• 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.

    Lifting the rear of RT swing arms with a modified HF MC lift - Wanted to share and get feedback.

    He's been talking about better way to air up rear tire. This will do it. All the talk and searching, it was stored away in his garage the whole time!!

    Any ideas on what this 2022 S2S thumping on the drive side might be, or what & where to troubleshoot?

    The belts have Kevlar inside. You could buy another one for safe keeping storage, have it ready to install if and when integety starts to fade on current belt. I would say if you do installation yourself do that. If you take to dealership, they might not let you bring a belt

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    All the times posting, not showing up. You see it when you put info in, but I think somewhere you have to check a box to activate it.

    Fan noise = rear air ride pump?? Has to be in 1st gear to activate. Squeal = belt riding against rear pulley real hard. Need 1 or 2mm gap

    Replacing 2018 RTL foglights - what holds the upper tupperware panel to the lower panel assembly?

    You can take off the surroundings plastic and take out bolts that hold light housing in place, then pull straight out to get to back side. That's what I did on my 2015 RTL for LED upgrade

    Laser Alignment Issues with all A/mkt Wheels - they won't accept alignment tools? Anyone heard this before??

    You're in SLC, "Squared Away" is close by, and on this forum. Joe is his name. Uses proprietary laser, Rolo system. He would be best to know PPA wheels and any work a rounds, IF true they're needed as told by your mechanic. Absolutely the one to talk too.

    Are the OEM XPS front tires really directional, on '25 S2S?

    XPS tires, not the original Kenda tires. Just Google the tire and go with that info, if the manual is not clear

    Does my Spyder have a bell? Is it to warn of changing gears?

    When the GPS school zone chime happened to me I was riding in Colorado, surprised me. What is this sound? What is the Spyder trying to tell me? Right then couldn't figure it out for a while, until it happened again

    Anyone else notice the number of low mileage used Spyders on Marketplace? Any ideas why?

    The Spyder tends to be sold to mid aged to older aged riders. They come from 2 wheels when they start to be unstable to hold up the weight anymore. So those age groups then are more inclined to have minor health problems that need to be taken care of from time to time. And also, these age groups...

    How to unplug this Yaw Rate Sensor connector?

    That gray tab springing towards inside has to be pushed out to release lock tab. So use your finger or a screwdriver to push it out, then push the connector back. It doesn't seem like there is one on the other side. There's a gray piece on the top side too, that might have to slide. Maybe look...

    Mysterious drive belt adjustment change

    Yah, that's about laying everything on the floor prone to get the reading on top side best as possible in middle of belt. Practice makes perfect. Hey, do it again if it's bumped. Hey, do it again for attempting to achieve same reading

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

    Yep it's your automatic self leveling air pump. When in 1st gear will activate, probably park brake will stop it. It's doing its job, go ride!!

    Mysterious drive belt adjustment change

    190 kricket lifted is on upper end. I have 2015 RTL and set 165 wheel on ground. That helps keep tension against the rear axle adjusters. Has less vibes, and I don't even use a dampener. Been at that setting for 40,000 miles

    My F3S tire is showing wear after only 2000 miles.

    The Kenda rear tire has weak plys. No matter the pressure, it will balloon center and wear much faster. Next time run a car tire, much better construction to keep ballooning to minimum. Much talk on forum, just search...
