• 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 Chocks do you use for Trailering Spyder?

    Ratchets on rear wheel and through the A arm of each front wheel, secured to tie downs on the trailer. Then I bolted two wood blocks on the floor just in front of the front wheels. Works really well on my Aluma utility trailer. Before I bolted the blocks the Spyder would move forward no matter...

    Very light scraping while loading - should I worry?

    All good points. Thanks to all of you for the advice. I guess I will have to experiment and see what works.

    Very light scraping while loading - should I worry?

    I think I could use additional ramps, but they would have to be ON the trailer ramp, not UNDER. Again, the scraping takes place BEFORE the front wheels reach the trailer ramp. Anything that elevates the trailer ramp is going to make the scraping even worse. I would have to use two ramps (one for...

    Very light scraping while loading - should I worry?

    Do you mean across the direction of the ramp (right to left)? I am not sure that would help, by the time the front wheels reach the ramp the nose has cleared it. I know I could use two ramps to extend the trailer ramp, but that is what I am trying to figure out and see if I can avoid it. Thanks!

    Very light scraping while loading - should I worry?

    Possible, although I don't have to load and unload the Spyder on the trailer more than a couple of times a year. Using a mirror, this is what I can see underneath (not easy to see using a photo from the phone). With my finger I can definitely feel scratches but no cracks. And given that I just...

    Very light scraping while loading - should I worry?

    Wouldn't that reduce the clearance even more and make the scraping worse?

    Very light scraping while loading - should I worry?

    Hello, I have a 2014 Spyder RT and an Aluma aluminum utility trailer with a 6x10 bed and a foldable ramp. Loading Spyder front first, the nose barely and briefly touches the second and third bar of the ramp, before the front wheels reach the beginning of the ramp. It is so mild that I didn’t...

    How to secure cargo in tow behind trailer?

    I don't want my cargo to bounce around when the trailer is not full, which will happen most of the time (for example, if I have only a couple of bags). Things inside the bags may brake.

    2014 RT - Trailer mode?

    Hello, I read that the RT should have a trailer mode that can be accessed using the MODE button. I cannot find that option on my 2014 RT, and cannot find any mentioning in the user's manual. Did I miss it, or does it nor exist? Thank you.

    How to secure cargo in tow behind trailer?

    Hello, I just purchased an Aluma MC trailer that I will pull behind my 2014 RT. The cargo area is totally naked, all aluminum. Any ideas how to secure the cargo inside? Thank you.

    Starter stuttering, computer rebooting when starting engine

    Spot on! It was a loose battery cable. All is good. Thanks!

    Starter stuttering, computer rebooting when starting engine

    Interesting. I did not think it could be the battery since it is brand new, but I will take it to the shop and have them test it. Thanks.

    Starter stuttering, computer rebooting when starting engine

    Hi all, I have a 2014 RT with about 29,000 miles and a weird problem. The starter hesitates, then kicks in while the computer reboots. See video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG3PxLneE64&feature=youtu.be . It has happened on and off for a few weeks and seems to become more consistent. If I...

    Best Trailer For Hauling Spyder

    I believe that fits the F3, but not the RT. I tried that with my Rt and the ramp was too narrow. I had to go with an Aluma 7 x 10.
