• 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.

Rear Airbag Leaking

Hello Spyderlovers, my wife and I just purchased our first trike in September, a 2011 Spyder RT Limited. We love this thing. Being new to Spyders, I joined Spyderlovers.com back in Jan. and spend every night reading through countless threads trying to learn as much as I can. I have found this to be the best place to find any information about Spyders. Anyhow, just noticed that I have a leaking airbag. No matter how much I adjust it on the dash, no change in the ride. When I add air to the valve under the seat, it expands but I can visibly see the leak with the help of soapy water. My wife has had several back surgeries and I would like to get this fixed asap. We have planned our first long distance trip in May. So Question #1: I hear a clicking sound when the bike is running, coming from the area where the pump is for the airbag. Is that related to the airbag? Question #2: If so, is there a way to disconnect the power to the pump until I can change it? Will it cause damage to ride it like this? Thanks for any input.

The compressors have a high failure rate. That noise may be the compressor motor running. However, it may not be pumping.
