• 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.

    Did this come off my Spyder?

    I found this on the ground near where I park my 2021 RTL. I looked but could not find a place it might have come from. I found this probably 2 months ago thinking I would eventually figure out where it came from but no such luck. Am I chasing a ghost and this didn’t really come off my Spyder?

    Is this too much Air Bag Pressure?

    Did you buy the FOBO 2 Trike version and add another sensor to monitor the rear suspension pressure?

    What's the most gas you ever added to an almost empty tank?

    5.8 gal - 188 miles and I'm squeezing in as much gas as I can too.

    Having trouble Playing music from the cell phone - what am I missing?

    If you are hearing the phone in the frunk with an audio cord plugged into the 3.5mm audio jack of the phone then something is wrong with the cord or your phones 3.5mm jack has a problem. Your phone should recognize the cord being plugged in and not play from the external speakers anymore. Do...

    Newbie Question about handling

    I rode 2 wheels for 14 years which some of that was a 2005 Wing. Due to an accident I took a 5 year hiatus from riding and jumped into a 2021 Spyder RTL n May. I'm sure the gap in riding helped me but I didn't have a huge learning curve due to coming here first and reading the "Read this first"...

    Wife’s butt falls asleep on 2021 RTL seat. Got any suggestions?

    My wife doesn't ride with me a lot, especially on longer rides, but I have an AirHawk seat pad I throw in the trunk for her just in case this same situation comes up. So far she says the Spyder seat is the most comfortable of any motorcycle I have had including my 2005 Wing. But everyone's butt...

    Is there a belt guard for a 2020 rt Limited

    Doc, Curious of your experience with the belt guard. I put one on mine and ended up taking it off because it rubbed on the tire so bad. I'm thinking about ordering another one and trying again because I like the idea but there just isn't a lot of clearance between the tire and the belt for...

    RT Ltd 2020 - Are Adjustable side wind deflectors useful?

    I put them on the day I brought my 2021 home from the dealer. I had a 2005 Wing with Baker Air Wings many years ago and they are not going to give you that same experience. They are DEFINATELY better than the stock fixed ones. I rode in 97 degree mid-south humidity last weekend with t-shirt...

    Risers - Slingmods vs Helibars.... is there really that much difference??

    Helibars are not just risers. They are bars with multiple adjustment points on them that allow you to position them in all sorts of different configurations. Yes, they raise the bars but the adjustability of them is why they are so expensive. Those Slingmod risers just add space below the bars...

    Will I need a Driver Backrest-21’ Spyder RT Limited

    I would say first figure out if the stock handlebar position works because a lot of back and shoulder pain are fixed with risers and not a backrest, especially if you are not far back enough from the bars to really take advantage of a backrest. I was having shoulder and middle back pain on my...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed the SpyderPops belt guard and the upper vent grills. Also replaced the seat strut with the stronger one. Checked the belt tension since I had it on the lift to install the belt guard.

    Nolan helmets - what makes them so popular?

    I would say fit and price are the top two reasons people pick any helmet with wind noise and venting following those. I rode with a Nolan flip many years ago and fit and price were the two factors that influenced me. This time around with the new Spyder price wasn't an issue so I went with the...

    Do you wear boots when riding?

    I have been wearing Cruiserworks boots for a very long time. Too bad they don't make them anymore because I would love a new pair. They saved my feet when I crashed my 2008 Nomad in the Ozarks back in 2015. I wear them in case I have an unfortunate superman event on the Spyder.

    2020 RTL Seat strut barely holds the seat open - ideas?

    Thanks guys! I want some extra lift in my seat and didn't want to move my AirHawk every time I filled up. Just order myself a new strut and eyelet. :yes:

    2021 RT Limited BajaRon Sway Bar - DEFINITELY WORTH IT

    I should have written it like this..... There was no way I could have ridden that section with the stock sway bar as fast and aggressive as I did with the BajaRon bar. I updated my original post too. :ohyea:

    Mpg 9.9

    Timely post. I use the A-side to track my mileage between fill ups. My main mileage page was tracking the MPG average correctly but the A-side was showing something like 5MPG at my fill up. When I left the gas station I left the display on the A side so I could watch the instant MPG and...

    2021 RT Limited BajaRon Sway Bar - DEFINITELY WORTH IT

    This is an update to my original post. Over the weekend I rode a local road that is pretty twisty that I had not ridden since adding the BajaRon Sway Bar. After riding that section of road pretty aggressively I have to change my original observation and say that it does made a significant...

    2021 RT Limited BajaRon Sway Bar - DEFINITELY WORTH IT

    This has come up a few times here recently. I have a 2021 RTL that I replaced the sway bar on right at 1000 miles. I can tell a difference, but it wasn't what I call a significant difference. I do notice that it comes out of a turn much quicker and anything that felt like understeer before is...

    Zumo XT gets lost - how can I recover?

    I recently purchased a Zumo XT and I too am a huge Basecamp user and have years of routes saved in it. I had this happen to me on a short day ride after getting the Zumo XT and when I got back home I looked at the waypoints used on the route very closely where it "lost its mind". The route I...
