• 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.

    Do Spyder Drive Belts age or wear out?

    I have a 2014 Spyder RT that has a little less than 5000 miles on it. Since the tires are now over 10 years old, I feel that I should replace them due to their age. My question is about the drive belt, do they age out or wear out? If the belt doesn't show any cracking or wear, then can I leave...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got the dreaded DESS warning this past weekend on my 2014. At least I got stranded in my garage! Spent today changing and relocating the module. Found enough wire in the harness to put it up by the coolant reservoir. Will be much easier to change in the future if needed.

    2014 RT Limited Left Front Brake Caliper Leaking.

    I hate it when people post about problems looking for information and then never share the fix or outcome. Not wanting to be that guy I'm going to finish my leaky caliper story. The shop in North Carolina that does the caliper work for my friends race car was able to rebuild my caliper. He does...

    2014 RT Limited Left Front Brake Caliper Leaking.

    During my quest to find a rebuild kit I spoke to a Brembo dealer, nice guy and he seemed to know his business. He said that there was an internal o ring that sealed the "crossover passage" between the caliper body halves. His claim was that if this o ring was bad then the caliper would leak out...

    2014 RT Limited Left Front Brake Caliper Leaking.

    Well Ron you are exactly right about the liability issue subject. When I called and talked to these folks about repairing the caliper the gentleman was hesitant at first because it is a motorcycle caliper and they are not a motorcycle shop. My friend does a lot of business with them and that may...
