• 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.

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    Based on what I have read on this site, it seems like kind of a gamble to purchase the stuff from BRP as some have had an "OK" experience while others have had a bad experience. It doesn't seem like BRP is willing to delve right in and fix problems sometimes so I will probably go BT using some...

    Team Mancuso PowerSports Southwest in Houston

    Thanks for the input. We like the dealership on 59 near HBU and they seem to really want our business. I have read so much on this site about ill-equipped or poorly trained dealers that I am concerned about spending so much money on a such a high tech gadget. I'll let you know what we decide...

    139HP Rotax motor

    :agree I keep asking that same thing myself. I don't understand why they don't attempt to put a larger more powerful engine in what is arguably the heaviest of all the touring machines available. Everyone else is trying to get bigger engines with more torque (ie Honda GW, BMW K, etc...) so why...

    Team Mancuso PowerSports Southwest in Houston

    I am hoping to purchase a RT Limited fromTeam Mancuso PowerSports Southwest in Houston. I have talked with all the guys there including the actual guy that will be servicing my RT. Does anyone have any experience with this dealership good or bad? If not, do you know of a resource where I can...

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    I like your way of thinking. Since I don't have the Spyder yet and cannot look at possible mounting places....where do you mount the equipment?? Is there enough room under the seat somewhere or does it go in the trunk???:dontknow:

    You are correct in that what you have described may do exactly what I need. Thanks for the advice.

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    Thanks Scotty. I don't believe it was you that caused the confusion but rather me not being able to communicate what I was hoping to achieve. Between your posts as well as others that have commented, I have a very good idea of what I will need to do to get the desired results.

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    You are the first one to say there are no problems with the set up. I don't mind spending extra money if it does what it says it will do. Unfortunately, I simply have not found too many people who can corroborate what you are saying as the pool of people that have purchased the 2011RT and the...

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    BeachSpyder, that is exactly the question I have been trying to answer and I believe you have hit the nail on the head. I have this fantasy that much like my wife's car, we can be driving down the highway listening to music when someone calls, we simply hit answer on the steering wheel and WA...

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    Paul, We live in Southeast Texas (Houston area) and summer temps typically range from 95-103 degrees. I know it sounds bizarre, but we have grown accustomed to wearing full face helmets. I realize the RT offers superior protection to anything else I have ridden to date but what can I...

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    Scotty, I have not had an opportunity to listen to the RT's audio system at highway speeds and am not sure if it is loud enough to hear through full face helmets. To be perfectly honest, I have never owned a bike with a stereo system so I have no idea what to expect. I have been told that...

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    Thanks Paul. That is frustrating to have such a nice set up on the RT and not able to completely utilize it but such is life. I really appreciate your input.

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    Thanks for that detailed information Paul. That really helps me a lot. Do you know if the radio on the RT Limited will work with one of the non BRP set ups? I am assuming it will not based on your comments above as I cannot find anything in BRP's literature that says that I can.

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    OK, it must be late and my brain turning to mush. I see where you wrote "alternative" but simply glossed over that. With that being said, if I purchase one of the alternative systems you mentioned, will it allow me to tap into the BRP's system so I can pipe music from the Spyder's radio and/or...

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    So, I will have to spend an extra $900 and then use an aftermarket headset of my choice?

    Communication System on 2011 RT Limited

    Although I have been reading this forum off and on for a while, I am only now really looking into a Spyder. We looked at a 2011 Limited today and have scheduled an extended ride for May 6th. We want to have helmet to helmet communication and be able to listen to music. In looking at all the...

    Just a little sharing of RTS owner first impressions

    I WANT ONE!!!!:gaah: As bad as I want to go down and plunk down my deposit, I am still holding out until at least next year for better colors and working out the bugs. I agree with the seat quality issue. When I demo'd the RT, the seat material seemed suspect and would probably be one of the...

    RT test ride today

    I rode one on Saturday for the first time and fell in love. I have owned many bikes over the years and realize that the first ride can always seem better than it is. First impressions were great as I put the RT through its paces hard and managed to get the front wheel off the ground even...
