• 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.

    battery issue?

    Hi fellow Spyder Riders. I own a left over 2012 RT SE-5. I purchased mine in Florida. Shortly after buying the Spyder I moved to Michigan (5 years ago). Whenever I wasn’t riding it I had it on a tender. After this past winter I tried firing it up to no avail. I suspect that the battery is...

    Battery life

    Dead battery on my 2012 RT Sir (or Ma'am), in early 2013 I bought a left-over 2012 RT in Florida. I then got a divorce and moved up to Michigan. I still have my OEM battery which was (in theory) on a battery tender. I have been here in Michigan for 5 years and never had a problem. I...

    new helmets?

    I have a full face helmet, my wife uses a 3/4 one. We have the SMH-10 comms systems and I just had one of the batteries replaced from SENA. I am hearing a lot of road noise from my wife's headset primarily because of the location of her mike, I use the button mike she uses the boom. I was...

    Radio Antenna

    My antenna broke off last year. I have the antenna. I don't plan on using the radio. Can I just remove the part that is still on the Spyder, smooth the rough end on the broken part then re-insert the slightly shorter mast? I have a 2012 RT SE5 with the audio package:ani29:

    My solution to using a Battery Maintainer...

    battery maintainer I like this thread. I had a stroke a few years ago (and after 3 separations from my 1st wife) but I bought my 2012 RT after I got out of the hospital. I received a Schumacher XM1-5 maintainer from a Rolling Thunder raffle before the stroke. Do I connect both leads to the...

    Any one ridding

    riders It looks like I am less than a weekend rider, I feel like the people that you only see at church once a year. When it isn't snowing up here in Michigan I try to get my wife out with me. I had a stroke a few years ago which took out the vision in my left eye. Bluebird is currently...

    Shorty Antenna compared to stock antenna ...

    replace oem antenna or what? My OEM antenna was 'broken off' by the wind (according to my nephew). The Spyder was under a tarp. I don't really use the radio very often. Can I just trim off the broken portion and shove in the remainder as compared to going out and buying a new antenna?

    Spare Key Replacement ...

    How/where do I get a replacement spare key for my RT-S? I now live in Michigan near Notre Dame Univ in Indiana. My new wife and I had to ride up to Dearborne Mi about 3 hours up the road to get my one key cloned. It took about 2 hours + $55. I bought the Spyder in St Augustine Fl complete...

    The Stupid "have you read?" thing

    The Stupid thing There is nothing to bypass. Just hit the Mode button when prompted. There is no 'switch' related to the manual being out and read. I 'own' a leftover 2012 RT and drove it and its trailer from Jax Fl to Michigan last year/
