• 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.

    12 volt air compressor recommendations

    Yesterday I had the misfortune of running over a rock with the left front tire. It must have broken the tire bead seal. The tire went flat. Luckily I was near a pull-off view area(I was on the North Cascades highway). Found a gentleman with a generator and air compressor in the back of his...

    Ryde to Mt. Baker

    Rode to the Mt. Baker area yesterday. The picture of the lake is called Mirror Lake. When the wind is not blowing, there is reflection of Mt. Shuksan. It is one of the most photographed lakes in the country.

    Another 2014 RT Limited first riding report

    Took delivery of my 2014 RT Limited white color two days ago. Yesterday I went for a 150 mile ride with some freeway, twisties and secondary roads. To me the engine has a low growl sound, when shifting up through the gears it sounds like a Ferrari. This motor has lots of torque, it requires...

    2013 Rt Limited vs 2010 RT

    The handling has greatly improved for 2013. The machine stays almost level flat, not much body roll in the corners. Crosswinds do not move the Spyder around, the wind moves me more. The floorboards are a big improvement, lots of room to position your feet. The shifting seems to be quicker(SE5)...

    2013 RT Limited steering problem

    I just received a phone call from BRP about the steering on my 2013 RT Limited. Informing me that BRP engineering is working on a solution at their test track in Arizona. They will call every couple of days to keep me informed. This is very reassuring.

    Dongel questions

    The dongle comes with a built in battery, does the bike power the dongle? Or do you have to charge it? When going for a ride, does the dongle need to be turned on? And when finished with a ride does it need to be turned off?

    Two best modifications for my RT

    After a 5 day 1650 mile trip to Glacier Park in Montana, I am very happy that I installed a Corbin seat with the Lamonster cut. My sit bones never hurt the whole trip. No more pain in the butt! The other change is Elka shocks. It made the RT a much better handling machine. Rode lots of twisties...

    Elka shocks

    I installed new Elka shocks on my RT today. I went for a short test ride. My Spyder goes around curves and corners as if it is on rails. What a difference in handling! Hope to go for a longer ride soon, to better test out the new shocks. So far I am very happy with them.;)

    Corbin seat

    I finally got a chance to go for a ride with the new Corbin seat installed on my RT. I ordered the seat with the "Lamonster cut". I rode for a little over an hour and the seat feels very comfortable. With the factory seat my butt would start to hurt after an hour or so of riding. I installed the...

    RT-622 Trailer Tip

    Inside the trailer floor I put 2 Router Pads on top of the carpet. This keeps items in place, they do not slid around. The pads I installed are black and match the interior color. They are about 1/8" thick. Here is the link: http://www.grizzly.com/products/Router-Pad-Tan/G1530

    Resetting "Trip A"

    I am the proud owner of 2010 RT SE-5. I am having trouble resetting the "A" trip meter. I can get it reset to "0", the problem is getting it to restart. I use the "up" button to highlight the "pause"/"resume" and select the resume. It takes me several tries before the meter starts working again...
