• 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.

    Not always Shifting from First to Neutral - paddle shifter or what??

    Odd you should mention that point. Pulled the cover off and found condensation droplets inside. Furthermore, the main relay marked headlamps had corrosion on its bottom contacts. I also noticed that when I wiggled the relay in the high beam position, it would go back and forth between high and...

    Not always Shifting from First to Neutral - paddle shifter or what??

    Never heard of the fuse block service bulletin. When I first discovered the high beam malfunction this morning, I pulled both the high beam relay and fuse to check for any terminal damage or corrosion and found none. After re-inserting both components is when the system started operating...

    Not always Shifting from First to Neutral - paddle shifter or what??

    I feel an unfortunate visit to the stealership pending. Today, in addition to the odd shifting issue, I discovered that the high beam function ceased to operate correctly. When I pushed the switch to the high beam selection, nothing happened. Also, pushing the switch to the flash-hi-beams...

    Not always Shifting from First to Neutral - paddle shifter or what??

    Yes. Bike is stopped. Foot on brake. Parking brake set. Pullback of paddle shifter to set it into neutral, which it has always done for the past 5 and a half years. Just now, it is very sporadic that it is not doing so during my last two rides. But it will shift perfectly from 1st to reverse...

    Not always Shifting from First to Neutral - paddle shifter or what??

    Specifically, down-shifting from first to neutral. During my last two rides, I stopped for gas and put my foot on the brake, set the parking brake, then attempted to downshift from first to neutral before shutting off the engine. Wouldn't do it - stayed in first. Tried about 4-5 more times...

    Fog lights not always turning on, not the switch! Any ideas?

    Well, I seem to have got things running again today. May have been the load shedding relay in the right fuse box. I was re-checking all fuses and relays and found that one slightly "not fully seated". Cleaned the terminals up a bit and made certain the thing was fully seated and tight. Also...

    Fog lights not always turning on, not the switch! Any ideas?

    I have recently been having issues with the fog/driving lite option in which they sometimes turn on with the switch and more often, they do not unless I cycle the switch several times. So, I figured maybe the switch was defective and needed replacement. I also have some Tricled ring lites...

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

    On my third set on all four positions. Back to reflectors only if these start going.

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

    All of my original set have since misbehaved to varying degrees. I was sent some replacements once and three out of four have also gone south. I was able to purchase replacements at $15 a set and so far they have been alright. After they go, I’ll have to switch back to the factory reflectors

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Well, yesterday’s balance did the trick. Was able to hit 101mph (GPS) today and all was good.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Trouble balancing Vredsteins. Anyone else had this problem? My bike shop in VA did a static balance before I left for FL. Got down here for a first ride and had bad shaking above 45. Went out and got a cheap harbor freight bubble balancer and got to almost 75% better. Went to a local tire shop...

    Filing Federal Tax return question, again....

    Never know what is going to happen with the IRS. Last year, my father filed his by mail, and since he owed them a small amount, included his payment check with it. Around September, he received a letter from the IRS stating that they cashed his check and added the amount to his credit, except...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finally had Vredestein tires mounted on the front. The old Federals had over 50K on them but we’re getting a little worn out, even tho there was still a lot of tread remaining. -

    How far up or down in size can I go from 165/55/15 tires?

    Thank you, Sir. I’ll check on that size a bit.

    How far up or down in size can I go from 165/55/15 tires?

    Having a difficult time searching online for new front tires. Seems either no one has them or never did. How far can I go either up or down with the 165 or 55 number and find something close?

    Another coolant leak.

    Got the bike back today. One of the hose clamps on the black connector piece by the cylinder heads turned out to be loose, so coolant was slowing dripping out and running down the right side of the engine. At least, I hope that was the problem - I'll know for certain after a few rides this...

    Another coolant leak.

    Yes, I took a bunch of pics and printed them and handed them to the service advisor who gladly accepted them to put in the file. Dropped it off today so it is not my problem anymore.

    Haha - I can only hope!

    Another coolant leak.

    I am kind of suspecting something is going on with that black connector part as you can see in the center of the picture the bright green "drop" which looks like it dribbled down from higher up (pic is updside down). i assume by the parts diagram that the backside of the black connector has two...
