• 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.

    I fixed all of my clocks this morning and then I started my Spyder... :(

    My 2017 RT clock couldn't keep accurate time if my life depended on it. Gains about 20 min every 6 months.

    Recall - 2017-2019 RT and F3 Engine Output Shaft Can Break!

    Reminds me of the early eighties when Chrysler had a huge problem with their transmissions. My Dodge Caravan went through 5 transmissions (all under warranty) before they finally bought it back. The dealer told me that Chrysler was running 2 transmission assembly lines, one for new units and the...

    Any chart/pics to show where Oil change O rings need to go?

    As I see it, the 4 small rubber O rings are all different. Obviously the 5th, large one goes on the filter housing cover. The drain plug uses two different sized O rings.

    Any chart/pics to show where Oil change O rings need to go?

    Well, it's almost time to put the Spyder to bed for the winter and once again I'm perplexed as to which goes where with the small O rings in BajaRon's kit. Is there a chart (maybe with pictures?) available to where each of the 4 small ones go? Thanks in advance for any insight. 2017 SE6

    Harbor Freight 63397 motorcycle lift - high enough for sway bar install?

    I have this lift and must say it is just "OK". When it is fully extended the Spyder is quite rocky and tends to lean to one side. It will not raise the bike high enough to change out your sway bar (first hand experience) not to mention it will be in the way.

    Opinions on un-weighting front suspension during Winter storage?

    I put my Spyder on auto wheel Dolly's. That way I can move it around the shop without having to start it. Also makes it easy to "tuck it in a corner"

    RAM Mounts - destroyed my iPhone! Any ideas on mounts that won't fail?

    I've been using the Ram X grip with the elastic tether for 10 years, both on my RT-L and my previous BMW. Never had a concern for the phone falling out. Thousands of freeway miles and Michigans lousy roads.

    Stuck in 1st gear & won't start - any ideas?

    Yes indeed on the star washers. My background is in pro audio, and I used star washers when mounting components to racks. Solved many noise and hum problems by ensuring a good bond between the equipment and the rack.

    Stuck in 1st gear & won't start - any ideas?

    Spyder is always on a tender when not in use, but I agree that a 5 year old battery is probably ready for replacement.

    Stuck in 1st gear & won't start - any ideas?

    Problem solved! Took the key out, waited 10 minutes and tried again. It still indicated 1st gear but this time it turned over and started. The gear indicator then changed from 1st to neutral. All is well....Silly Spyder!

    Stuck in 1st gear & won't start - any ideas?

    Went to start my 2017 rt SE6 today and turned the key and the bike went thru the power up procedure but the gear selector indicates 1st and the bike won't turn over. Any ideas? Thanks

    Car Tire Recommendation - 2017 F3T - Perfect Fit?

    Just a note of endorsement. I have over 9K miles on my Q-5s (all 3) and they look like the day they were installed. Best upgrade ever!
