• 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.

    Opinion needed for Oil on 2016 RTS

    I have about 9 quarts of Amsoil 10W40 Synthetic oil left from my previous Spyder. Specs on the 2016 RT call for 5W40. What are your thoughts on using the 10W40 for the next oil change on the 2016 RTS? Will order the 5W40 on next order, but do not want to waste the very good Amsoil oil I have...

    Can you stand on Rivco CA020-WO Floorboards?

    Recently changed seats and now looking for a different floorboard set up. The floorboards I had made are very sturdy and support anyone that has stood on them without flexing. (Includes a 6'5" 280 lb. riding buddy) . My current floorboards do drop down 5 1/2 inches below the pegs, so give a...

    Engine Hesitation at Highway Speeds- Wondering if it the O2 sensor?

    Had not driven my 2008 too much this winter, but noticed some slight hesitation at highway speeds this Spring. It is more of a slight hesitation mostly when running at 60+. Replaced the Y gaskets last fall, so wondering if I strained the connection to the O2 sensor. I checked all of the...

    Has any one found good replacement Spark Plug Wires

    I have a bad plug wire on my 2008 RS SE5. Have checked resistance on both and found one was pretty bad causing lots of problems. OEM BRP spark plug wires are at least $40 or up and supposedly easy to damage. My local auto parts houses can sell me individual 8mm plug wires for about $5 or a...

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    My 2008 SE5 has started having some issues after warming up and starting up from a stop after running several miles. Starting from a stop, the engine 'stumbles' and then takes off and runs fine.

    Seal Floorboards Height & Comfort

    I like the looks and size of the Seal Floorboards, but am a little concerned about the foot height when installed. I just sold my cruiser and got my 2008 SE5 so am already adjusting to the different style of ride. I really did like the lower position of floorboards and pegs on the cruiser so...
