• 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.

    BLUEKNIGHT911 - Diagnosed June, Passed away due to cancer 23 Oct 2024 - RIP

    That's fine Mike, I can make hotel arrangements. I might arrange a trip with a couple of other Spyder ryder friends from here in CT. Need to wait for this extreme heat to break plus other personal stuff going on. I'll let you know well ahead of time when we're planning on coming up.

    BLUEKNIGHT911 - Diagnosed June, Passed away due to cancer 23 Oct 2024 - RIP

    Mike, my friend, I'm so sad to hear this. I was thinking about you last month, that it was maybe getting time to go up your way again and do that ryde on Lincoln Gap Road that I missed last year. Hopefully you will be feeling better in time and if you are feeling capable enough, I'd like to...

    Will my 2024 F3T need a belt vibration damper?

    The OEM roller and bearing failed on my F3-S somewhere around 10,000 miles. It gouged the belt so my dealer gave me a new damper assembly and belt under warranty. I replace them myself but I used the Lamonster roller instead of the OEM. I now have an additional 30,000 miles on the bike and no...

    Anybody used Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-40 A3/B4 Adv Full Synthetic Motor Oil?

    I'm using Castrol Power1 4T full synthetic for my last 2 oil changes. Before that I was using Mobil1 4T motorcycle racing oil, but I found the Castrol on sale at Amazon for less and decided to try it. Bike's performance has been flawless with either oil.

    LH LED Headlight turned 45° in socket after install - any fixes?

    I don't know how helpful this will be but here are pics of how my Lamonster LEDs are installed in my F3-S. They are not 100% vertical.

    LH LED Headlight turned 45° in socket after install - any fixes?

    I had the same problem with the Lamonster LEDs. I spent some time fiddling with the rotation and found that they worked best with a slight rotation inward - maybe 10 or 15 degrees from vertical. I'll try to take a picture later.

    2012 RT SE5 Tranny won't disengage at idle - anyone else? Ideas on cause?

    Sounds exactly like the problem I had last year with my F3. Turned out to be a loose clutch hub nut. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?150902-1330-SE6-Clutch-engagement-at-idle-problem

    What GPS are you using?

    I have an XT. It took a little getting used to but the motorcycle specific features are very good.

    When To Replace Belt tensioner/Vibration Damper/Idler Pulley?

    My OEM roller failed at around 10,000 miles, scored the drive belt. I replaced it with the Lamonster roller which is still going strong with 36,000 miles on the bike now. Maybe I'll order a replacement now just in case...

    Are Vredestein Tires Directional? Does Ride-On come in 'bottles per tire'?

    Yes they are a directional tire. I can't comment on Ride On as I don't use it.

    Issues with Kenda Tires or Not?

    I voted that I didn't have any problems with the original Kendas. I got 10,000 miles or so out of the original rear tire and when I replaced it I replaced the front tires at the same time. Put on Vredestein Quatracs all around. What I noticed with the new tires was better performance - better...

    To do….or not to do? Should I replace these BEFORE they fail?

    Wait until it fails. Have the bike towed to dealer then trade it in for a new one.

    Suggest any battery warming gloves thin enough to wear under thick gloves?

    I have the WarmNSafe 12V bike powered glove liners but I got my daughter the battery powered ones for skiing and she says they work great. https://www.warmnsafe.com/collections/7-4v-heat-layer-products/products/heated-glove-liners

    Pedal Commander video on Banks power

    Yeah I think it's been pretty clearly documented that the Pedal Commander or Pedal Box only increases throttle response, not any true horsepower improvement at all. That being said the increased throttle response is a great pleasure to have. It makes the Spyder more fun to drive.
