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.
What did you do to your Spyder today?

Picked up gas to top off the tank for the winter storage and received a K&N air filter to put in. This will complete my maintance work which was new spark plugs, oil and filter change, transmission filter replaced, gas filter changed, and sea foam added to the gas tank, battery tender hooked up.

Wished I was riding instead of driving, then found out I have Dr.'s appointment in the morning so I will be riding at least one more day. No new snow here or for several more days so I may get some more riding in.

Last week, Not today, I spent some quality time working on the Spyder. I had a stash of parts that had accumulated but not been installed.
The mods from last week were.
1) Replaced the oem spark plugs with Nippon Denso plugs
2) Converted the Spyder and RT622 trailer from 4 pin square to 4 pin flat.
3) Replaced the oem cast aluminum windscreen arm with the NoBoot billet aluminum windscreen arm.
4) Installed 1/4 turn fasteners to the left and right bodypanels to prevent them from inadvertently jettisoning while moving.
5) Removed more of the soundproofing foam and adhesive that had turned to goo with age. At this time I have not replaced the soundproofing, but will, utilizing the same high performance material we use in aircraft, and I already replaced on the Spyders acoustic panels.
6) Flushed the brake system, bled and serviced with new Pentisone fluid.
7) Replaced the fuel filter, utilizing fuel injection specific hose clamps.

We try to get between 50 to 100 miles in most every day, now that we are in the South. Yesterday, it was 60's and sunny. Today, high 50's and some clouds. Perhaps a ride this PM.
I am not planning on a winter lay up. Time will tell. :yes: The bikes were serviced a couple thousand miles ago...so we are still good there.

I said “Gooooooood morning Bella!” this morning as I walked by her and I pulled out of the garage in my truck. She smiled and went back to bed. Her dumb brothers smiled too, like a bird dog when they see you dressed in orange. IT’S SNOWING TODAY! Yep all three sleds Look like dumb dogs sitting behind her. Suppose to be in the 40’s and sunny Saturday. She’ll get a little Jolt and ride then.

Snows gone today and its partly sunny at 32 degrees and dry roads so...”I rode her to work.” The 3 sleds did not look happy when I closed the garage door! Just warming up for sledding season. 4-6” snow tomorrow - Friday but Saturday are looking good, we're supposed to get into the 40’s and sunny again! 18 miles to work and 18-30 miles home depending on the detour.

I finally decided that the weather had turned against me. I used to ride my GW down to 32-24 degree's , but that was when I was young and had something to prove. I'm 72 and only do things if they are fun. So today, I cleared up the mess in my basement fully heated the engine ( 4 bars ) and brought Her down ( 5ft below ground level ) to the Spydercave. I put Her up on ramps and jacked up the rear 12 in. took off the drain plugs and removed the oil filter...…. 6hrs later it is still dripping oil, ( might as well get it ALL out )… Aftyer removing the right side mirror ( I have magnets so very easy ) I removed the upper side panel. Last year I drilled a large hole in the inside panel, so I could extract the oil filter without having to remove that panel. I haven't noticed any more heat on that side so I won't be covering the hole, ( it could be done with Duct Tape ) ….. I'll post a pic of where to cut the hole if you want to see where it's done …… Mike hyea:
