• 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.

    First time changing brake pads on 2014 ST-S

    This weekend I will be changing the brake pads on my 2014 ST-S. This will be my first time doing this on a Spyder, and a question popped into my head that I can't seem to find an answer for. When I park my Spyder, I have to engage the parking brake otherwise this annoying alarm goes off. How...

    Options for radio

    I probably already know the answer to this, but I was wondering if there were other options to get a radio installed on a 2014 ST-S. I bought mine without the radio, but now I am looking at getting one installed. I was wondering if there were any other options to getting a system from a third...

    Hard vibration in the steering at 45 mph

    Wound up replacing the tires. Everything is smooth as glass now. Went with Federal as opposed to the Kemda. I am still perturbed that the shop wouldn't make it right, but at least I am back on the road again.

    Hard vibration in the steering at 45 mph

    bad news Well, The shop says that the tires have cupping and they are blaming me. My warranty is now void on the tires because they said that I did not check the tire pressure every day. I just bought them a few months ago and now they want me to buy new ones. Mad doesn't even describe what...

    Hard vibration in the steering at 45 mph

    More info Well, my front tires are at a perfect 18psi, right around where the manual says they should be, maybe a little higher. My digital pressure gauge won't reach the back one well, so I am going to have to find my thin old school one. It is in a box somewhere. The tires are fairly new...

    Hard vibration in the steering at 45 mph

    Hello again, I have a 2014 ST-S. So, last night something strange happened. My wife and I were on a ride and suddenly, when I got to about 45 mph and maintaining speed, the steering started shaking violently. I looked down and the wheels were shaking so hard they were a blur. It only did...

    Computer reset on startup

    An Update An update. I milked the battery I had for a few more months, but sadly, last Thursday she gave out. Wouldn't turn over anymore so my hand was forced. Got a new battery and all my problems went away. Other things had started to creep in as well. My power assist on the steering...

    Computer reset on startup

    Just a little background info, I ride nearly every day at least 10 miles or more, mostly in-town, but many trips much longer. It is my main transportation for work and fun, so I think the trip length should be long enough. Once it is started I never have any issues with anything electrical...

    Computer reset on startup

    I have a 2014 ST-S with 7000 miles on it so far. Over the last couple of months when I start it up, the computer resets and the center monitor goes through the boot up process again. This used to happen very sporadically in the first year I had it, but now I would say it is about 90% of the...

    LIMP mode, maybe?

    They said it was the cam sensor. That threw the code that triggered it to go into Limp mode. They replaced it and said that it was running like a dream now. They are delivering it back to me in a couple of hours, so we shall see then. Thank god for warranties...

    LIMP mode, maybe?

    I should know something tomorrow afternoon hopefully. I found the manual online though, here is the page with the description of the lamps. I circled in blue which one I had. It says to remove the key and wait 20 secs, but it sat all night because the tow company couldn't come until first...

    LIMP mode, maybe?

    I have a relatively new 2014 ST-S that I believe went into what everyone is calling LIMP mode. It only has 2300 miles on it, so I was surprised to be having problems now. Basically I stopped and ran into where where I work for about 5 minutes. When I came back out, right as I hit the starter...

    Fuel Gauge Question

    I am having the same issue. I just got my bike 2 weeks ago (a new 2014 ST-S) and I thought I was getting the worst gas mileage ever, but when I would fill the tank it only needed 3 gallons. Just happened at bike week yesterday. I filled the tank, went 5 miles and a bar had already dropped...

    My First Spyder

    Oh, sorry, I just noticed the Pic emoji. This is the only one I have so far. My wife has a few on her phone, but it is pouring rain here in FL right now. I will get more when the sun comes out tomorrow.

    My First Spyder

    Ah, I wasn't quite sure how they worked. So I guess there is just a clip inside that snaps over teh D-ring when you push it through?

    My First Spyder

    Security Oh, one other thing. Security. I know I can lock the handlebars, but I worry about this getting stolen. Do you folks have a recommendation on theft prevention? I live in an apartment complex, and the Spyder is parked in a carport. I have a bike lock cable I used on my scooter, but...
