• 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.

    No brake lights (not the fuse)?

    Final update and resolution: Before I had a chance to further diagnose anything the brake lights just started working again. I used some compressed air and cleaned the switch. I will still be getting a trailer light tester to make sure my wiring is ok before I attempt another hookup and I am...

    Just how do the Brake Switches work?

    Your scenario and errors are similar to mine but the symptoms are reversed. I have had no brake lights. Do you think a switch could be the issue with no break lights? https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?121815-No-brake-lights-(not-the-fuse)

    No brake lights (not the fuse)?

    Friday I had a test ride and I did some breaking under normal conditions around my neighborhood. The Spyder freaked out and went into limp mode and the Spyder was grounded for the holiday. Tonight I am tracing wires, but I think this could be a simple break light switch gone bad? Haven't got...

    No brake lights (not the fuse)?

    Yes the first time I have plugged it into the Spyder. It has been towed with a car successfully. I did pull the fuse and tested with emergency flashers (same fuse).

    No brake lights (not the fuse)?

    Brake lights were working until I plugged in the trailer, now they don't. :gaah: Running lights, hazards, and turn signals work all work on the trailer and on the bike when connected and not connected. I am using the RT harness (square plug) and the trailer has all LED bulbs. Before I go...

    New (2013) Solace Camper owner, any advice?

    Sure pegasus. Since you have experience with both, any difficulties or differences towing between the camping and cargo trailers? My cargo experience has been with the tag-along and estimated max 250-300 lbs. Kinda curious at what point weight becomes an issue? Even close to 300 lbs we had no...

    New (2013) Solace Camper owner, any advice?

    Since 2014 we've been traveling with our trusty modded Tag-Along trailer, but there have been limitations because we didn't have the complete freedom we wanted and relied a lot on hotels, cabins, and cottages for overnight stays. This changes today with the purchase of a 2013 Solace camping...

    Ohio License question

    I also encourage the Ohio Motorcycle Safety Course. Invaluable IMHO. It's much more than just learning the skills to ride on 2 wheels. Last time I checked it was still only $50 and a 2 or 3 day commitment for an entire life of safe riding. :2thumbs:

    Any Ohio riders attending Easyriders this year?

    Wow. This isn't the news I was expecting. Being a first timer I was expecting massive crowds.

    Any Ohio riders attending Easyriders this year?

    I was just curious if anyone else was maybe going to the Easyriders Rodeo 8/30-9/3 in Chillicothe? There are 4 of us going and camping Saturday & Sunday and I am the only Spyder rider in the group. Maybe I will see some more that weekend?

    Standard maintenance question.

    Okey dokey, seems easy enough. I've done lots of car brakes so should be no issues. Is there anything else to look at while I have it on jacks with the wheels off?

    Standard maintenance question.

    This week I am changing the brake pads on my 2014 RT for the first time (not bad for 15k miles of 2 up riding with a trailer). Is there anything I should be checking on the RT while I have it up on jacks? Dealer put some lube on the belt during the last check awhile ago. Thanks...

    3D modeling for Spyder stuff (Part 2)

    My original post. I had some ideas after I posted the original design for the base cap (right and left of dash cluster). This is my first installation of a 3D printed design and it works really well. I needed a mount for my rear view camera monitor. The mount that came with the monitor was...

    3D modeling for Spyder stuff

    Sharing some fun I am having while waiting for the rain to stop. I'm using my 3D printer now to make some accessory mods for my 2014 Spyder RT. This was created in Fusion 360. This is final draft for the base cap (right and left of dash cluster). The printed version is very sturdy and the...

    New Video: Scenic Roads, Sunsets, Bridges, And Fish

    It's Day 5 of this trip on our CanAm Spyder. On day 5 we finish our covered bridge tour in Ashtabula County Ohio. We also visit Pymatuning Reservoir and feed the carp. That's always a fun day trip. We pretty much rode all day and enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the way back to our Parkside...

    2nd day of touring covered bridges in Ashtabula County OH.

    We plan on doing the festival in the future. We grew up in Warren/Cortland and have family near the area so it's convenient. The ride is amazing, but as I mentioned in the Day 3 Video you have to be careful of the gravel roads for most of the bridges and take it slow.

    Thanks for the comments I am glad you enjoyed the video. She is indeed my wife of 21 wonderful years and sometimes I think she enjoys the Spyder more than I do. :D
