• 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.

    Flaming Spyder!!

    Fire I had a similar fire in my 2008 GS. One plug wire failed just above the plug boot. Started to lose power, temp started to rise then a backfire and limp mode. Pulled to the side of the road and when I shut it down I watched as fire shot out of the muffler. Burned for about 30 seconds...

    Stupid Turn Signals

    Turn signal switch Talk to your dealer. Had the same problems everyone is describing in addition to not returning to center location from the left. Noted this problem on my 2011 RTS when changing lanes. Tried the lub and it helped some but sill a problem. The dealer installed a newer...

    Checking oil

    Dip stick This looks very nice and quite simple to make. I wonder if someone again would explain why we cannot simply use a longer dip stick and just check the oil when the unit is cold. Like before a ride. Many times I am in a rush and don't have time to properly warm the bike up before...

    Temperature We winter in Desert Center, about 1 hour east of you. Summers are spent in Minnesota. Monitor the temperature at DC house. Too many triple digit days for us. Will return in October. One other :spyder2:in the park. He is from OK and with drought and heat there has not had much...

    Plug Wires or Y-Pipe Gaskets

    Checking plug wires It is very easy to visually check the plug wires. Just remove the side panels and when it is dark out start up the bike. If the wires are arcing you can see the sparking as it is quite visible.

    Thoughts and prayers The desert community where we spend our winters has a number of Ragsdales. All are descendants of "Desert Steve Ragsdale". He started the town of Desert Center, CA. Which is about 50 miles east of Palm Springs. During WWII Patton trained his tank corp there for the...

    Re-thinking the MC after a close call

    Similar thing happened to me today A teen came flying out of a private driveway with a cell phone cradled in his ear. Forced me into the ditch. He speed off, got the spyder back on the road and followed him for 2 miles. He hit speeds over 70 I'm sure trying to lose me. I backed off because...

    PARKING BRAKE POSITION

    parking brake touching TW That does not look right to me. I purchased the parking brake extension pad to move it further outside the TW so that it was easier for me to engage. I don't remember that it ever touched the TW. Try taking off the rubber portion of the brake pedal and then go for a...

    what is the cost of packing bearings on trailer?

    packing the bearings It takes me about 1/2 hour to do the job on my trailer wheels. Very simple. Dealer may have a flat rate that they use. Almost any auto repair shop could do it for you and maybe at a lower rate. I would check around.

    RSS - All I can say is WOW !

    Turn signal switch Slightly off topic but I had the turn signal switch on my 2011 RTS replaced by the dealer about 1 week ago. The original one failed and sometimes would not shut off at all. The dealer said this is the new model and after they completed the installation we both agreed that...

    Spyder Safety

    Bike vs trike Over 50 years of riding I have had 2 cases where the drivers first claimed they did not see me when they blew through a stop sign on country roads. First time was on my Honda PC-800. Took to the ditch and took out a few rows of corn. Bike tumbled and so did I. The second time...

    90° Grease gun adapter

    90 degree angle fitting I purchased one at Pep Boys in Palm Springs. Took it home and tried it without any success. Got more grease on the outside than in the zerk. Brought it back and asked for 90 degree zerks. Had removed one from the spyder to compare. They did not have any with the...
