• 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.

Trailer question

I had a guy ask me at work today about the coordination feature between the trailer and the RT. I don't have the RT so I can't answer that. Is it just the lights or is there more?
 
Trailer Mode

The only coordination feature that I know of involves a different gearing ratio when pulling the trailer in "trailer mode". Provides for more low end torque through higher engine revs. When pulling my 622 trailer I tend only to use the trailer mode when I have it under load, otherwise I don't bother with the trailer mode setting. I have pulled many a trailer with my two wheelers in the past and I can honestly say that this trailer is by far the best pulling trailer I have ever owned. Smooth as silk and tracks extremely well behind the RT.

With the manual transmission, its only a connection for the lighting. No trailer mode.

This is not a different gear ratio. Trailer mode (SE model only) changes the point at which the Spyder downshifts...keeping rpm higher. It must be set manually in the menu, each time you start the Spyder. For the SM, you have to keep the revs up yourself.

It changes the upshift rpm too. It's right around 4500 rpm. You can change modes going down the road by hitting the mode button four times and the left select once.

:agree::clap: In other words... it will not let you shift from 3rd to 4th until you reach the higher RPM's
