• 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.

Spyder just quit running while riding... Is this an isolated incident?

I am new to this site and to Spyders as well. My wife is interested in purchasing a Spyder so we rented a brand new RT limited for 3 days. On the way back to the rental shop I was riding in stop and go traffic for 30 minutes in 95F temperature. My speed was around 17MPH when the engine quit running. There was no response while trying to restart it while moving. I had enough momentum to make it to the shoulder of the road. After less than 5 minutes on the shoulder, it successfully restarted. My question is, is it a common occurrence, or an isolated incident? There were less than 800 miles on the Spyder when this happened.
 
That is not a normal thing!! Was it overheating, was there any codes or a check engine light? Was it running low on gas? I would have liked being able to see it! :unsure:
 
Wonder if it was vapour lock where it was so hot along with ethanol fuel and no air flow over the fuel system. Not really a fault of the machine in a sense.
