• 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.

    “Survey Says ...”

    Ours is used for: recreation. long distance touring(5-6k mi. trips) day rides(will ride 250-300mi. just to go to dinner) overnighters and multiple day trips. Mac:thumbup: P.S. Don't believe in hauling it anywhere, if it still "runs"!

    Aspen Classic mods 1

    Really nice looking and should be pretty comfortable to camp in. If I can ask, how much is the total weight of the empty trailer itself? Mac:doorag:

    What is the best way to by-pass the frunk lock?

    Sooooo the other day while I was in the garage putting my BRP headset from an old helmet into a new helmet, I got to thinking "what-if" my frunk won't open or my seat either, someday?? I've been reading these threads and decided, even though I have had no issues with either, I made a cable-pull...

    CB RADIO/ BLUETOOTH HELP.

    Don't quote me on this, but no factory CB for the newer models and if BRP did have one, you would have to have a "wired" headset(cord running from helmet(s) to bike). I tried that route on our '14 RTL and got laughed at!. Macnojoke

    new gas cap

    :agree: Mike, when the cap on our RTL went bad(couldn't remove it without gripping it with both hands) and the dealer d/n have a replacement. We were leaving on a trip to Ca. and I d/n want to fight with it on the road, I noticed I had an old Jeep locking gas cap on the shelf in the garage and...

    New BRP patents

    What he said and I'm sure with that additional tech., it will push a fully loaded Spyder to close to 40K, so they can recoup the tooling and engineering costs.:dontknow:Mac:doorag:

    Spyder caught fire today

    Figured something was up. Just thought it looked weird to flip-flop between what caught fire and then show a new model. Bad press in my opinion. Mac:doorag:

    Oil Sprayed down Side Of Spyder RT, What Could Cause This?

    I understand what you are saying Ron and it makes total sense, I do the engine warm-up in the garage and that seems to suffice. But I will check it after we/I get home after the 1st. ride and the level at max is just below the top "bubble" on the stick. That's why in my earlier post to you I...

    Oil Sprayed down Side Of Spyder RT, What Could Cause This?

    I do the "warm" check after I change the oil/filter. After that, if I feel like I've run the bike hard, I will check it at the end of the day or when I'm at the hotel parking lot prior to putting the cover on it for the night, I check it. Like Mike said, "If I don't see a puddle of oil under the...

    Spyder caught fire today

    Problem I see is that it was supposedly a 2010 RT, but the video keeps flashing a newer F3 which leads the public to believe that the Newer Spyder's wil leave you "burning in the ditch". I feel somebody is not happy with their ride and are editing this old video for their own agenda. Macnojoke

    Oil Sprayed down Side Of Spyder RT, What Could Cause This?

    Ron, I will keep this in mind the next time I do an oil change. Even with 6qts. it shows half way between the two "bubbles"on the stick. Maybe I've got an odd-ball stick(oh I can't wait for the comments on this one!!). Anyway thanks for pointing this out but like I've said, I've had no issues...

    Torq. spec. of front mainshaft pulley bolt??

    I took the easy way out. I loosened the belt, pulled the panels, and just felt for end play and if I could "wiggle" it. All was tight and no evidence of rusty powder/dust on the pulley/sprocket. I would have removed and replaced it if I had a new bolt and even thought about removing it and...

    Medal of Honor awarded today

    I just hope that Air Force TSGT Combat Controller got posthumously awarded his medal also. Because he stayed in the fight after he regained consciousness but was later killed. Haven't heard any more about it. Mac:thumbup:

    Oil Sprayed down Side Of Spyder RT, What Could Cause This?

    My '14 always gets 6qts. when I change the filter and I have NEVER had oil blow out all over the place. I rev the heck out of it sometimes when I'm passing and when I've been pulling my trailer, still no oil anywhere and never had to add any even coming off a 5K mile trip thru western desert...
