• 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.

    Anyone ever found corrosion inside their fuse box; what’s the solution?

    Once the corrosion is cleaned up, I recommend Caig Deoxit (available at Amazon or Digikey) by the drop on each contact to try to prevent reoccurrence. It works on the old radios I play with.

    Props for Pops

    Cory from Spyderpops is first-rate. I wrote them an email about wanting to buy the amber front fender lights, but being concerned about the reported early failures. He called me on the phone to discuss it. As a result, I ordered the amber lights as well as red lights for the fenders and...

    '22 RT glove box USB won't charge iPhone as GPS - any work around?

    The last time we waltzed down this path, the problem was that the front USB socket did indeed provide current, but not enough to keep the IPhone charged. That is, a net loss all the time the phone was on. I second the idea of installing a separate USB charger jack.

    Any Hints to make New Battery Installation easier? 2016 RT

    I stand by my original statement. No matter how skillful, experienced or licensed the lady is, it's still easier to point at the problem and say "Fix this, Charles". Not necessarily better, just easier.

    Brake light coming on without braking while riding - any ideas/help?

    First thing is to check the positioning of the brake light switch. It has two big nuts on it that permit it to be adjusted front-rear or more sensitive-less sensitive.

    Is there a reason people seemingly don't research correct prices?

    I know what you mean, Mr. Ken. Logically a tricycle should cost 1.5 motorcycles. But a running Honda Goldwing is being advertised near me for $2500. If I told my CanAm dealer I wanted a Spyder for $3750, he'd bust a gut laughing.

    Will Charging the Camper's Battery off my Spyder overload the Alternator

    Easy but important question: What size fuse did you use? And what size wire? From memory, #14 wire is good up to 15 amps, #12 for 20 amps, and #10 for 30 amps. Beyond 30 amps I despair for the life of the alternator. Hopefully you used auto or marine wire rather than house wire. House...

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    Two things: The belt tension will go to zero if you jack up the cycle enough. If you do this, disconnect the linkage for the air-ride suspension height first, else you will break it. IMHO wheels on the ground is the only sensible place to measure tension.

    Oil analysis @ 3 years & 9500 miles.

    I think Mr. Idaho did just right. Watch the oil as it goes through its life, come to the manufacturer's change interval, change it anyway.
