• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Oil change just went from an hour long project to a mail order for two new oil plugs. Darn head of the bolt snapped off! These original plugs were bound to have this happen. Ordering aftermarket replacements that are actually a bolt and not fastened with an Allen wrench. 😜 - -

    Brake squeak at low speed - any quick fixes?

    Were the brake pads flat or were there grooves cut into the brake pad? If there is not a groove - they will squeal.

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    Whistle Solved. Used Ron’s idea above! Inside the intake there is lip that can create a whistle at certain throttle positions depending speed, air flow, etc. Decided to just add a liner to negate the lip. Photos included. Just went to Lowe’s and bought a rubber coupling from the plumbing...

    2012 RT Brake failure and parking brake lights stay on - any ideas?

    Hilariously - I'm fighting the exact same issue! 2011 RT 998 with 11,000 miles. I replaced the parking brake sensor/switch that is located underneath the parking brake actuator. The darn bike still has a BRAKE FAILURE alert and the Parking Brake Light is remaining ON in the dash. I'll try...

    I can steer with my feet?!

    lol well shucks fellas! What can I say… I was just sharing a lil bit of fun I discovered! 😎 Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! Just note, you can only ‘ease’ the bike left/right with this method. So it’s only for long straight roads where you can sorta bounce between the lines. Very...

    I can steer with my feet?!

    I took the bike out for an evening spin down the Colonial Parkway which is a relatively flat and straight road. Put the radio up and the cruise control on and just laid back against my back rest… Kicked my feet out to rest on the two front wheel’s fenders; took my hands off the handles to air...

    PC5 and Pedal Box Pro - anyone tried simultaneous use of both?

    I installed a PC5 but also have a Pedal Box Pro. Is anyone running both at the same time? I took my Pedal Box off for the PC5 install, but now I’m missing the throttle response… PC5 definitely gives the bike a smoother experience! Just making sure this is ‘safe.’ Ps: - it's on a 2011...

    RLS Cat Delete - can I reuse the old gasket?

    So, with a 998 RT, do I reuse the gasket that went between the stock muffler and original cat in between the new RLS cat delete and the stock muffler?

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    I forgot about that nut when I did the install. Found it as you see it. Pretty sure that’s the whistle I’ve been hearing!!! 😳 I don’t think that nut is really needed to hold the screw into the lid. I elected to go without it being in there and put it all back together. It is, of course...

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    Holy S$@T! Well... I don’t need to DM you. I see my issue just from the photo... I’ll eat my humiliation pie on this one... FML, I know what I did and I must have been half asleep when I did it. Crap.

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    Hi BajaRon! I’m not intending any negativity. I was recounting as best I could. My call in was about a month+ ago? I bought the kit maybe 2-3 months ago and after I installed it and noticed the whistle I called in to see if there was a thing. The call wasn’t long. Quickly wrapped up and my take...

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    Excellent heads up! I have a cat-delete coming in. Will be stripping the bike when it does. I will definitely be looking into the throttle body plate suggestion! Ty!

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    I called when I first put on the system. Was told that a whistle is bound to happen because the inlet to the throttle body isn’t tapered… Or at least that’s the version I heard in my head… Anyways, bc I’m in the mountains, with my wife on board, and with all our gear, the whistle seems to have...

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    Long day.. 400+ miles. It’s definitely a whistle! I suspect if I play with the filter’s position and the tension on the lid that holds the filter in place that I can change the air flow or air flow amount to reduce the whistle or at least shift it to a less prominent RPM range... If that...

    Throttle body whistle from BajaRons intake system - any tips to reduce the noise?

    2011 RT 998 engine. I installed the intake system from BajaRon and I now have an inherent whistle at 4,500 RPMs -5,500 RPMs - revs which tend to also be my cruising revs (60-65mph-ish). Before I take the whole darn bike apart, has anyone else battled this? And if so, do they have tips or...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed a Pedalbox Pro on my 2011 Spyder RT with the 998 engine. The first test run was wild! In Sport+ mode, I genuinely almost came off the handle bars because it accelerated with such a punch. After playing with the settings, I left it on Sport and up 'one tick.' That seems to have the...
