• 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.

    Seat latch won't open - any new ideas?

    As far as I know the key turns and pulls the cable to the seat. No electrical at all to unlock the seat. Some people unhook the cable to the seat or frunk, and put a wire from the lock/latch over to the side of Spyder. They use that instead of the ignition key to turn an unlock the frunk or seat.

    Damaged a Rim on my F3L when we hit about a 4" rock that slid off of a rock wall by the road - afraid to ask what a new rim will cost!?!

    Reporting it as an accident, the deductible on your policy for something small will most of the time be more than the fix. Plus that will put a mark against you on your insurance, even if you don't have them pay for the fix. That's what we have had done to us before. Next time we had a mishap at...

    ST Longest Ride Ever

    Both me and the wife have sheepskin covering our seats. Does make a difference in the summer, letting air circulate under your butt, and helps keep your butt cooler. In winter, it still helps your butt feel better.

    Has anyone else noticed excessive Right side front tire wear?

    Your wife could be right. But I ride on rural roads and never noticed that kind of wear. I'm sure someone else that knows more about Spyder alignment will have a better idea of what is causing the wear.

    What Hand Guards and Heated Seat Pads do you guys have on an F3 Limited? Any ideas?

    Check with Lamonster and see if he has the hand guards for a F3. Get some good wind and waterproof gloves, that will make a huge difference for your hands. Not those cheap gloves you see advertised for skiing. Those never worked for me to keep my hands warm.

    Parking brake light comes on & brakes lock up - UPDATE!

    Sounds like some are talking about their Spyder's locking up the parking brake while they are riding down the road at 50 mph or more. Others talking about their Spyder's parking brake locking up when it parked and they use their 12 mil. wrench to take off the cable so they can still ride. For...

    What Trailer hitch and wiring harness are you using for your RS Spyder?

    I don't think it was a BRP harness. Didn't see anything on it that said BRP. On eBay, look at the harnesses. Look at the Lamonster cable and you should probably see a picture of a wiring harness that looks identical to his. I'm not sure if your Spyder would take the same kind of harness tho...

    What Trailer hitch and wiring harness are you using for your RS Spyder?

    Yes, the wiring harness was a plug and play. Plugs into the wiring under the seat. Has a flat 4 pin at the end for the trailer to plug into.

    What Trailer hitch and wiring harness are you using for your RS Spyder?

    I bought an off brand hitch for the wife's F3L. Looks exactly like the one I bought from Show Chrome for my RTL, at half price too. Got the wiring harness off eBay, which looks just like the one from a couple of places from here when they had sponsors on the front page. Just my opinion.

    2019 RT brake pedal still travels too far with new front pads installed. How do I get it back to normal?

    If you can find somebody to help you or a place that will flush the brakes on your Spyder do that. Dealer stuck me for 3 hrs time to flush the brakes. Said it was a hard long job. $450. That's BS, they wont be doing that to me again. BUDS, like they have said up above, is for the ABS part. It's...

    New '25 Spyders at dealer

    Was looking at 2 dealers in Washington State. Lifestyles Honda in Burlington says they have 4 x '25 RT's; 2 x blue RT-L's; and 2 x S2S in purple-maroon. They had pictures of them outside in the sun. Might just take the 4 hr ride in the car to see them, altho there's lots of rain over that way.

    Looking for Battery recommendations & sources to order from?

    So I didn't put all of my earlier post in the post your referring to. I've done this twice to Yuasa BS batteries. Never had a problem with them - the first one was 6yrs old when I sold my motorcycle still working. Didn't put on a battery maintainer or what ever you want to call it - Deltran...

    Looking for Battery recommendations & sources to order from?

    After installing the battery, go on a nice long ride to keep a nice charge going into the new battery. Don't just run down to the store and back. That might not fully recharge it all the way back up. just my thought.

    Looking for Battery recommendations & sources to order from?

    I have the YTX24HL-BS battery in my '22 RTL Spyder. I put it in not that long after I got my Spyder. I did like instructions said. No problem with it. Had another same Yuasa-BS battery in my old Yamaha RSTD. It was still working well when I got rid of that bike. I have no problems with using a...
