• 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.

    Has The Rear Suspension Improved on the latest Spyders?

    We ride a 2017 RT Limited. We have had very limited problems and I am very happy with our Spdyer. Actually it is our 3rd one. We are thinking of a 2024 and wondering if there has been any actual improvement with the rear suspension? Overall the ride is satisfactory but my wife sometimes get...

    Is a rear suspension upgrade needed. 2017 RT

    Good day.....we have a 2017 Spyder RT. we ride between 15 - 20,000 kms a year. My wife only weighs about 130 - 135 lbs. I weigh about 200 lbs as the driver. She gets bounced around quite a bit and quite often when we hit a sudden large pot hole or bump in the road, she gets a pretty hard jolt...

    Long Story of trouble with Sena SM10

    Hello again Spyder Lovers. We have had a problem with the SM10 for almost a year....I won't relate all of the issues but I think I have narrowed the problem down to the location of the SM10. When it is mounted in the center of the rear trunk, it works perfectly for my wife. My signal seems to...

    Over heated upper compartment?

    Our 2017 RT is great and we love it. Miss riding now because of the damn winter and it is only getting colder!! Has anyone experienced an extreme amount of heat under and in the upper compartment? The one between your legs and under the handle bars. After riding for a couple of hours in normal...

    Problems with Sena SM10

    We have purchased a 2017 Rt Limited and we love it. We also have gone wireless for our headsets. So we went with the Sena 20s and the SM10 dongle. We have paired our headsets for intercom and that works great. When we paired the headsets to the Sm10, the music has a lot of static and low volume...

    Sena 20S or J & M Bluetooth headsets?

    Good Day Folks...we are considering going to wireless headsets. Likely going to purchase the Sena20s along with the 2017 RT this spring. I have been reading a fair amount of discussion regarding the "water resistance" issue with the Sena. I have not been able to find anything in regard to this...

    2012 RT-S-Bad Stator at 102,000 kms

    Back Oredered So it seems that my Stator problem may have been self inflicted. I use a power cable for my GPS attached to my battery via a Battery Tender cable. It was coiled up under the seat when not in use and it may have shorted out on either the seat pan or another metal piece there. I...

    2012 RT-S-Bad Stator at 102,000 kms

    Hi Gang....has anyone had a burned out stator on a 990? The SPyder went dead on me on Monday after eating too much ice cream!! When we stopped a message came up "Low Battery Voltage" I had never seen that before. It took the techs a long time to find the problem but the stator is "Burned Out" in...

    How High is High Milage?

    A little more info I really love my Spyder and it has allowed me to continue riding and I hope to ride for many years. This is a 2012 RTS so it is the 990 engine. Our extended warranty ran out in April 2017. We have the following problems, all of which were covered by warranty until the...

    How High is High Milage?

    Thanks for all the replys. It sounds encouraging for us to keep riding. The first issue was the teeth in the sprocket were stripped which caused some excitement as we were cruising down Whiteface Mountain in N.Y. The local dealer in Hudson Falls replaced the unit and it seemed fine. That was on...

    How High is High Milage?

    Good Day Folks. I have not been on this blog for a long time. It is great to see how much it has grown. My question is in regard to longevity of the Spyder RTS. I have a 2012 and we love riding it but there seems to be mechanical issues every year. The latest has to do the front sprocket...

    Messy back end!

    Has anyone corrected the dirty spray that comes up the rear of the Spyder? I believe that the trailer hitch deflects water and road grime, making a nice rooster tail up the back of both the bike and my wife. Any thoughts? :gaah:

    Cb Issues transmitting

    Thanks for the info! We haven't pulled the trailer yet, so no it does not seem to be that. I am wondering if it is a problem with the antenna, or a need for the J&M antenna update? It may very well be feed back from the headset. I will try some more testing today. Thanks again for all the help.

    Problem with SM5 Clutch

    We just got back from a great 14,000 mile trip to the west coast and back. I was having trouble getting in to second gear. After investigation our dealer found that a spring had been a problem and caused premature wear on the clutch. Parts are ordered and some are back ordered until the 20th...
