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.
High Mileages on the Three Cylinder Engines?

Likewise - We have just switched over to a new 2018 RT from a 2003 Goldwing with > 100,000 miles on it. Goldwings are known for routinely going 300k miles or more so I'm also curious as to whether the Spyder will come close.

Mark, I'll be following you comments on the GW vs Spyder RT.

I may have the most miles on a 1330 ACE engine on my 2014 RT-S. Today mine turned 170,000 miles. Not one engine problem. I have noticed at idle it is quieter than when new. I think with good oil unlimited miles can be had. It still uses no oil
While here I may add the 170,000 mile report. Last year and this one have been expensive. Last summer it was both sprockets and another belt (the second belt). Then both radiators at $300 apiece. This summer my RT started running terrible, only running on 2 cylinders. It was coil packs and I replaced all 3. I also had to replace both front brake rotors. I bought them from Bajaron. I bought the rear rotor last year. Ron says you'll get 20% more stopping power, and I believe him.
I think my RT is running better than ever. Like all high mileage vehicles these things can be expected. But this engine....remarkable.

I have "Goldwing blood" running in my veins, that engine is just so smooth. With that said I have an RT with 33,000 miles
and the more miles I put on it the smoother it seems to run. You can do a 500 mile day with no problem. Last summer
rode around Lake Superior, this summer will stay in the barracks until the "oldman" says we can ride again. I'm 70+
and the Spyder is a wonderful machine......

77 here, with 47,000 kms on my ‘14 RTS and still going strong. Plan on several more 1,000 kms before I have to hang it up. Hopefully this Covid-19 won’t put an early end to my riding days.

Kudos to you guys, 87 here, the Mrs. and I finally discovering the 20 RTL after many years on the GW. Enjoying the change, sure like the GW, and it will probably last for an eternity, but it was a logging truck herky jerky ride, and that's all I'll about that.

Looks like I've got some catching up to do. Mine has a tad over 500 miles, but I just bought it at the end of February. Two things are in my favor though, I'm retiring two weeks from tomorrow.....and the warmer weather is on the way. Stay safe y'all and here's to a bunch of happy/smiling miles! :cheers:

I have 25,000 miles and going strong!
I have a 2014RTS-SE6.
I did have the D.E.S.S module replaced twice and the keys reprogrammed once( and started a thread about the D.E.S.S errors that I had in 2015, it is a very long thread, with some very helpful info, it has a lot of views, and replies, both times the dess module was covered under warranty).
