• 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.

    2021 F3 Ltd has awful Radio reception - where's the antenna plug?

    Awful radio reception is the standard of the provided radio tuner and is about the best one could hope to achieve under ideal operating conditions. The audio system does however shine brighter with Bluetooth streaming audio making it significantly more appealing to me. I choose that method as...

    We get great customer service from the vendors here; dealers, not so much!

    Automotive dealers use a Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) to monitor the interactions between staff and customer at service interactions. All of those surveys they call on you or send a mailer request for your feedback are important to the operations of the dealership and all of the employees...

    Oil - why would you use Rotella T6, a diesel oil, in your Spyder?

    I purchased Rotella T6 5w-40 in a gallon jug at Menards tonight. The price was $22.01 or $5.5025 per quart after rebate. :2thumbs:

    What's the difference between a CVT and an eCVT? Please Explain??

    Vehicles with older designs of engines that are unable to maintain emissions standards during transmission shift points have been resurrected with the usage of CVT transmissions in both cars and crossovers. It would be in best practice for the owner of such a vehicle to off load it before its...

    2023 Ryker 900 - anyone done any long trips?

    You would be wishing you never listened to your wife when it came down to purchasing a Ryker for two-up riding and long distances to boot. It would be like driving from New York to L.A. in the luxury of a golf cart. The Ryker is nice for solo riding around town but that’s about it. Its...

    Sierra Cycles Open House/Grand Opening 8/18

    You have your needs as a buyer but the dealership employees can’t override business practices of the owner who may have other rules and regulations that are necessary for him/her to operate their business. To me it seems rather cavalier to make a public statement on your experience that is...

    What Proof of Extended Warranty did you get?

    I see that everyone who purchased a BEST Warranty not at the time and place of purchase has received a receipt. Thanks would seem reasonable as you purchased a product with a credit card. When I purchased mine at the place and time of purchase at the dealership I never received anything as you...

    Control panel all lit up! Help?

    How they were able to determine all of this now after missing it entirely earlier is a mystery. It’s very hard to justify or explain why each of these items need replacing now all at the same time. I wonder what their answer was as to why and how this happened and how it was originally missed...

    Here's a Website of Locations for Ethanol Free Gas...

    The only station in my area has been closed down because of too many burglaries. The next nearest station is so far away I would have to stop again for a fill up on my way home. :gaah:

    Stabil Blue & Marvel Mistery Oil: Don't laugh!

    I’m not a believer of mechanic in a can products. Today’s gasoline has top grade cleaners in it and across all grades. There is zero need for “fuel stabilizers” or other chemicals to be added to your gasoline tank. Comparing what you did to your 40 year old boat engine and trying to use that to...

    My 2013 RTL just burned up!

    Fuel leakage would create a strong noticeable odor. The problem sounds like electrical malfunction. You can’t rule out the potential of rodent damage creating an electrical short circuit leading to a fire. There are few causes of fire and electrical problems are most commonly causes.

    Hate putting air in rear tire.....Hate it.

    The more I learn about nitrogen tire fills now after a deep dive on the subject this evening the more I think and feel like somebody has been dry humping our legs all along. I would not suggest to anyone to spend any money on someone to provide you this service no matter the source. This is a...

    Hate putting air in rear tire.....Hate it.

    Costco has recently been installing nitrogen tire filling stations in the parking lots free for their members to use. There are two Costco locations in my area but only one has this new service so far. I’ve used it on my car and am waiting for the weather to improve before returning there with...

    Bad starting on my '22 RTL - any ideas?

    You don’t have a fuel quality problem but a fuel control problem that needs dealership technician interaction.

    Anyone here tried a NOCO Li-Ion battery?

    The battery is new to the market so I don’t know of any specific product reviews. Lithium batteries are much lighter than the AGM batteries so there is a definite plus in reduced shipping cost. There have been some reports of others using a lithium battery as a replacement for the AGM battery...

    Need a Jump Start/CPAP Battery - recommendations?

    I don’t know the specs of your CPAP electrical power needs which would help tremendously. There are quite a few portable rechargeable power stations available that can handle CPAP machines that can be recharged with a wall outlet, a 12 Volt automotive system or solar power. Take a look at...

    Shaun Smoak video - 1330 sprocket installs begin!! Yeah, right!

    The channel offers extremely limited mechanical information and I think that him calling it a blog is the correct term. It’s not about Spyders but his life and mindless blabbering on in a folksy manner. The channels goal seems to be nothing but a side hustle for him to buy toys. I can’t help to...

    Question for the RT owners - what's a mint '19 RTL worth?

    What kind of issues are known to you? I’m just trying to think what is different from one that sits and one that is regularly driven versus one that is stored seasonally in the winter months and can’t come up with it. Thanks for your input.

    So called "Weather Balloon" - what are your thoughts??
