• 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.

    The Abyss Entry

    It has never happened to me but it could happen to any of us whenever we go to put the key in the ignition and there is a whoops moment.

    The Abyss Entry

    Has anyone come up with a solution to cover the abyss entry around the steering column, or is this necessary to help ventilate the abyss?

    horn button

    Oh Bob, only you. I dont know. Some actuator that is larger and is more visable. The battery kill switch for example is in a panic mode area for a switch that is never used. Maybe even in the hub like a car horn which I'm sure some riders have tried honking that peace of crap that no one else...

    horn button

    Has anyone ever installed a separate horn button, larger and in a less cluttered area on the handlebars. Its bad enuff looking for that stupid little tab during the day but at nite when your attention is focused on what you are going to blow the horn at it can be dangerous. I've heard of new...

    I hear ya bro. I ran the same gauntlet in a squad car and ambulance. Nothing is foolproof when you are among fools.

    Where's Phil Burk at. His bike is lit up like the 4th of July.

    MC Crash

    Well, I dont know what to tell you about the LEDs. I'm no guru in that area or in any other area for that matter. Irregardless, this thread is about protection and safety on the road. It cannot be emphasized enough. No no new news on the riders condition. Last I heard he has many surgeries in...

    MC Crash

    Perhaps I should have said SOME LED's will upset the Nanny. Refer to a YT by Shawn Smoak who was talking about the subject. All the LED's advertised on SL are compatible that I am aware of. Those purchased at a auto parts store may create problems.

    MC Crash

    You are referring to the headlight modulator. Get those things in your rear view mirror for awhile and you'll go crazy. But they do work well.

    MC Crash

    Three days ago there was a horrific MC crash on Main St Barstow in front of the Foster Freeze. The car was at fault according to witnesses. He did not yield to the oncoming MC and turned into his path resulting in the rider T-Boning the car. Witnesses claim the sun was not in the drivers eyes...

    Harness

    Just a little update. The trailer hitch harness has a 9 pin plug on it but only 4 wires coming from it. HUH? There's a SL member in Georgia who's been working with me and reports this does not agree with the BRP wiring diagram. I have the 2011/2012 622. Frustrating. Anyone else out there have...

    Radio problems

    No, I've never ridden with him. We only met about three weeks and became FB friends. I do not know how many times this has happened nor where. I do know that a dealer has witnessed it but no diagnostic machines were on hand to determine its origin. Until they do they are at a loss like everyone...

    Radio problems

    Thats a good question. On AM you would get a lot of static under a power grid. He lives in Lake Havasu and he commented an hour into the ride. Not so much FM. But why would the volume suddenly jack up?

    Radio problems

    He's riding the bike when it happens Bob. Maybe a hour after he's in the bike

    Radio problems

    A new Spyder friend of mine has had a problem with his radio suddenly getting loud with static after an hour of running. This is an inconsistent thing. He has a 14 RT. Dealer says they can't do anything until they witness it. Any ideas?

    HERE'S A FIRST

    You handled the situation correctly. You did not allow the situation to become a problem. Now to the subject of Alz. My mom died from it after a 1-1/2 year battle, as did her mom and three of her sisters. They were all in their 70's. Now in the boomer generation we are living longer with better...

    Harness

    I dont know. Shawn did say there was a safety factor. Probably the module. I know nothing about the Brembo. We are just basically running an extension cord to the trailer lights. Now it's a federal case. Geze Louise!

    Harness

    According to Shawn Smoak, a MC mechanic and Spyder tech up in Washington and has done many Spyder YT videos, the parts need for the bike include the connection module (710 003 198), Module Harness (710 003 200), and the Hitch Harness (710 004 272). In addition the trailer tongue harness needs to...

    Harness

    Maybe the size is pretty much standard for a MC but the reason BRP is using a 4 pin connector, as stated on their parts webpage, is to make it compatible for a cage which is usually 2 in.
