• 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.

    A part fell off the bottom of the bike

    A part fell off the bottom of the bike (catalytic bushing) While loading my spider onto a trailer today I heard a bit of a thump. When I got off to look under the bike this part was sitting on the trailer. It's about an inch and 3/8 in diameter and about 5/8 thick. Looks kind of like a bushing...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    It happened again, but I fixed it in a different way. 1. After 1/4 mile, the bike wouldn't shift up, so I limped the bike home; 2. I left the bike on, in neutral with parking brake on; 3. Every minute I tried to shift it into 1st; 4. After 7 minutes of trying, the bike shifted to 1st; 5. I...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    My bike continues to do this. I've had it to the mechanic (Faye Meyer in Denver) and they said they couldn't make it happen, but didn't say how hard they tried. He also cleaned the left hand controls. I have been unable to perceive any pattern to when it happens. It's about 1 in 5 rides on...

    What are you all using for Phone Holders on the handle-bars?

    RAM Mounts RAM-HOL-UN10BU X-Grip Large Phone Holder - It holds my Galaxy S23 Ultra with a gorilla case. I've used X-Grip since about 2007 on my wing and it held even some massive bumps and dips through the years and many phones and holders.

    Anyone purchased a Stinger spyder trailer? After buying info...

    My trailer is a couple years old and works different from the video shown. I don't have the 4 tie downs on my trailer that he shows, and my tongue jack is the generic style you buy from any autoparts store that bolts to a rectangular tongue, so it won't just unpin from the frame. When I tie...

    Anyone purchased a Stinger spyder trailer? After buying info...

    No wonder I couldn't find it, it's unlisted. Thanks for the link. I don't think I'd spend $500 on that winch just for the trailer, but I might spend $50 for a harbor freight trailer winch. I'd mount it to a receiver and put a pulley on the ceiling. As for a multi use trailer, I would love to...

    Anyone purchased a Stinger spyder trailer? After buying info...

    I've watched all the stinger trailer videos I can find and never seen that. Could you post a link or a hint about what the video title was?

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    I had this happen again yesterday just minutes after starting the bike. Again, couldn't shift up at all. Checked for fault codes and found none. Shut down for 5 minutes then restarted and everything works fine.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    When you say "doing the same thing" do you mean it would only shift down and wouldn't shift up, but turning the bike off for 5 minutes would fix the problem? After 10+ more hours of riding, I finally had this happen again. Couldn't shift up at all, but after turning the bike off for 5 minutes...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    I pulled out my endoscope and peeked up under the bike to get a picture of the sprocket. It sure looks white to me (aka not the final fix sprocket). The mechanic "assured" me that I had the final fix and didn't need to schedule a follow up. Don't get me wrong. I'm ecstatic to have my bike...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    According to my dealer, I had the "Final Fix" drive sprocket installed about 1 month ago. I think that most people are talking about how long until they get their final fix sprocket.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    No star washers. I'll double check whether it's tight. Mods were made 2 years ago when I bought the bike. I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with the physical switch because I can switch into and out of reverse (both directions work), but I can't shift from neutral to 1st. So it's got to be a...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed - 1 1/2 years and $1200) 2 times now, I've been riding and suddenly find that pushing the "shift up" paddle, doesn't actually shift up. I didn't see anything flash on the screen, didn't hear funny engine or drive train noises. I just can't upshift. Each time...

    Who Out There Has Gotten The Replacement Sprocket?

    I had mine replaced a few weeks ago. I have about 1,500 miles on the new one. I've been riding any day that's over 40 degrees. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?148595-Red-Dust-of-Death-Recall-Front-Sprocket-Recall-FINALLY&p=1652315&viewfull=1#post1652315

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Google has the ability to download offline maps. You just draw a rectangle and google with save navigation data onto your phone so you can plan routes without internet access. Google is fine if you don't care about the route or the roads you ride. If you want to hit specific roads and routes...

    Sprocket Final Fix Update from Shawn Smoak

    Most people have the red dust and a loose sprocket. It's a whole different thing when the sprocket completely fails and leaves you stranded without any drive. I'm the only one my mechanic had seen with a complete failure.

    Front Sprocket Repair available? Not the 'Interim Fix'!

    I got my 2019 Spyder RT Ltd back last week. Supposedly with the final warranty repair sprocket. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?148595-Red-Dust-of-Death-Recall-Front-Sprocket-Recall-FINALLY&p=1652315&viewfull=1#post1652315

    How to reduce the loud knock when you put it in first gear?

    You know, I asked about the clunk 2 years ago when I bought the bike. "It's no big deal" everyone said. Then my drive sprocket stripped out and left me in the middle of a major highway leaving me with no drive power. And here you are asking "What about the big clunk"? "It's no big deal"...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    First ride since getting my Spyder back from warranty repair. Last week the avg temperature was in the 70s. This week is in the 40s, but I've been without the bike for 3 months and just can't wait for warmer weather.

    Anyone purchased a Stinger spyder trailer? After buying info...

    I bought a Stinger from a friend. I have no idea where he bought it. I got the impression he had to go get it. I've used it about 4 times now. Easy to load and unload the bike. Great to store all folded up against the back wall of the garage. Not great for folding and unfolding. I can...
