• 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.

    What was your best Upgrade/Add-on to your Spyder???

    Hands down; Suspension. On a '13 ST, Elka stage 2 all around. On a '16 RTL I bought used, same brand fronts only. Second best, Baja Ron sway bar. Riding the '16 now. I don't ride hard and mostly 2 up, but it still makes a world of differencein both the ride and handling.

    Vredestein tire sizes from their web site

    I'm missing something here. I am going to order a new set of tires, probably from tire rack and I plan on ordering Vredstein again as I had good luck with them on other Spyders. I find the front size that I had before, 165/60R15 but am missing the rear. If I remember right, it was a 215/60R15...

    Do you think we'll see Spyders with DCT soon?

    Last year we bought a 2016 Hundai Tucson with DCT and their little turbo charged 4 cyl. Runs and operates great. Does shudder on takeoff though where my Spyder does not.

    What is a VSS fault?

    Peter. My riding is both short and long (1 hour plus). I haven't been able to pinpoint whether it is after, let say 1/2 hour or longer stints in the saddle. But it DOES only happen when the engine hesitates, as mentioned earlier. I don't use a battery tender as I ride it at least multiple...

    What is a VSS fault?

    Thanks all. It sounds like I may have a issue with hot starting which is causing the momentary showing of the "VSS FAULT". That is the only times I have seen the issue.

    Does this handlebar look factory standard for my 2021 RTL?

    OK, I have got to jump in here. I'm on the opposite end of this. I'm 5'7" and have got to replace those stock bars. They are killing my elbows. F series or short reach?
