• 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.

    Turn signal issue???

    My wife is now a HAPPY Spyder rider once more! After removing instrument cluster and checking connections, wires, and continuity to the front turn signals and finding nothing wrong I put everything back and moved to the dreaded rear of the bike. I say dreaded because to do anything the bags...

    How would I go about testing this for short or break?

    Turn signal issue???

    Yes, I do have a volt ohm meter and know how to check voltage and continuity.

    Turn signal issue???

    I removed wind screen and instrument cluster. Like you said very simple. Checked connection to instruments, and two small connecters that go to each front turn signal. All seem to be tight and not corroded or damaged in any way. I will pull rear tire pan next to check wire and connections to...

    Turn signal issue???

    This may also be a result from me having dealership install a set of Can am fog lights this spring. She hasn't put a lot of miles on it since and not absolutely sure the turn signals have worked since. Every since her accident she insists on following me instead of leading so I don't get to...

    Turn signal issue???

    Actually have to remove the bag just to replace rear bulb. No, neither front or back signal lights work with the 4-way flashers either. I will look for wire issues but not sure I want to start pulling instrument cluster yet anyway. Sounds like that could be quite a job.

    Turn signal issue???

    My wife's 2009 RS SE5 left turn signal front and back quit working. Initially I thought it was just the rear one and after a long search for a new bulb (takes a special small one with offset pins) I replaced it only to find it still doesn't work. Then I noticed the left front also didn't work...

    Handlebar front brake....

    Thanks for the information, I will try to optimize the travel on hers as soon as I get it back from the dealer. Then, if I can get it to be solid further from grip, I will order the adjustable lever.

    Handlebar front brake....

    Rode the wife's spyder to drop it off at the Dealership for some work (installing foglights) and used the handbrake quite a lot. I was going to purchase an adjustable lever but the stock one stops about 1" or so and parallel to the handgrip. Not a lot of room to adjust it closer. My bike has...

    Handlebar front brake....

    Are you saying ISCI now has a new lever for their brake system? Maybe adjustable or a different angle for smaller hands? I just checked their website and didn't see anything about one. Thanks

    Trying to break the harley addiction

    Just returned back from Daytona Bike Week a week ago. As usual saw a ton of HD's. This time though I also saw quite a few Spyders, mostly all RT's. Went a couple of years ago and saw very few spyders. It is obvious that their popularity is growing!

    Ducati Competitor???

    I have to say, I think it is great to be able to have a handling, speed discussion on a particular machine without it getting to heated! Everyone has opinions and sometimes people take these a little too far. Our group ride quite an aray of different make and style bikes. I am not a Harley...

    Ducati Competitor???

    I don't care for the prototype. I would like to see someone like Kaw, Honda, that has a reputation for reliability come out with something (inline 4), for sure. Bring on the competition! I agree speed has to do with what you are use to. Coming from a sport bike background, spyders, or at least...

    mount trunk on sport rack top plate ?

    I wanted to mount a GIVI V46 monokey box on the wifes spyder. We decided to buy just one top box and use it for both her spyder and my Connie. So.... I got on the phone with Phil Ham of Phills Farkles and he machines a beautiful replacement rack for the Connie 14 that has the SW-MOTECH kit...

    Oil Changes

    The auto trans models will cost more because you will need an extra filter to do a complete job. I use amsoil and BRP filters. Shifts a lot smoother and it meets all of the specs shown in the owners manual. It is the only syn oil I found that met them all.
