• 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.

    RTS 2015 won’t start after installing new gauges/dash unit - any ideas?

    My dealer doesn’t sell Spyders. There are no Spyder dealers here, just the quads. I’ll call them and let them know. Thanks!

    RTS 2015 won’t start after installing new gauges/dash unit - any ideas?

    I ended up having to replace the gauges/dash unit on my 2015 RTS. The dealership sent me out the part, it was pretty easy to install, but now the trike won’t start. Battery reads as 11.92 volts and is relatively new. I’ve also tried jump starting from my car and no joy. Checked the fuses and...

    2015 RTS Blank computer screen, won’t start - any ideas?

    Looks like I don’t need an answer: after putting away all the components again, everything just worked! I’m guessing that one of the connectors was not properly seated or something similar? Not sure. I’ve started and stopped the trike several times now and taken a quick test drive and all seems...

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S0XJG7e4r2gr51FVadKotRTAOVVWK5u3/view?usp=drivesdk That’s a link to a video of symptoms. I can’t get the video link widget to work from my phone.

    2015 RTS Blank computer screen, won’t start - any ideas?

    To be certain, I tested the voltage of the battery. It’s showing as 12.5V. Pretty sure the battery is not the root cause. I’ll post a photo soon showing the screen. It’s not a dead screen, it’s on, just blank.

    2015 RTS Blank computer screen, won’t start - any ideas?

    Ok, here’s what happened, as best as I can recall. On my way back from the airport, on the motorway at 120kmh, the RTS dashboard blinked. All the electronics went out, then came back on. This repeated multiple times. The bike kept running, so I kept going. When I got to my exit, the electronic...

    Thanks for the replies, will update with a full description of what all happened and when, once I’m at my computer (typing that much on the phone would suck).

    2015 RTS Blank computer screen, won’t start - any ideas?

    Hi all, I have a 2015 RTS with some kind of fault in the electronics. I was unsure of the issue but figured I would start with a new battery. I just replaced the battery, and when I start the trike the dashboard displays all its lights like normal, but when the computer screen turns on (after...

    Where are the "stamped" VIN and Engine #'s

    Spent many hours trying to find the stamped VIN on my 2015 RTS. In case anyone else finds this thread via search, the location is different from the one shown for the 2014. To find the VIN, turn the handlebars all the way left and go the right side of the bike. There are two bars that come out...
