• 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.

    INTERCOMS

    I am looking at the G4 over the Sena. I ride a KLR650 dualsport and my wife is the Spyder Ryder. The Sena recommends NOT using it in cold (condensation issues) or dusty areas. That just won't do for my offroad treks. The G4 touts use in rain, snow and dusty areas so that seals the deal for...

    Spyder J& M Audio System

    They have a 2 year warranty, so why are you paying for them? I have sent mine back and they sent a replacement the same day they rec'd it. Great customer service!!!

    Spyder J& M Audio System

    Everything you say is true. I've been an RF engineer for 30+ years. That said, after I matched my systems and getting poor results I had a 3rd party check it and they said it was matched about as good as you can get without changing anything. So I went with a Firestick NGP antenna because of the...

    Spyder J& M Audio System

    The audio system is top notch but the CB has a lot to be desired, it's not very useful at 60 mph and the range is very short. Too expensive for the CB being poor. I have it matched correctly and it just doesn't perform well. I think it's the noisy platform (wind and motor noise). For the bike...

    GS Rear Tire Mileage at Replacement ?

    So did they change the rim and tire combination? Or did they just move the whole wheel assy from one side to the other. The reason I think Baja Ron is asking is because the tires are directional.

    Noticed something wrong

    It's more than likely the relay. I had one go out on me. I actually had 4 bad relays in the past 2 years. Not the same location but the same type.

    What the hell did they do to my Spyder

    The miles/km's are stored in the cluster but the hours are stored in ECM. So if you replace the cluster the miles will be zero but the hours will be the same.

    Aerocharged Silver Dream...

    The clutch uses vacuum assist maybe you can tap into that unless you have done away with it. Maybe a small electric vacuum pump would work if you can't access any vacuum ports.

    Hey Lamonster (computer guru)

    Avery makes business card sheets that can be used in a normal 8.5x11 printer. I think there is 12 per sheet, maybe 10. You just tear them apart and the perforation is so fine it is hardly noticeable. You just need the information in a business card size and just copy into each cell on the page...

    Passing it on- Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) Update

    Thanks Lamont, My wife has not been very enthusiastic about riding the Spyder since this has come up. Before this had come up, she would make excuses to ride it everywhere but now she makes excuses why not to ride. It's an issue of mistrust due to lack of understanding, resolution and...

    Good News, Bad News

    Deb, I hope everything works out soon for you and Brian. The thing that absoluely amazes me is that Deb is a reconized and appointed Ambassador for the Spyder and they treat her this way.:shocked: I surely don't understand the marketing strategy by making Deb and Brian wait longer than...

    How Many Times Have you Broken down on your Spyder

    I had the same issue, multiple relay failures until I modified the fuse box and mounted higher power relays next to the fuse box for 2 of problem relays. No more problems. They are weatherproof relays and connectors. :2thumbs:

    How Many Times Have you Broken down on your Spyder

    I have been towed once. Bad relay. I have been brokedown a total of 5 times because of faulty relays. I have since fixed that issue. I got tired of buying and replacing relays so I upgraded 2 of the relays from the 20 amp relay to a 30 Amp weatherproof relay. It doesn't fit in the fuse box...
