• 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.

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    After seeing your pictures, the risers will help a lot, you're slumped over like you're going to a race! No wonder you're feeling like are! Possibly an RT would have been a better choice for you.

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    Good luck with the test ride!!! Make sure it's around the same year and model, because it will make a difference. My 2012 RTL sounds completely different than my 2025 S2S, and I don't mean just the difference between the 998 and the 1330 motors, it has different sounds coming from under her...

    Used Spyders selling like mad here in North East Ohio! (March 2026)

    Everyone wants newer and better and have to sell their old stuff to make it work!! I've got a friends 2012 RTL to sell myself this Spring!!! He passed away and his wife wants me to handle it for her!! :censored:

    2015 F3 S - are there specific locations the footpegs adjust to? How far back? What to look for in a new to me purchase?

    Do you have any service records on this bike? Did a young person own it?

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    It sounds you have to get the bars and foot pegs in a different position for your body! And maybe relax your grip a little! And then it's new to you, but has there been any aftermarket stuff done to the bike, like sway bar, tires, shocks, front end alignment? All of those will make the ride and...

    Shifter woes have me stumped... Won't shift up - again! What's my next step?

    You're going to do a FULL drain and fill, you're going to dump the trans also right? With both filters, and dumping all oil pour 3 1/2 qts in run it, run it till the fan comes on twice check the level adjust till it's in the full zone on the stick!

    I get a Leg pain after riding the RT for more than half an hour - anyone else? Any solutions?

    Some of your problem is that you're using muscles you haven't used in a while, and you are tensing up most likely when turning! Try to relax and just hug the tank with your legs more.

    2016 RT Limited - lessons learned while adjusting the side box cable

    I repaired some tabs on a friend's 2012 with JB Weld, it worked like a champ, would do it again!!!

    Spyder decisions - any suggestions on what to buy as my first Spyder?

    First thing, is this bike for you or your wife? Because you went both ways on us in your post. Second thing, if you have the chance, you should put your butt on all the models and ride them if you get a chance, because what you said about the Ryker in my eyes isn't really how I felt when I rode...

    Shifter woes have me stumped... Won't shift up - again! What's my next step?

    I buy my oil from Amsoil and get my filters from Baja Ron's

    Battery Query - Does the Can-Bus system cause a battery drain?

    Load testing your battery would be the first thing I would do then you know for sure what you have there! To answer your other question about how long you can go without being on the charger, I never have mine on a charger all summer long, the only time it see's a charger/maintainer is in the...

    Anyone heard of or have one of these Spring loaded hitches?

    I have seen two of them never had the chance to use one! I suspect that if you're running a trailer with a dead axle to the frame it may have some use! :unsure: (y)
