• 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.

    Spyder Adventures in Maggie Valley, NC

    Watching TV last night and this morning. Mountain area is total devastated. Between wash outs and power issues, the rally will just not be held weather it's official or not. Might be considered a 1,000 year flood

    Spyder Adventures in Maggie Valley, NC

    I saw the triangle Spyder post showing Soco Rd under water. I will have to check at our lodging location to see if it was hurt by the rising water. Its a cabin near the river and HWY 19 between the Spyder hosting location and Wheels thru Time. Our room was on 2nd floor, but the 1st floor should...

    Opinions wanted - How I and the Dealer handled a service issue - long read warning

    Then throw in the possibility that the engine can be skewed. Start messing with that and the can of worms just might grow into COBRA'S :yikes::yikes::yikes: I have read somewhere in other posts that there is a turnbuckle to skew the engine

    Ryker wiring diagrams - Anyone have access to them?

    Wiring diagrams would be in the Service Manuals, not the Owner's Manual that came with Spyder/Ryker model.

    Opinions wanted - How I and the Dealer handled a service issue - long read warning

    the 1mm is working fine. If you try to go to 2.5mm, just might try to rub on the LEFT side of FRONT pulley, so be careful. You'll have to pull off side cover to view front pulley, or look up from underneath. That might be a problem

    the sprocket edge has a slight angle to keep belt from riding UP. So the gap on top will be a smidge wider than down at the teeth. That is where the credit card gap should be checked. IF the belt is riding too hard on side flange, it will squeal!!!

    How do you mange riding a Spyder and a motorcycle?

    I ride my Honda NT700V all the time for work commute. A rough split between Spyder and 700 is Spyder = 5,000 miles and 700 is 20,000 miles per year. I don't have a problem remembering which one I'm riding with correct inputs from my brain or muscle memory to do correct things. A little...

    Is it Ok to use ethanol gas? Anyone have problems?

    Can use ethanol gas whenever you want. Just longer time inactivity can make it go bad. So at anytime can switch back and forth. It's switching between 87 and 93 octane the ECM has to adjust. I use 10 % ethanol 87 octane all the time

    My very old Garmin GPS is not usable in sunlight, will newer ones work better?

    thats because in part the 3590 is NOT a motorcycle GPS. Its made for auto and NOT waterproof. You might be able to fashion a hood or sunshade for it, but probably NOT find a sunshade because its for inside use in auto and doubt anyone would make one

    So, how fast can a spyder go and safely make a sharp right turn at an intersection?

    300 miles is still not enough time riding to understand the Spyder. Ride more, then you can access your ability to corner better. A Spyder is like riding a 4wheeler, they lean the opposite of turn, like your going to fall off. If you happened to notice your dash, if you were really pushing...

    Is there a Code Reader for the Spyder?

    Code readers don't work on Spyders, just BUDS. Some codes don't even follow the typical cars and trucks codes!

    Need to know Jacking points using a floor jack?

    Not sure if this question was discussed earlier in this thread, but I don't have time to look. So just place a piece of wood under the tubes on an A arm and jack up. It will have to be a skinny jack. Not sure if there will be enough room to place a jack stand with the jack still in place. Just...

    Replaced Rear tire, now have multiple fault codes! Need some advice.

    Running the rear wheel in the air will get you the VSS faults; not sure why ABS would be on; and I don't know what EBD is. So you just need to get out and go for a ride, so that all 3 wheels are spinning

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    you have only 3 posts, so you are new here. You mention chassis roll, have you tried a new sway bar? Ultra bar from BajaRon, controls roll better, and the shocks control dampening. Still may need shocks for your specific feel that you want. Just for record, I have done neither to my 2015 RTL

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    Some items to think about. Crush washers can be reused. Don't use a torque wrench on the plug, just tighten it firmly. Torquing it down can lead to problems, as you will have oil on the threads which leads to higher torque levels. I'll differ on my opinion about getting all the oil out of...

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    I have been enlightened on this forum about low usage and sitting long times without oil changes such as yours. That is more of a problem than being used and driven. You're way up north, susceptible to very cold temps and condensation. Acids can't get burnt off by riding more frequently. Why...

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    With the Spyder sitting for mostly 3 yrs and only 1,000 miles. There will be condensation moisture in there. With being a new Spyder owner, there is NO oil pan as such. Its a Dry Sump operation. Which is an internal oil tank, with scavenge pumps that pump the oil around. The manual states change...
