• 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.

    Is a Spyder a motorcycle, trike or something else?

    In Canada the Spyder is considered a motorcycle for insurance purposes. I have had a few people say to me that I'm wrong however my insurance states that it is indeed a motorcycle! Having ridden bikes for most of life I consider it a bike, my sidecar combination is also a bike both have three...

    Fuse blew I presume - Spyder 2012. Any suggestions?

    I've got it on charge at the moment however I'll probably change it out if everything else checks out. I've owned bikes since the 1970's everything from a BSA Beagle to Gold Wings, solos sidecars and everything in between. It's really the suddenness of the power going out that surprised me. It...

    Fuse blew I presume - Spyder 2012. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for reply, we had an Indian summer up to about ten days ago. Suddenly the weather and temperature dropped like a stone. This week we had some snow fall so I put the Spyder on tender because of the trip this weekend. No problem starting every time until we stopped at the ferry booth on the...

    C1282 fault on 2012 RT - any simple fixes?

    Code C1282 continued... I ordered some Speedbleeders and brake pads which I hope to install this week. I've discovered one advantage to this C1282 fault. I can go directly into reverse without having to go into first gear first! I'm wondering how much it costs to have a technician check with...

    C1282 fault on 2012 RT - any simple fixes?

    My new to me 2012 RT (16000kms) has been running well but I've ridden 4000kms in the past month and decided to check the brake fluid levels. All I did was remove the brake master cylinder caps. The levels appeared to be fine so I refitted the caps, started it up and now this C1282 fault code has...
