• 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.

    The fender lights are not DRLs, they are "Position Lights" DRLs are in your headlights.

    Selling a Spyder

    Hey @LEEB - that bridge is right next to me! Are you far from Smith Marine? Ask them to sell it. See what price they give you.

    ECM Electronic Control Module gone bad at 18000 miles

    That's actually funny in a not-funny way. You should ask the dealer which two cylinders are not firing, and have them physically show you on a twin engine, that only has two cylinders :) ECM almost never fails unless it's burned out, but for that you need to either reverse the polarity (connect...

    Was a Spyder a Mistake?

    w6ada - you gotta remember that people mostly post questions about problems they're having on forums, not to brag how reliable or great something is. Also, negative news travel faster and prompt more replies than something positive, so by definition you'll find more problems on forums. I...

    Bright orange liquid

    Resolved! I found the problem. It was a 1 in a million chance of things going wrong :) The breather tube is routed through a hole in plastic subfloor on F3, so it was extremely difficult to figure out what was wrong. I decided to do a pressure test, for that I needed to find the end of the...

    Bright orange liquid

    I'm thinking it could be the cap not sealing well. All my connections are dry and I don't see any cracks. I'll add the coolant and replace the cap. I'll also have the dealer look things over.

    Bright orange liquid

    The metal doodad that connects wheel to the frame. You understood me :)

    Bright orange liquid

    no, the overflow hose is in the right place and is routed all the way down. I'm afraid the tank is cracked, the coolant is way below the cold line. The spyder is still under warranty, I'll have to make a trip to the dealer.

    Bright orange liquid

    Yep, it's coolant. Now I gotta figure out how it gets on the swing arm :banghead:

    Another Tire Pressure Question.....

    Tire that's on the sunny side might register 1-2 psi higher. Make sure you measure them cold and in the shade. Pressure should be equal.

    Bright orange liquid

    Coolant leak - Fixed I commuted on my F3 to work today, when I got back home I noticed droplets of bright orange liquid on the right swing arm, right under the shock. The shock does not appear to be leaking. I believe the coolant expansion tank is also on the same side. Is it coolant? Do you...

    Millennials and Harley Davidson

    Who in HD decided to price their electric motorcycle at $30K when you can get a Zero Electric motorcycle with double the range for half the price? I don't think HD is trying to appeal to the new crowd with a motorcycle that costs more than a car. It's like they're trying really hard to show that...

    Child swipes F3

    After the lawyers are done with this case we'd need to constantly hold the MODE button down to ride. It always takes one idiot to spoil the fun for everyone.

    So you really really want to ride this winter?

    does it come in a set of 2 with 2 reading lights?

    Which light/light strip to add?

    I'd save on lighting and get a hi-viz helmet and a bright, reflective jacket.
