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.
Do you need to remove the lid to replace top case strut? 2020 RTL
- Thread starter Kingz
- Start date
No need to remove lid. Remove passengers back rest, pop bottom strut off of ball pin, (using a pick or very small screwdriver), that allows the lid to raise up high enough to get bolt out of the top of the strut. "sorry no video" :thumbup: Bill
Note: This is for the 2020RTL,
I did Not remove the passengers seat to do this procedure . Only the back-rest.

I just had my dealer replace the top case and driver seat struts under warranty. I heard there was a bad batch of them installed on the 2020 RTL's.
No top case rack either. When I made the appointment, they said it's because of the rack. No rack installed so it was covered. I did buy the extended warranty, so it was included.

Wrong Year, He has a 2020 model, Everything is different.

Yes, that’s one of the major causes of confusion on the site, Rick. Posters not including the model and year of the Spyder which is having the problem, and responders not ensuring that their advice matches the OP’s model and year, if it is included. Very frustrating :dontknow:

we need a sub-forum for 2020 plus spYders RT-L
Peter (Aawen) may have done his thing to expand the title a bit, but the OP clearly posted in his first sentence. :dontknow:
And I put '2020 RTL' in the title too :banghead:
That said, it does seem that many readers do really only remember the very last sentence they just read; just like some car drivers can remember the color & make of the last car that passed them going the opposite way, but they simply don't see the well lit up & quite large oncoming Spyder that they just turned across in front of or pulled out into the way of!! :gaah:
So some have situational blindness issues; others have specific detail &/or sentence retention/comprehension issues; some of us even have growing gaps of 'forgettory' holes blasted into our otherwise wonderful memories of a lifetime; but that's just the way it is - just like there's no denying that your year/model Spyder/Ryker info is a whole lot more visible and a lot easier for readers to see/remember while replying to questions if each member adds that info to their sig line as requested in the Sticky at the top of the Spyder General Discussion section & also linked below:

Just in this thread, you can clearly see how easy it is to find that year/model info for me, Steve, Pete, Skip, Rick, Mikey, DT5534, & Knizar - cos it's all there at the bottom of each post we ever make, nice & easy for all/any reader to see.... :thumbup: Yeah orright, Pete & Skip may've gone juuust a little overboard & listed everything they've ever done/added to their Spyders too
but it's still pretty easy to see what year/model Spyder/Ryker they have! hyea::thumbup:

You have misread my post, Steve. I was not for one second claiming that Kingz did not put his model in the heading, just a generalisation that many people don’t, which creates misinformation, as does those who don’t verify that the info they are providing is for the relevant model user.:thumbup:

Mine is done for a reason though, Peter. I have limited my list to only include the mods which apply to big and tall riders, not everything I have ever done:shocked:. I have had several tall/big riders contact me for further discussion on how those mods may affect them after seeing them on my signature. There is no way I would include any other incidental mods. I am happy to remove the list if you believe I have gone overboard, but it would be removing a resource that may be of value to those riders who don’t fit the stock rider size mould

It's fine Pete :thumbup:
I just saw the end of a chain hanging there in both you'n Skip's sigs, & hadta give it a little bit of a yank to see what'd happen...
Hey that was easy. Didn’t realize that thing at the bottom was a spring clip. Thanks.
