• 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.

    LIMP.... CHECK ENGINE

    Forrest: It is very easy to check on how many throttle bodies have been replaced. Ask the sevice writer to print out your complete warranty record. He can do this in a matter of seconds. It will show what has been done to your Spyder under warranty no matter where the work was performed.

    Can Am Leaning Trike Patent

    Harley-Davidson has had a patent for a leaning trike for at least the past ten years. Still, you don't see any on the streets. I expect we will find BRP doing the same thing.

    LIMP.... CHECK ENGINE

    I have been in limp mode many times. Typically, I can maintain about 40+ mph. This is not fast enough for the interstate, but it is usually okay for secondary streets. Once while traveling in Nebraska, I went into limp mode at about 65 mph. Oddly enough, I was able to maintain about 60 mph for...

    Cruise Switch Kills Engine

    I don't think this problem has been reported by anyone else. It must be extremely rare. When I would turn on the cruise control on my 2011 RT, the engine would stop running, just like when I would use the kill switch. It didn't make any difference whether the Spyder was moving or not. The...

    Oil Drain Plug Issue ... Solved!

    Dimple drain plug I tried the Dimple brand drain plugs and did not like them. You need two different size sockets. When inserting the plug from below, the plug slides down into the socket and has to be supported. The o-ring prevents a reliable torque "feel" or reading. The o-ring on one of the...

    Automobile Tire Pressure on Sypder

    I have been running automobile tires on the rear for the past three years and on the front for over two years, with no problems. I run 35 psi on all three tires.

    Any Merit to being able to turn on Rad Fan?

    I have had a manual override switch for the fan on each of my three Spyders. I don't use it very often, but it comes in handy in a big traffic jam. It has also come in handy when my fan relay failed (three times).

    Scala G4 and iPhone

    Follow Up Now my problem has mysteriously disappeared. I went to the AT&T store this morning to find another iPhone to test. The store manager, a young lady (Ms. AT&T) immediately understood what I was talking about and volunteered her personal iPhone for the test. We paired her phone with the...

    Scala G4 and iPhone

    The problem is not that the G4 doesn't link (pair-up) with the iPhone. I can make a call using the G4 and I can hear the other party. The problem is that the other party cannot hear me. I realize that it will be necessary to contact Cardo Systems for help with this problem. I hope they don't...

    Scala G4 and iPhone

    Both microphones work fine in intercom mode. At least one of them works fine with a Nokia cell phone. No luck there.

    Scala G4 and iPhone

    My Scala G4 will not work properly with my iPhone when making or receiving a phone call. I can hear the other party, but they cannot hear me. It makes no difference whether or not I am going through my Zumo 550. The iPhone does other things perfectly, like wireless (Bluetooth) transmission of...

    Changed Screen Name

    In 2008, the first 2,500 Spyders manufactured (actually a few more) were designated as a "Premier Edition". The PE# was attached to the handlebars. It was a marketing gimmick, nothing more. The Spyders were not different in any other way.

    12,000 mile service

    I would be willing to bet that there has never been a single Spyder that needed a valve adjustment at 12,000 miles. So, there is no need for a valve inspection at 12,000 miles.

    Rear Air Bag

    There is no need for you to leave the Spyder with the dealer. Since you can hear the leak, it will be easy to find its location. This would be true for any significant leak (with or without soapy water). You will be able to ride until the part arrives, which should be no more than one week...

    Changed Screen Name

    I changed my screen name from Spyder1026 to WaltH. The number 1026 was the PE# for my 2008 GS. Jay Leno had #1 and I had #1026. As most of you know, PE# 1026 burned to the ground on May 4, 2009. I am now on my third Spyder with more to come in the future. My new screen name references the rider...
