• 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.

    Is it necessary to disconnect/purge the auto levelling system when fitting an a/mkt shock?

    Yeah. Once you're done, you can do that. Seems to wake up the ACS logic sometimes - although why I don't know - and it takes over after that.

    Is it necessary to disconnect/purge the auto levelling system when fitting an a/mkt shock?

    Release the air pressure, but don't disconnect anything. Just remove the inner valve guts from the Schrader valve under the seat. And, don't forget to disconnect the linkage for the ride height sensor - remove the upper bolt - on the left side.

    How do I go about getting new keys for my 2014 Spyder RT? Is there any way to get into a locked rear trunk?

    The lock for your trunk is nothing more than a pin tumbler lock. Very basic stuff. It doesn't require the security chip in your key to open it, nor is there a “code”. If your lock smith has the expertise to unlock and open your front door if you got locked out of your house, then he has the...

    How do I go about getting new keys for my 2014 Spyder RT? Is there any way to get into a locked rear trunk?

    Exactly. Imagine being on a trip a loooong way from home. You're coming out of the restaurant, you go to fish the key out of your pocket and drop it down the storm sewer grate... and it's the only key you have... and it's a long way down. Saving money is the American way, but sometimes you just...

    How do I go about getting new keys for my 2014 Spyder RT? Is there any way to get into a locked rear trunk?

    No, not right. You have to buy a blank Spyder key because the chip on the key is coded from the factory. THEN, you can take the blank to your locksmith to get it cut to the lock… if possible. THEN, it needs to be programmed to the bike with BUDS, either by a dealer or a private person with BUDS...

    2022 RT Ltd windshield not raising with switch activation - any suggestions?

    I wish you guys would make up your mind. ;) (I don’t even have to push the Mode button. Just tried it again to be certain)

    Thank you. Clarifies a lot.

    2022 RT Ltd windshield not raising with switch activation - any suggestions?

    Well, Ottawa - my '23 only needs the ignition on. Doesn't need the engine running. It was a welcome and convenient change from my 2012. But, things do change from year to year. The OP has a '22. What year is your Spyder? Have you tried it?

    08 Rear Caliper won't compress - any ideas?

    You're correct. That piston does not screw in. So, by saying that the parking brake is fully "backed out" - Do you mean that you have removed the lever, and have turned the splined shaft FULLY CCW? That's what you need to do. Opening the bleeder is not necessary. I have always found that I...

    2022 RT Ltd windshield not raising with switch activation - any suggestions?

    Well, it's not on the left handlebar like on your F3, it's down in front of you on the console. Sorry, but I have to cover all the bases. Next, there is nothing between the switch and module except connectors and wires. See attached. Might just be a bad module, connector pin, or wire issue. Do...

    Can't find my 2022 RTL's Driver Heated Seat Connection - any suggestions??

    Hey klefty. Find it yet? There are 23” of pig-tail between the bottom of the seat and the connector - assuming the '22 and '23 seats are the same. Usually it’s all just laying there under the seat. I suspect it’s just down below through that hole. Just have to fish it back up out of there.

    2012 RTS-SE5 engine shut down while riding, looking for possible causes - any ideas?

    Well Hobie, grey, vertical lines, on that era of a Spyder display, is the signature indication of a low electrical system voltage. LIMP mode as well as VSS or ABS faults are also common. Now, whether or not that was the root cause of the initial shutdown, or whether that was just the result of...

    2016 Spyder F3 hard starting when hot.

    Well, you've done the proper troubleshooting, and said it yourself. "It's time for a new battery". It is.

    Ultimate heated passenger backrest - where does it plug in? Anyone have one? How well does it work?

    Hey Steve. Keep in mind that you have a 2015. Please ensure that the videos that you are watching pertain to a 2015. I don't believe that there was a factory heated seat option for the 2015. Instead, what you see being "plugged in" is the pillion seat sensor, not power to the heated seat. Below...

    2022 RT Ltd - fan ran the entire ride home & then would not shut off, even when I shut off the Spyder - anyone else? Any ideas?

    Hey Steve and Belinda. Looks like a relay issue. While the fans may run a short period of time after turning off the key, they certainly don't run long enough for you to go get your tools, disconnect the battery, and come back an hour later, with the key being off. The attached pic is of your...

    Should there be a Warranty transfer cost?

    It’s a 2023. Factory warranty is 24 months. So, you’re talking about the original factory warranty, right? A transfer fee is BS. This is so dishonest. An admin fee for transferring the Title and Registration is one thing, but not just for the warranty. Right out of the manual…. 8. Transfer If...

    2022 Spyder RT-L S2S - which side of the bike is the Front Running Light wiring harness likely to be?

    Based on the view from the parts diagram, I'd start on the left side. There are videos on how to remove that side panel if you need. It's tricky the first time. That harness has a part number in case it has gone missing. ..710006760. $24.49 if in stock.

    Any Help or Tricks for getting the trunk off rear cover on/off? Is it normally this hard??

    Did this document come with it, and did you do the Preparation step about the P2 clips, just below the parts list? Looks easy to miss. https://brp.my.salesforce-sites.com/ISPublicArticleInfo/apex/BWLightningViewerWithTranslate?#id=kA03x000000PUcXCAW&googtrans(en%7Cen_US)
