• 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.

    No 'Read Card' warning message and 2016 RT won't start! Any ideas?

    Do you hear the fuel pump cycle on when you turn on the key? If not check to see if the kill switch has been turned off by mistake.

    Left headlight stopped working, but the Right headlight is still working - any suggestions on what to look at/try?

    When mine went out I upgraded to the Silverstar Ultra which gave me more light but they warn you that they don't last as long. I ride about 17,000 miles a year and in less than a year 1 of them failed. I found LEDs from a company that were plug and play with no mods needed. I now have even more...

    New Coolant will not circulate after refill, completing successful flush and change - anyone else? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

    I suspect this was done after reading the horror stories of what can happen when mixing non-compatible coolant types. I flushed mine 2x when changing mine last time to a different brand.

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    Didn't know there is an auto mileage change standard. My car's recommended mileage change is 10,000 miles. It now has 230,000 miles and I have never had to add a drop. In looking at Amsoil's oil catalog they have a 25,000 mi oil that they guarantee protection.

    22 Spyder RT Brake issues - EBC Rotor larger than OEM & abnormal/uneven pad wear. Does any of this make sense?

    My '16 RTL has 60,000 miles on it. Should I be concerned, or are the '22 & '23 year rotors bad?

    One year on the oil & filters, but only 900 miles - is it OK to change just the oil?

    What is the procedure for pulling the sample without draining the oil? Do you warm the cycle up and use a syringe with a hose run down the dipstick tube? What length of hose is needed for the 1330?

    About to replace the Fuel filter on my 2021 RT - what is the best type of hose clamp, and what sizes are needed?

    Got mine from NAPA. #3095.

    One year on the oil & filters, but only 900 miles - is it OK to change just the oil?

    Back to the original question, if you search the archives you will find an oil sample analyzed with a run time of 3 years and 9500 miles that came back with flying colors and another where the cycle had sat for over 4 years came back the same. Both were top recommended oils by this forum!

    One year on the oil & filters, but only 900 miles - is it OK to change just the oil?

    Normally I would agree but in this case the yearly service would be like having oil in your cabinet for a year and throwing it away because it is a year old.

    One year on the oil & filters, but only 900 miles - is it OK to change just the oil?

    900 miles in a year doesn't mean much to me. It depends more on the number of rides it took to get there. If you rode 10 times to get the 900 miles it would be much better than riding say 60 times. The oil needs to brought up in temp to burn off the nasty stuff that can accumulate from short...

    What Rear Tire Size is needed to correct the speedo?

    Another added benefit, though slight, is that according to my odometer I have ridden 1,308 miles and the GPS says I have ridden 1,319 so far this year. That gives me a .33 mpg increase!

    Leak comes and goes? Shop did not find it. Help???

    If you don't want to buy the pressure test kit many auto parts places allow you to rent the kit and you get your money back if you return it in a reasonalbe amount of time. Do take your cap in to make sure the kit has what you need.

    Leak comes and goes? Shop did not find it. Help???

    On my 2016 RTL my oetiker clamp on the hose going to the right radiator started seeping. I had to remove the battery to get a clear shot to remove it.

    HowTo: Setting the front tire pressures equally each side.

    The book and stickers only apply if you are still using the OEM tires.

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    It meets all the requirements. Run it and then have the oil analyzed. We all would like to see the results.
