• 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.

    Is there any place that sells Used parts for Spyders? Salvage yards/junkyards maybe?

    FYI, good confirmation before you buy is to have them post a photo of the part, part number if possible, and a post-it with your Initials and the date in the photos. Proves they're not just "selling" a photo that came from somewhere else.

    2018 RTL - looking for battery upgrade and replacement suggestions?

    I replaced mine with an Odyssey Battery PC680 Battery but see their price has gone way up. Lamonster Garage has several options for all Spyders if you want to support the host of our forum.

    RIP - GKAMER - A former Member here...

    T.P., thanks for sleuthing and reporting this, Greg and I had talked about visiting when I made my next Spyder trip to WA. He was very welcoming and a great source of inspiration and help. May he rest in peace.

    Harbor Freight 63397 motorcycle lift - high enough for sway bar install?

    You need the extra height, even that one doesn't go high enough as is for a sway bar removal. Make yourself a scrap add-on lift platform out of some OSB and scrap 2x6's or so, like this: . I do all the wrenching with the Spyder sitting on Jack Stands and with the jack stabilizing, break all...

    Are these Front OEM Shocks 'SACHS' Shocks?

    LarryD, you don't say for what Spyder in your original post, if you're talking about the 2014 RT front shocks, then Martin's H&R fit them, but the 'Baja Ron Front Shock Preload adjusters' - https://www.ebay.com/str/bajaronsmotorcyclegear will give you tremendous adjustability for less. I've...

    Anyone changed out the auto-levelling system on 2018 Spyder RT?

    If all else fails, consider contacting Marcus at M2 Shocks and have him fit you with a purpose built rear shock and spring that doesn't really need the airbag at all. I eventually did that on my '13 RTL and Marcus was great about custom setup for my shocks, that Spyder rode so much better after...

    Looking for 'increased load' shock suggestions - 2023 F3-S

    When I was in my 275lb to 300 lb days (no more since going keto) I had to replace my 2013 RTL's shocks with M2 shocks (Front and back) and both my wife and I loved those M2 shocks. Marcus quizzed me about our weights, riding style, and wants and we got a perfect set of shocks for a reasonable...

    2013 Spyder RT-S with faded switches - do I just need new switches?

    Though it only has 2600 miles on it, is it parked out in the SA sun all day? It's likely you'll have to buy the whole switch just to get those covers (unless someone's got a wreck for parts).

    Lift Jacks Revisited - what's a viable lift jack to SAFELY raise a Spyder?

    I have the HF PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE 1500 lb. Steel ATV/Motorcycle Lift for $139 USD and it's lifted 2013 RTL's, 2018 RTL's, 2022 RTL's, 2019 F3, and others. I've had to create a wood platform to sit on top of the rails to lift any of them up high enough to do a Baja Ron sway bar. But mine is...

    Latest addons to my trailer

    Kudos to your build ingenuity, love the use of existing RV door/hatches and hardware. Are you travelling with the water tank empty and filling up before stopping for camping or carrying the water tank full while traveling?

    Anyone changed out the auto-levelling system on 2018 Spyder RT?

    Wayne, I too replaced my '13 RTL's air bag system and eventually converted it to manual as above. I could not get my meaty hands in the spaces to make the change without removing the rear cargo package. It can be done, but not with Linebacker hands......

    Not a Spyder tool, Good luck and Merry Christmas, Google Images search couldn't even find it.

    Anyone else's Shift Linkage keep falling off? Any solutions?

    When this happened on my '13 RTL, even after purchasing a new shifter arm, I had to "open" the gap wider by sanding in between the two parts of the arm that the bolt goes through to clamp onto the shifter shaft (so it could clamp tighter). I did use a normal shop wire brush to clear the splines...

    Cat delete - my thoughts

    Davgill, just who or what were you disagreeing with? The last posts before yours was from 07/02/19 - 10/19/19 4 years ago??? No fumes on my '18 RTL with a BIW Cat Delete. Is your F4 windscreen vented and is the vent open? I went the extra mile and Titanium Header wrapped my front tuned pipe...

    Rotten ride yesterday - I hate wintertime!

    But at least you were riding! GK, now you've made me think of how to Gradient tint my inner smoke visor on my Schuberth C5..... Higher you go up the visor the darker the tint.... hmmmm going to look for one....

    Can you identify these RT foot-plates?

    Homemade ones that might cause the rain deflectors being ripped off, supposed to work like Pierre's ( CanAMSpyderAccessories.com ) The Floating Pegs https://www.canamspyderaccessories.com/rt-2010-2019-the-floating-pegs-black-with-black-edge/ But Pierre's have a much sturdier dual mounting support.
