• 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.

    Open Trailers for towing Spyders - what's the best suspension type? Experience, opinions, or are we just over-thinking this?

    I have more trailers than I have vehicles or tractors. You have many good answers here, and I always get a giggle out of those who mention expensive. My lord man, you bought a spyder. Yes, if you live over your one and a half car garage in the middle of a condominium complex, then yes, a folding...

    Let’s start a fad - passing Spider Rings (from Amazon) to other Spyders

    Yeah, it's a Harley thing, not a Spyder thing.

    2024 will not start after long ride then parked for 1 hr - Anyone else? What fix?

    Weird! What gave you the idea of removing body parts to make it start? 80 degrees is not hot. 110 is hot. Try giving it a "very quick" shot of starting fluid directly into the air filter intake. If it fires, then I'd say it's a fuel issue. I don't recall ever hearing or reading about this kind...

    Replaced the Battery, but still no power! Any ideas?

    Get out your 12v tester and start testing connections. First I'd be suspicious of fuses that look good. I've had a blown fuse before that looked good (several times) but was actually blown. If you tried jumping with a good battery and had good contacts, then your problem is upstream from the...

    It pays to buy quality gear

    My wife and I wear the same sized jacket. A couple of years ago I bought two new military flight jackets. Well made, very warm, and nothing gets through them. The only downside is you can't roll them up and stuff them anywhere. That just ain't gonna happen. You have to wear them until you get...

    Yes it’s the age old tire question… What's currently the best replacement?

    I agree with Ron here, Vredestiens are quality tires, and best wishes to your son.

    How did I mess this up?!!! Removed the frunk to do some work, ran the Spyder with it off, & now have all sorts of warnings & Limp Home Mode!! Help?!

    Well, at least you're halfway done; you don't have to limp home. As mentioned above, put'er back together, fire her up, ride her around, and "IF" everything goes back to normal, don't do that again. Wishing you good luck.

    Any takers to Car wash your Spyder?

    Go for it and let us know how it comes out. He**, maybe you're on to something here that no one's had the courage to try. LOL

    Sliding off floor lift (GAH!) - What do you do to keep your Spyder from sliding off the jack?

    Well, I did, and the lead mechanic left the dealership and started his own business. Many others and I followed him. That was less than a year ago, and already he's a week or two behind doing customers' work. If you ride on and off road, the guys you ride with will know who does good work.

    Towing - To cover, or not to cover?

    Careful Peter, you're starting to think and sound like me. LOL

    Sliding off floor lift (GAH!) - What do you do to keep your Spyder from sliding off the jack?

    If you can afford a Spyder, you certainly can afford a stealer (dealer) to work on it for you. Ambulance trips and hospital stays are just too damn expensive these days.

    Any takers to Car wash your Spyder?

    Wear a seatbelt and goggles and you should be just fine.

    Towing - To cover, or not to cover?

    I own more trailers than a sane person would have. JMHO based on my experiences. Short hauls, open trailer. Long hauls, enclosed trailers. Each one has its benefits and shortcomings depending on how you use it.

    Any feedback on this Inexpensive Bluetooth Intercomm for all helmets?

    Been with Sena since 2014 and still running great. With all the crapola I have running on it, I'm amazed it works at all. Intercom, radio, phone, FOBOs (including trailer), and a camera. Learning the 7-step startup sequence is like following a check off list for a jet! Because I'm just short of...

    Anyone have experience with the 2020+ Bumper/skid plate??? Your thoughts?

    There are many "no no's" one has to learn when riding 2 or 3 wheels. Years of experience will undoubtedly teach you all of them. The first good scrape on your Spyder should be your last one. Two scrapes in say 10 years? Well, that's not too bad, you're still good. We'll blame it on your old...
