• 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.

    Bright Headlights Daytime Yes or No

    Nope, high beams only when needed at night or when I flash them at someone to get their attention or to let a semi know it is ok to come into my lane. I keep them in reserve to use them when needed. Daytime high beams made some sense way back when motorcycles had a single incandescent...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    I hadn't connected my phone to the Spyder or the Spyder to my helmet yet so I had to work through getting those connected. Spyder didn't want to connect to Sena with any other pairings present so I deleted them all and rebooted the Sena. When it came back up, it immediately went looking for a...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Figured out that an $8 Harbor Freight 12 inch Voyager tool bag is perfect for holding stuff in half of the trunk while still reserving room for my helmet. Stiff enough that it holds its shape. Easy to remove if I want to. https://www.harborfreight.com/12-in-tool-bag-with-21-pockets-61467.html

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    Again, thank you for all the help to resolve my self inflicted issue. None of the dealers in town have the fuse. Closest one is allegedly in TX or GA. Ordered one from my dealer and they say backordered until late July. Did some research and decided to head to Autozone to get an alternate 80A...

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    And here's the continuation. Dealer gave me a new PowerSonic AGM battery to replace the Haiju. Confirmed what I thought, that even 12.4 was not charging, just showing battery power. Suggested I check the connections on the big fuse that is just to the right of the battery (looking from the...

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    The saga continues. I got several miles down the interstate and the bike died on me. I think the charger lied about being 100%. Called Roadside Assistance. Hauled me to the dealer. Installed the old Haijiu battery. Started fine. Codes, other than the U0155 cleared. Tech came out and checked and...

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    Ran out and bought a Noco Genuis 5 charger so that: A. I didn't run into any possible problems from using my Battery Tender on a Lithium battery; and B. it would charge quickly. Which it did. I'm up to 100%. Bike is starting. No error messages on the main screen. Only the U0155 remains in...

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    Just want to be sure everybody read BajaRon's comment. I know. It should be common sense. Don't try to think your way around it like I did. Yes, it is true the Noco comes charged. And yes, it did start my Spyder multiple times. But it doesn't have enough of a charge to make the Spyder happy...

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    Yes, I did. Doing a test fit to figure out what spacers I needed, there was a momentary connection which caused the horn to honk alerting me that something was wrong.

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    Appears I've just been stupid and thought a battery that starts a vehicle (as my new one did) would be enough and once I got on the road it would fully charge it. Apparently Spyders don't work that way since it won't let you go with a low charge in the first place. So now I'm already an hour...

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    I did not since things I read indicate that the NOCO comes fully charged. I did get to the fault codes and see: P0562 12V Battery - Low Voltage (which doesn't seen ti match with the initial overload message shown above) U0155 - Loss of Communication with Cluster (which I recognize as the...

    12 Volt Battery - System Overload message... Any ideas on how to fix/clear this?

    Hoping for some quick help so I can get on the road for a long trip. With all the posts about problem batteries with the 2024 RTs, I decided to put in a NOCO NLP20. Did that Wednesday evening. Spyder started fine after doing so. All packed up and ready to go, as I'm backing out of the garage...

    A small Safety Mod to our 2022 RTL with a big improvement!

    Another fan of the shifter pad here. I can't say it made a dramatic difference for me since I wasn't experiencing any problems without it, but it is better with it installed making for an easier reach which should prevent any problems. Really appreciate people who come up with things like this...

    What Max Temp Reading have you seen for ambient air on your Spyder?

    Thank you Peter for combining the threads. Sorry I didn't find the other one first. And thanks to those who know what that gauge is for. I really appreciate the education. Though for goodness sake, why doesn't BRP explain that? Or even better, why don't they use a bar meter like they do for...

    I got another New Helmet!

    HJC makes some good helmets. I worked my way through three of them before moving up to a Shoei Neotec. Haven't had problems with my glasses on any of them (though every now and then I do catch one corner of my glasses when putting the Shoei on). Thank you for getting a white helmet. I always...

    What Max Temp Reading have you seen for ambient air on your Spyder?

    2024 RTL - ambient air temp showing on the dash appears to be several degrees high once the sun comes out (and yes, we do get sunshine in the PNW, but don't tell anybody). Any ideas where the sensor is and whether anything can be done so it correctly reports the air temp? Obviously not a...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    After picking up my 2024 Spyder RTL on May 8, I've been doing things bit by bit. - Started with a 5 foot wire to power my Warm 'n Safe heated liner. Ran it to just above the gas cap. Could probably use it as it, but I attach an extension when using it to give me plenty of length to move around...

    HowTo: 2024 Spyder RTL Battery Tender Install

    "Be careful not to drop the screw inside the battery compartment. Recovering the screw could be a challenge and prolong the install process." You tried to warn me. And I listened. I was careful, just not careful enough. Never did find the screw so off to the dealer for a replacement. That was...

    Looking for a good Portland, Oregon dealer - any recommendations?

    Rocky, as mentioned on a Facebook group, I've been dealing with SK Northwest, Jayson to be specific, on the sales end. I've been pleased and recommend them. I'm expecting to pick up my 2024 Spyder RTL this week so I can't yet say much about the service side. I'm told they do have a tech who is...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    Maplehawk, thank you for taking one for the team. Here's to dreaming the timing works in our favor and BRP will suddenly release the fix AND that it will actually work and fix everything. It's a nice dream. Like some others I did buy a GPS. Though I went the budget route with a 396LMT which...
