• 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.

On top of all that it is incredibly fun to ride, I almost crave the...

    Overheating Problems

    Install the manual override fan switch mod. Works wonders, lets you turn the fan on earlier and of course is wired directly from a switched fuse line so it bypasses the fan relay thus elliminating the issue of the fan not coming on because of a faulty relay or at least a nbackup method of...

    What do you wear when you ride your Spyder?

    ATGATT = All The Gear All The Time. For me this includes jacket with armour, riding pants with armour, full face helmet along with ear plugs, leather gloves with knuckle protection and high sided leather boots. When I ride with my helmet shield up I wear safety glasses to provide continued...

    Manual Fan Switch Works!

    Putt-Putt you use the blue wire at the fan if you are going to supply power to the fan yourself through some fused and switched power line (i.e. auxiliary fuse box). Take a look at the thread below: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12160&highlight=rleathen

    spyder getting HOT

    Chasbadger I think this fan switch has been one of my best mods to date. Like I said being able to turn the fan on at will does help keep or at least delay limp mode. Again the only real drawback is that when the fan is on in stop and go traffic my right foot really heats up !

    Simple Tips

    I use the Gerbings heated gloves along with a dual zone heat controller. Best purchase I made. Up here in Canada I am able to ride until it gets just a degree or two above freezing (2 degrees Celcius) with the heated gloves. The Gerbings are so good that I have never had to have the temp...

    Couldn't feel my fingers!!!

    You need to learn to relax your grip a bit...ok maybe a lot. A more relaxed grip will allow the blood to circulate through the hands much easier. As well you may want to adjust you seating position to change the angle that your wrists are at while holding the handle bars. There are other things...

    Anybody?

    KRB1945 when you say your mod is working with the triple play is it safe to assume that you just tapped into the NMN middle brake light wire to power your brake light pucks ?

    Windshield Mod - Opinions/Suggestions Please

    First a little background. When I mounted my original BRP tank bag I mounted the bracket right overtop of the rubber filler material that covers the hole in the console where the stearing column goes through. It was tight but I made it work. Forward to a few months ago. I mounted my Calsi...

    Hey Firefly tell me how you really feel :yikes: Are any of the shields you have mounted made of the Quantum Polycarbonate material and if yes did you drill any holes through them ?

    Spyder on FIRE

    After taking a more thorough look at the pictures I stand corrected. It would appear that the charing over by the gas cap in all liklihood was caused from heat and fire from the right side moving up and underneath the upper frame rail and venting out over the gas cap and y shaped body panel.

    Windshield Mod - Opinions/Suggestions Please

    With all due respect any product manufacturer that has received so many good AND bad comments that Marcel has makes me think twice about his products. Yes you do judge a company by the feedback that it gets, both good AND bad. BRP makes a great windshield and Industries 7 makes a great adjusting...

    Spyder on FIRE

    Based on my chosen profession I have been to many many vehicle fires and have investigated, or at least attempted to investigate the cause of every one of the vehicle fires I have been to. One thing that stands out to me as being out of the norm is the charing that can be seen around the gas...
