• 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.

    Harbor Freight lift

    I can attest to this style jack fitting under the Spyder RTL without any manipulation to the bike, and as to lifting, the one I got from Harbor Freight (I think they are both the same) lifts and lowers just fine. https://www.searsoutlet.com/br/pdp/craftsman-1500-lb-motorcycle-atv-jack/16395...

    Scorpion Battery

    I agree. even though I have read of a few premature failures, the Yuasa will fit without modifying the OEM hold down clamp. Buy it from a battery mart or somewhere other than a dealer though, my OEM battery wasn't warrantied by BRP because it was 10 months old. My Deka has a 1 year warranty.

    Tire balancing

    I did exactly the same thing, then to add to that I put the wheel and tire assembly on the balance shaft before popping the beads, and almost got a perfect balance without weights. When I got it to move the least, I popped the beads and balanced as normal. Not a road force balance, but still...

    Scorpion Battery

    MR BLUEKNIGHT911, On the DEKA battery I purchased, it listed a smaller number than the Yuasa of similar construction. But the battery guy showed me something. He load tested both the Deka and Yausa and the Deka actually had more reserve capacity. I found that amazing considering the posted...

    These are 2 examples of US made products. I suspect foreign products may have some supply chain problems in the near future. https://www.yuasabatteries.com/battery/ytx24hl/ https://www.walmart.com/ip/Deka-ETX18L-AGM-Power-Sport-Battery-340-CCA/128272071

    Probably a nice way of saying "Since you didn't let us rob you at the dealership, we won't help you". A lot of my experience with the San Am Dealership has been unfortunate.

    Stupid Belt

    I like your moniker, not a lot of folks remember what a windage tray is. I do my belt adjustment a little differently, and my dealer will set the belt at 1050N no matter what I ask of them, which causes my vibration (so I had to learn quick). Long story short I use a ratchet strap on the...

    Harbor Freight lift

    I bought this one. It is Chinese junk, but probably made in the same factory as the Craftsman stuff. For as infrequently as I'll use it, and not trusting it for a second (see the alternate support), it serves it's purpose. I bought it before the Chinese virus. Today, given the same choice, I...

    The Best LED headlight information

    I know the 360° Fog Lights throw a huge ball of light right in front of the Spyder, found this a little less than useful at night. May be OK in fog, don't really add much as driving lights.

    Spyder Dealers For Garmin GPS Need Current GPI file

    Update- As usual, the BRP group was most helpful (In handing off the issue to someone else). This is an excerpt of the email I sent asking about this file. So, if someone recently had their Garmin updated at the dealer, maybe you could hook it up to the computer and see if there is a later...

    The Best LED headlight information

    I would really like to see this test with the Spyder headlight shutter system and the common LED's sold for Spyders, including the 360° ones. I'm not a professional tester, but the ones I put in are about twice as bright as the OEM bulb, and I didn't have anyone flashing me indicative of...

    The Best LED headlight information

    I chose the 360° version because of some of the reviews of the 2 sided ones in the Spyder headlight buckets. On the 2 sided ones some of them are adjustable to get a better pattern. A lot of folks are satisfied with the light they put out, so they must be OK.

    Parking Brake ....is That a dealer fix item?

    I had 2 separate warranty parking brake issues. Ride it until it happens again, and take pictures of the codes it throws. There are 3 main components that can fail, 2 are the most common. With the codes and a video of the red parking brake symbol flashing red there can be no dispute that...

    The Best LED headlight information

    I just got back doing my first night test of the 360° LED headlight and fog light replacements I put in. Bright. Clear. Highly recommend them, but can't speak as to the reliability as they are new. The OEM bulbs were scary weak.

    OK... I'm In. 2016 RTS SE6 w/2,500 miles

    First time I rode a Spyder was when I picked it up at the dealer. If you've ever rode a 4 wheeler (whatever they call them nowadays) it drives exactly the same (to me). The drive it like a car is excellent advice coming off of a bike, makes the most sense to a newb. Congrats on the new ride!
