• 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.

    Springtime Pre-flight Inspection - don't skip over the first brake fluid change!

    May even have to change more often than every 2 years. The fluid in My 2023 RTL was significantly degraded at 2 years https://www.spyderlovers.com/threads/brake-fluid-in-reservoir-above-the-seal-anyone-else-seen-this.161495/

    Only One Oil Plug on 2024 RT?

    If they didnt drain all the oil, then maybe they overfilled it????? Hope not!!

    Another close call! I need more reflective striping!

    I installed the BRP floorboard lights and one segment failed after few months. Replaced under the 1 year warranty. They are definitely bright and provide great side visibility, day or night.

    Fuel rail pressure gauge connector. Anyone know the fitting type?

    I should have provided more context for my question. On my first 2 oil changes there is fuel in the oil (https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?156047-RTL-Initial-amp-now-2nd-oil-change-analysis-results) One potential cause is a leaking fuel injector, so I was looking to see how to...

    Fuel rail pressure gauge connector. Anyone know the fitting type?

    Any Spyder mechanics know how to connect a pressure gauge to the fuel rail? Ie. what type or size of connector? This is what we have in our shop kit.

    RTL Initial & now 2nd oil change analysis results

    Hi Andy I definitely agree about using good quality oil and gasoline. I always try to use a "Top Tier" gasoline (eg Shell) and always 91 octane. I have the manual for the RTL and noted that I would need a special fuel hose adapter and maybe the compatible pressure gauge for several 100 dollars...

    RTL Initial & now 2nd oil change analysis results

    I agree fuel dilution reduces viscosity. I'm not too worried about 2% but will not go too long between changes until I have more analysis data. (Being an engineer - I've got to have data!!!) Very few people get their oil analyzed, but there was a couple of people who did, and they also had fuel...

    RTL Initial & now 2nd oil change analysis results

    The RF was done last and looked the best. so I suspect all the old fluid was mostly purged out of the lines?

    Brake fluid in Reservoir & above the seal - anyone else seen this?

    Photos of the fluid from the reservoir and wheel circuits. Definitely will have to check the reservoir fluid for contamination a lot more often!! Speed Bleeders worked great. Photo order is Reservoir, LF, Rear, and RF.

    Brake fluid in Reservoir & above the seal - anyone else seen this?

    Thanks Ron That was the first flush after purchase in 2022. The cap had never been removed from when it was installed at the factory, unless the dealer opened it for a pre-delivery inspection. Speed bleeders installed and all circuits flushed clear. Jim

    Brake fluid in Reservoir & above the seal - anyone else seen this?

    Doing a 2-year brake fluid flush and when I took the cover off, there was some fluid above the seal. I didn't expect to find fluid here, which seems to indicate the reservoir was not sealed tight. The fluid in the reservoir was quite dark, which indicates it was exposed to the air. I used a...
