• 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.

    Broken output shaft - Final Drive Belt Tension involvement?? Sept '23 BEFORE RECALL

    Thanks, Ron... I'll take a look to see what I can. I'm not sure how much is visible without taking too many things apart.

    Broken output shaft - Final Drive Belt Tension involvement?? Sept '23 BEFORE RECALL

    Is anyone aware of this problem happening to bikes outside of the Engine Output Shaft recall range (2017-2019 RT & F3)? My 2016 STS with 33,000 miles broke down last week and needed to be towed home. I have yet to get it towed to a dealership for inspection, but having taken off several left...

    Wife wants a Spyder, need some advice on any auto trans problems?

    FWIW, schools in NJ are primarily using Rykers these days, typically with one RT on the range. Not seeing F3s lately, not sure why or how widespread this is. Also...the school I work for has special keys for the Ryker that limit the top speed on the Ryker to 29mph...there was an "incident"...

    Trip odometer not working (temporarily)...

    Thanks, Peter! I have had no problems since, and often set my cruise as low as 29mph, but the low rev situation may be relevant. Happily, it was a brief issue for a day or two and has not recurred since.

    Trip odometer not working (temporarily)...

    2016 STS...16k+ miles...just had a 14k service done about a month ago. Went out for a group ryde today, and at my first fuel-up, I reset my Trip A odometer, as usual. About 2 miles down the road I noticed it was still on zero! I flipped to Trip B and this was working properly, so I reset this...

    Baja Ron Sway Bar - Will Dealership do the install?

    You can try Smith Marine (www.smithmarineusa.com) in Doylestown, PA. Or...if you use Facebook, look up Robert Heil in the Berks Spyder Ryders group (Allentown, PA area)...he's helped a few folks do the install for no $$.

    Any 2014 ST Ltd panel removal videos?

    Funny, AlphaJoe just asked the same... None that I recall seeing...when I had a coolant leak, I was advised to check the parts fiche at CheapCycleParts.com in order to see which screws come off which panels...so I'll pass on the same advice to you :)

    14k service questions...

    Thanks JayBros and ARTraveler... I will call back and ask if the cost of brake fluid flush/fill is "additional" or some overlap with the 14k service. As for the valve check, this is supposed to be included in the cost of the service, which has been estimated at $700 +/-, not in addition to...

    14k service questions...

    I'm (slightly over-) due for the 14k service on my 2016 ST-S, purchased new in Jan 2018. When I was scheduling the service, I asked about replacing the brake fluid, as noted in the MOM. The service manager said they inspect but do not change it unless they felt it necessary, e.g. dirty. He...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    First... Went to 'the dark side' with a Kumho Ecsta AST on the rear. OEM Kenda had just shy of 15,000 miles and wasn't gonna get too much more. My usual dealer wouldn't install non-OEM, so I found another dealer not much further away to do the rear. I considered the Kanine but seems to be on...

    Heated Grips - Warm Enough?

    2016 ST S questions

    My .02 I have a 2016 ST-S that I purchased new in Jan 2018 from a nearby dealer. I had it fitted with some of the "LTD" options...heated grips, fog lights, saddlebags, audio, backrest...and have since added...matching Givi trunk, fenderZ lighting and run/brake/turn lights, cupholders, phone...
