• 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.

    Bought a Primo 6x12 trailer today.

    I'm curious about why you wouldn't want to take the ride on the Spyder, up the Pacific coast would be epic.

    Delay in delivery

    The evil empire owns almost all of the dealers in the area, and they aren't known for customer service. The only other group on the phx area are lightly incompetent.

    How to tell when it is time to replace your battery

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QYS4KRM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 So far has worked pretty well for me and my herd.

    Stripped out handlebar bolt :(

    Drill off the head of that bolt, remove the rest of that cap. Use the torch to heat the 'stud' that's sticking up, that should break down the locktite. This will also cause the stud to expand and once it's cool, it will contract very slightly from the walls of the threads making removal much...

    Headlights, keyed. Why?

    You said you have LED lights all over this thing? Are they aftermarket lights? If so, I'm wondering if they were wired in, in such a way as they're feeding the headlights...

    MaptunerX

    It always amazes me how much higher octane other countries have in their fuel. 91 is as good as it gets here in Arizona

    Help with RPM's

    Talked to a GM engineer (I know different vehicle) his recommendation was to start the vehicle, and as soon as oil pressure is up, to get rolling on easy throttle. Getting it out of cold enrichment as soon as you can helps w/ keeping the fuel from washing down the cylinders. And when cold to...

    clutch-less shift

    You can do it. If you do it wrong you're gonna wear harder on parts like the syncros and shift fork pads.

    TOY HAULERS for the Spyder

    Have a 24ft Forest River. No real complaints yet. Only minor things. Pretty much all travel trailers, toy haulers, RV's are all crap quality. There may be a few minor exceptions but it's rare. It's more important to have a good warranty, and a good dealer if you don't plan to be handy yourself.

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    I did read it, and not sure what you're getting at. If it's about the amps causing damage - they will not cause damage if they are run at the speaker level - rather than trying to replace the factory ones. The factory equipment would have no notice of any change. Factory HU => factory amp =>...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    Wonder if using an aftermarket amp using speaker level inputs would work. So you pick up the signal after the factory amp and before the speakers. Shouldn't hurt anything on the bike. Would allow you to run the volume low enough to keep the stock amp clean - and pass on a clean signal to the...

    Has anyone compared the part numbers for the 17-18 amplifiers?

    Wheelchair mounting

    How long does that take you to strap up? Using the passenger peg was a pretty good idea, it looks like the front steer tire is a bit close to the ground, has it ever hit?

    They won't send me my license plate

    The state you bought from should have a regulatory group - possibly their DMV. You can try logging a complaint there. The business needs to be licensed in that state to conduct business...

    Ball Bearings & Metal Ring Found in Engine Oil During 3K Mile SVC - Help!

    All it takes is for one of those steel bb's to have hit a piece of aluminum just right for a crack to start. May be several thousand miles/months/years for that crack to propagate to the point where there's a big problem. There's no way to know what those bb's did on the way down to the pan...

    2018 & 2019 Spyders - Weak Signal and Speaker Crackling Noises

    LED lighting wont draw down the electrical system all that much. The only thing possible w/ those would be if they're using some kind of PWM controller on them. That could introduce feedback noise, but I suspect you'd hear that as a constant background noise any time they're on.

    No compression

    Not sure what this engine uses for cam chain tension but I'd prob consider replacing that assy, as well as the chain. You're in there, and know that something went bad..

    Ball Bearings & Metal Ring Found in Engine Oil During 3K Mile SVC - Help!

    Yeah, I'd push for a new engine on that. The metal ring is part of the bearing assembly. Something has gone bad in there and those parts getting slung around inside the engine for a couple of thousand miles has probably beat it to death in there. Not to mention there's something in there...
