• 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.

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    I covered the brake a bit much on my 40 mile trip and wondered if I was touching it too much. Funny all the warning happen when I am stopping & crawling to get the spyder into the garage. Maybe it didn't like my jerky cautious stop and go into the garage. Temperamental comes to mind! :joke:

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    I will pick up a voltmeter tomorrow. I finally picked up a good socket set to get in there and tighten everything, but since the dealership wants to pick it up and get this resolved I will give them the opportunity. I'm glad I got to my driveway when all these diagnostic lights went off, I...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    I got solid Green:D! I took it out on the highway to a friend's place. Came home after a great ride (put about 40 miles on her) a few minutes ago and right as I pulled up to my garage I got a DPS error flashing, VSS icon came on, ENGINE light flashing, oil light flashing, orange handlebar light...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    Ah yes, gotcha! No alternator...I forget this is not car! This is my first motorcyle-esque vehicle aside from a honda scooter when I was 17 years old! I have much to learn.:dontknow:

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    It took about 16 hours to start flashing GREEN :D. This indicates it is 80% charged. I bought a $30 "Deltran Battery Tender Junior" at Battery Plus yesterday. I was going to get the PLUS model, but they said it was overkill for a CAN-AM or a motorcycle. It outputs 12Vdc @ 750mA and the...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    :agree::agree:I finally got a hold of the dealer first thing this morning. He offered to pick the Spyder up. They will replace the battery if it won't hold a charge. I am going to let the tender finish charging the battery. I will tighten the connections myself. (Might as well get my hands...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    :agree:, an LED light could draw for days and not kill that battery! I finally have a green :D flashing light on the tender so I'm at 80% charge now! Sure did take long enough! I will wait until I get a solid :D green indicator and the I will monitor how long it holds the charge before needing...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    Thanks for the tip! :2thumbs: I will be checking things out today. I have been charging the battery all night. The tender charge light has yet to turn green after 15 hours! I am able to start it now, but I'm convinced the battery is not holding a charge. I will check all of the connections.

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    Well.. they are closed on Mondays and aren't even aware of the problem yet until tomorrow, but I agree that a great dealer should have not blame a LED cargo light for a battery drain issue when the light doesn't stay on when vehicle is off nor does it pull any notable amps to kill a battery in...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    :agree::agree::agree: I know they assembled it Saturday, they knew the battery was low Sunday and initially said they would not be able to deliver it until that afternoon to charge it. When they assumed the cargo light caused it they charged it for 2 hours and then delivered it ahead of...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    :agree: Is there a tender that is compatible with the Spyder that will charge correctly, but is available locally at a pepboys or autozone. The dealership is a hour away and closed on mondays.

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    Okay so the missing piece is not missing! Okay, no worries there! I thought maybe I lost it on my maiden voyage or it was never installed. I thought it came that way, but when I noticed the piece on the left I just started to worry. :2thumbs: The dealer thought the low battery was cause from...

    72 Hours with my Spyder RT-S SE5

    I sent this email below to my dealer, but they are closed on Mondays. My Spyder was delivered Saturday morning. Here it is Monday and it won't start & is missing a piece. Any suggestions would be helpful. Dear Dealer, I noticed a mesh piece missing on the right side that goes in the radiator...

    Faults on a new 2011 RT-S

    Thanks! I went with Timeless Black, I wanted to be less noticeable....it isn't working. :dontknow: They had a red one :spyder2:, but it's too ostentatious for me. It's supposed to be frigid and raining through Monday, but maybe I will get a few chances to practice getting the hang of it...

    Faults on a new 2011 RT-S

    Yeah..:agree:I read it right after posting my redundant post and right before reading yours. I got so excited I found someone who had the same issue, I quoted and replied and forgot to read past it! Having an ADD moment! :shocked:
