• 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.

    GPS Dealer Updates

    I have a 2011 Spyder RT Limited with a Garmin Zumo 660. The dealers listed on the Garmin are outdated. Has anyone gotten an update and where does it come from? Garmin or BRP? This seems critical if your traveling and need a dealer to make repairs. nojoke

    Tachometer Problem

    When the weather is warm75-85 degrees and bright sun is shining on the instrument panel when parked it occures. When I start the engine the big analog tach guage stays at 0. The digital tach reading is OK. It takes a long time before the big guage starts working as normal. This only occures in...

    Seal Floorboards

    Just wanted to say a few words on the Seal Floorboards for my 2011 RT Limited. Just got them on and what a difference. They allow foot movement for comfort and add a distinct nice look also. John Anderson sure came up with a "better mouse trap". Hats off John!! :clap: DMV Wheaton, Il.

    RT Limited Radio

    Today my radio on FM started acting up. It would play fine than have static. As I drove along it would again play fine than static again. AM seemed OK and Weather Channel was OK. Could the radio be defective or antenna or what. The spyder is 2 1/2 months old and only approx. 2400 miles. The...

    DuPage County

    It seems like there is not much chatter from Illinois Spyder owners compared to other states. I live in DuPage County and would be interested in getting together with like ryders. A ride to Bristol Tap for their famous 1/2 pound burgers would be a good start. Anybody interested please feel free...

    Kill Switch

    This is a basic question I'd like to know from you Spyder owners. When I had my Harley it was suggested that to turn off the engine you used the Kill Switch rather than key. If this is preferred with the Spyder operation I was never told this by the dealer on purchase. Obviously the kill switch...

    Sticky Seat

    Lately when I gas up I have a hard time getting my seat release to open. I push the key down and turn to gas tank icon. Sometimes it releases easily and others I have to repeat several times for a release. Does anyone know if there is an adjustment needed or lube some place? I'm afraid I'll...

    My new spyder RT Limited has 466 miles so far. Yesterday when I started it an orange symbol appeared and said "check engine". I checked the oil as per manual and it was OK. I restarted and it was normal so pulled out and went about 50 yards and the same engine symbol "check engine" came on. I...

    RT Limited

    I just got my 2011 RT Limited 3 days ago and have been riding to get the 600 miles for service B/4 a trip in early July. More seat time is certainly a learning curve from 2 wheels. Twice my dash has suddenly faded almost to black and only the speed is barely visible in a light gray strip...

    Locked In Reverse

    Picked up my new RT Limited yesterday and getting acclimated to the machine. Tonite after I backed into the garage I mistakenly shut the key off while it was in reverse gear. Now I can't paddle shift out of reverse and it won't start ( probably cause it is in reverse gear). Dealer is closed and...

    New Guy

    I just purchased a 2011 Spyder RT Limited and will take delivery in 7-10 days. Hate to leave my 07 Ultra Classic but realistically my confidence and ability on a 2 wheeler is diminishing ( will be 75 soon). Three wheels gives me new horizons more safely. Trying to learn the protacol for Spyders...
