• 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.

    Test Ride, do you let them?

    TicketBait, The friend we bought it from, knew we had been on multiple Spyder Demo rides. Anytime one would be within 50 miles, we would go. She was also a member of our Goldwing Chapter, but unfortunately her husband passed away and could no longer go with the Chapter on rides, so she bought...

    Test Ride, do you let them?

    Ok, it looks like our Insurance "Progressive", has Permissive Coverage. That allows someone to ride it and they are covered if they hit someone or crash the bike. We would have to pay the deductible, which I would make them pay, plus reimburse us for any costs of repairs.

    Test Ride, do you let them?

    My wife is selling her Spyder RT Limited and someone wants to buy it and take it for a test ride. He said he has never ridden a Spyder before. He just sold his Goldwing and now wants to ride on 3 wheels because his family is concerned about 2 wheel accidents. I was thinking of following him on...

    MP3 player in rear case

    The problem my wife has with the MP3 player in the rear of her 2014 RT Limited is that every time she needs to do something with it, she has to stop and get off the bike and go back and mess with the player. Maybe there is a way of controlling it through the bike that she doesn't know about, but...

    OH NO! The dreaded "DESS ERROR".

    OH NO! The dreaded "DESS ERROR".

    My wife has had her 14 RT Limited now about 2 months. She has ridden it about 3 times. Last time we were out we got stuck at a gas station and it wouldn't start. She kept thinking she wasn't using the correct procedure to start it. We were seeing a flashing key at the bottom center of the...

    New Spyder owner in Pa.

    We found the comfort seat really does the trick for taller riders, or if you need more leg room without adding highway pegs.

    Reading the owners manual

    I am reading the owners manual, and I noticed one odd sentence, who knows there may be more! This is for shifting out of reverse on an RT SE6. To shift out of reverse, stop vehicle and push on upshift selector quickly to shift into neutral and more longer to shift in first gear.

    Installing Comfort Seat and backrest

    Well, it looked like the clips were molded on the seat and we didn't look to see if they came off. We took the stock seat, wrapped it up in the plastic the new seat came in, put it in the box and taped the box all up for storage. One day I guess we will have to open it and give it a thorough...

    Installing Comfort Seat and backrest

    My wife got her 2014 Spyder RT a couple of weeks ago and she wanted the comfort seat and backrest. We found through the Costco Auto Program that we could get a 15% discount on parts at our local participating dealer so we used that. I had watched the video on installing a seat from Ultimate...

    Getting a new seat

    Thanks slick999, however BRP has a list of items they want to get rid of, (overstock) and only certain items are on that list. Unfortunately a 2014 seat in black is not one of them. We do have a Costco discount and will get 15% off the price so that will save us some money. Thanks for the post.

    Lifting an RT Limited

    I saw a picture somewhere of a Spyder up on a lift, similar to a Craftsman motorcycle lift. I have the Craftsman lift that has the two flat bars you put under the motorcycle and lift it up. I believe it will handle up to 1500 lbs. If I can use this to lift the Spyder, are there certain points...
