• 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.

    Been a while since I visited this thread. Lots going on and more things to do. The shocks in question are from M2. Have installed the 300 lb/in front shock springs with a 1 cm preload at the bench. Installed these and also changed the rear shock spring from a 7" long 700 lb/in shock spring...

    Revisited the ACS calibration. A bit of a challenge in one's garage, need lots of weight to get to the desired height limits using those well calibrated wooden blocks. Put the trailer hitch on. Have to hook up the trailer and go for a ride with it attached. Went for a road test and all's...

    Have the Spyder back together. Cleared the error codes. The error code(s) was from the front wheels being stationary when I was adjusting the belt tension/alignment. Took it around for a short ride around the complex, more adjustment to be done. Have to rethink the wiring a bit. There is...

    Another shock option - The Shock Factory. Anyone tried them?

    Nice looking shocks. Price for a set for my 2014 RT is on par with a set of three from M2 shocks, live in Canada so the exchange gets us. Have the M2 shocks on my Spyder.

    Went for a ride up island to the Spyder dealer, good day for a ride. Needed some small bits, screws and such to put the Spyder panels back on, also needed a good excuse for a morning ride. Got the wiring completed and tested. All's good. Did use the fuse block for the wiring install. Reason...

    Riding into Canada - Any advice re ferries, border, travelling?

    Pasport is required, or an enhanced driver's licence can be used depending on the province. Check on line for the various provinces. Got this off the internet: "Enhanced Driver's Licenses are only valid for land and marine crossings, however, so you will not be able to fly to Canada with it as...

    Good work day. GPS mount and wiring installed. Cell phone dash mount and a voltmeter/USB connector installed. Using 6" RAM mount extenders. Installed a HELA DIN connector for my heated gear. Wiring not complete, but have rationalized the requirement. Won't be adding an accessory fuse...

    Peter - thanks for the answer. Had another look at the rear brake and I don't think the parking brake lever can be turned. Thanks for the info on the error issue. It's come to the fore. Was doing good until I increased the engine RPM. No error codes when at idle. The OEM service manual...

    2022 Work Period - My Spyder

    While I'm doing the rear wheel work, bought new rear brake pads when I got the Spyder. Did the fronts but not the rear. Touring this summer cross Canada so going to change out. The OEM service manual indicates that to retract the caliper piston, rotate the parking brake lever to retract the...

    Getting the Spyder back together. Wheel on and aligned, belt tension set. Trailer hitch connector installed, neat install, no Irish pendants hanging out. Looking for real estate to install the accessory fuse block. Think I have a spot in front of the ECU on the left side. Longer...

    More work done today. Rear wheel/brake/ and some panels on. Removed the rear wheel like IdahoMtnSpyder - of "It's yours - OWN IT" fame. Worked well, have not had to do any adjustments yet. The Kriket belt tensioner worked very well. Tire off the ground, came in at 140-150 lbs. Acceptable...

    Anybody used My Genius from Monster Fuel Injection?

    I queried the use of the My Genius Programmer from Monster Fuel Injection for my 2014 RTL. The email from the company mentioned that it could not be used on my Spyder. Send the company an email to ensure it works on your Spyder.

    2022 Work Period - My Spyder

    Been stripping the Spyder to do work. The trailer wiring harness is plug and play. Once I relaized the load on the signals was because the side mirrors were off, put the mirrors back on and all is well. Rear tire has been removed to take to the shop for install of new tire. I had ordered...

    Went to a couple of tire places here in Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island, and the one tire that could be had was the Kenda Kanine. We don't have the choice you fellows south of the border have, and the cost is significantly different. I'll see how it wears becasue our trip this year is to...

    Initial Maintenance and Work

    Had a revalation at 3:00 AM regarding the hyperflash I noticed yesterday after installing the trailer plug and play harness. This is a load issue. Had the side mirrors off. Installed these this morning, load in the system good - no more hyperflash. Thinking more issues solved in the wee...

    Getting ready to bite the bullet!

    Welcome. See that you are from Illinois. If you have ever rode a snowmobile, the Spyder is the summer extension and you will have no problem. Agree with Little Blue, ride the F3 and the RT and compare the two for two up riding. You could always get two F3s. You'll enjoy whichever you get...

    Initial Maintenance and Work

    Started the maintenance/prepping the Spyder for our trip cross Canada this summer. Looking for a spot to mount the new accessory fuse block and relay. Replaced the 250 lb-in front shock springs to 300 lb-in. More to follow on this change. Lots of weight up high on the RTL. Took the plastic...

    What are your Thoughts on a 2015 RT? Anything to look for/watch?

    Bought my 2014 RTL last March with 9000 Kms (just over 5K miles) on it - now have 18K Kms. Good looking machine, but it's a used machine so I did my own post purchase maintenance routine regardless of what paperwork came with it and checked it over. Lots of plastic, felt right at home since I...
