• 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.

Any ideas about why my Spyder has No Crank - What gives?

There should be an accessory power source on most Spyders that is keyed to the ignition. On some it is down the right hand side under the Tupperware, on the later models like mine I'm not so sure which side it's on.

I'm not sure about the 2011 but I'm pretty sure there's a provision for a 12 volt supply somewhere. Search on YouTube and I'm sure there's a video for your era of Spyder. The wiring harnesses for that connection are available from our sponsoring businesses.

Then you'll perhaps need a box that takes 12 volts in from the wiring harness you bought, above, and that puts out a USB power connection with 5 volts. They are on Amazon for like $10. Then run a USB cable up to your USB outlet(s) where you need it. If you want more than one device you might need a USB splitter for dual powered USB sockets. This of course won't give you a USB connection to the Spyder, just power.

Other folks may have a more elegant solution, or USB power kits to mount on the bars with full fitting instructions.
