• 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.

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    Nope, just lift the seat up, line up the bracket, with the holes(once you see it in place, you'll know), and put the 4 bolts in and tighten. Pop the D shaped cover off of the top side of the seat, slide the backrest down until you feel it lock in place. After that, go ride !!

    Need the under-seat bracket for 2016 RT back rest - anyone? Or a source?

    If you are willing to wait until tomorrow, I will be happy to look on the oem seat I have in a box in my now frozen garage. I swapped the oem seat and backrest for a different seat. I'm happy with the new seat, and will not need the bracket for it. I'll be back in the morning, and will let you...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    Maybe I missed the explanation in the earlier parts of this thread, but why aren't the 2014 RTs included?? Not that I want to be left out of the party, but what changed between the early 2014 models and the rest of the afflicted ones?? Curious minds, and all of that!!

    Anyone replaced a Water Pump Module? How hard?

    I bought the Spyder used from the dealer in 2016. It had 17K miles on it. Was told that the rear tire needed to be changed, and routine maintenance had to be performed before I could take it home. Never found out what that maintenance was, so since I have owned this Spyder, the coolant hasn't...

    Anyone replaced a Water Pump Module? How hard?

    After thanking those who chimed in on my post, telling me to take it to the dealer, I had decided to do just that. But something just wasn't right. I couldn't put my finger on it, I was second guessing myself. Had I checked this, or that? So I went out again to the cold garage, to look again...

    Anyone replaced a Water Pump Module? How hard?

    Thanks to all who chimed in. It wasn't going to take much arm twisting to get me to take it to the dealer. I had a small hope that maybe it wouldn't be as difficult as it looked. I'm all about doing it myself, but some things are better left to the pros!

    Anyone replaced a Water Pump Module? How hard?

    Has anyone out replaced a water pump module on a 1330 engine?? Got my 2014 RTL out after its long winter sleep. Engine started right up, but within 5 minutes the temp gauge was at half way up. After a couple more minutes, the cooling fans kicked in, temp gauge pegged at the top. Turned off...

    Hate to be a party pooper but...

    Wife was in the driveway one afternoon as I was putting my 1985 Venture away coming home from work. She told me that after all the years we had been together, she really wanted to start going on rides with me. I jokingly said "Well, we will have to buy a different motorcycle then." "OK" she...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2014 RTL I get the DESS error every once in awhile. I'll go a couple of months without one, then it'll pop up two or three days in a row. No rhyme or reason at all. Most of the time when it hits, I'll just turn off the key, and quickly turn it back on. Wet or dry, hot or cold, it doesn't...

    Comfort Seat for 2014 RT-S

    Got it from the local dealer. Could have saved $10 and bought it online, but I've never had any problems with the dealer, so what the heck. $601.34 with tax, and I had to go pick it up. Ordered it on Saturday, got it today. Not bad! Now I've got to find a backrest!

    Comfort Seat for 2014 RT-S

    Literally just finished installing my new BRP comfort seat on my 2014 RTL. Got the wife on the back, and she says she doesn't see a difference as far as the available room. I, on the other hand, immediately noticed a huge difference from old to new!! Can't wait to get out on the road tomorrow...

    After the cold weather from last week finally went away this weekend, today was warm enough to get out and ride for a bit! It was 53 degrees here today, all the snow has melted away, and after the wife and I had come home from the grocery store, I heard the RT calling to me from the garage...
