• 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.

Tach quit - 2020 RT-L

This afternoon my tach quit - just showing a 0, and the needle isn't moving either.
Anything I should be looking at ? Any suggestions ? Really don't want the 2 hour one way trip to my Dealer if it might be just a fuse. THX.

There are a lot of electronics on a spyder, I would disconnect the negative from the battery for a good 5 minutes to reset the electronic :dontknow:

I agree with FlyBoy's suggestion. A year or so after purchasing my Spyder new from a dealership I stopped to refuel and after turning on and off the ignition switch when I failed to set the parking brake I filled the tank, started the bike and rode off. I glanced down at the gauges and noticed the digital and analog tachs were off by 500-600 RPM; don't remember which was reading higher than the other. Rode for an hour or so and stopped for some liquid refreshment at which time I turned off the ignition key, removed it and walked into the store for my purchase. After a 15 min or so break I jumped on the bike, fired it up and the tachs were reading identically. Problem has never again happened. Touch wood.
 
Thanks Flyboy2121 and JayBros for the suggestions. Just tried it now, and the numbers and needle are back !! Damn touchy electronics.
I'll remember about disconnecting the battery tho - I have to do that with my modem when my internet goes down. THX again.
