• 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.

    Any ideas about why my Spyder has No Crank - What gives?

    If it is not in Neutral, it will not crank unless you press the brake pedal.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I took a trip to Greenville, Tn yesterday. Today I had Baja Ron install the JRI shocks on the front and an Elka shock on the rear. Due to rain moving in, I did not get to do a good test ride today with the new shocks. The little I got to do today shows great promise on better handling.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Getting ready to go to the SE Ohio Spyder Rally. Did a quick wash of my Spyder. Checked tire pressure and adjusted as needed. Recovered from being in the heat. Went to Costco to top off gas. Got caught in a little rain just before I got home.

    Does anyone have actual measured data for the various OEM Handlebar options Pull back on 2024+ RT's?

    I have the 2023 RT S2S and use a backrest. I did find after I got it coming from a 2016 RT LTD, I did find I had to stretch more on the S2S. I tracked down a riser that had the most I could find (2 to 2.5 in) and I am also 5'6". For me that was all the rise/set back I needed for a more relaxed...

    My first really, really close call on the Spyder

    This last Saturday in NC, the weather was great for riding. I had to go by the Costco in Greensboro for gas before heading out. The Costco in Greensboro is on West Wendover in a shopping center to the right of it. The main entrance has a signal, since Wendover is a verrry busy road. There is...

    Need Help logging onto this site - occasionally it won't, with msg "Your IP address has been blocked" - any ideas/explanation?

    I was having problems with slow response and links resetting. It ended up being my use of a VPN. If you are using a VPN, turn it off when connecting to this site or if your VPN allows it, tell it to bypass when on this site.

    2018 RT sporadic upshift issue - any suggestions?

    How is your battery? When I had a 2011 RT, it started acting up on shifting. It was a weak battery that caused the problem.

    Looking for a Tank bag - any suggestions?

    Yes, NC does have one. I have one on my 2023 RT S2S.

    2015 RSS with sporadic heavy steering - any ideas?

    If your lights are flickering when idling, your battery is on its last leg. I had a 2016 RT LMT and my added LED lights had started flickering when idling. Just after a trip I had made, while working on it, when I turned it on, BANG. Everything went dead. It ended up that the bang came from my...

    Not a Spyder Ryde, and not my ride either, but check out 'The Gorge Road'!

    I did the Snake some years ago with my wife on a VTX 1300 with a Star group to Shady Valley. We took 134 from there to Va and back home. I took my Spyder to Shady Valley and then took 91 and circled back around to Boone, NC. At some point, I want to stay on US421 going past Shady Valley to see...

    Does anybody use a GPS Tracking device for monitoring their Spyder's location?

    If you do not want to worry about the DSS to keep your Spyder from being stolen, kill the fuel pump with this https://www.slingmods.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=Plug%20N%27%20Play%20Phantom%20Shield%20 You turn it on with a remote and if you are close to it if someone tries to take...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Here in NC and Southern VA it got into the 80's today. I took a ride from Greensboro, NC to Meadows of Dan, Va. Then took the Blue Ridge Parkway North to US 220 and rode back to Greensboro. I saw plenty of motorcycles and a few Spyders also taking advantage todays great weather.

    My first really, really close call on the Spyder

    When I had my accident in 2010 due to a woman turning left in front of me, I had a hi-vis yellow shirt on, a modulated headlight on high beam and driving lights. She was on the phone when she turned in front of me and I was already in the intersection. Luckily I was not going fast but still...
