• 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.

    Do you change the way you ride with a trailer attached? For safety??

    Right on EdMat! That could help solve a lot of folks' problems with bouncing trailers. Thanks

    Do you change the way you ride with a trailer attached? For safety??

    I recall seeing a shock absorber addition to an OEM Spyder trailer hitch mount somewhere. Damned if I can remember now where I saw that. Does anyone else remember seeing it?

    Has anyone else noticed excessive Right side front tire wear?

    Check the jam nuts on your tie rods.

    Has anyone else noticed excessive Right side front tire wear?

    Yep, you are toed-out all right. It's easy to check. Measure the distance between the tires on the front and on the back side. Getting a true measurement on the back sides can be frustrating, but it's doable. Check with BajaRon or Squared Away on the exact measurements. I believe toe-in should...

    Leak comes and goes? Shop did not find it. Help???

    Right front? Yep, that's exactly where my first and only leak occurred: a loose lower radiator hose clamp. Jack it up, or better yet, run it up on a couple of ramps and remove the front skid plate. That will give you a view to access the bottom of both redaitors and hoses. Take your radiator cap...

    Do you change the way you ride with a trailer attached? For safety??

    Crashing a trailer 500 miles away from home can be a very unwelcome experience. Make sure you have your credit and AAA cards with you when and if it happens. A couple on this site or another site (I don't remember which one) arrived home after a crash likely caused by pulling a trailer, without...

    Anti-Theft Locking License Plate Fasteners, which are best?

    To prevent that, cross hatch your sticker with a razor blade so that if they try to remove it, it comes off in little pieces. Also, don't allow your stickers to build up, one on top of the other. Those are the easiest to remove. Last I heard, in my State, DMV would replace a stolen sticker at no...

    Is the General Altimax RT45 a good Replacing rear tire for a 2017 Spyder RT Ltd?

    I have the 60R on mine and my spedo is within 1 MPH of my GPS. It appears that the 65R may be 3/4" taller and when my shock is totally compressed the 60R is about 1" from touching. It's too tight and close up under there to get an exact measurement. Maybe someone else on here has gotten a better...

    How do I go about getting new keys for my 2014 Spyder RT? Is there any way to get into a locked rear trunk?

    JFWIW, after a similar lesson, I have 4 cut, chipped, and programmed keys. One for my wife, one for me, one for the Spyder, and one at home. I also have two unchipped cut keys. I'm not ever going to go through that lost key thing again!

    Can anyone recommend a TPMS system other than FOBO?

    That's been my issue with them, but after you struggle to get them working like they should, they're a sweet addition to the spyder. Getting the app to work correctly (or easily) is a definite PIA! I texted them and told them about it. But no sympathy at all, oh well.

    Not having any luck finding a Trailer Hitch for my F3 S SM6

    Did a "broken trailer hitch" search here but this new platform won't allow copy and paste photos. Just written comments on the subject, lots of them.

    Oil leak at the filter - any suggestions?

    I'll second that motion!

    Not having any luck finding a Trailer Hitch for my F3 S SM6

    Keep a close check on those welds. That thing takes a hell of a beating. That's one of several reasons the OEM hitches are designed the way they are. JMHO, I'd rather see the hitch ball bracket on the inside of the frame and welded to the inside rather than the outside, but it is what it is...

    2012 RTS-SE5 engine shut down while riding, looking for possible causes - any ideas?

    Fuel supply issue & possibly a battery connection.

    See Something Amazing - Planetary Alignment from now until the end of Feb 2025!

    Could this planetary alignment be responsible for some of the recent clusters of earthquakes?

    Anyone have any good Headlight upgrade suggestions?

    I've tried researching LED's for my 2014 RT and there are enough different LED's out there to fill a shipping container to overflowing. I'd check with Baja Ron or Joe & Ann from Squared Away for their recommendations because I don't believe they sell LED's, they just install them.

    Disability Plates - Texas only allows 1 plate per Operator! Is the Law the same in your State? What's Your Opinion?

    Good reason to keep a valve stem core removal tool handy. Not that I've ever used one before, but I'm just say'n... LOL
