• 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.

    Black deflecter located by your feet

    I noticed on my '10 model with Lamont's highway pegs that one of the pins that help hold the deflector in place had popped out and it weakened it somewhat. I just put it back in place and it never did come loose again. Something like that could have happened on your trip. It's not hard to...

    Could be compitition for the Spyder

    I like them both. I drove a slingshot at my dealer and it was a blast to drive. I am on my second spyder because it is a blast to ride. It is real simple to me, the Spyder is one wheel away from being a true motorcycle but, for me, more fun than a motorcycle . The slingshot is one wheel away...

    Recap of 2014 RT Problems

    Mine has the key switch that malfunctions sometimes and the frunk won't latch back. The cable must be slipping on the key switch. I can turn the key back and forth a time or two and it will then let the frunk latch. Is this the issue you are talking about with the ignition switches being...

    2014 RTS Ride Characteristics

    Ann, the eco mode does inhibit the throttle body opening and in effect cuts the total power delivery (I am sure you may already know this). If you are running on level ground at 65 mph and put it in eco mode the spyder will drop speed to 56 or 57 with you holding the throttle in the same...

    2014 RTS Ride Characteristics

    I live in upper East Tenn. with plenty of trees. The leaf collection is not an issue. What is one or three leaves going to do to hamper the Spyder? Just let it idle for a minute or two and the reverse fans will blow it out for you :thumbup:. I just don't see a reason to complain about it. The...

    will someone put up some positive stories about the spyder

    I'll CHIME IN 25,000 on my first RT S , 2010 model. Like many others on this site, work gets in the way of my riding. I now have 1600 on the '14 RT S and can see many more miles to come. Seems like I worried about problems but never had any. I would read the forums negative post and let it...

    Checked out the 2015 RT SS Saturday

    My dealer has a Red and Black RT SS on the floor and I looked it over. The two colors together look good to me. some folks like it and some don't. I didn't like the "shorty" windshield on it at all. I am short at 5'7" and like to look over the shield when it is in the lowest position but the...

    Drove a Slingshot today. WoW!

    Made a run to my dealer (East TN. ATV) to pick up a couple of things and to have a first hand look at the Slingshot. They unloaded some Yesterday. The owner took me for a ride in their Demo unit and I drove it back to the dealer from a few miles up the road. Let me make this "perfectly clear" I...

    New to the group

    Welcome, you will find good people and good knowledge from the experience of those on this site. Your shaking issue, could be as simple as an out of balance tire. Or as others have said it may be a bad tire. I have not had that issue on either of the spyders I have owned. My 2010 RTS was dead...

    BajaRon shock adjuster update, windy ride Test.

    Here in upper East Tenn. today the temperature was a balmy 70 + !!!! Can't believe how warm it got today. Along with this though we had winds of 25 to 30 mph gust almost all day. What better time to give the shock adjusters another workout and road test. I started out on some back roads and then...

    2014 Bajaron Swaybar

    This is an ongoing debate over weather a Spyder needs or does not need an aftermarket sway bar, aftermarket shocks, or any other performance or handling product upgrade. Performance after market shocks do improve what ever you put them on. Aftermarket sway bars do improve the stock handling of...

    Any Changes in the 2015 vs. the 2014?

    George, I also traded, mine was a 2010 RT S . loved that Spyder, had no problems with it but I got the itch for the 1330 SE 6 speed. So far I am thrilled with it. For me I don't need the eco mode to tell me when to change gears. I used it for about a thousand miles to get used to the changes...

    Another battery tender question.

    It can't get much easier than moving the fuse and just plugging into the 12V plug in the trunk. :dontknow: Very easy. don't have to hook anything to the battery.

    Why did I do it.

    In the state of Tennessee your trade dollars are not taxed with the sale (the trade was already taxed when it was bought new). I traded my 2010 and after paying sales tax only on the difference it made the trade about a thousand dollars better than it would have been had I sold outright and...
