• 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.

    This Helmsman fell asleep at the helm!

    Containership hit land doing about 15 knots and almost hit a house here in Norway. As a crane operator (now retired) I handled a lot of units on this ship, but then it had a different name and was owned by another company. I feel sorry for the guy at the helm, and I hope he is not punished too...

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    Not in my case, 'cause then it would have to have vibrated off and back on only the two on top. That is just impossible. And btw, I've now got a frunk light! :eek:

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    This morning I found why the solenoid was not working and never had for as long as I have had the bike. (Factory new, but bought in 2015) I suspect the issue was due to factory worker not connecting the frunk micro switch properly. As I pulled all the plastic around the headlights and had a...

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    Neat and simple solution there @Gwolf . And I agree, the key - wire solution is not optimal for sure. I will mount an emergency cable during the weekend, just to be safe.

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    Hiya @BlueSliver I have the double switch also, but it is probably broken on the "frunkside".

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    Thanks for usefull info @Peter Aawen Pulled out the connection for the solenoid and used an old car battery to test the solenoid. I might do a new seperate power circuit if I am bored one day ;), but for now I will just use the key.

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    It does have an electric solenoid, but since I bought the Spyder in 2015 it has never worked. The wire operated by the key is working fine still, the seat wire is not functioning and replaced by a manual wire hidden in the glovebox. My 2012 has the combined parkingbrake/frunk switch on the left...

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    I have read several threads and as I understand the switch for the parking brake/frunk is usually failing on the frunk side, while the parking side keeps working. I got the opening solenoid, but nothing happens when I press the switch. Will replacing the switch be the most easy solution? I was...

    Does a Spyder RT base have a radio? If so, where is it?

    Does a Spyder RT base have a radio? If so, where is it?

    Hi and welcome to the forum and congrats on your new ride. On my 2012 RT the radio is placed under the plastic by the passengers right grip. I found a picture and drew a red dart for you, hoping they haven't found a new place for it.

    Some video shots from a roundtrip in the county.

    Yesterday's weather was too good for just sitting inside watching the reruns on tv ;) So I decided to take the RT for a spin. You can tag along here: Roundtrip in the county A picture from the "pitstop", needed some shade:

    Rear ACS/suspension on 2015 RT seems to have failed - anyone else? How did you address it?

    I have had the same issue with my 2012. In my case I could hear the compressor running, but no air came to the bag. I decided to dig out the compressor (there's a lot of stuff to remove) and it turned out the issue was a broken axle from the motor to the piston rod, so the piston was not...

    First ride this spring.

    Thank you. They used to be tunnels for the train back in the days, but now it is a nice scenic ride.

    First ride this spring.

    Weather was great and temps on the high end for this time of year. I took my 360 cam with me and recorded some now and then during the ride. I am no film director, but I hope you like the view at least.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Went to the collect my Spyder at a local Mc shop and finally got it out of hibernation.(y) When I got there the Spyder was parked outside and was still wet from the wash, great service. It started up like normal and the 15 minute ride home was enough to get the oil warm and level checked in the...

    Do I just keep pumping with Speed Bleeders until the line fills up?

    You probably have normal type of bleeders like most calipers. Speedbleeders are smart bleeders that you can buy and replace your standard bleeders with. Here you see the smart thing about them, you can open them a little and not worry about air getting in when you have taken the foot of the...
