• 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.

    Will using a USB Data blocker between my phone/glove box USB only allow charging? Will apps such as iHeart Radio/Apple maps still work?

    Hey all, I see threads where members are using USB data blockers on their Spyders. I plug my iPhone 15 Pro Max into my glove box USB to charge. My question is this: If I use a data blocker between my phone/glove box USB, will it only allow charging? Will apps such as iHeart Radio/SiriusXM/Apple...

    Does Apple CarPlay work well on your Spyder?

    I have a Garmin Zumo XT2 mounted on my RT S2S and really like it. I also have an iPhone 15 Pro Max that I plug into my glove box USB. I certainly could use Apple Maps, but on trips, I often have dropped cell coverage. Not an issue with satellite based Garmin.

    2026 model year reveal 8-17-25 6:45 PM

    I have. For years. I understand wanting to power the phone, but in this day/age, wireless isn't rocket science. Most motorcycle MFR's support wireless.

    Correct. But Apple carplay only works wired and thru a headset, correct? Wireless and no headset requirement would be nice.

    2026 model year reveal 8-17-25 6:45 PM

    The dashboard was updated in 2024. Heck, that won't be revised until 2028 at the earliest. Maybe it will be updated to fully functional Apple/Android car plays? Wireless would be ideal. Dream on...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Got my $143/shipped Gustaffson 25" dark smoke gray windscreen installed. Some slight blemishes, but overall very nice. It will be my everyday windshield, with my taller/wider/clear Isotta shield being my touring one. An added bonus is that my TricLED pop in windscreen vent deflectors fit. The...

    Did an upgrade Sway Bar improve your handling? Which one? And what about Shocks?

    I hear you about adding uprated springs on a lower quality shock. Normally, I would have liked to have had my front shocks dyno-ed to find out their spring rate limitation. That said, the OEM shocks seem to be pretty reliable and at around $100 each, pretty cheap to replace.

    My New 2025 Sea-to-Sky - any suggestions on what gear or upgrades to get first?

    Wow! You must have a ton of miles on your bone stock 2022 RT S2S. Refreshing to see someone putting that many miles on a Spyder with stock Kenda's, OEM suspension, seat, and handlebars. Nice!!

    Bad news if you want a set of 165/60R-15 Vredestein Quatracs from tire rack!

    I've had issues with 165/60R15 Vredesteins rubbing on my 2022 RT S2S fenders. Shimming/lower profile screws minimized, but not stopped, the rubbing issues. I'm 90% sure it wasn't rotor noise. Weird, as other than color, all 2020-2023 RT/RTL fenders are the same. No issues with 165/55R15 Kanines...

    What windshield bug cleaner do you use?

    Yup ... Just soak a bath towel in hot water, wring it out and drape it over your windscreen for a bit. Then use it to wipe off the bugs and dry with another towel.
