• 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.

    Starting the New Year right - picked up my new-to-me 2024 RT Limited!

    I started to drool a little when I saw you bike in front of Neptune's Net, I was at Pt Mugu in the mid 80's and used to ride there for lunch with their 1/2 pound of shrimp and clam chowder specials.

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

    Just like what Troop showed, the combo from Spyder Extras.

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

    I did it not so much for ground impact (and your new shocks should maintain the same ride height for good handling) but for protection from curbs and frontal impact as your Frunk is just hanging out there.

    Retro-Fitting OEM Heated Grips

    You probably will not get a reply as he was last seen on this site in Dec 2021. Tip: Before you reply to an old post hover over his Avatar and it will tell you when they were last on the site.

    Passenger Heated seat not working, but Driver's seat works off Passenger controls on 2023 S2S - where would the plug be? Any help?

    If it is not under the passenger seat, try looking in the channel that is under the front seat. it may have fallen down in there.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    My 2024 did not come with a split pin in the rear axle.

    Using Garmin GPS with XM radio for Nav & headset audio - any reason to pair to the Spyder?

    No reason to do it other than convenience. I pair my android and headsets to the bike so I can select media and control the phone music with the handy bike controls also volume/mute. I don't care for turn by turn so I have not paired my Zumo XT2. Lots of choices for you.

    Winter Maintenance - Should I be concerned about Moisture in the Tailpipe?

    Just cranking without starting it is even worse as the oil pump never gets to push oil where it needs to go and the next time you do it there is even less oil to lubricate parts. Just leave it alone it does not have a concept of time. Kind of like a photon traveling at the speed of light.

    What trailer hitch for a 2023 S2S?

    The harness is isolated from the bike with relays (solid state) so it will accommodate any trailer loads your trailer presents. So it is just a matter of pinouts to match your trailer.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I finally sold Weeble's garage mate, my BMW K1200LT that I've owned since new in 2004. She sat in my garage for three years and now I can order a Russel Day Long saddle for the Spyder.

    New software Update for Spyders Nov 30 '24 - anyone updated their '24 RT? What does it do?

    Don't forget you have to "enable" the camera in the configuration. Easy way to tell if you have enabled it (without installing a camera) is the blue screen on the right half of the screen when you are in reverse.

    Who has the factory adjustment data for a 2025 Spyder RT belt adjustment in mm?

    This is from the 2024 manual.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I stand corrected on FOBO, I misinterpreted their statement about usage shortening battery life, i.e. running the app all the time. After reading the manual again I see I was wrong. But I did get almost a year of battery life before they started to show the low battery alert. So I can live...
