• 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 much torque is needed for the 2 front spindle bolts/nuts top and bottom?

    I am replacing them tonight. (New nut and bolt) They were M10-55’s I had to buy 60’s and add a washer on both ends. I couldn’t find any flange bolts or nuts, just regular black hex’s and lock nut with no flange. My dealer wanted $8.00 a bolt and $3.00 for the nuts and can’t get it in for 7 days...

    How much torque is needed for the 2 front spindle bolts/nuts top and bottom?

    Here’s the bolt locations. You are probably correct. It was way tighter than 35 for sure. It was 85-100 when I tried to remove the top bolt. The bottom thread was all squared off, so I had to really impact that out. It was a 15mm head, looks like an M10 8.8 bolt and is 55mm long. Haven’t gone to...

    How much torque is needed for the 2 front spindle bolts/nuts top and bottom?

    Can someone look up how tight (torque value) the front 2 spindle (m10/55mm) bolts should be on the front suspension? I am replacing both the top and bottom on left side. The dealer didn’t replace them after my deer accident and one is stripped, so it needs replaced. For $7 it’s a no brainer. He...

    Currently stranded, no power to bike - any ideas??

    It's probably too late by now, but if the battery and connections are good, which is probably the problem if the battery's just been replaced, then try this. I can’t remember off the top of my head, I’d have to look at it, but on the 15-19 RT there is a large square relay in, I think, the left...

    Need to replace my frunk cable! What are the steps to replacing?

    I went out to fire up my spyder for the first time since hybridization. Disconnected the tender and she fired right up. Drove her out into sun and figured let her run a while. Took her for a 20 minute cruise came back and went to open frunk and nothing! Looked under hood could see connection...

    Show Chrome has discontinued the Pre 20 fender lights

    One the vendors I listed literally told me while on a ride when my new light was flickering. Thats why he stopped selling them at the end of last summer and marked them on sale out of stock. I actually think 2 of them did the same thing and got rid of them after the switch. Because of the...

    Show Chrome has discontinued the Pre 20 fender lights

    Heads up if you are having problems with the old series 13-19 show chrome fender lights they are officially discontinued. Only option left is TricLed. I was told today that “yes for sure” Tricled was producing for show Chrome for the past year and simply rebadged the symbol on the front...

    Are there any 3mm Allen or T15 Torx on Spyders?

    Just double checking myself here. I purchased a Mini-Mate camper for my Spyder last year. I want a mini toolbox that is left in the Mini-Mate (for changing tires, possible bearing replacements, specific pliers and sockets, etc.) with the basics for the trailer, even regarding wire snips and...

    When is BajaRon's Rally/poker run?

    Thanks Ron. I’ll wait till things are posted. No need to pester the guys when they have machines to work on. Dates are all I was looking for at this point. Should be much warmer by then!

    When is BajaRon's Rally/poker run?

    Any heard or know if Ron is having a poker run/mini rally like last year? Is there a date? Nothing posted on the new 2024 lamonster posting on home page regarding this. I was thinking it was early/mid April last year. I remember it was pouring and still had snow up here so we couldn’t get out...

    Anyone know where to get Phillps Head Style Rivets?

    Those are a barrel thread fasteners or rivnuts. McMasters Carr will have them. They should have about 100 different varieties of them. Once you find the exact name type of McMaster just do a search depending on how many you need. Here’s a link to McMasters...

    Oil Change Nightmare - tool broke off in the plug; is there a hardened wrench?

    I might be reading it wrong but you’re saying you used a 3/8 socket 6mm allen that comes out end of socket and the end of the allen broke inside the hole, not the plug. If it was a harbor freight set they are pretty brittle in my opinion. I would raise the spyder up. It probably didn’t break...

    What settings are lost when the battery is disconnected - '23 F3-S?

    I believe the auto sound “lowering/fade” is also lost and needs reset from OEM speaker settings? Not sure what it is called. When you stop at a stop light and have music playing out of the speakers, it should automatically lower. There are 4 settings I believe on the new system. None; Low, which...

    What panels need to be taken off to do the Brake switch recall?

    Are you taking it in a covered trailer or open trailer? You can’t drive it there with all the plastic off!? Your asking for more problems than good. If you are taking it there and let's say it's raining, once they are done, they are going to park it outside. Yes, they may pull it in overnight...

    TricLed Sequential LED Turn Signals & Running Lights - Anyone else having issues??

    Here is my opinion and finding with Tricled. I have the sequential along with the original version that simply blinked. The original blinking ones were bulletproof. They worked awesome with no problems. I was hit by a deer several years ago and had to goto the sequentials. (Replacements) Within...

    Almost-winter looks like this in Alabama

    Agree with traveler, like the inside shot. A lot longer for northern folks. We’ve got 22 inches of snow on the ground and part of the lake is already starting to freeze and the dreaded salt brine has already been dumped so a lot of rain and warmth needed before anything goes out there that...

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    Here is just a thought to try. I might be completely off base but find the extreme first. I would adjust the rear so far that the belt is now binding against the inside of the rear. Go past it and make that back sprocket and belt tight together and even binding. Make sure that belt is binding...
