• 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.

Battery wires?

Am replacing my original battery and I have three wires. Two are black and the other is two lager red wires. I assume the red goes to the positive terminal and the others I don't know where they go. Any help?

Want to make sure I don't blow any circuits on the Spyder. Help,please. Thanks:banghead::banghead:
 
Red is + or Positive. Black is - or Negative. The wires should fall naturally to the proper posts. On my 2012 the positive + post is toward the front of the bike. Please be careful. If some one had a picture that would be helpful.

:hun: three wires ..... two are black ...... two are larger red ........ that equals four wires, you confused me. (But that's not hard to do)

Plus minus..!!

as stated above red goes to + positive and black-goes to negative but to be safe always connect the red wires to + first. The the black ones. This will avoid shorting out systems or blowing fuses...:lecturef_smilie:
 
Battery wires

My mistake. Two red wires are going to one terminal. On the plus terminal goes a red rubber boot. This boot has two holes for wires. This leads me to believe that there should be two wires going to the positive terminal. Sorry for confusion.:bowdown::bowdown:
