• 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.

    Bad Key

    My 2015 F3 has been giving me " BAD KEY" when I go to start it, it does this with both keys and will start after anywhere from 1 to 5 tries. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan P.S. I tried searching forum for answers but it won't let me search "bad key". Not enough letters in the words.

    I would really like to know what you all think about this.

    So I sent a message to this dealer thru their website: "My 2015 RT limited (10800 miles)looks to be in need of a rear tire, brakes on all three wheels and an oil change. Can you give me a quote for this work and how soon could you do it? Thanks, Dan" Pretty straight forward I believe. This is...

    Rear shock question

    220 overweight 60 year old man realizes rear shock on new 2015 F3 is way too stiff. The shock is too stiff, not the man, well maybe the man too....but I digress. What are options? For the shock again, not the man. Thanks! Dan

    2015 F3 what are wires for?

    Just brought home a left over 2015 F3SM6. Next to the ignition switch on both sides are two filler caps. When I popped them open they both have wires attached. Can anyone tell me what the wires are for? Looking to put a USB connector near the bars for phone and GPS. Thanks in advance, Dan.

    My 2 cents on Homecoming.

    Just got back home from a great homecoming experience. Just over 1000 miles round trip. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves, felt very welcomed and appreciated as a customer. Plenty of good food was included, friendly employees everywhere we looked. There were smoking deals in the arena, I bought a...

    Thanks!

    Just wanted to say thank you to all who have posted articles about "how to". I have had very few problems with the 3 different Spyders I have owned, but when i did have an issue there has either been an article on how to fix it or an article laying out what to expect at the dealer. The knowledge...

    Garmin 590lm Rubber Cover

    So my 2015 RT Limited came with this nice rubber exterior cover for the Garmin 590lm mount when the GPS is not attached.

    Cross country on 2015 RT Limited

    So I just finished an amazing ride from San Jose, California to Rochester, NY. 3400 + miles. Over 10,800 feet up, 50 degrees to 107 degrees and 581 miles in one day. The Spyder was perfect. Period. The worst issue I had in two weeks on the road was my right mirror came loose because I pulled too...

    Misunderstood? 2015 issues?

    So a few days ago I posted about what I need to do to my not yet picked up 2015 RT limited. I had mentioned all the mods to my 2011 RTS that I had completed. Didn't get the help I was hoping for.... What I hope to find out is what the 2014/2015 RT's need to make them better than stock. Not...

I have the Hopnel H41TPC-2BK.This works ok, but I would love something a little more secure from wind. Any ideas...
