• 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.

    Does any Spyder have Autonomous Braking?

    My 2023 RT limited does not have autonomous braking. Nothing is mentioned in the owners manual either. Only braking occurs is when I mash the brake pedal. 2023 red RT limited

    Rattling sound when backing off the throttle on my Ryker & more - any advice?

    That's how the Swedes, in Swedish, spell Sweden. :thumbup:

    Who else got the Show Chrome Trunk Shock "fix"?

    I got mine yesterday. The original one they sent me would not fit. With some assistance with a hacksaw and file I got it to work well. I was frustrated that I needed to modify a new part, but never called or complained to them about it. I since sold my F3 limited, so I will give it no other...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I installed "Blinking Controller Flasher Module for LED Brake Tail Stop Light" on my 2023 RT limited and then went on a 75 mile ride through north Alabama and south Tenn.

    How do you secure your Helmets when leaving your bike?

    My full face Shoei won't fit in the frunk. :gaah: It easily fits in the trunk. I figure out of sight is much less likely for it to come up missing. Folks like to have a close look at the spyder and I just prefer for all my pieces of it to remain intact. I live in a safe area yet still am in...

    The frequent lament of "they said my Spyder was not a real motorcycle!"

    In the 2 1/2 years I have owned a Spyder no one has mentioned or hinted it isn't a motorcycle. But if they did I would recall this quote I heard years ago. "What someone else thinks is None of my business." I get way to many smiles per mile to even care what someone else wants to describe my...

    What add-on parts are best and necessary on 2023 RT Ltd?

    I purchased a 2023 RTl in August and had been driving a 2020 F3 limited the prior two years. If you have a "fair" amount of bugs in your area I would suggest something that protects the radiators from bugs. I installed "The Original "Keep Out the Trash" Radiator Stainless Steel Grilles (RT...

    What are the Side bag capacities please?

    Not large enough to place a helmet in. Neither the 2020 F3 limited or 2023 RT limited.

    Any hints on checking rear tire Air Pressure-F3L

    Last month I finally ordered FOBO for my 2020 F3 limited. Like you it was a pain to get the rear tire to the correct orientation to get my gauge down there to read. With the FOBO I can turn on my phone as I am walking out to the garage and see my tire pressure before I even place the key in...

    Fitted a new Kumho Ecsta AST to the rear, what pressure is recommended?

    I'm on my second Kumho Ecsta AST. The first one I ran at 18 psi and got about 14k miles out of it. A month or so ago I put my second on one and am running it at 14.5 p.s.i. and am hoping to get better milage out of it. Just watch how the tread wears and adjust your pressure as needed. At 18...

    Doing my first oil change and I have some questions for the more experienced guys...

    I use a similar drain plug on my truck. I would NOT use this style (or the one I have on my truck which uses a ball valve) on my 1330 engine. These rotax engines leave metal shavings that you will clean off of the drain plug. You probably will be shocked how much shavings will be on the drain...

    Why is Belt alignment so hard to get right?!

    One more suggestion: Do not back into your parking space before looking at your belt alignment. Mine shifts significantly while backing up. I can either back into my garage or drive straight in, so I make sure to drive in forward before looking at it. And as suggested above adjust only one...

    There and back again I guess.

    Thanks for the photos and the names of the places. Google earth is my friend when someone mentions a town or place for me to take a peek at. New Zealand looks stunning, thanks for sharing it with us.

    Your thoughts on When to change spark plugs?

    I've got the 1330 engine in my 2020 F3 limited. The book shows to change out around 29k miles. Now these are irridium plugs and I have got personally 95k miles out of several different automotive engines and they looked like new. I like to follow the book on all upkeep for vehicles I own, but...
