• 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.

    They did call me! Yep, Johnny K’s. They’ve been very good with me. Plenty busy. Another dealer in Huron, J & J sports is also a good place. Took my demo ride there. They inspected the sprocket ‘cause Johnny’s was swamped. Had a good discussion with the service guy about it. Johnny’s has done...

    2018 RTL-passenger and rider heated grips not turning off! Any ideas?

    Browns are adding to my gray hair, lol. What are ya gonna do though, they’ve been my team since someone else was wiping my nose. I remember my Dad on the roof fiddling with the antenna to get a good feed from Toledo when he couldn’t get the local station. Good idea from you as well on swapping...

    2018 RTL-passenger and rider heated grips not turning off! Any ideas?

    It’s always displayed the park brake and current gear light icons on shutdown. I considered that a normal display. I can test the relay tomorrow. Watching football off and on right now. I did swap it for another similar one from the other box and produced the same results. I wonder if the...

    2018 RTL-passenger and rider heated grips not turning off! Any ideas?

    Will not automatically turn off when ignition key is turned to OFF. I can also toggle the switches ON when the key is removed from the ignition. Driver and passenger grips will heat up. The passenger switch will light up as well. I noticed this issue last year when i last used the heated grips...

    D.I.Y. oil change o ring kit

    Spot on regarding the seals and torque. Any residual oil and you are basically lube torquing which will reduce the required torque. By what percentage, I don’t know. Need test equipment for that. I found this site to be a pretty good place to dig deep into all that is engineering. The...

    Oil Change 2015 RT-S - should I use ALL the kit oil?

    Tech writing is an under valued segment of industry. I was a designer/drafter and the lone tech writer for the company I retired from. Before me, the engineers were tasked with writing the maintenance/installation manuals. I pushed for and created the writing standards. I also hounded engineers...

    Reliability of the Spyder

    I’ve had just one recall issue with my 2018 RTL, the parking brake motor. I will agree with those on available dealer services and the techs that work on them. I’m guessing a lot of techs don’t ride Spyders. It’s a different species from a car or motorcycle. The dealer I have gone to also sells...
