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.

The Cruise Control problem seems to be a common issue with the Spyder. Several times this has happened to me on the road. While cruising in 5th gear at 65+ mph I'll need to slow down (Cruise Control Off). The Cruise Control would not reset, I fiddle with it for a couple of miles before it finally resets again.
Question? Why are you turning the CC switch off to slow down? You have three options available to you.
1. Brake automatically discontinues CC. press CC button in the proper direction to reset speed.
2. Press CC button in opposite direction of " Set Speed " to reset CC to lower speed. then press CC button to " Accelerate mode" to gain speed and release when at cruise speed.
3. The way your doing it.
The real answer is to use it more then most of us do it. Use breeds familiarity which makes life so much easier IMHO! Don't just take my word for it try it an see for yourself. Last summer I went on a long ride and could not get my CC to work at all. So I found a shady tree on the side of the road. Stopped, got the book out and found the problem. I was doing it totally backwards. Armed with fresh data continued the ride al smile miles.
:shocked: How much do those switches cost? :shocked:
(It seems like we've had a bunch of them go bad... :gaah
For the 2013 RT, it's $384 :yikes:

On my 2012, the problem turned out to be the rubber stopper (708000759). It was too thick and caused the brake lever to not return far enough to shut the brake lights off all of the time. It also caused problems with the cruse. I cut the thickness in half and all is good now.

Cruise Control Problems
Mine was replaced under warranty because kill switch did not work. Now, cruise does not turn green, on. Can Am will not replace it because I was only 3 weeks till end of warranty when it was replaced, and now out of 24 month warranty. They say parts replaced under warranty have no further warranty for the part, not even 90 days. This is bull
