• 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.

    HowTo: Remote Garage Door Opener

    Very nice. I did something similar on mine. The only difference is my CDO (that's OCD with the letters in correct alphabetic order) forced me to use an OEM switch. I used a windshield switch to get the momentary contact and colored in the windshield graphic. That way it has the arrows on it...

    Got an Ez-pass? Where did you mount it on your Spyder RT ?????

    To be sure, I check it every once in a while. I used to keep it on the underside of the frunk lid, but I found that several of the local bridges were unable to read the transponder, mostly the Newburg Beacon Bridge and the Bear Mountain Bridge. Both of these bridges have had the toll booths...

    How do I play Zumo XT voice directions through Spyder speakers?

    I may not have been clear. I have two separate devices. I use an old android cell phone as the music source paired to the bike, just for the tunes. I can control this using the buttons on the bike to skip, pause or replay, as well as see the song and artist on the display. I have my current...

    Got an Ez-pass? Where did you mount it on your Spyder RT ?????

    I have mine here: Originally, my CDO (that's OCD with the letters in the correct order) placed the pass in the very center of the screen At speed, the wind funneling through the vent was enough to knock the pass off the mounting tape. Fortunately, I was able to catch it. I moved it off...

    Left the lights on, battery is Dead & won't charge! Any ideas??

    I'm coming late to this party, so I'm sure you've read this advice before. Spyders are REMARKABLY sensitive to the condition of the battery. If there is any doubt to the condition of the battery, just replace it as soon as possible. DAMHIKT

    How important are those front brake spring clips??

    How did you find out that you're missing a brake clip. It's not obvious unless you're diagnosing some kind of problem. I don't think the spring clips affect your ability to stop the Spyder. The clips keep the pads in place to avoid "chatter", so the brakes don't squeal during use. Three...

    Help! Trying to get a working intercom/audio to our Helmets?! SOLVED!!!!!

    Just echoing what others have said. You need to get better Bluetooth units. I had a pair of Sena SMH10s and the latency in the intercom, and the music dropouts became infuriating. I upgraded to Sena 20s and have been very happy. The SMH 10 have been reassigned to ski helmets where the latency...

    Any suggestions on USB ports for driver and pass heating?

    I just bought heated jackets from Cycle Gear. Each came with a 3ft pigtail. On one end, the pigtail has ring connectors and a fuse to connect directly to the battery. On the other end is a barrel connector that plugs into the jacket, similar to Gerbing. 3 ft was long enough to reach the...

    GPS - How do the Nav6 & Zumo XT compare? Impressions on either?

    I'm one of those geeks who always has to have the latest and greatest. I had the Zumo 660 and HAD to replace it with a Zumo 590 as soon as it came out. Then the Zumo XT came out, so I HAD to have that. The main difference is the XT has WiFi capability. Not much practical difference, I should...

    Can anyone recommend a Spyder Repair Shop in Homosassa FL

    I'm trying to find a good shop to fix front end issues with a 2015 RT. There's the wobble in the front end, I think it's the alignment. Thanks in advance for ay help.

    How do I play Zumo XT voice directions through Spyder speakers?

    I think I may be late to this party, so forgive me if I'm repeating existing comments from previous posters. The simple answer is: No, you cannot connect your Garmin XT to 2021 Spyder directly. Neither Garmin nor BRP have allowed for this. There is a work around. You can use a Bluetooth...

    VSS fault C1290 when starting again after a break - anyone else? Ideas?

    I agree with trikemurtha. Spyders are very sensitive to battery charge. There seems to be a run of bad batteries from Yuasa recently. DAMHIKT. With the engine off, your battery should be at least 12.4 volts. 12V just doesn't seem to work.

    Gas strut for trunk on the RT

    Hey, thanks for the throwback to the Flame War. I know they're uncivil, but sometimes I enjoy a good boxing match also.

    Baja Ron Sway Bar - Misplaced Spacer - any ideas for short term replacements?

    I imagine you could duplicate the spacer with a series of washers. You'll need a few small ones to fit right against the link and then one or two larger ones to fit against the bolt head. Just a thought, I could be wrong. On the other hand, Ron is very excellent, I'm sure he could get you the...

    New battery - could it be dead after just 1 year?! Any ideas?

    YES. Your battery could be prematurely dead. DAMHIKT.

    Can I remove the footbrake (I have a handbrake) on Spyder RTS.

    I'm not sure which system you have installed. The only hand brake I'm familiar with isn't a separate brake at all. It mounts to the foot brake lever and gives you an alternate way to operate the foot brake. Removing the foot brake lever will eliminate all brakes.

    Gas strut for trunk on the RT

    Figured it out. Thanks glorybiz. Great idea. For about $5.00 solved the problem. From the front of the trunk with the passenger back rest removed: Looking down the hinge well with the trunk open:
