• 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.

    Newbie with Multiple Questions

    1) I think the music part is MP3's on a memory card. In order to play your phone through the speakers, you can connect to the USB in the trunk, but you may not have control in SIRIUS. Only the iPhones / iPads have full control. Android devices just advance to next song only. There is a trick...

    Using cel phone gps vs zumo 660

    Power I did the gauge replacement with power adaptors. I installed the cigarette adaptor on one side, dual USB on the other. They are aluminum and very well made. Never a problem with rain.

    Bet you have never seen this done on a Spyder...

    So I had a thought on wifes 2008 GS - dangerous I know! Still getting random stuck in gear happening, no errors at all. Makes me think communications (noise). Coils are grounded. Maybe misfires are sending pulses. So I start stripping down. Pulled out the air filter and OMG found this crap...

    SENA BLUEOOTH INTERCOM

    We upgraded... Also had the 10's. Tried both the SENA 20 and the CARDO FREEDOM 4. Both have the multitasking, meaning if you start talking (or press a button) the music drops and the intercom mode is on. Answer a phone call by saying "HELLO" loudly. All hands free. We went with the Cardo...

    Property Tax in VA?

    Not exact.. My 2016 RTS in Hampton Roads was about $250 if I recall right. My 2008 GS was tens of dollars.

    Which senna is the go

    Do options matter to you? We have had Sena20's and now have Cardo Freedom 4's. Both of these do one thing I really like! MULTITASKING! If I'm listening to music and the wife says "hello" (or anything) it will jump to intercom and reduce the music. To answer phone just say anything loud. All...

    2015 RT

    Ram mount bracket I bought a bracket that goes on top of the dash, comes with three 1" ram mount. Then got an X-Grip with a 5" arm. Then adjust it so the arm is resting good on the dash to reduce vibration. On my other spyder - replace one of the two upper bolts on your handlebars (7mm) and...

    Mounting brackets for driving lights higher up.

    My plasti-dip is still 100%. I put about 10 heavy coats on it :) Steve

    Mounting brackets for driving lights higher up.

    Maybe some plasti-dip? Having a dark red RTS, I thought making all the plain accents black would make it nicer - and it did. Also did the bottom part of the windshield to hide the EZPass. You could do the same to hide the mounting bars, just blackout the side pieces...

    Cardo packtalk bold and the 2018 can am blue tooth radio.

    I have the Cardo Freedom 4. It is picky about tapping the pairing button again after you hear "pairing" to pair with "phone 1", "phone 2", etc. I don't have a 2018, but it connects OK to a second helmet, my phone and GPS. Maybe try pairing it to the bike as not a phone (if that makes sense)...

    Well I learned something! Love this forum! Showing my age worrying about ridges... :yes:

    USB not working

    Me too.. The RT-S also has the USB. On the RT-S (without GPS) take off the right side on tied to the frame is an 1/8" audio jack. Run an extension up to the handlebars and plug into your phone. Set the MODE to NAV. I use the phone GPS and Amazon Prime Music.

    Do I harm my Spyder's engine if I shift at higher RPMs?

    Once in a while... Open it up a bit. Keeping the RPM's below 4K ALL the time is not desirable according to several techs I talked to. Especially on low mile engines. I know rebuilding car engines they get a "lip" in the cylinder where the top of the rings stop in the cylinder. The tech said...

    DOES ANYBODY KNOW

    998cc model? I got that same error, but along with shifting problems. Any weirdness like getting stuck in gear? Shifting from 3rd to 4th and winding up in Neutral? The gearbox Position Sensor is a poorly made sensor that likes to fail. I have a thread or two on this. Replaced mine myself...

    Standard maintenance question.

    Anti-squeal? Changed the brakes on the 2008 GS, after a couple hundred miles started the usual SQUUUEEEAALLL in reverse especially. Don't you put some compound on the backside of the pads? I hosed mine down with brake-clean, lasted all of a day. Must be dust between calipers and the pads...

    Harbor freight trailer

    Safety Check! I bought a HF Tag Along. The very first thing you MUST do is pull off the wheels and pack the wheels bearings. They put some cheapo vaseline like (just a few wipes) on them. I packed it solid with grease from the auto parts store. Now onto pulling - you won't even know it's...
