• 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.

New 2014 RTS owner - love it!

Welcome-- I traded my '12 RT S for a '14 RT L, the RT S wasn't on the show room. I would have bought the RT S otherwise.
I enjoy my '14 model, even though I only have 4100 miles since May.
Enjoy

olfactory overload

Congrats on your new Ryde. My 2014 RTS also threw an assortment of aromas on cool down when fairly new. It kind of reminded me of "protectant" and insulation. A definite rubber-like quality to it. I just kind of wrote it off as a seasoning event, and the effect will lessen after a couple thousand miles.
 
:clap: Congrats and Welcome !!! As others have said, it's the belt. I also had the rubber smell but went away as miles were put on. :yes:
 
What Part

Hello everyone!

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to post or comment. Your words here sealed the deal for me the evening after my test drive.

I think I finagled a pretty good deal on my RTS, buying it on the last day of the month in November with the 2015's about to hit the showroom. The four year warranty was a nice surprise bonus, as I was going to buy an extended one until they told me about it while I was declining their finance options...

I love it! My kids call it the bat-mobile, the wife named it (she has a penchant for naming inanimate objects she likes) before we even signed the papers, and the guys at work have had a lot of great comments about it. It is to be my daily driver except in wet weather.

i would love to hear any advice for a new SPYDER owner that any would care to share.

Thanks in advance!

Sailor, what part of California are you in!
 
:welcome:and:congrats: on your new 2014RTS.

I traded my 2012RTS-SE5 for a 2014RTS-SE6 in cognac, it is an AWESOME machine. Enjoy your new :spyder2:. Deanna
