• 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.

    Stuck in 1st gear - Fault Code P074D - Any thoughts?

    @Peter Aawen - Thank you...that's cool information. I've found some other posts where folk describe what reads just like mine, and most of the solutions were to replace the left hand side shifter module

    Videos I am going to keep trouble shooting whatever possible...but, I have an appointment 11/8/2022 at the local dealership. Didn't sound hopeful there was going to be a quick turn around. :banghead: Which bites...I'm being denied ryding out the fall colors this season. Fall just enhances...

    Stuck in 1st gear - Fault Code P074D - Any thoughts?

    Update...went out shortly ago and tested again. 1. The issue is still there, but I now notice before, during and after (which I thought I had imagined it earlier), but the limp mode light never comes on...not sure what that's all about. I know it works, because it comes on normally prior to...

    Stuck in 1st gear - Fault Code P074D - Any thoughts?

    @Peter Aawen - I did test ride after reconnecting the battery...did not help. The downshift 3x did not help either. Thank you regardless

    Stuck in 1st gear - Fault Code P074D - Any thoughts?

    FYI...now the bike shows no fault code...assuming due to disconnecting the battery.

    Stuck in 1st gear - Fault Code P074D - Any thoughts?

    @Flamewinger - Battery terminals are tight. I disconnected both and cleaned the connections, tightened them back, and it did not help. I also noticed when testing again just now the bike accelerates on its own when shifting into 2nd. Kinda nerving since I do not know if that is normal as when...

    Stuck in 1st gear - Fault Code P074D - Any thoughts?

    I was 20 sec from the house on my 2021 F3 Ltd and tried to shift into 2nd. Bike hit limp mode immediately. No codes showed on the screen. I've checked or done the following common tasks/checks...parking brake is not engaged, foot is on brake when starting, it's not in reverse, the oil level...

    2020 Spyder F3 Limited - is there a solo cowl? Quick Release?

    @OP - If you are referring to the LinQ setup, then no. Well, at least not on my 2021 F3 Ltd. This topic was (and still is) confusing when I was researching prior to the purchase, but come to find out "afterwards", LinQ will not mount without a lot of configurating. Unless someone has come up...

    New Member - First Post. My 21 F3L Project

    Agree @ARtaverler and the few others brave enough to admit LOL...but, IMO as well, the Kenda's are overall good tires as long as you are not having any issues w/the ryde's ride or unless you just want to change them out for your own tweaking. My 2014 ST-S's front Kenda's lasted 3+ years with no...

    Thanks for updating the header!

    Is your spyder shaking, start with the belt tensioner. Now on to Tires!

    Got my rear tire mounted/balanced last week. Weather and life has prevented thorough test riding. There's not much of a difference...still shakes, but not near as bad as the almost entire 1st year of owning. The tread on the not-old former rear Kenda was worn pretty bad as well...fyi...

    Is your spyder shaking, start with the belt tensioner. Now on to Tires!

    Update: She rides really smooth now. But, she can be better. Thus far, it's like a washing machine that's back on balance, and now needs a wedge under a leg...was shaking that bad. The fix: @Peter Aawen - The rear wheel was out of balance. The local dealership said there was 6.25oz of...

    Agree Mike...it's a lot. I'd rather be sharing vacations or helping other ryders. I appreciate ya'll reading and keeping up...weird journey for the bike alone on top of personal life. I'm trying to use less words to make it smoother. No, Peter...no one has blinked at the rear. I have an...

    Is your spyder shaking, start with the belt tensioner. Now on to Tires!

    @spyder01 - The wheels were upgraded to PPA's using the stock Kendas during the build-from-crate process. I'm currently on new Continental fronts hoping it was the Kendas causing the issue. Both sets of front tires (Kendas and Continentals) were 'standard' balanced at least 2 times each...

    Agree...long thread...windshield. front kendas were supposedly balanced...2 diff dealers ck'd them. These new continentals I have on there that replace the Kendas we're supposedly balanced.

    Tire availability? 165/55R15

    Mine do not look as sharp, but rounded as if pending stripped by an incorrectly used tool. Which is probably why my new wrench doesn't fit tight...more fun.
