• 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.

    Has anyone else's 2022 Spyder RT Limited made this loud noise? Any ideas?

    Is your driveway gravel?

    Is the Canyon Riding position narrower than the RT's? Enough to notice & stop cramping hips?

    I am 81 and have similar issues at times, and I just stop, get off, and walk it off. In May 2024 I did a 6 day 1850 mile repositioning/bucket list ride, and survived it. I may even ride the Spyder in my sig line from AZ to WA in the Spring of next year, if I buy the 2019 I am looking at.

    Can anyone identify this? Found on top of Piston #1 on a 2015 RT 1330

    That was a neat concept, for the Goldwing. I followed it when it was first introduced. However, like you have learned it requires a strong support company to make it viable in the long run.

    Need Help with an alert - what does this mean?

    Actually removing tupperware is more intuitive than posting pictures since the recent new hosting of the forum. :ROFLMAO: It's right up there with a newbe trying to make a Spyder steer straight out on the highway!

    Can anyone identify this? Found on top of Piston #1 on a 2015 RT 1330

    Is that #1 plug on the right? Looks like it was not firing correctly or way to much fuel. Thin tube on vacuum and see if you can suck the stuff off the piston. Clean canister on vacuum so you can inspect stuff that might come out.

    Let’s start a fad - passing Spider Rings (from Amazon) to other Spyders

    Here is a better idea...

    Having trouble wiring a Garmin XT, so should I just run it on its battery? If I do, will it still show traffic?

    Doesn't the 2014 have the same switched GPS power cable located behind the fuel tank?? Both my 2018 have/had it. Remove the right side tupperware back to the side case to access the GPS power. Both of mine had a dumbing plug in the connector. I just got rid of the plug and connected directly to...

    OEM Battery getting weak, need a replacement for both Spyder's - what's recommended/preferred?

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    My typical ride uses 4-5 gallons of gas. I stick the nozzle in around 1/2" in the small opening in the tank neck and let it more or less rest there. Holding the boot back and filling to the first spit back and I am done. Only takes a short time to put that much gas in it. So I do not understand...

    What is this part and where does it go?

    I am always amazed how a nut, bolt, washer or other small parts can go MIA in my 10x12' shed in Washington or 9x12' man cave in Arizona. When I work on the KRX SxS or trike in the gravel yard up North a put a tarp down and park on that to do the work.

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    Just hold it back with one hand and fuel with the other.

    Has anyone modified the brake pedal to make it easier to use?

    I put the wider brake pedal on my 2018 and removed it as my PN foot would get caught under it. Luckily, my 2021 F150 is not supposed to run into a vehicle ahead of it. :cool:

    2016 RT rear brake caliper piston wouldn't screw in - anyone else has run into this?

    Sounds like maybe OP has destroyed the threads, and will be looking at a new caliper?

    Will upgrading the Sway Bar and fitting larger tires improve the ride?

    You have to be careful on the 2020+ on front fender clearance. Improve the ride? It does improve handling and semi's will not blow you around as much. Better in the tweezes.

    What's the best way to get a spare key? Any suggestions?

    A locksmith can not program a replacement key for a 2014(?) or new Spyder RT. My in-laws bought a 2014, I picked the spare key from the dealer, took it to a locksmith to be cut, and back to dealer to program it to the remaining existing key. Loose both keys and the DESS module has to be...

    Up/Downshift Issues - I may have found the cause.

    It does relate to owning a trike vs Motorcycle.

    Up/Downshift Issues - I may have found the cause.

    I have PN in both feet thanks to Uncle Sam and AO in SE Asia, and could not hold up a two wheeler. However my USCG electronics training served me well all my working years.

    I found this pic from the 80's which leads to a tall tale.

    I wonder what happen to him when the USCG shutdown the Loran navigation station at Attu.

    Up/Downshift Issues - I may have found the cause.

    Old electronic tech's like us don't die early, we just short circuit once in a while. I still have a connector pin removal tool or two somewhere, if I could just remember where!
