• 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.

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    LMAO When I turned 16, I rode my motorcycle to the DMV office, and my Dad brought the car so I could take both driving tests at the same time. The officer giving the tests didn't have to ask how we got them there, he already knew. ;) 🤣 🤣 🤣 :cool:

    Actually, that's a rocket motor, but still a joke of an ad. 🤣

    Are you using Tie down straps to secure a Spyder with e-track in an enclosed trailer?

    I have a 28' Intech ICON trailer. It has heavy duty tie points for the car, as well as several rows of e-track along the length of the trailer. I'll be carrying my Spyder along with my race car, using the e-track to tie the bike down. I dislike the tire straps. I plan to add eye nuts to the...

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    In VA, you can ride any 2 or 3 wheel vehicle with a Class M endorsement. They also have a 3 wheel only endorsement if you don't already have the Class M. I took my motorcycle test at the same time as my original driver's license test, so I've never had a license without Class M.

    Anyone have Dynojet Power Vision results for comparison?

    Well, I've done a few rides with the PV4. I started with a canned Dynojet tune, collected some logs and sent them to Fuel Moto. The canned tune made a noticeable difference in power and throttle response. Fuel Moto quickly sent me a modified tune, which improved things a bit more. I also...

    Thinking of getting a floor jack - how hard is it to find the right place to lift?

    Doesn't look like either of those will drop low enough to clear a Spyder. The lowest one has a minimum of 4.5".

    Thinking of getting a floor jack - how hard is it to find the right place to lift?

    The park brake only locks the rear. If your floor is level, chocks aren't necessary for just adding air. If you're on an uneven surface, even a couple pieces of 2x4 will work. Check your frame clearance. If it's over 3.5" this jack should work...

    Need to replace 2013 left lower side panel - can't get my Lava Bronze color, only Black. Any suggestions?

    If the color doesn't clash, you could consider replacing both panels with black. However, I do know the cost of these parts is pretty high, for some inexplicable reason. It may be easier to find used panels in black on eBay.

    Thinking of getting a floor jack - how hard is it to find the right place to lift?

    These things are light. Get the lowest profile aluminum floor jack you can find. I have a 3,000 pound one that I use at the racetrack, and it works great for the spyder. Go in from the left side and place it at the rear end of the central frame to raise the rear, or just behind the front...

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    Thanks, Tom, for that very educational post. I live in VA, and I also have a motorhome, as well as several classic cars, in addition to my Spyder and other equipment. Rodents are always a concern. Would you mind sharing the particular rat zapper you use, as well as the best methods for...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Look up LaMonster's video on YouTube. It's a very simple procedure to reset.

    09 Spyder GS lost key - is it possible to program new keys to the Spyder?

    That will store the first key. You'll need a Red Master key to store any additional keys.

    09 Spyder GS lost key - is it possible to program new keys to the Spyder?

    If the existing key you have has a chip for the pre-2014 bikes, you'll only need one more key to get up and running. Buy the DESS module and one additional key. Have that key cut to match the one you have. When you first use that key to start the bike, the new DESS module will recognize that...

    What is your opinion on the plastic oil pump gears?

    That might work, but the factory engineers chose nylon for a reason. Likely, it's to reduce inertia and harmonic vibrations. I don't think I'd be second-guessing them on a critical engine component without proper testing.

    The parking brake doesn't draw any power once applied.
