• 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.

    Northern Alabama: Just hot. Current temp 97°. No rain in the forecast future. Thank goodness I got my ryde in while the temps were still in the '70's!

    Does anybody know who sells/makes Passenger Floorboard Risers??

    On my 2023 RTL, I was able to adjust the foot rest up several inches for the Mrs (same reason as yours). It appears the foot rest has several height adjustments that you can choose from, only requiring the removal of one bolt. Take a peek at the footrest and you can see the multiple threaded...

    Anyone used this Lift for Spyder Storage? Any feedback on it?

    Are the walls of your garage tall enough to accomplish this, that is to also park a truck under the Spyder while the lift is in the "up" position? And do you have the room to place the Spyder in this position for storing it (ie. placing the Spyder parallel to the wall) especially since the...

    Spyder just quit running while riding... Is this an isolated incident?

    In days of "old" when something like this happened it was often the ignition coil going out. Often after a few minutes of cooling the engine could be restarted and continue to run until the coil reheated to much, repeating the cutting off of the engine. It has been over 20 years since I have...

    RIP Dolly Parton

    My local paper had an article regarding the books she sent out monthly. In the past 30 years, 300 MILLION books were sent to youngsters! That works out to approximately 200,000 books per week. All free, regardless of income. She also left us one more song. It won't be released for a while...

    Getting a Buzz in 1st gear, goes away when Parking brake on - any suggestions?

    To check it is the air pump, disconnect the electric to it and see if the noise goes away. Should the noise remain you can rule out the air pump causing the problem. Maybe easier to pull the fuse that controls the air pump. I don't have a clue what fuse that might be.

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on 2020+ Spyder - can it be fixed?

    I used to be this type of person, running till fumes were almost used up. That changed back in 1993 when I was on vacation 1200 miles away from home when the electric fuel pump gave up on my pickup truck due to my low volume of gas keeping the pump cool. I purchased the truck new so it was...

    Comparing how we ride our Spyders - what does your trip meter say??

    Trip A is reset at each fill up - it is my fuel gauge. I ryde most days for 75 to 100 miles. Trip B I use for Oil change reminder.

    Does a Lithium Battery work in a 2008 GS? What Lithium Battery did you use?

    I have a lithium battery in my 2023 Spyder and love it. It turns the engine over without any hesitation at all. The factory battery gave up after about 6 months. The lithium has been in Spyder for 26 months now without any problems. I picked mine up at Lamonster Garage: 12V 600A Lithium...

    Buying a Demo 2026 Sea to Sky

    It should be fine. My first Spyder was an F3. What fun. It was about 6 months old with 500 miles on it. This was from a private seller. What I DID NOT KNOW was how to properly check the oil level in the engine. Here is a copy/paste of what I wrote some time back: "I am on my second Spyder...

    Having a blast, but have you noticed these Spyders Take an Effort To Ride?!

    Suggestion. Check out Coach Bob 3 over on youtube. He has posts videos regarding spyder ryding and are helpful. Here is the first one I just pulled up.

    How long does the Factory Belt Tensioner last by miles?

    My 2023 RTL factory belt tensioner started making noise around 14k miles so I removed it. The bearing was totally shot. For me I have not noticed any difference with or without it, but I know I don't want the tensioner to destroy the belt while out on a ryde, hence I removed it.

    Pleased with my Smooth Spyder Belt Tensioner for my RS

    I removed the vibration dampener around 20k miles ago and don't miss it. For me, I don't notice any difference in vibration either, and I don't want to be anywhere, other than in my driveway, with a belt that gets destroyed along with leaving me stranded. Just trying to keep it simple.
