The other night I noticed for the first time an Orange warning light come on for a brief moment and then go off . The next day the same thing happen again but this time I noticed that my fuel gauge needle was burred past full and my temperature gauge needle was burred below the cold. after 30 seconds or so the gauges went back to normal showing proper fuel level and temperature of the bike and the orange warning light went off . To me it seems like a bad ground but before going down that rabbit hole i wanted to post a thread . any help on this would be great !! .:sour:

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.

Back then those guages were notoriously off and many just removed them both allowing the digital guages to appear on the screen. These were much more reliable. You could check the fuses to make sure there is good contact then pull the dash and check the connections there for good contact and might as well check battery connections as well. If you elect to remove them you can replace them with power supply, vold meters etc or simple cover plates....:thumbup: Welcome to the site and keep us informed on what you find....

You say if you disconnect the gauges the info appears on the screen? Does that make them any more accurate especially the temp which is always off

I can't swear that they are more accurate, but my guess is yes. You will need to disconnect both analog gauges in order to have them show up on the screen. You will then have two holes where you can install other items, like a clock that actually works, USB ports, 12V outlets, etc.

Can you take a pic showing what the fuel and temp looks like on the screen?
Ok so I tore into the Spyder. Started at the battery, checking all the grounds. Turns out the front gauges are grounded underneath & exposed to the road elements. I had a floating ground. I snipped the common ground wire, ran a new 14-gauge wire to a good ground, and my gauges came to life. Pulling all the faring off was a pain in the rear. But she’s back together and working. Thank you for all the tips. Let’s ride!
