• 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.

    HowTo: BUDS diagnoses no contact in start button - my DIY Fix!

    We use the kill switch every time. My understanding is that the kill switch shuts the engine down - and then the ignition switch shuts down the computerized systems or modules after they've had time to register the fact that the engine was already shut down. That makes the most sense IMHO.

    HowTo: Battery Replacing

    Here's a little "helper" tip that I came up with while replacing my battery (2010 RT-SE5). Because the battery lays on its side in the bike and the 2 terminal nuts are of the slide-in type (under the open-ended square terminal "bridges"), I set the nuts in place while the battery was on the work...

    Replacing the battery on a 2010-2012 RT

    One little "helper" tip that I came up with while replacing my battery (2010 RT-SE5). Because the 2 terminal nuts are of the slide-in type (under the open-ended square terminal "bridges"), I set the nuts in place while the battery was on the work bench - and then cut two 3/4 inch square pieces...

    HowTo: BUDS diagnoses no contact in start button - my DIY Fix!

    Hello trikermutha. The site that I bought it from included a 5 year license/authorization key along with the kit.

    HowTo: BUDS diagnoses no contact in start button - my DIY Fix!

    For what I paid, I thought the five year license I was offered was very generous - so I didn't ask for a shorter license term. The BUDS software shows multiple pages of different info for each ECM-controlled system. The start system page includes green colored ("lit up") dots that show when a...

    HowTo: BUDS diagnoses no contact in start button - my DIY Fix!

    I just want to pass-along some tech info that could be of some help to my fellow Spyder owners. I recently had (and fixed) an issue with an increasing no-start condition. Just for a bit of intro, wifey and I bought this 2010 Spyder RT-SE5 in January from a friend (who says he never experienced...
