• 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.

rear shock air

I went to add air to my rear shock and on the main screen pops up on the left side manual, can anyone let me know what this means? I can't hear anything like the compressor running, nothing. Thanks ahead of time.:banghead:
 
One of two things is usually at fault...an ACS sensor that has a disconnected link (or another problem), or an improperly programmed cluster that has both limits set the same. Check the left side of the swingarm to see if your ride-height sensor link came loose (or is broken). If not, see your dealer. If the problem is the cluster, the suspension will still adjust manually from the switch if you hit the switch again.

Like Scotty said, probable cause is a disconnected ACS link. See photo. I lost the connecting bolt on the way home from collecting my new Spyder RT from the dealer in 2011. "Manual" means you can set the ride height by manually putting more or less air in the rear suspension. To do this at a standstill the engine must be running, parking brake released, foot brake applied, in gear and you use the same 2 rear suspension switches, the one furthest from you runs the compressor and sends air into the suspension air bag and the nearest one lets it out. :f_spider: Page 149 of the 2011 Operator's Guide has a few words to say about the "manual" message and while it says you can adjust the suspension it leaves you to find out how! Page 47 & 48 explains it in more depth.

Note: the engine must be running, the Spyder in gear, and the parking brake released before the air suspension functions.
