• 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.

Does anyone out there do there own spyder repair. Where can a guy get a shop repair manual and the troubleshooting software. I am tired of hauling this thing 2 1/2 hours down the road for someone to tell me they need to order a part.

thanks
 
I got my 08 shop manual on a CD format (searchable and printable) from ebay for under 10 bucks. Diagnosing the problem without the B.U.D.S. is the tough part. Sure you maybe able to know what the code stands for, but under the code is 4-5 possible causes of the problem. But if your dealer is like mine almost every single Spyder part had to be ordered. The wait for a part is 4 days minimal. So yes, we have to face the fact that we must go to the dealer anyways whether to pick up parts or to have them fix it. Just remember if you pick up parts and thats not the problem guess what you just wasted more time and even more money cause your going back there. Good luck !!!
 
You cannot get a legitimate copy of BUDS. Anything that is a software related issue, such as sensor calibration, has to be taken to a dealer for assistance.

Sorry to be the bearer of that bad news.
