• 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.

Maintenance reminder?

P.W.

I'm Going to change the oil in our 2019 RTL in the next week or so. Is there any type of maintenance "service" reminder that needs to be reset?
Most new cars you need to reset some type of service reminder after an oil change.
Obviously this isn't a car ...but it is the first modern motorcycle I've changed the oil in.

Thanks in advance!!
P.W.
 
In owning 3 spyders I’ve never seen a reminder come up. Dealer says they reset in computer. I use to do every other oil change my self.
 
No such thing....

Not on these machines...I pin up a reminder in the garage where visable and go by that...:thumbup:
 
I stick a small piece of paper with the mileage due point on it in the glove box because I regularly use both A and B trip odos.
 
I don't change the oil or do the service at the recommended times in the manuals. It just seems way too long and I have never run a bike that many miles between oil changes. I went right back to the same easy to remember schedule I have been using for over 50 years. Did the first service at 2,500 and then every 5,000 miles after that. I realize these are air cooled. That and some other factors would make the oil last a lot longer, The Spyder is the first water cooled bike I ever owned. Still, it does not hurt a thing to change the oil and filters about twice as often as they recommend, and the service interval is easy to figure in your head.

FWIW......I use notes in my phone to keep track of everything regarding the Spyder, and my other bikes(one note folder each). Date, mileage done or date and/or mileage something needs to be done. Right down to when I last checked tire pressure. Sounds crazy, I know. Until you wish you could remember when you last did this or that. Like I said. FWIW
