• 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.

The 2013 Spyder catalog shows two grills on the throttle side of the RT one upper and one lower by your foot. Dealer says there is no lower grill anymore just an open space. Is this correct? Thanks

BRP's web site shows the grills also. If you look at the RT Limited pictures on the web site, it shows both with webbed grills.
 
On my first spyder I panicked one night when I thought I had lost a grill like part on a nearly new bike.. Only later I found out the part was never there - even though when I called the dealer I used back then, they initially told me they would order the replacement part for me...
 
Do you mean the accessory catalog? Or the Spyder brochure? I can't find a good illustration or photo of that part of the RT in either one.

Similar for me also. Went to the dealer to check out the :spyder2:'s to see if they had missing grills or not.

The 2013 Spyder catalog , not the accessory catalog, shows a yellow RT-S with a lower right grill. There are holes for a grill on the right which are reverse of the left side. Turning the left grill upside down might fit the right. Anyway I thought the dealer had lost mine and was pretty upset. Called them back and admitted they were were correct. I do not know why they omitted a grill on the right unless it had something to do with radiator cooling.
BTW Thanks Lamonster for the quick reply.

Good Reason for No Right Side Grill

I think they decided to omit the grill so your ankle would start to cook faster if you decided to start resting your right foot out on the lower fairing instead of near the brake lever. <smirk>
