• 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.

    PedalBox - sport mode makes no difference on set throttle - OK or not??

    Nanny engaged the outside brake today - what a strange feeling!

    The computer decided you were exceeding the safety parameters designed into the system. I don't always agree with them; however, they have saved my bacon on more than a few occasions .... and I consider that to be better than the alternative..... Mike :thumbup:

    Anyone else got Poor brakes on their Spyder? Any fixes?

    Just some thoughts about BRAKING performance ...... Spyders have a large advantage over TWO wheel MTC's .... the amount of rubber in contact with the road surface is IMHO the deciding factor. .... The rear tire alone has more contact than Both tires on a two wheel machine. All Spyders have ABS...

    What Max Temp Reading have you seen for ambient air on your Spyder?

    I'm Mike (the BLUEKNIGHT) who "chopped up his airbox" - but that wouldn't be my terminology for what I did. I removed the plastic intake plumbing to the Airbox (including the rubber Elbow) and replaced it with a short straight 3" tube which creates an un-cluttered straight shot into the box -...

    What Max Temp Reading have you seen for ambient air on your Spyder?

    The WHY they don't may be as simple as this ..... When you are in your car, it's enclosed (or can be) so you can heat the air or cool it .... you don't have that option on any Motorcycle. .... I don't understand why anyone needs to know the EXACT ambient air temp. ..... If you really want to...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    It's model # 44 UL09 was $20.95 @ Amazon with free shipping. Crutchfield has it for less but no free shipping. The Metra is relatively short, so you only need about 8 inches of space below the mounting point, and the speaker box allows that. You would have to remove the OEM parts and get an OEM...

    Seat Wear showing! Any comments about Seat Replacement and expected life?

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back over a decade ago, I bought a replacement seat cover for an '08 GS seat - didn't get to use it ..... I have a 14 RT with over 81000 mi. and there is some slight cracking in the same area as yours. However, the NYLON mesh (which is almost unbreakable) that the seat plastic is...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Well about years ago My OEM antenna broke, so I decided to prevent that from happening again. I bought a manual retractable auto antenna, and last year that broke also (my fault, it was fully extended and hit the overhead garage door). So I bought a replacement made by Metra, and I am...
