• 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.

    Want to install GPS on 2020 RTL, which one to order? What's the difference?

    My Spyder wish list - what's yours?

    My wish list should be relatively easy/cheap to incorporate. 1) Put the windshield up/down button back on the left handlebar where is was on my '19. Eliminate the "feature" that lowers the windshield every time I turn the bike off, leave it where I want it! 2) I don't need 4 different buttons to...

    Heim joint links only ??

    I had the Baja Ron sway bar and links on my 19 RTL. My new 21 RTL seemed to handle better stock so I installed just the links and I could not tell the difference from stock. So then I did it right and installed a new BR sway bar on the 21 and it now handles even better. IMO, the links alone are...

Bluetooth the phone to the device, got my Sirius XM music; Bluetooth the Garmin to the device, got my spoken directions. When the music is playing the GPS will mute the music and give directions. Turned the...

    What is the Secret to tightening the Axle Nut after Belt Adjustment?

    I tighten the axle nut is small steps, checking that the adjusters have not moved. If they do move toward the rear (tighter) I use a block of wood and a hammer to drive them forward until they are tight against the end of the swing arm. I takes several rounds of tighten/hammer to reach the point...

    How do I play Zumo XT voice directions through Spyder speakers?

    Duke, I just looked at LaMonster's on line catalog and could not find the device. I did see a "plug and Play" harness that I already have and used to provide power to the Garmin. Do you have any specifics on this device: part number, name, vendor???? TIA for trying to help me.

    How do I play Zumo XT voice directions through Spyder speakers?

    Pete, it turns out that I did NOT bluetooth the Garmin to the Spyder. I bluetoothed it to my phone as part of the setup of the Garmin Drive App. I don't know why I need the Drive App, or how it works.

    2021 Spyder RT not starting - any ideas?

    This may have nothing to do with your problem, but ask the dealer if your Spyder is under a recall. my dealer just did an ECM flash on my 21 RTL under warranty for hard/no start problems. I was not experiencing any problems.

    USB Clarification 2021 RTL - which plugs do what?.

    I know my 21 RTL has 3 USB plugs and I don't know which ones do what. I use the one in the trunk to power my cell phone so I can bluetooth Sirius XM to the sterio. Do any of these 3 plugs do more than just provide power? TIA for your help. I almost titled this thread "USB's for dummies".

    Confused about tire pressure - Spyder feels squirrelly, do I go up, or down?

    Dan, One other suggestion: push your outside leg into the floorboard when going through the curve. I found that my upper body was moving back and forth through the curve, causing inadvertent push/pull (unintentional) on the handlebars. My upper body motion was causing the bike to wobble.

    Looking for toy hauler-tow vehicle recommendations

    I may be raining on your parade a little, but I'll share my thoughts. Finding RV sites in Florida is becoming harder. My park recently converted all RV sites to Annual Rentals only for $985/month. If you rent a site you can sub let for the months you don't use, but no guarantees. I'm afraid the...

    Will this Enclosed trailer fit both an RT and an F3L?

    I suggest you park both bikes face to face as close together as safely possible. Measure the space they occupy. Try back to back (maybe offset the rear wheels) and measure again. If you answer your own question you won't have to blame the internet if they don't fit. I hope the trailer is a...

    Where is the Spyder's CoG?

    Jeff - you did not provide any information about your Spyder year, model etc. This forum is one of the friendliest, most knowledgeable and helpful I have ever found. I suggest you lighten up on the attitude and get yourself a Shureline tongue weight scale. You can measure your trailer's tongue...
