• 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.

    Has anyone tried a Protek Battery for their RT? Is it a good one?

    Sorry never heard of that brand. Make sure that it has at least 350 amps I think it's called. Any less and it will crap out on you real quick or it won't start your Spyder. Spyders take all the juice that the battery has to start them. I went with Yausa battery. Think it's on sale on Amazon now...

    Front Pulley Failure! Incredibly Poor Dealer Response!

    On both the wife and my Spyders when the final fix was done on the front pulley, I questioned the service writer when I made the appointment for the recall to be done. Are you sure I don't need to leave the Spyders overnight for the stuff used on the shaft and pulley splines to cure? No, was the...

    Anybody go for a Ride Today? Post about your ride (with pics?)

    Rode to Vancover, WA on the 15th, stayed overnight and then came back home. Looked at the '24 Spyders at Pro Caliber. Liked the '24 S2S RT's. Liked the white color on it. A red RTL sure was pretty too. They are still there, I didn't come home with one. I'll have a look at a '25 when they finally...

    Need more Rider room - can I modify the pillion seat on RT, 2024?

    I had lower back surgery, and I couldn't ride more than an hour or two without a backrest. Once I put a backrest on, I can ride all day. Once you get your Spyder set up for you to fit on it, you might find that a backrest is what you're going to need to help you ride.

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    Haven't had any trouble with my '22 RTL. Well, I guess I did preventive maintenance - I took out the cheap battery and replaced with a Yuasa battery. My '17 RTL just needed the ride height link arm bolted on, and a hose clamp replaced. After that, no problems with it. The Wife's '19 F3L has had...

    Did my own 3000 mile oil change - not a big deal

    I wonder why no one jumped in on him about torquing down the drain plug? I'm not getting on you about this, but from reading on here in other oil change posts... Anyway, just a light turn of the motor drain plug after it touches is enough. If you see it drip a drop of oil, then tighten it just a...

    Has anybody heard any rumors on the 2025 Spyder Models? New line-up released!

    I thought of going with a '24 F3L, but with all the trouble they are having with '24's, I'm not even thinking of waiting for a '25! They can't get their stuff together to get the '24's fixed, so I sure don't think they'll be doing any better on the '25's! I might just go with a '23, since they...

    Riders Share - has anyone tried or rented their bike out ?

    Never let someone ride your Spyder. Insurance won't pay if they wreck it; did the person have a license to ride a 3-wheeler? My insurance won't pay for another person drive my car and get in a wreck. But it's your Spyder, do what you want... And they are probably going to sue you for their...

    Spring Start-Up Fail - any ideas or experience with this?

    Have you had the battery load tested? Might be good for some things but still not good enough to start Spyder. Just an idea.
