• 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.

    Well Heck.

    Really didn't mean to scare anyone. Just venting I guess. The good thing is it's a 2011 RT with 47,000 miles on it. Other than a 600.00 drive belt 2 1/2 years ago I've been lucky that this is all I've spent other than regular maintenance, tires and normal things. Coming from riding 5 Honda...

    Well Heck.

    Hi guys and gals. Here's the update. Finally got the RT back a couple of weeks ago. Rides great, runs great and after not seeing it for two months as for being at the shop. I can't complain about the shop, just that the 2100 dollars to fix is kinda crazy. But it runs good and rides good. Maybe...

    Natchez Trace

    this is a very nice road to just set back and relax and enjoy the ride. There are several nice stops of interest along the way. The first part of the trace is nice with long sweeping curves coming south from nashville. The gas stops are off the trace in towns along the way. But some towns are...

    Well Heck.

    it's really not that hard to turn without the DPS. It's just you have to look st the warning lite flash on and off all the time. I don't know if you can turn it off thru the computer or not.

    Well Heck.

    I checked cheap cycle parts and the DPS on there was $1259.99 . It was a good try. They all seem to be around the same price. Thanks for the help. Happy Trails My Friend.

    Well Heck.

    the DPS on a spyder RT is the dynamic power steering system that make it easier to steer in curves or going in and out of parking lots. It's controlled by one of the computers.

    Well Heck.

    I understand. Our shop has 2 techs, but they was already backed up for 2 to 3 weeks when we got it there but they went and checked it anyway in between other jobs. The problem come from BRP and there hold on getting the parts to Tennessee. I'll look at some other parts places to see if I can...

    Dragon or Rattler?

    I like them both, Plus the moonshiner 28 is also a favorite. A lot less traffic and you can visit Fontana Dam. It's kinda cool. That's where they made part of the movie The Fugitive at where he jumps off the dam. THE Snake or the Skyway is A good ride also. They are all great rides. Happy...

    DPS motor

    yes it did all you asked. It was driving normal till I almost got to the grave yard then the screen started flashing about a quarter mile before I arrived there. It done fine till I turned it off and got ready to leave then it was hard to steer. I'll check all the things everyone else said. It...

    DPS motor

    yes my bad, it was the DPS warning screen. I turned it off for about 10 minutes. When I turned the key back on it was out till I started the bike, then it would flash on and off all the way home. At first the big screen come on saying check dps then the small one at the bottom of the dash kept...

    DPS motor

    thanks right now anything is worth a try. Maybe if I can jack it up and take them apart I can spray them with contact cleaner. Both the plugs look like the female part is turned up so trash may be has gotten down in the plugs and they need a good cleaning. I'll try cleaning the battery post...

    Nannie got me real good yesterday

    Glade your ok.:thumbup: And no one coming up behind you not paying any attention didn't run over you. I've had a nanny a few times but not had the brakes lock up. Mostly it was always after I came out of the curve that it showed up. Hope you find the reason its doing that. Happy trails. :riding:

    Squeaky brakes on 2010 RT SM5?

    we have a 2011 RT SM5 that squeaks also. But our does it when the parking brake has been on for awhile when its not being rode. It the humidity has been high around home and the rotors get some rust on them. But they usually stop after we have rode for awhile and used the brakes a few times...
