• 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.

    LH LED Headlight turned 45° in socket after install - any fixes?

    I had the same problem with the Lamonster LEDs. I spent some time fiddling with the rotation and found that they worked best with a slight rotation inward - maybe 10 or 15 degrees from vertical. I'll try to take a picture later.

    2012 RT SE5 Tranny won't disengage at idle - anyone else? Ideas on cause?

    Sounds exactly like the problem I had last year with my F3. Turned out to be a loose clutch hub nut. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?150902-1330-SE6-Clutch-engagement-at-idle-problem

    When To Replace Belt tensioner/Vibration Damper/Idler Pulley?

    My OEM roller failed at around 10,000 miles, scored the drive belt. I replaced it with the Lamonster roller which is still going strong with 36,000 miles on the bike now. Maybe I'll order a replacement now just in case...

    Issues with Kenda Tires or Not?

    I voted that I didn't have any problems with the original Kendas. I got 10,000 miles or so out of the original rear tire and when I replaced it I replaced the front tires at the same time. Put on Vredestein Quatracs all around. What I noticed with the new tires was better performance - better...

    To do….or not to do? Should I replace these BEFORE they fail?

    Wait until it fails. Have the bike towed to dealer then trade it in for a new one.

    Pedal Commander video on Banks power

    Yeah I think it's been pretty clearly documented that the Pedal Commander or Pedal Box only increases throttle response, not any true horsepower improvement at all. That being said the increased throttle response is a great pleasure to have. It makes the Spyder more fun to drive.

    2023 Spyder F3s - Any value in Pairing Helmet and iPhone to Bike?

    At best you can get volume control and maybe skip/pause music tracks when paired to the bike. But I can do that easily directly on my Sena headset or even through my Garmin Zumo if I want. So I no longer pair with the bike.

    A visit from a member here from Conn. tomorrow

    If the food was bad, I would be polite and say "oh it was great, but I'm so full, no room for seconds". Mike's dinner was in fact very good and yes I had seconds!
