sorry I didnt post a conclusion from last year... but to get it working, I ended placing the ballasts in areas where it's not touching the frame and I used a lot of wire loom to keep the wires away...

for my lights to not cause any problems, I ended using different bulbs... and not letting the ballasts and wires not touch any part of the frame... too much electrical interference from the ballasts...

did you ride up to Skyline ridge? glad you made it back safe!:2thumbs:

thanks for the replies... I just went ahead and took it out... just dont want to be any problems with it and I want a good outcome with the new DPS and any software upgrades if any is needed... ...

I am having my DPS updated tomorrow, should I remove the JB??? my dealer seems to be anti-JB... or should I just turn it off???

thanks
Dennis

I was having issues with the HIDs from ESI, I have the HIDs for headlight and foglights... I added the ground wire to coil ( I think???), which custom dynamics suggested I do, made sure the ballasts...

:dontknow: I keep getting the "probably 1-2 weeks and we'll call you..." so.... :dontknow: guess I'll be waiting......... and I asked them about the evap canister line update, they said my VIN...

Hey Raptor,
Took that ride but started at the 84, then to the 1, and back up the 92, to the 35 all the way down to Saratoga... what a blast... the weather was perfect, no fog, no wind... the...

Which dealer did u go to?

Congrats!:2thumbs: where did you get it? I pick up a Phantom from Speed Sports in Livermore last October... everything is running good so far...

Ride Safe!!! maybe I'll see u on the road when...

Well, my oil level is at the add mark... ill just add the mobile1 4t to get back at the safe level, then just use all synthetic oil at the next oil change... thanks for the info!

I'm guessing with only 900 miles on the oil filter that it would still be good... I'm just thinking the sooner I can get the synthetic oil in, the better off the bike will be...

How many miles should I wait till I can put synthetic oil? I have about 1500 miles... I had the oil changed at 600 miles and I know they put the blended oil in there, but I want to drain the oil and...

i just put something like dynamat (http://www.aboutsecurityconcepts.com/Stinger_Roadkill_Sound_Dampening_Door_Kit_p/rkxdk.htm) on the panels surrounding the engine... and the sound came down a lot......

could it be such a large build up of oil in the air box... some of it leaking out, and with the Spyder running so hot, catch on fire?:dontknow:

makes me wanna carry a portable fire extinguisher...

I have the ESI/Custom Dynamics head and fog lights... I still had issues with them... things I had to do - install a ground wire on the coil, keep the ballasts away from the frame, wireloom all the...

Try speedsports in livermore or the other dealersip in Lodi, I stayed away from eastbay motorsports after they wanted to run my credit just to test ride the spyder... real shady sales guy...

It was nice meeting and riding with all the people who went... looking forward to the next Spyder ride... ride safe!!!!

Spyder Appreciation Day

"As a customer of California Speed-Sports we would like to show our appreciation for all your support and business over the...

this ride looks like fun, but I committed to the Speed Sports customer appreciation ride that day at that time... I'll keep an eye out for the next West Coast Spyder ride... have fun and ride...

So do you think the juice box pro is a little too technical for the average rider? Is seems like there needs to be a lot of education needed for the pro... or like a dyno is needed to fine tune the...

The Corbin dude? owner...... Mike... :dontknow: very nice though...:thumbup:

took 4 months for my card to come in......

You can try sticking the NMN mud flap LEDs on the back rest and connect it to the triple play... you probably need to drill a bunch of holes to get it workin... good luck!:thumbup:

Add the ground wire from the coil to engine, don't let the ballasts touch any part of the frame... keep the wire from the foglights away from the frame... it causes a lot of noise for the spyder...

cool! I'm interested... wait... is this only for RT owners?

thanks

yah, I asked my dealer if I could watch the mechanic work on my bike for the 600 mile service, and he told me the mechanic doesnt like to be watched while he works on bikes, when all I really wanted...

oops let me fix that... thanks

well I got a second set of ballasts from Custom Dynamics, installed it... and.... same problems... VSS faults, and the stuck accelerator issue... the Spyder just doesnt like a second set of HIDs......

well it didnt work, so out came the HID foglights, back with the stock headlights... now it looks odd, bright white headlights, and stock dim foglights... probably too much draw on the system.... it...
