• 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.

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I have owned a 2020 F3 limited and now a 2023 RT limited. Have the mrs. get on both bikes. My wife finds the RT much more comfortable to ride on than the F3. It will take you some time to get accustomed to driving the spyder, but once you get the hang of it you will love it. The machine has...

    How should a novice check brake pad thickness?

    A good tool to purchase would be a caliper measuring tool. A digital caliper can measure both in english and the metric system. They can be purchased at Amazon or Harbor freight at reasonable prices. Calipers are able to measure I.D's, O.D's and depth with the most common ones measureing up...

    Urk... Frunk won't unlatch... Is this a common problem?

    I have not had any problems opening my frunk and I have had my 2023 RTl just over one year. I watched Martin's video and it should also work on an RT model, so give it a try...

    Rear axle doesn't/can't have a cotter pin - anyone else?

    My 2023 RT limited does not have a cotter pin in it. The 2020 F3 did have a cotter key, so I was surprised when I changed the rear tire last month that the RT did not have one. The 2023 does not have a place for a cotter key either. Just as a side note when you are checking adjustment on your...

    How do I get that Map in the Signature Block???

    Try this airmen 2090, after you created your map I saw on the lower right an "add to signature" or something to that affect and clicked it. If my signature line shows the map on this post it should work for you too. I must have missed it before also. Don't forget to click on add to signature...

    2016 Spyder RT-S has a misfire and dumping gas. No codes, uses gas very quickly.

    On a totally different engine I once had a similar problem with gas milage going crazy like yours. Code reader showed an upstream 02 sensor was going bad. This engine was a 4.2l GM engine in a trailblazer and normal fuel consumption was 15-18 mpg. When the 02 sensor went out it dropped to 1-2...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Mine arrived this week and I was hoping the speedo was a little more accurate. The past 33 years the speedos on all my vehicles have been spot on and it was a disappointment when the Spyders have not been accurate. 2023 RTl spyder former ryde 2020 F3l

    How can I remove image left behind by sticker on the black rear fender?

    I have used 303 spray on my truck tires for over 20 years. It absolutely stops ALL weather cracking on tires. And this was in the Florida sun. Just plain good stuff. 2023 RT limited

    Open trunk banner would not go out - anyone else?

    I had this banner pop up once on a 2020 F3 limited I had. It wasn't the rear case (even though the banner said so), but one of the side cases wasn't fully latched. Double check your side bags just in case. 2023 RT limited, red

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    Have you tried cranking it with some starter fluid? Should the problem be fuel related it should try and run on the starter fluid, even just for a couple of seconds, the starter fluid should ignite. If it doesn't attempt to run pull a spark plug out, grounding out the electrode and turning the...
