• 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.

    exhaust fire

    I used to be a Process Engineer at a plant that made catalytic convertor cores. They are calcined at high temperatures, but unburned fuel will be burned in the cc during engine operation. This can cause extremely high temperatures, and I have seen them get melted. I mean the ceramic substrate...

    Spyder radio is worthless - any solution to this problem?

    My sound system works fine, including the radio. I have a bluetooth FM adapter that allows me to play music from my phone if I choose (and hear NAV directions). I found it sounds a lot better if I bias the sound more to the rear speakers. I'm sure it would be better if I used bluetooth to a...

    I just use two hands. Takes much less contortions.

    A good write up in Rider online Magazine

    I have a 2012 and I rode a 2017. I do not get the fascination with the 3 cylinders. Nice engine to be sure, but so is the 2 cylinder. To each his own, I guess. I would not pay a lot of money to "upgrade" because of the engine. I'm sure they have made some other improvements in 10 years, however...

    OEM(?) F3 windshield - is this adjustable or not?

    Ok, thanks for the responses. I will compare it to some of the aftermarket ones to see if I can find a match. Then maybe I can figure out if it is adjustable.

    OEM(?) F3 windshield - is this adjustable or not?

    I'm assuming this is the OEM windshield. Please let me know if it is not. This is a 2017 F3 and it is pretty basic (no saddle bags or rear trunk). It is definitely too low for me (I am looking at buying this vehicle). I'm just wondering if the windshield is adjustable at all. It looks like...

    2012 RTL - how long before you plug in the battery tender?

    Ok, for the end of the story, after one week without a battery tender, my Spyder was still fully charged. I won't be worrying about this in the future. I did charge it before I left, but sitting for 6 days basically did not drain the battery enough to notice.

    2012 RTL - how long before you plug in the battery tender?

    I am on the road now. Because of the advice in this thread, I took it out for a good long ride since the weather was perfect. Then, after a few hours, I put it on the battery maintainer until it indicated that the battery was fully charged. Then I disconnected it. So I will be gone for a week...

    2012 RTL - how long before you plug in the battery tender?

    Wow, thanks for the info. Some vehicles can drain the battery in a few weeks if left alone. Since it has lots of electronics, I thought this might do the same.

    2012 RTL - how long before you plug in the battery tender?

    I'm going to be out of town for a week. Would you plug it in before you go? I have been riding regularly up until now.

    (Was Looking to buy... ) Now Have bought this 2017 RTL - Well she's mine!

    It should go 100k or more if taken care of. But one with 10k can break, also.

    Who is using a Pedal Commander? What do you think of it?

    I'm fine with my throttle response, but I can't help but wonder if there isn't a mechanical way to do the same thing.

    Routing USB power out of rear trunk 2012 RTL

    Thanks for the ideas. I'm not going forward with it. It will be for a rear camera. So it needs to go out the back. Also, I just noticed a hole for another antenna...

    Routing USB power out of rear trunk 2012 RTL

    I have USB power inside the trunk, just using an adapter. Is anyone using USB power outside the trunk? How did you get the cable outside? I'd prefer to avoid cutting if I can help it.

    My Best NAV/Audio solution for 2012 RTL

    YMMV, of course, but... First, the mount. I did not receive the factory nav unit with my Spyder. That is actually fine with me; I would prefer to use Google maps on my phone anyway. I bought this: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001414151204.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.0.0.2098f19cJpW9H4 I...
