• 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.

    What is correct front suspension A arm attitude?

    You're correct in that the RT series does not have adjustable front shocks like the F3. With the RT, the only suspension "adjustment" is through the rear air bag system. The base models are manually set based on rider weight; the Limited models prior to 2020 models have a "hard/soft" switch to...

    Anyone else found an RT without the wire for lower front Auxiliary light?

    He did eventually get the grips and switch and the dealer installed them. It's only recently that he decided to add the front Auxiliary Light and we found the wiring was missing.

    Anyone else found an RT without the wire for lower front Auxiliary light?

    UPDATE!! The bike did not have the wire installed from the factory. My friend allowed the dealer to fabricate a wire to the front aux light and all is well with him now. This bike came from the factory without the pax heated grips and switch and now this. I wonder what else might be missing?

    Stuck fog light switch - any tricks, or new switch needed?

    Do a quick internet search for, "Carling Actuator Tool". They are about $5. Use one to remove the switch actuator (cap) and see if debris got underneath before replacing the entire switch. The switch is the Carling Contura series.

    What is correct front suspension A arm attitude?

    Don't worry about what it looks like. What is important is that you have the correct preload set on the shocks. On your bike, with the weight of rider, passenger, and cargo, (if always solo, then just your weight & cargo), measure between the upper and lower shock absorber mounting bolts. The...

    Can't remember how to replace the brake reservoir pin - Help?! '22 RT

    It's there as a lock to keep the reservoir from potentially getting bounced up and out of its slot. If you lift the reservoir off the bracket and put the lock back in first, you'll see how it can act as the lock. Then you can hold it out of the way as you place the reservoir back on. I also...

    Anyone else found an RT without the wire for lower front Auxiliary light?

    My friend has decided to take the bike back to the dealer to have them find and/or install the wire. Fingers crossed!

    Are Keys programed at the dealer only? Or can BUDS Megatech do it?

    It does not require the Megatech license. That's how the dealers can do it. Dealers are not permitted to have the Megatech license to my knowledge. The key must be accurately cut due to the fact that you must first turn the bike on using an original key, start BUDS/BUDS2, then follow the prompts...

    Are Keys programed at the dealer only? Or can BUDS Megatech do it?

    Yes. But the key must already be cut properly and be able to turn in the switch.

    Anyone else found an RT without the wire for lower front Auxiliary light?

    Between myself and numerous friends, we have all bought and installed the lower front auxiliary light on 2020 through 2023 RT's. Today I went to install one on another friends' 2022 RTL and found that there is no wire harness attached to the blanking plate installed in that location. I tried to...

    My 2022 S2S has a constant RPM fluctuation - problem, or normal?

    It only reads in 50 rpm increments. So, in reality you might be seeing 875... perfectly normal operation.

    How to disable DESS using BUDS? Any Step-by-Step Procedures?

    Peter, you're right. The break for Spyders is at the 2017 model year. BUDS is for 2008 - 2016, and BUDS2 is 2017 and newer.

    Can I plug-n-play Tricled & Showchrome harnesses?

    From my experience the quick answer is no. They use different connectors. I've resorted to using heat-shrink solder connectors and just cutting off the different ends that don't line up.

    If you want a cat delete, Monster tune, etc better buy it now

    I think it's more Chicken Little. Back in the early 70's we were all afraid that we'd never be able to work on our cars again, what with the new-fangled computers and fuel injection instead of carbs. Where there's a will, there's a way.

    Anyone else noticed this Unusual battery draw? 2023 RT Ltd

    Check for amperage draw after about 45 minutes after shutdown. 5.4 amps is a huge amount, but the other draws might go off after some time. Also, it seems like all new Spyders are coming with Chinese batteries now instead of Yuasa. I have personally changed out at least 3 for friends. These...
