• 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.

    More 2024 RT Limited Issues - Heated Passenger Handgrips not working!

    The battery is really easy to replace on the newer Spyders. I swapped mine out on my 2017 in about 5 minutes, the 2024 looks to be about the same. If my stock battery craps out I will just replace it with a Yuasa or some other legit battery myself.

    More 2024 RT Limited Issues - Heated Passenger Handgrips not working!

    As I understand it, the update for CarPlay will be available over WiFi when and if it's released, so it won't require a dealer visit. Also, the hang tag does say Android Auto is coming, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to happen anytime soon.

    More 2024 RT Limited Issues - Heated Passenger Handgrips not working!

    I have been told, and read in multiple places, that the software updated required for ACP to work will be an over the air update you can do at home over WiFi. When WiFi works that is, as mine is hit-or-miss if it wants to connect or not. At least we shouldn't have to take the bike in for an...

    Nitpicking the 2024 RT

    It should work fine when CarPlay is finally enabled. Won’t know for sure though until they enable CarPlay support.

    So at least I'm not the only one that had reversed heated seat cables :). I had to do the same thing on mine.

    New Altimax RT45 225/60R-15 rubbing on belt on left turns

    Yes, that is true. But since these bikes came with 225s standard, not 215s, it shouldn't generally be a problem I wouldn't think.

    New Altimax RT45 225/60R-15 rubbing on belt on left turns

    Shouldn't it have been re-balanced when the new tire was put on? They wouldn't have just left the old weights on there hopefully. And why would an auto tire not need balancing on a Spyder when auto tires definitely need balancing when mounted on cars? Just curious.

    New Altimax RT45 225/60R-15 rubbing on belt on left turns

    I went back to my tirerack.com history and confirmed I also used the 215/60R-15 Altimax, not the 225. I have since sold the bike so can't give you any measurements unfortunately but did know I had no trouble with it in the 4 years I had it on my 2017 RT. According to an online tire size...

    New Altimax RT45 225/60R-15 rubbing on belt on left turns

    When I had an Altimax on my 2017 RT, I ran it at 26-28 PSI and it seemed fine. 20 PSI seems way low to me, and might cause the sidewall to bulge out more I'd think. Maybe try running it up to 26 PSI and see if that makes any difference in the rubbing anyway.

    I tried this yesterday: Paired Cardo to iPhone on Channel 1, shows up in Cardo App now Paired Cardo to Headset 1 on Spyder, using Channel 2 Paired iPhone to Spyder I think it's all working now, did not try the mic button on Spyder, have to look and see where that is. Still waiting like...

    Harbor Freight 63397 motorcycle lift - high enough for sway bar install?

    Awesome. That sounds like the ticket. I think I'll order the ultra sway bar just for the ease of installation, and I do ride 2-up a lot as well so it seems like that's the one to get.

    Harbor Freight 63397 motorcycle lift - high enough for sway bar install?

    So if I get the Ultra Sway Bar, it doesn't need to be lifted up so high to install it? I don't care about saving the stock sway bar, so would it be feasible to cut it in half with with an angle grinder perhaps and then remove it in two pieces, thus negating the need to get the bike 2-3' up in...

    Anyone else dealing with this sort of Gas Mileage?

    I recorded every fill-up on Fuelly. Had a nice running average over lifetime of the bike. One goofy fill-up doesn't change things much when you've got 20,000 miles of history :)

    Anyone else dealing with this sort of Gas Mileage?

    Most of my 2-wheeled motorcycles didn't have a gas gauge for sure. You just learned about when you'd run out and go by trip odometer. Or when they sputtered you flip to reserve and start looking fast for a gas station!

    Anyone have a link to Full Warranty? Does cold weather riding void warranty?

    That sounds crazy if true. I ride my Spyder year round, even when I was in Colorado. I guess by "cold weather" I would be out if it was above 35 or so.

    More 2024 RT Limited Issues - Heated Passenger Handgrips not working!

    My wife said the passenger grips didn't get smoking hot, just "warm". The driver grips can get pretty toasty though. I need to research the Cardo unit some more as it has multiple channels I guess. Need to figure out if I should pair the Cardo to my phone first, then to the Spyder on Ch 2, or...

    Anyone else dealing with this sort of Gas Mileage?

    That was typically when I'd fill mine too, although I did stretch it to 200 a few times by necessity. 150 is a good stopping point, if not sooner :)

    Anyone else dealing with this sort of Gas Mileage?

    My 2017 RT typically got 35-40 MPG, depending on whether it was 1 or 2 up, and how fast I was riding. Haven't had the 2024 long enough yet to get a good read, but it seems to be in the 36-37 MPG range (the on-board MPG calculation is higher than hand calculations, just like most every car I've...

    More 2024 RT Limited Issues - Heated Passenger Handgrips not working!

    I have experienced the same with the WiFi. I have a mesh system so signal is good in the garage. Sometimes it will connect, sometimes it will not. The BT does seem a bit touchy as well on mine. I am having issues with my Cardo headset, I need to figure out I guess which channel I should use...

    Anyone else dealing with this sort of Gas Mileage?

    That sounds about right based on my experience as well. I typically didn't like to push beyond 210 miles on my 2017 and even then I think there was well over a gallon left. My new 2024 has an estimated Distance to Empty, I've seen it as high as 235 when filling up after a long highway stretch.
