• 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.

    Shifting, semi-automatic

    It's healed! In typical Spyder fashion, I started it up this morning, took a ride and it shifted perfectly! We all know that sometimes "they" do that. Thanks for all the input! Really appreciate it.

    Shifting, semi-automatic

    I just did an oil change for the year on my 2010 RT with the semi-automatic. Changed both the oil filter and the transmission filter, started it up and have no leaks. I let it warm up, put it in reverse, backed out of the drive and shifted into 1st. Went through 1st and 2nd but when I tried...

    Vee Rubber VTR-350 Arachnid

    Vee Rubber I put a Vee on my 2010 RT last year and now have about 4000 miles on it. YMMV since I got 13,000 out of my Kenda and I might just be the exception. I think one of the big keys is the air pressure. My dealer said 25 cold and that's what I've done on both tires now. As for the...

    Plugs, etc...

    I have a 2010 RT-S with the v-twin that has a little over 17,000 miles on it. I've never replaced the plugs or the wires but I'm thinking it's about time to do so just out of caution. It still runs great, always starts (I hope I'm not jinxing myself) so I've just not bothered. Thoughts on...

    sat ride jax to palatka fl

    Palatka... My old childhood memories of summers there. Had relatives that lived on Husson Ave. right off Silver Lake Drive. I someone asked about how Palatka had changed...well, not for the good. Other than the St Johns and Ravine Gardens there's not much to brag about. The town has...

    Setting favorites on radio....

    OK, I've played with this thing enough and need some advice on how to set "favorites" on the radio on my 2010 RT. When I bought it there were two stations preset and I've tried to add another but I'm having no luck. Some expert step by step if someone would be so kind. Thanks!

    The Nanny....?

    The Nanny... Started it up, warning light still flashing and rode down the street. I had some initial hesitation like the limp mode was going to continue...but then it cleared up and the light went off. Warmed it up slowly and then opened it up..flawless. Came back and just as I was going to...

    The Nanny....?

    Nanny... OK, I just checked and the "limp" is still on. Checked the codes and it's showing P1171 and P0524. Both have to do with the fuel/injection system. I'm guessing the angle of lowering the machine may have triggered something because other than the codes it's running fine. Now I...

    The Nanny....?

    Nanny... It's a 2010 RT and to be more specific, when I let the jack down the left side came down before the right..nothing major, but the bottom line is it didn't come down level. I only mentioned it because it's the only variable I can think of that might influence the "nanny". I didn't...

    The Nanny....?

    I changed my oil and filters today and all went well...4.5 qts looks pretty precise to me. But, here's my question. I jacked up the trike and when I let it down one side was lower than the other. All well and good right? So when I start up the limp mode is on as is the flashing engine light...

    Fully synthetic oil

    The never ending story... Ready to change oil and filters for this year so I began searching around for the oil. I found a six pack of Valvoline 10w-40 full synthetic motorcycle oil on Amazon for $37.80 and tax, shipped for free. Also watched the attached youtube on a comparison of the cold...

    Tires...the never ending story.

    I had my Spyder inspected yesterday for the annual state "ripoff" and the VeeRubber Arachnid rear tire installed by my dealer. In the conversation he said that he had been approached by the rep for VeeRubber to carry their tires which he had not yet done. He does carry the Kenda brand and as...
