• 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.

    Learned how to keep windshield up after shutdown.

    I know this has been discussed before but I had to verify. If you like to have your windshield stay up at your desired height when you shut off bike, all you do is turn key to off and then hold the up button for the windshield for a couple of seconds. Windshield will stay up. This is for 2020...

    Is this a New procedure for Belt Alignment on 2021 RT's?

    I was going through the manual, and I came upon the section for belt alignment. It looks like the procedure has changed since my old 2011. If I am reading it right, it states to go by the front sprocket and not the rear sprocket. Thought I would put it out there. Bruce

    Is there an Acc mode to play radio when 2020+ Models are shut down?

    I was wondering if there is an accessory mode to keep playing radio after shutting Spyder down. On the 2011 you held the mode switch down after shutting Spyder off. Then radio would play. Was not able to find any info in manual. Bruce
