• 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.

    What parts & oil needed for Changing oil in 2012 RTL semi-auto?

    Basically, I'm looking for a DIY oil change sticky or something like that. I'm not having much luck finding one. I have seen a good "how to" video on YouTube before, and I'm sure I can find it again. I'm looking for additional information, such as parts I will need, where to get them for a...

    Tried to start the old 2012 RTL today

    After three weeks of bad weather, it started right up! These are quality machines. One of the best vehicles I have owned. Only 5,500 miles, too. I need room in the garage, so I will probably sell it this spring. I'm going to miss it for sure.

    Using thumb shifter - my solution to a reach issue.

    I'd rather shift with my foot, but it is what it is. My thumb is double jointed and it was not comfortable to use the thumb shifter for me. Until now. I used to reach my thumb down to the area where I put the "X". Now I keep my thumb close to the grip and push on the top of the paddle, where...

    OEM(?) F3 windshield - is this adjustable or not?

    I'm assuming this is the OEM windshield. Please let me know if it is not. This is a 2017 F3 and it is pretty basic (no saddle bags or rear trunk). It is definitely too low for me (I am looking at buying this vehicle). I'm just wondering if the windshield is adjustable at all. It looks like...

    2012 RTL - how long before you plug in the battery tender?

    I'm going to be out of town for a week. Would you plug it in before you go? I have been riding regularly up until now.

    Routing USB power out of rear trunk 2012 RTL

    I have USB power inside the trunk, just using an adapter. Is anyone using USB power outside the trunk? How did you get the cable outside? I'd prefer to avoid cutting if I can help it.

    My Best NAV/Audio solution for 2012 RTL

    YMMV, of course, but... First, the mount. I did not receive the factory nav unit with my Spyder. That is actually fine with me; I would prefer to use Google maps on my phone anyway. I bought this: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001414151204.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.0.0.2098f19cJpW9H4 I...

    Worth it to upgrade 2012 RTL?

    I just bought my current one, and I know I will be riding it for a bit, but I am really loving it and I know I will be wanting a newer one before too long. So, if some of you have ridden or owned both, please talk me into it or out of it. Why is it worth it to get a late model year RT, or are...

    How many hours to remove the plastic? 2012 RT Limited

    I have owned several motorcycles with plastic body panels, including a Honda Pacific Coast, so I am very familiar with removing plastic from a motorcycle. Just so you know that I'm not starting as a complete newbie. Although I'm sure this one is quite different. :D I'm hoping someone who...

    2012 RTL Front Shock Adjustment

    I'm about to begin experimenting with the preload adjustment. Where are you keeping yours set, or do you ever adjust it? The manual says I need to jack it up to adjust the shocks so I guess I will do that. Mine appear to be in the middle, but I want to firm it up and just see the impact on...

    Moisture behind temperature gauge glass

    I couldn't find anything on this topic using the search feature. Does anyone have experience with these gauges? They are the separate gauges that are optional out on the side. The gauge still works.
