of exhaust manifold. Ambient temp reading on spyder was 125. Do you think it’s simply too hot or have possible issue? Coolant temp fluctuate up to 6 bars, sometimes brief 7 then comes back down to 4. It takes 10-15 minutes of...

    Power commander V fuel map

    I felt pc V really didn’t add much performance and I finally got around to opening fuel map and found there wasn’t much modifications to fuel map. Dynojet’s explanation was that map is just a stock map and you need to take the spyder to a dyno shop or use autotune to build a map. The map...

    Front end wobble

    2015 RS with vredestein tires at 20lb and fox 1.5 shock with adjustable rebound. It wobbles a bit at hard braking and hard acceleration. Well, wobble at hard braking and loose at hard acceleration would be more accurate. Laser alignment was done and rotor seemed ok when I checked while...

    LED option for RS

    Any vendors still carry them? I’m not seeing any from sponsors here nor other known vendors. I’ve got a set of generic fanless led but it just won’t lock in the headlight projector with adapter on 2015 RS. All led h7 I’ve seen have round body so factory clip doesn’t work like with HID bulbs. I...

    Buzzing noise after shut down

    I had this buzzing noise after shut down for sometime and I thought it was hid lights but it’s still there even after hid is removed. It is there for long time after shut down, like a hour or two but stops immediately when battery is disconnected. Any idea? Hard to tell exactly where it’s...

    I wanted to install spyderpops BRT(brake, running, turn) led lights but I can not get it without the strobing brake lights. Is there another option from different vendors? Spyderpop says it’s embedded in the lights and can’t em without it. Just not a fan of strobing brake lights. Thank you in...

    Bleeding/flushing brake fluid.

    So I’m about to take on my first bleeding of brake fluid on 15 RS. From what I gathered so far I need one-man kit or vacuum canister to do it by myself. I’m leaning toward one-man kit bottle with one way valve so I can attach the hose to bleeding nipple and pump the brake pedal without help...
