• 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.

    Switched power on 2018?

    On my 2018 RT, I used the gps2 connector on the right side, behind the gas tank to provide power for USB connectors. I can't say whether it would provide sufficient power for your XM receiver though. There are several threads regarding this connector. Hope this helps.

    Minor correction - Main event for Bikes, Blues, BBQ is in Fayetteville, but Eureka Springs is a favorite gathering place before, during or after the big rally. https://bikesbluesandbbq.org/

    Fault Code P0118

    My spyder is up and running again. On Saturday I did a visual inspection, spliced wires in, and wrapped new friction tape on the harness. The connector arrived in the mail today, and it was a simple matter to get it installed. The hardest part was getting my hand in the space to plug it in...

    Fault Code P0118

    Thanks, that's what I found after some searching. I have given up on trying to obtain one locally. Two of the auto parts stores said that they couldn't get the connector, the third said it would probably be cheaper ordering on-line. Still looking at ways to disassemble what I have, and will...

    Fault Code P0118

    Trying to add pictures of the connector. A quarter is included for scale.

    Fault Code P0118

    Just an update on my problem. I took the left side covers off this evening after work, and found the coolant temperature sensor. Apparently, a rodent has gotten onto my engine and chewed wiring. There is not enough wire remaining on the connector to try and splice. So I need to find a...

    Fault Code P0118

    Thanks for the information. Now I just need to figure out where the sensor is located to check it. My Spyder is still under warranty, but it's about a 40 mile trip to the nearest dealer.

    Fault Code P0118

    It has been just over a week since I last rode my 2018 RT, and it had no apparent issues when I parked it. The forecast was mild for today so I planned to ride to work. When I started it, the "check engine" light lit up, and I heard the blower come on. Fault code came up as P0118. Any...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    It was too wet to ryde today, so I installed LED headlights and "Vader" LED headlight eyebrows. Yesterday I installed a luggage rack.

    Need advice re Helmet lock for 2018 RT LTD?

    I use loops of paracord to hang my helmets there. Not really a secure solution, but at least it gives me a place to put them.

    Spyder Sightings

    I saw a blue Spyder westbound on AR Highway 22 in Paris, Arkansas a little after 1 PM today. It appeared to be traveling with a bright yellow 2-wheeler. And last Saturday (September 7) at the Mena Hamfest, I saw a gold colored Spyder and spoke to the owners from Paris, Texas. Sorry, I don't...

    GPS Power Location

    I need to find mine on my 2018 RT. I just bought a dual USB charger that mounts in the center switch position, and I think the GPS connector would be a good power source for it. Anyone know what the current rating is for that circuit?

    Trailer sale @ Northern Tool

    Reinforcement may not be a bad idea; however, the Ultra-Tow Tag-Along listed on the site says it has a steel frame. It's the model with the ABS cargo box as well. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200692633_200692633

    Trailer sale @ Northern Tool

    I like the Ultra-Tow Tag-Along listed on that page. Too bad I'm not quite ready for one; still working on accessorizing my RT, and the hitch isn't at the top of the priority list.

    Radio default

    Thanks, I do that. But it seems there should be a way for it to stay muted or volume down, instead of coming on every single time. When I test drove a Spyder at the dealer, I didn't have to shut off or mute the radio. I guess it's possible that they already had it done, and I never had the key...

    Radio default

    I have been the proud owner of a 2018 Spyder RT for about 1 1/2 months now. Lots of fun, but one thing bugs me. I don't really care for the radio when I ride, but every time I start it, the radio comes on after about 30 seconds. I turn it off every time, and have tried setting the auto volume to...

    Promised pics of "final" HF trailer painted to match Cognac Spyder

    I like what you did, and may eventually do something similar. Just curious - what kind of cargo shell is it? Were those the stock fenders for the trailer?

    Where did you get your "Handle"?

    Mine is a combination of the names of two dachshunds I had years ago, Rowdy and Scamp.
