• 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.

    Has anyone heard any rumors about a new 1600 engine for 2027 Spyders?

    That wouldn't make any sense. The Rotax ACE 1330 is smooth, reliable and efficient. They could add another 50hp to that motor's output without any real downside, so no need for a new motor.

    Does a first service/oil change at 500 miles sound "normal" for a 2024 RTL

    You can't see the particles that could damage the engine. The only way to know for sure is an oil analysis.

    Anyone out there balance your own Ryker wheels? If so, how?

    From the looks of them, they should fit on a standard automotive wheel balancer. For my F3S, I had to turn a smaller cone to fit the small center hole. And I bought a motorcycle wheel adapter for the rear wheel.

    2016 Spyder F3 hard starting when hot.

    I'd replace the relay that feeds the starter solenoid first. It's cheap and easy, and if the solenoid isn't getting a strong trigger signal it could cause your symptom.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Thanks, Peter. I wasn't aware it was a custom seat.

    Can't you return it for a refund? Any reputable business should have a reasonable return policy.

    Has this Clutch Late Lockup always been there???

    The ECU has to engage the clutch gradually to smooth the starts and prevent stalling the engine. I suspect what you're feeling is this normal brief slippage of the clutch as it's engaging.

    https://spicerparts.com/calculators/transmission-ratio-rpm-calculator Funny, I don't see power, torque, exhaust system, vehicle weight, acceleration, deceleration, uphill, downhill, or anything other than gear ratios and tire diameter in that calculation. 🤣 🤣🤣

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    With a manual tranny, the engine is locked to the rear tire through the drivetrain. It's mechanically impossible for an exhaust to affect that relationship.

    My Trailer Loaded for a Service Run

    NEVER load a trailer tail heavy. Insufficient tongue weight percentage will cause any trailer to sway, though fifth wheels are more tolerant of improper load balance.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Excuse me, but I'm failing to understand how a silencer can affect engine RPM at a given speed. :unsure::ROFLMAO:

    Does a first service/oil change at 500 miles sound "normal" for a 2024 RTL

    The WORST thing for a new engine is to baby it during break-in. I always ride easy until the oil temp to comes up to normal, but after that, 10 to 20 short bursts of WOT up to 80% of redline is the best way to seat the rings. Give it a minute between pulls to allow the cylinder temps to...

    UK Spec 2016 RTL - Is there any way to keep Low Beam on with the High Beam lights?

    It should be a simple mod, but I'd only do it if you're running LED lights. This mod results in the ground lead carrying twice it's normal current, as it's shared between the low and high filaments, and will often burn the contacts in the connector, or the wire itself. With LED lights, the...
