• 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.

    1330cc Shifting Issues

    Down shift only while moving. If you’re stopped, don’t down shift. The bike won’t go into natural if your moving. The bike will always be in first gear when you’ve stopped. This should prevent you repeating that incident again. PS I’m assuming your riding a semi-auto unit! Have fun, ride much!

    Spyderpops BRT rear light kit with no turn function?

    Yep, diodes. Power to lights tied together from both brake light signal wires through diodes. No back flow through diode. PITA.

    Backrest Check and see if you didn’t install something backwards. Here is a photo of mine.

    CB types etc

    Called Sena about that. Their answer was it won’t work with the Spyder. I got the impression they are not interested in making one for the Spyder. I guess they don’t think there are enough people with this set up to make it worthwhile. I guess I should call again and see if they will tell me how...

    Test Pilots Needed...

    Iridium would be me choice. How or where do I get 3 of them? My next set for the Goldwing will either be iridium or RUTHENIUM HX by NGK.

    CB types etc

    Ah, but the factory unit integrates so well with the rest of the Spyder audio system. With the cable to helmet unit I have AM/FM and XM radio alone with the CB and Navigation audio for however long I ride the Spyder RTL. Love it, although I do wish it had been cheaper. You can’t get this...

    Bluetooth on a 2018 Spyder RT

    That’s interesting! The 2015-2017 RT’s at least had the option to add a bluetooth device (I bet Sena made it) to allow you to hear the AM, FM and XM with Bluetooth helmets. Why would they ever go backwards! With the current system I’ll never trade my 2016 RTL on another Spyder unless!:banghead...

    Parking brake light comes on & brakes lock up - UPDATE!

    Question, this thread is under Spyder RT Touring! Why isn’t it under Spyder general so everybody sees it! I’m sure it’s not an RT only problem.

    Spyder & Headset

    Ah, and we who may also own a 2018 Goldwing have been complaining about the less then perfect audio/nav system at least get audio to the BT headset! We’ve also had the first of 4 reported update fixes.

    Gas Gauge not very accurate! What happens if I disconnect?

    Yes, but. I know the answer is yes, you can disconnect the fuel guage and the temperature gauge and the alternate Guage on each side of the digital cluster will show the fuel level and the other the temperature. The fuel and temperature guage will be on the same side as the analog guage is...
