• 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.

    Comparing how we ride our Spyders - what does your trip meter say??

    Like many, I use Trip A for my tank fill up record. Trip B is for multiday junkets, the latest D3WR, that was 4,086. What is important when on tour is that my touring partner's F3 has different gear ratios that cause his engine to run about 550 rpm higher in top gear than my RT. That means I...

    2026 Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally Accomplishment

    The big difference as I see it between D3WR and other rallies, many of which no longer exist, is that it is put on by a commercial activity while the latter have been conducted by Spyder centered activities, i.e., Spyder clubs/riding groups. Yes, there are select commercial entities, e.g...

    2026 Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally Accomplishment

    Yes, I am the sole owner and have put all the miles on it. I also keep records of all the work done on the roadster. I am fortunate that it had only one warranty claim, a parking brake motor replaced a bit over a year after taking possession. My B.E.S.T. extended warranty expired unused. I had...

    Is anyone else Running out of fuel like this?

    My touring partner has an F3 that in top gear runs about 550 rpm more than my RT. As a result I'm alert for refueling stops when my trip meter hits 140 - 150 miles. This system works well for us and gives old butts a break too.

    Having a blast, but have you noticed these Spyders Take an Effort To Ride?!

    I liken it sometimes to motorcycle sidecar racing with the exception being you're your own monkey.

    Are there any decent Sun covers for when Spyders are parked?

    Unexplained drained battery - anyone else? Any help/ideas?

    In both cases with replacement batteries I installed Yuasa YTX24HL batteries in which my multimeter said did not need charging but I still put them on the battery tender for 24 hours before starting the roadster and got better than 5 and 6 1/2 years, respectively out of them.

    Which Battery tender works best - OptiMate 3 or the Battery Tender Junior?

    The dealer I purchased my Spyder from comped a Battery Tender Jr. with the pigtail connected and I've used it religiously from Day One. I ride year round, got five years and one month out of the original battery and six and a half years out of the second battery so I've never had a need to...

    Just When You Think You've Seen It All...

    What astounds me is the fact that, and I don't care how many rolling sneakers and stoppers one has under oneself, when one leaves the domicile one hangs an invisible but nevertheless valid sign around one's neck that that says, "I am a potential death statistic." When one lays out the coin of...

    Confusing info in the users guide - am I missing something, or what?

    What he said!!! The 2014 Operator's Guide was an abomination with such crappy proofing as a picture of a 998 V-twin dipstick for the brand new 1330 ACE engine. They can't blame such shenanigins on the languages.

    Just When You Think You've Seen It All...

    This past weekend I copied the data from various spreadsheets I have for the Spyder to the Service History app on my Zumo 590. Amongst the standard items I deleted from the history categories was any reference to chain lubrication, air filter cleaning and tire pressure checking because the last...

    My Cruise control won't allow me to accelerate just by twisting the throttle - Is this normal?

    Fly by wire, no mechanical throttle linkage to right twist grip.

    Anyone tried to Waterproof an Ultimate Seat? Anything work?

    Have you considered contacting Motorcycle Dave, http://www.motorcycledave.com, (209) 887-3283, and asking his advice? I have a rain cover for my OEM Comfort Seat, and while it's a mite of a PITA to put on it has successfully gotten me through some frog strangling rainy days.

    Scored a 2023 RT today!

    Congratulations! Your new ryde isn't yet broken in. I agree with mecsw500 on the OEM exhaust; mine has done the job very well for almost 97K miles. Loud pipes save lives is one of those BS at the speed of light fallacies.
