• 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.

    News at BajaRon's - We Are Moving!

    Congratulations! Change is good! (Although as humans, we generally don't like change when it isn't our idea.) Presumably, still in Greenville?

    Is the BUDS/BUDS2 license Transferable?

    Yes, there is a process to transfer the MPI-3 interface and an attached license. The license is first associated to an interface, then ownership of the device. I've done it twice, once buying and once selling. As Jetfixer stated, you'll need to work with them (Powersports-diag.com) to make the...

    No Customer accessory circuits on 2026 F3 Ltd? Where/how can I connect accessories?

    About 10 years ago, I started adding a power relay for accessories. Tapped into a wire for the signal to energize the relay after the engine is started. That way all the battery power is available for starting, there's no parasitic drain on the battery, & it doesn't mess with current draw on the...

    Is there any Owner affordable BUDS?

    Affordable is a relative term. With the problems you are describing, that's a rather in-depth dealer visit. At $150/hr labor charge, it doesn't take much to get to a 4-figure bill. I bought my system in 2020. Our 3 Spyders never saw a repair shop: not only monetary cost but the time that the...

    Any advice on adjusting toe on the front wheels? Is the job doable without BUDS?

    When we visited the factory in 2017, now dated information, they used a simple fixed gauge to "set" the alignment. If all of the manufacturing tolerances were centered, perhaps this was GEMO (good enough, move on) for an assembly line. One important aspect using any method is to load the Spyder...

    Looking for Navigation options besides ACP - What do you recommend?

    If you are only in an urban, metro area, then a cell phone is adequate. But we like the roads best where there happens to be voids in cell phone coverage. The cell phone is a wonderful, and wonder-filled, tool; the 'do everything for everyone' type. That stated, those types of tools rarely excel...

    Is there a deflector to deflect heat from the engine away from the legs - F3-S

    Ride with long pants. And boots or shoes with socks. The coolant temp is close to 200F: when that air through the radiator hits directly against bare skin, it's scorching. Removing the Primary Muffler, a.k.a. the Cat, wont change the heat from the front of the machine while moving. It does...

    Has anyone tried an Automotive glass pack muffler on their RT?

    My wife had one on her v-twin. Her 2-Brothers self destructed on a road trip and we talked a muffler shop in MO to adapt the automotive "cherry bomb" style glass pack. It was very loud but lost the harshness in the tone.

    Nice People in Tennessee

    I think there are fine people all over this country; one just needs to get out of the big city rat races to find them. Like Greenville, TN, or Nixa, MO, or Roundup, MT. In the big cities, one does have to look harder.

    Are the Front shocks adjustable?

    At best, OEM shocks only had a spring pre-load adjustment; damping rates were not adjustable. The spring pre-load, the two rings in the threaded area on the shock, is hard to access with the shocks installed on the Spyder. That stated, front end alignment is highly dependent on the laden ride...

    Can anyone confirm the 2021 F3-S Rear Axle Nut Size?

    The axle nut size requires a 36 mm wrench.

    Why has the Mid-West become a Spyder Rally Wasteland???

    This list reinforces the OP's comment on the fly-over zone being devoid of said rally locations. That stated, I rode H-D for a number of years. I really enjoyed 3 local HOG chapters with their rides and activities. I went to a couple of big events such as H-D anniversary celebrations, Bike Week...

    Why has the Mid-West become a Spyder Rally Wasteland???

    10 Spyderfests. Whatever the number, the last was in 2019. I believe the first 2 were hosted out of Cuba at Cowtown USA. Len started Pitbull Powersports in Springfield, which then moved Spyderfest to Springfield, and I believe the MO Gang really got going. Over the years, the MO Gang busted...

    Anyone going back and forth from their Spyder to a motorcycle?

    No problems going to and fro the Spyder. They do ride and handle differently, as others have stated. The downside: I do miss the lean in the corners. The upside: I don't have to worry about the slippery, sandy blacktop road surfaces (especially in the deserts and Texas) in that same corner while...

    Shad SH58X Top Case - has anyone got one on their 2020+RT and added brake lights/turn signals?

    I added Givi Outback boxes to my 2015 F3-S. Then added strip lighting for RTB function. This is a snapshots from a movie showing the alternating light sequence. The first is turn signal "ON", the second is alternating step. I just used a flip-flop circuit; the LEDs draw low enough power to not...
