• 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.

    Kendon Spyder Trailer

    I don't know of any Kendon being made specifically for the Spyder, but I bought a Kendon double-motorcycle trailer in 2009 and just moved the wheel chocks out to align with the Spyder wheels. They aren't "adjustable", so I had to do a little drilling and welding, but I've been using it for 10...

    glow rider wheel light

    Whoever sold you the Spyder should have also provided the remote that works with the lights. The remote will turn the lights on and off and also allow you to change the color and/or pattern (flashing, steady etc). If you don't have the remote, the lights won't work. By the way, GloRyder has now...

    Battery / Charging System Question

    Answers: No, I don't have any alarm or anything that should be consuming power while the Spyder is parked and no, it doesn't ever sit for more than a couple of days without being driven. Like most Spyder ryders, I find "excuses" to go to the market or the local hardware store because I still...

    Battery / Charging System Question

    I replaced the battery in 2010 with one from Batteries Plus. After Batteries Plus charged and tested it overnight, they told me the battery is still in good condition. It read 12.5 volts at that point so I re-installed it. When I started the Spyder, it showed 13.8 volts while charging. I haven't...

    Battery / Charging System Question

    Thanks. I did check all of the connections first and everything seemed clean and tight. I'll check the voltage as you suggested. Thanks again.

    Battery / Charging System Question

    I have a 2008 RS that I bought new (premium edition) and have had very few issues considering it was a brand new design at the time. I noticed recently that the Spyder seems to turn over more slowly before starting and yesterday, it wouldn't start at all. It appeared to be a dead battery (trying...

    Installed Web Boards on my 2012 RS-S

    Similar to Mine I actually made my own floorboards and it looks like they made theirs similar to mine except I didn't try to make them look "fancy". Mine are really solid and there's no vibration at all. I couldn't find any after-market floorboards that looked OEM so I took a stab at making my...

    Starting issue

    Thanks Jerbear and Scotty. I'll keep your suggestions in mind and have the dealer check out the starter and solenoid. I don't think starting WOT will help in this case because it won't turn over long enough to clear the gas, but it's good to know that. And I'll try it next time anyway. By the...

    Starting issue

    WOT? Without throttle??? Flooding was my first thought, so I don't give it any throttle when trying to restart it. But that doesn't help. I may have been misleading when I mentioned stalling it. Occasionally when I try to start it, it tries to start and then stalls. When that happens, I have to...

    Starting issue

    I have a problem with my 2008 RS that I haven't heard anyone else having. If I stall my Spyder by releasing the clutch a little too fast (or for whatever reason), when I try to restart it again, it won't start. It turns over for an instant and then stops dead. I've also noticed that when this...

    lock keys in storage trunk

    Replacement Key Cost - Need some advice! I just managed to lose one of my Spyder keys so obviously I need to have another one made before I lose my other one. I called a local dealer and they want $45 for a blank. Then they say they can't cut it so I need to take it somewhere to have it cut and...

    Florida Tag for RT-622 Trailer

    I moved from Arizona to Florida this past April, and I too was surprised they asked for a certified scale weight. I bought my trailer in Golden, Colorado, from a company that makes custom trailers. If the weight is on your title, they'll accept that, but mine wasn't, so I paid $10 to a local...

    Riding two up.

    One option... Do you still have the original seat on your bike? I bought a Corbin seat which has the separate driver and passenger seats. You have the option of having a backrest on either or both. My driver seat has a backrest so I could have some back support. This also keeps my wife from...

    Hardware for LED install....

    Tricled I sent an email to him via his web-site a few days ago and he responded the same day. He has been out of town, but will apparently be back in next week. He's probably the best person to answer your question and he's very helpful.
