• 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.

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    I don't hear the sound constantly or everytime its running, but when I am able to hear it, it's typically at start up. It could be there through higher rpms, I dunno. I removed and replaced the original battery last year with one of higher quality.

    Anyone tried Washing/Cleaning the Pads from inside a helmet?

    This conversation energized me to take care of our smelly liners. I removed them and hand washed in a sink, rinsed thoroughly then hung to dry in the garage. I wear a skull cap 99% of the time and was somewhat surprised at how dirty the wash water was afterwards.

    I applied some leather cleaner/conditioner to the seats for the 1st time. Man, did they need that!

    Following... you've perfectly described the noise that's coming from up front on our Spyder as well.

    Hi Deanna, I should probably edit my comment a little bit. We'll be in the Finger Lakes area of New York. Sorry for the mislead.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Gave it a much needed wash a couple of days ago then parked it. Today it got a nice coat of wax and a buff. Everything is prepped for our 10 day trip through Ontario and Up State NY.

    2024 F3T vibration at 3800 to 4000 rpm - any ideas?

    Love that closing comment! Lmao. Just wanted to add a little nugget that the vibration I dealt with was within a given rpm range, regardless of the gear or speed. My belt was way too tight, and the rear tire air pressure too high. I reduced both and problem was completely resolved. I'll look...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Replaced front brakes pads and rotors, then got em bedded in. I'm very happy to be done with the warped OEM rotors.

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    We're hoping the wild fire smoke won't be so bad that we have to change plans and direction.

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    There are a lot of great responses here, thank you all very much. The ramp angle is my greatest concern and it sounds like shore to lake access should be relatively straight forward. Since reservations are required, I'll do a final confirmation when I call and speak to them. You guys rock with...

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    We're planning a 10 day ride and considering taking the ferry across Lake Erie from Sandusky, OH over to Pelee Island and then on further to Leamington, ON. I found an older thread, last used in mid 2023, where some people shared their experiences of traveling by ferry but I'm expressly...

    Here's how to check your Spyder's coolant tank level.

    2023 RT S2S For those who haven't stumbled across this yet, the easiest way that I've found to definitively check the coolant level is very simple but it requires a small, bright flashlight. Remove the access cover Below the headlights; Turn your flashlight on and rest the lens directly against...

    Any other bald riders? Know of any caps with minimal or 'soft' seams that won't leave obvious impressions on my head?

    I hear ya! I keep a ball cap at the ready when it's sunny.

    Any other bald riders? Know of any caps with minimal or 'soft' seams that won't leave obvious impressions on my head?

    I wore these at work when I was a younger man and had hair. Ha! They're very effective for the hot work you described.
