• 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.

    Seat/backrest/passenger armrest selection advice needed

    We have a 2015 RTL in Circuit Yellow. Looking for seat recommendations. I really am at a loss here. I seem to bottom out on the stock seat after about 30-45 minutes of riding. Should I just install gel seat pads or go for a compleatly new seat and backrest? I have heard mixed reviews on the BRP...

    Hard starting 2015 RTL with 5k miles

    Yeah well, with as much rain as we've had lately and a 103 mile round trip every day, it's not always easy to get out. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind getting caught in the rain occasionally, HOWEVER, I try not to ride if the chance of rain is 30% or more. Snot fun at 1:00 AM and 50+ miles...

    Hard starting 2015 RTL with 5k miles

    Only happened once (so far). I always use premium fuel, plug into a Battery Tender if the bike sits for more than 1 week and it's kept in a garage. Had not been started for 10 or so days. Went out to go to work yesterday and turned the trike on, started gearing up while waiting to start it...

    Did You Or Will You Switch To FULL Synthetic Oil Upon 1st Oil Change?

    I've been using AMSOIL for 20 years now. 20k interval in my cars and trucks. 10k or once per year in everything else, bikes, trikes, lawn, garden and tractor equipment. Heat is the biggest determent of oil. Oils main job is to remove heat from parts. That's why you should use a full synthetic...

    Headlight modulator install

    I plan to convert my 2015 RTL to LEDs and install a modulator very soon. That is, as soon as I can find the best, brightest, most reliable, least troublesome and easy to install bulbs. I want to do the headlights and fog/driving lights. I had a modulator on my 2010 Kawasaki Voyager and people...

    Transition from 2 wheels to 3

    I too was beginning to have problems when coming to a stop under less than ideal conditions, sand, gravel, uneven pavement, steep hills, etc. Sooo ... My wife, Deb, and I started looking at Spyders about two years ago at the American Voyager Association International Rally in Hurley, WI. One...

    Spyder insurance in Washington

    If you were a military service member, or anyone in your family was, check out USAA. Not exactly sure how family members qualify, parents, siblings, in laws, aunts, or uncles, but, I know it's available to some.

    Where did the hearing protection thread go?

    Anyway ... I wear the foam ear plugs when I ride. Might sound strange, but, when I do, I can hear my radio better. The plugs seem to cut out the wind noise and, though I may lose some of the high frequencies, the radio is clearer with the plugs. I don't push them in quite far enough to touch...

    Vampire Drain?

    Have you installed any USB type chargers that remain "hot" all the time when the bike is switched off? GPS? This could also be a source of the drain.

    This important,perplexing question came to me at lunch

    I remember the old Dell computer commercials ... "It's a Dell Dude!" The kid got busted for pot and lost his contract with Dell. Actually, I think I remember hearing it first during Vietnam.
