• 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.

    Is the F3 rear shock different to the RT's?

    I've been looking to replace my RT that I gave to my son and didn't realize how much I would miss it. Found a 2018 F3 that looks interesting. Passenger backrest and arm rests. I've never driven an F3, but I hear a lot of people complaining about bottoming out when 2 up and having to change...

    What's with all these BS fees?!

    I gave my Spyder to my son a few months ago and didn't realize how much I would miss it, so I have been looking for a used one, 2014 - 2016. I now understand what everyone is talking about with the dealer add on fees. One in particular, without even trying to negotiate a price lower than the...

    What are these things?

    Looking at a 2014 RT. There are some items attached to it that I don't have a clue as to what they are. The panel of rocker switches just to the left of the bag, and the two rotary switches at the lower left. Any clue?

    What is the difference between the '14, '15, & '16 RT's?

    Gave my 2015 Spyder RT to my son several months ago. Didn't realize how much I would miss it. Looking to replace it. I've seen a 2014, 2015, and a 2016 that interest me, all with about the same mileage. Can someone tell me what the difference in them is other than the year and the price...

    Bye bye Spyder

    Just gave my Spyder to my youngest son. He lives about 50 miles from me. Wasn't ryding very much. I used to sit in the garage with the door open just looking at it. I will miss it, but I think it will get used a lot more than I was using it.:(:(:(

    Most fantastic shine ever

    When I got my Spyder back from the shop, the wheels were filthy. My lovely wife volunteered to wash them down and clean them. About an hour later, she came back in. I asked what took so long. She said she decided to wax the whole machine. She said go take a look. I couldn't believe what I...

    Convince non-Spyder guy about tire pressures

    Finally got my Spyder back from the shop after three weeks, delayed mostly because the whole family was sick. They had to balance the front the tires twice to get rid of the shimmy. (or so they claim. We will find out) And, they are auto tires. Started ryding and checked the TPS. They had...

    Shimmy at about 48 mph up to 56 mph - best guess?

    2015 RTL. 19,000 miles. Almost new auto tires front and rear. Tires have been balanced, laser alignment, BajaRon sway bar, 18 psi front, 20 psi rear. Have tried 16 psi front. Same difference. Just started getting a shimmy starting at about 48 mph, at least up to 56 mph. Prior to this...

    Aftermarket products. Does anyone know anything about anything?

    My son has a 2008 Harley Electraglide Classic. Wants to put on 14" ape hangar bars. Ordered "full" install kit. Didn't come with wire extensions for the turn signals, headlights, etc. Called about it. "Oh, we didn't know whether you wanted those or not. They're extra". If it is supposed to...

    Morons in Canada

    Selling my OEM muffler. A fellow just wanted the chrome end piece and the chrome side piece. OK. Took the end piece off. Allen head screws. 4 of them. Supposed to have a washer underneath. One didn't have a washer. Not to worry though. One of them had two washers underneath. Very...

    Is my Zumo 590 GPS Dead? Won't turn on?

    My Zumo won't go on even if in the cradle on the Spyder or plugged in to the computer or cell phone charger. Is this indicative of just a completely dead battery or something far greater, as in dead, dead, dead?:popcorn::gaah:

    GPS Update still showing old Spyder Dealer location?!

    I have a Garmin Zumo 590 on the Spyder. There was another map upgrade today. After upgrade, I checked the address it was showing for the local Spyder dealer. They moved to a new location at least 5 years ago. 5 years. They are still showing the old address. If I followed the directions...

    Long maintenance time

    Finally got the Spyder back after 3 1/2 weeks in the shop to do 2 1/2 hrs labor to install a $6.00 gasket on the crankcase cover. :yes: Then, on the ride home, I couldn't figure out why I was getting beat up so badly. It finally occurred to me... they had lowered the windshield all the way...

    Twitchy

    2015 RTL. 18000 miles. BajaRon sway bar. Almost new automobile tires, 17psi F, 20psi R. Had laser wheel alignment. Even on a smooth road, Spyder feels twitchy. Feels like it is jumping around. On cruise control, take right hand of bars and lightly keep left hand on. Still feels twitchy...

    Tire and mirror shine

    Just tried a new product called "Chemical Boys Tire & Trim Restorer" Put it on the tires and mirrors (actually, my wife did). Fantastic. Tires have a glow and the mirrors are as clean as I have ever seen them. I'm sure it would do well on the windshield also. Probably on the whole Spyder if...

    Trying to bluetooth music from Zumo 590 - Help?

    I admit I am very old and confused. I have a Zumo 590 with a micro SD card installed. I have music on the SD card. I have a Sena SMH10 intercom on my helmet. The Sena bluetooths automatically to my phone and I can listen to music from that. However, I have not been able to figure out how to...

    ACS suspension settings

    2015 RTL. I always thought that setting the bar graph to the top would give the stiffest ride. If I read the information below from the owners manual, it is the exact opposite. Seems illogical. Please advise.:popcorn: ACS SUSPENSION SETTINGS BAR GRAPH INDICATION IN MULTIFUNCTION GAUGE...
