• 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.

    My Journey Continues........ Riding with a Disability

    I realized something last night, OK Erik reminded, I have a driving limitation, due to cognitive problems, of 30 to 45 minutes, then rest for 15 minutes, which applies the Peanut too. So when planning longing trips we need to account for that. I didn't even consider that. Dang I have a good...

    My Journey Continues........ Riding with a Disability

    OK so from what everyone has said, I need to let peanut downshift herself and give her a little throttle while slowing down so the downshift is smooth. Do I understand, I am sorry if y'all feel like you are :banghead: not my intention, I am just trying to figure this out. :D I was so much...

    I learned to drive in an automatic, I shift when the engine starts saying F'in shift, you can hear it. I don't pay attention to RPM to tell you the truth. I listen to the engine and let her be my guide.

    It is a 998 2012 Limit Edition RT. Yes the shift point is the same as with the GS that I had, so that I am accustom too. The manual said to not throttle during down shift so I release it, I am generally braking so that makes sense......

    OK, I will try that on the way home. I need some local to come and help me and explain what I am doing wrong. Erik said he saw a truck bed lined Spyder so I know there is someone close! LOL

    When I down shift, specifically into 2nd or first, she jump forward during the downshift. I use my thumb for shifting up and index finger for shifting down. At first I thought it was be not pressing and releasing but that is not it.

    OH I figured out the Check Engine problem, it was the NAV, as long as I don't plug the NAV in it no check engine light. I got the NAV from someone here on the forum, but it is apparently a Harley NAV not a Spyder NAV so I assume it consumes power differently.

    Yes there is a time interval 30 seconds, but inevitably my husband gets on the Bluetooth and says turn signal. So then I fumble trying to turn it off. As for the downshifting I release the throttle when down shift, but not when up shifting, I believe that is the way it is suppose to go.

    We have the cool vest that we have not put to a real test yet, but Erik me Cooling shirts which are working well and I just got a cooling Helmet. He ware also getting a sun shade for the seat so it doesn't heat up in the sun when I'm not riding. So far so good. :D

    So it has been about 4 months since I picked up Peanut and I have to say, WOW! OK lets start with what I love about the Spyder RT vs the GS (I still love you Billie) and how it accommodates the MS, besides the ones already discussed: 1. Cruise control, OMG what a life saver, you have no idea...
