• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Your profile says you're from Texas, but you don't own a boot dryer? :LOL: The lining of my HJC helmet is removable.

    CarPlay Froze, then entire Head Unit Froze Up While Riding, then supposedly updated and rebooted on the Highway - Anyone else had this happen?

    Usually you have to specifically tell it to check for updates, so that is odd. But if it was bluetooth paired to your phone then it might have used it's connection to download an update? Yeah, I'm grasping at straws. Did you check to see what version it's running now? I believe BRP Connect 4.1...

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    The Operators Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT says the same thing: 5W40 synthetic blend oil But the CAN-AM XPS oil change kit for Rotax 1330 ACE engine that's in my Spyder is labeled as full synthetic. As long as it's the correct viscosity, either will work.

    Rear Trunk Box not Locking/securing the trunk, despite the dealer adjusting it to the fullest - Any ideas/guidance/suggestions?

    Yes, that's the video I saw.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Found a post here or somewhere else, I don't remember, about the lock/latch on the top case needing to be adjusted. If the latch wasn't correctly adjusted you could "bump" it with the palm of your hand and the top case would open, even if it was locked. I tried it and it happened on my top...

    Forum IT Support Question - how to remove "Spoiler" text from BBCode spoiler

    So, umm...I've been a bit confused by the stated initial reason for trying the "spoiler" code. All of the signatures I see that are "long" are already collapsed. I see a few lines of the signature and a "toggle signature" link that when clicked expands the signature. Which is why I'm confused...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    That it seems to work when the battery tender is connected makes me wonder if you have a battery problem? Are you running the original battery that came with your Spyder? I killed mine by accidentally leaving the key turned on overnight, so I ended up buying a replacement from Batteries Plus...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    Okay, so I'm back from my ride. I selected the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store at 635 S. Cumberland St, Lebanon, TN as my destination. I have my iPhone set to avoid interstates, so the main route was State Road 70N. Speeds varied from 55 MPH down to 30 MPH as I passed through some of the small...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    I just checked, and my iPhone SE is also at 18.6.2. I haven't ridden in a couple of days, but will be going out tomorrow and will try to remember to post after the ride.

    Your Weather News @ August 2025 Edition

    Here in Tennessee, we finally have a week or so of nice weather. Highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s °F and mostly sunny. I've got errands to run this morning that can't be accommodated by my Spyder, so it'll be this afternoon before I can ride. A group of local riders is planning a "short"...

    2010 RS SE5 with 300 miles. Yes, actually less miles on it, but it won't start! Please help...

    I was pondering this a bit more, and another option for the injectors wiggled it's way into my tired brain. And Google provided a possible answer, at least in my neck of the woods: https://cleaninginjector.com/tennessee-fuel-injector-cleaning/ They do have a list of injectors that they will...

    2010 RS SE5 with 300 miles. Yes, actually less miles on it, but it won't start! Please help...

    A bit of time beating up on the Google search engine, and I identified two possible part numbers for the fuel injectors on a 2010 RS SE5. 420874488 (and maybe 420874487) I found two websites that listed the 420874488 part number. One of them has a list of the models that that part fits, and...

    Are Color Matched Rear Top Panels available anywhere?

    When I bought my 2024 Spyder RT S2S it came with a large, flat box - think extra large pizza sized box. In the box was the driver's backrest and the hardware to install it, and... a color matching rear top panel in case I wanted to take off the top case.

    Do Tinted Helmet Visors diminish your ability to see out in the dark/night?

    I haven't had any fogging issues. The HJC C91 has an adjustable vent on the front and another adjustable vent on the top. With both open you can feel the wind passing over your face.
