• 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.

2014 RT with intermittent buzzing noise - any ideas on what it might be?

I lately noticed an intermittent buzzing noise that sounds like it’s coming from under the seat near the rear of my 2014 Spyder RT (17,000 miles) when it is in 1st gear at idle at stoplights, etc. The noise disappears when I engage the park brake or put the machine in neutral and returns when I take the parking brake off put it back in gear? Nothing else appears affected. I’m not sure if the noise exists after I’m off and running because I couldn’t hear it over the engine. I can only hear it at idle. It sounds like an angry bee in a jar when it happens? Any ideas on what it might be?

So, let’s try this. Go back out to the machine to start it. BUT FIRST, flip the kill switch to STOP. Then, turn on the key, acknowledge the safety card screen with the MODE button. Do everything to get ready to start it. Then flip the kill switch to RUN. If you hear the same noise for about the next 3 seconds, it’s your fuel pump.

If not, then the component that operates based on being in gear or not, is your air pump for the rear suspension air bag. Thinking about it more, I think it’s more likely that.
