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.
2020 Spyder RT no auxiliary power

I was hoping to avoid that -
so I was hooking up the aux power for aftermarket light (lower front on 2020 rt) and decided to volt meter the the wires first since sometimes they are reversed and I slipped with probes and shorted the wires together.
no sparks or heat in wires - so I probed again and 0 volts.
So I started checking the rest of the RT - running lights ok, bike started - oops no headlights - in another thread I found out I blew headlight 7.5Amp fuse
So now we also know that the headlights power and aux power share same fuse.
My new ride continues to be a challenge - need to move fast - winter is coming - hopefully I won't have to get rid of it next spring.
I enjoy modding and want to learn the RT - first time I've hosed up an install/mod - hope others can learn from my careless mistakes.
Both my 2008 RS and 2015 F3 were so much easier to work on and access things
RT panels are huge and require pushing and pulling to snap off in different places - not a comfortable 1st time experience. Bring back the many screws with rubber washers - unscrew lift off small panels - simple.
Well finally - I properly installed the aftermarket bottom of front bumper led light ($24 because they only come 2 to an order, so technically $12) - fits tight and works great - super light.
So, when you start bike the light comes on and when you turn off the bike it is a delayed turn off with headlights. That lower light will light up the ground in front of you.
