• 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.

    Turn signal dash light hyperflashes, rear light doesn't work - 2015 RT-S - Any Ideas?

    Original bulb was OEM halogen type and new one is the same. All the lights on the bike are OEM. Someone suggested to me to check the wiring harness ground connections. Except for the negative terminal on the battery itself, does anyone know where there might be additional ground terminals on the...

    Turn signal dash light hyperflashes, rear light doesn't work - 2015 RT-S - Any Ideas?

    Putting in a new bulb was the very first thing I did - no change! I switched out the ‘supposed defective bulb’ for the left rear bulb and same issue on the right side. The ‘supposed defective bulb’ works fine on the left side rear of bike. This tells me that the bulb is not the problem. I even...

    Right rear turn signal not working. When pressing the right turn signal button, the dash turn signal lights hyper flash and the rear flasher does not come on. I managed to get rid of the hyper flash and when I turned on the ignition and pressed the right turn signal button everything worked...

    Turn signal dash light hyperflashes, rear light doesn't work - 2015 RT-S - Any Ideas?

    I do not have a hitch and harness installed. Sounds like I will have to remove some additional body panels to access the wiring harness. Any thoughts as to whether it may be the turn signal switch in the handlebar cluster?

    Turn signal dash light hyperflashes, rear light doesn't work - 2015 RT-S - Any Ideas?

    Thank you for the input! Where would I find this diode and what does it look like (I am better at understanding mechanical rather than electrical issues)?

    Turn signal dash light hyperflashes, rear light doesn't work - 2015 RT-S - Any Ideas?

    Thank you for your input! Ground appears good. Furthermore, the whole right rear light assembly (brake lights, turn signal light and reverse light) was plugged into the harness on the left side of the bike and every light worked. This suggests that there is no fault with any of the socket...

    Rear direction indicator light not working

    I have a 2015 Spyder RT S. The other day, the right rear indicator light stopped working. The dash light, however, flashes rapidly as compared to the left one after pressing the turn signal button. Thinking the problem was a blown bulb, I accessed the bulb housing, removed the old bulb and...

    Downshifts occur at very low rpm's

    Thank you all for your insights and advice. Glad to know that no damage is or has been done to the bike. Looks like I will be doing the downshifting most of the time since I like to be in the proper power band at all times.

    Downshifts occur at very low rpm's

    Being new to Spyders and coming from the 2 wheel motorcycle world, I noticed on my first ride on our recently acquired 2015 Spyder RT S that the automatic downshifts occurred at very low rpm's after backing off the throttle. The downshift going from 4th to 3rd occurred around the 1000 - 1200 rpm...

    Sticky handle bar throttle grip

    Sticky handle bar throttle grip solved I screwed off the end cap and noticed that the inner flange was not perfectly circular in shape. Upon closer inspection, it looked like one of the previous owners had this same problem and had attempted to file the flange to reduce the diameter. I tried...

    Sticky handle bar throttle grip

    My handlebar throttle grip has foam sleeves over the grip. I noticed the other day on startup that the engine 'roared' to life - not that loud but louder than normal. I noticed that the throttle grip had not sprung back to its full 'off' position. Being fuel injected, I understand this issue...

    New rear tire,Spyder goes into limp mode

    Scarlet is now back from the dealer. Everything seems fine. The rear wheel sensor fault was reset, active VCM code was reset and no parts were broken, missing, or needed replacement. They wondered if the rear wheel was spun on the jack to set up the belt tension and alignment after the new rear...

    New rear tire,Spyder goes into limp mode

    Rechecked the brake fluid reservoir - looked clean and full. Checked the brake light globes and circuit - no burned out globes and brake lights come on when brake pedal is depressed. Tried resetting the brake low pressure switch by first gently pressing on the brake pedal to hear the first click...

    New rear tire,Spyder goes into limp mode

    First off, thanks to all respondents for your suggestions. I dropped the rear tire pressure from 25 - 20 psi, checked brake fluid levels, removed the rear wheel sensor (it was dirty), reinstalled it and measured the gap to specs and the lights are still on! Both my wife and I being new to...
