• 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 know of/have a fog light bracket to mount lights here?

    I'm not aware of any brackets made to mount there. That would be a very harsh area to mount any lights, since they would be subject to all road impacts since it is below the shocks...

    Does anybody have a photo or sketch of how the Springs on the Stop light switch subject to the recall should look/be fitted, please?

    It would be possible except for the fact that the wiring from the switch to its' disconnect is tie-wrapped much higher up on the side behind the black panel.

    Can the Passenger Back Rest on a 2025 S2S be moved forward a few inches? Not the whole trunk, just the backrest...

    I agree with the recommendations to remove the backrest and take it to an automotive upholsterer. We did just that and came away with a "custom" backrest that now has lumbar support. Since this was a professional shop, they were able to completely reshape the padding and reuse the original vinyl...

    No Passenger Grip Heater Switch on '22 RT S2S - was the shortage on the grips, or just the switch? What do I need to make the heaters work?

    I have seen these models both ways you mentioned. Some were only missing the switch and some didn't have the heated handles installed. If you remove the passenger seat, you should be able to see if there are wires coming from the handles, in which case you only need the switch...

    Anyone know of a Seat protector for 2024 Sea to Sky to prevent scratches, but still allow heat?

    Check with Ultimate Seats. Years ago when buying one of their seats, you had the option of buying their "rain cover". The cover was made of Tyvek type material very similar to Frogg Toggs raingear. The covers had an elastic band that was very effective at keeping them on the seat.

    2016 Spyder F3 hard starting when hot.

    And if all that isn't enough, I do recall a firmware update that had to do with hard starting and compression...

    Trading in my Ryker, it's time for an F3-T - what issues should I be looking for/concerned about?

    If it's at a dealer get them to give you a BUDS2 report printout. If it's private party, make sure the oil was changed at the 3000 mile mark. If you've only ever ridden a Ryker, you will likely think the F3 is lower performance at first. Give yourself time to get used to it and you won't miss...

    Daylight Saving Time Change done successfully, but the date is wrong & no way I can see to correct it?! Any ideas?

    My 2025 S2S has the same software version. You are correct that the only thing you can change is the format, (12 or 24 hour), and the UTC offset. My suggestion to you based on my own bike, is to make sure you have a wifi connection. My bike had the correct date, and after adjusting the UTC...

    Has anyone else's 2022 Spyder RT Limited made this loud noise? Any ideas?

    Another thing to check is the air suspension feedback link arm. A lot of dealers put the arm with its "elbow" backwards. It may be snapping over center and/or broken. This would also cause the suspension fault.

    Anyone ever done a remote Purchase & Transport? Any insights?

    It's like any other remote purchase. (think Ebay or Amazon). There are sellers you can trust and ones you should not. As a newbie, beware of model years older than 10 years. Most dealers will not work on them, and parts can be hard to find. That said, not all sellers are evil. As an example...

    Can anyone identify this? Found on top of Piston #1 on a 2015 RT 1330

    For my two cents worth, have you been running premium octane fuel? For the above test, try running only Top-Tier Premium fuels before you pull the plugs again.

    Kenda tires - I truly don't understand the hateful responses to Kenda tires. I have over 22,000 km on mine and they're only 50% worn.

    It's not just the life of the tire that makes the Kenda's so terrible. For me, it's the extremely weak sidewall strength. We ride in the twisties a lot, and it is night and day difference in handling on car tires. A BajaRon sway bar, Elka shocks, and Vredestein tires, and my bike rides like it's...

    24 RT with a Delay in gear upshift, but not all the time - anyone else? Any fixes?

    Have dealer or someone with BUDS2 perform the procedure to reset the clutch engagement points.

    Compile a list of BUDS owners who are willing to help, by location?

    I have BUDS with the Mechatronic license. I'm in York, SC and charge $50 for a BUDS evaluation (which could include DESS disabling). The $50 helps to offset the cost of the equipment and license.
