• 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.

    My MPG skyrocketed in ECO Mode - is ECO Mode really that much better?

    On both my 2018 RT's, I average 34-36 mpg, with most rides 150 to 180 miles. My two up mileage is similar to solo riding, as I ride more conservatively. My Arizona riding buddy gets a couple of mpg better all the time. He runs with his windshield lower, does not go vroom vroom on the on ramps...

    The Spyder is certainly not a Honda - but the reliability sure would be nice! Still not switching tho!!

    How can I remove the passenger seat when the key will not work?

    If you can get your fingers onto the outer part of the cable, pull down or out to the side on it. That should pull in the release cable also.

    Any apps/converters to allow Android phone map use on 2024 S2S with ACP?

    Many cars and pickups have Android Auto. My 2021 F-150 does in wireless most of the time. Sometimes I have to plug it into the trucks usb port or restart the truck. AI Overview When car manufacturers want to offer Android Auto in their vehicles, they don't necessarily have to pay Google a...

    Friend looking into Spyders, either a 2016 RT or a 2019 RTL with pretty close mileage & price - any advice/comments/concerns?

    The 2019 have the fulll digital dash that I like a lot better than the pre 2018 RT's. Also if it is a chrome model, the 2019 chrome wheels are the best looking wheel ever put on a Spyder. If the price is close, it is a no brainer to get the newer one.

    Did an upgrade Sway Bar improve your handling? Which one? And what about Shocks?

    Front tires that are not Kenda's helps a lot. Vredestein Quatrac seems to be the best, however some have had issues putting them on 2020+ models. I have Quatrac on both of my 2018's and would not put anything else on them.

    Deer collision - safer on a Spyder? Thoughts? Or first-hand accounts?

    I hit a adult German Shepherd Center/right front wheel. Had just got up to 60 and dog came out of the brush right in front of me. It was a slow motion movie, oh no move faster - I am going to hit him. $5525 bucks for tupperware (had to be painted as champagne panels were not available) and right...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Traffic in Vancouver makes it a "one and done" ride. Border crossing into Canada was quick, return to US about 20-25 minutes.

    2017 RT rear trunk removal to fit extn USB cable - any instructions/hints?

    I ran an USB cable from the trunk to the steering column for smart phone. GPS gets power from the provided GPS cable behind the fuel tank of the right side and this also powers a dual usb/volt meter in the switch location behind the column and the dash cam is plugged in there.
