• 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.

    Oil Leak

    Forgot to mention that I pulled the air filter and no sign of oil. Also, when I did the oil change it was my first and I pulled the lower pan so I could see better.

    Oil Leak

    I have a 2014 RTL. Ever since my last oil change, about 6 or 7 mos. ago, after a ride I will get several drips of oil on the floor under the right side of the engine. After a few times I determined that the oil level was a little high and I drew off enough to get the level to the halfway mark...

    Mirror Problem-- Part Doux

    I finally got the body of the mirror apart. The unit containing the bulbs appears to be a sealed unit--not meant to be opened. There is a black silicon sealant around about half of the lens. I have pried it apart and dried it out. Will try to get some glue to seal it up. I suspect that the...

    Mirror Problem-- Part Doux

    Part one was posted under RT Touring. I decided RT shop talk might be more appropriate since it is a repair issue. The condensation has lasted for about a month. It has been in the sun for hours during a long ride last weekend. It will need to be sealed or the contacts inside will start to...

    Mirror Problem-- Part Doux

    The left mirror on my 2014 RTL has condensation building up under the clear lens on the front of it. I thought it would be covered under warranty but seems the bumper-to-bumper expired 3 mos. ago and the BEST warranty doesn't cover it. Plan B is to take it apart, dry it out and try to seal it...

    Mirror Problem

    Service manager said BRP often asked questions about bike and he needs it there to answer them. Those who said he was simply trying to get me out of the shop so he didn't have to get off his backside, I think you may be right

    Mirror Problem

    Those of you who had the mirror replaced under warranty, did the dealer require you to leave the bike? I drove to Mancuso's in Houston today, which is a 2 hour ride, and explained my issue. Service manager said they would open a case but I would have to leave the bike. I said,"for a mirror"...

    Mirror Problem

    I have a 14 RT Limited. The clear lens on the front of the left mirror has condensation in it. I took the mirror off and can't see a way to remove the lens. Anyone know what would cause this or how to take the mirror apart to dry it out and check the seals?

    Oil Change Issue

    I took the bottom plastic covers off while changing the oil. This was my first change and I wanted to see what I was doing. I am sure it is not leaking around drain plugs. The leak is under the left side so the air filter box theory sounds reasonable. Would this ruin the air filter if oil...

    Oil Change Issue

    A short while back I changed the oil on my 14 RT. I added back exactly the amount BRP calls for. Since that time when I park the bike over night, there will be a small oil spot on the driveway. I checked around both oil plugs--clean and dry. Checked around the oil filter, same deal. Can't...

    Air compressors/tire inflators

    Use your present compressor and overinflate a small amount. Use a good gauge to take it to where you want it.

    old versus new

    When I owned a Honda Valkyrie, I joined that forum. I heard a number of problems from owners of those bikes. Over 50k miles on two Valkyries and absolutely no problems. Bought a Gold Wing and joined that forum. Again complaints about problems with those. Absolutely loved that bike and never...

    Spyder vs other trikes

    I just returned from Branson,Mo. on my first trip on my '14 Spyder RT Limited. Have owned it for about a month. In our group there were 3 Harley trikes, 1 Honda trike and 3 motorcycles. While riding the roads there I was having trouble keeping up with the others in the curves. I'm sure part...

    Battery Location

    I found it. Another example of over thinking something. I was trying to figure out how to remove the zippered cover, when all I had to do was unzip it and take out the two screws and remove plastic cover.
