• 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.

    Electrical help...please!

    When you buy a battery from Amazon it will usually have the acid in a container in the box with instructions on filling and nuts and bolts and possibly a breather tube. The battery is dry charged when you get it but usually does not have acid in it as it is illegal to ship a filled battery as...

    Completely pointless quiz!!

    I thought at first it might might be in England, but the car is driving on the left as in most of the world. Then the Spyder has US flag stickers but that is not a definitive answer either! In Canada we have Kms too! So maybe some where on the Great Lakes maybe. The circular stone tower is...

    Triple bypass

    My father in law had a triple bypass he was very weak for six months but his breathing was better but the meds kicked the s]-[it out of him. Part of the slow recovery was that they took arteries from both legs to patch the damage around the heart valves so both legs had to heal too and because...

    POWER OFF BATTERY?????

    When considering fitting any accessory sockets ensure you have a decent ground and you install a fuse and a switch and a solenoid capable of taking the amperage of the heated garments. The fuse should be capable of carrying the amps but remember the fuse is to protect the circuit so don't fit...

    Electrical help...please!

    All motorcycles and I'm including Spyders loosely here, have sensitive electronics. Jump starting one using jump leads from a car is asking for trouble. Relocating your fuse was reckless but you know that now! The tenders or maintainers are just used to top off your aging battery and don't give...

    How much oil do you use?

    It's a curious thing the term "tolerances" in engines. Honing is a process used to finish the bore of a cylinder to remove any ridges after the bore has been performed. Usually honing is used to bring the bore to it's final measurement. It creates a uniform light cross hazing on the bore...

    Problem with brakes or front wheels or ?? I need as much help as I can get

    Hopefully when you reassemble it all will be fine. Very often when you hit a tope, sleeping policeman or road hump depending what country you are living in, at speed it can disturb or even distort one of the steering components. Sometimes something as simple as loosening off all the components...

    fuel mileage - performance -- reg. fuel vs premium fuel

    When I lived in Europe you could "feel" the difference between certain brands over others. Sometimes it was engine tone and sometimes a roughness at certain speeds.. These days I prefer Chevron regular over Shell, why, the machine feels better using it in my opinion! I have tried a lot of...

    What does the average Spyder Owner pay for insurance in Canada?

    No Spyder yet but here in BC I pay just under $1100 for my 25 year old GL1500 Wing. I've been riding for 45+ years no accidents.

    2016 Spyder...what's your guess?

    My local dealer suggested that I wait until the new flavours are exposed next week before putting my readies on a mark [emoji3] now I'm not sure if that means there will be a new selection to feast the eyes on or an affordable intermediate model or that with the new selection it will lower...
