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.

4 stroke means the piston does four strokes to complete the power cycle (intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust), all Spyders have four stroke engines.

THIS VALVOLINE OIL
I really like it ......I've read tests that show it has the 2nd LEAST amount of Molybdenum in the oil ( Amsoil has the least ). Moly is BAD for WET clutches ( and we have those )....... Also this Valvoline is Jaso Ma-2 rated and few oils have a rating this high .................... BRP's oil doesn't ( to the best of my knowledge )...................Mike :thumbup:

Hi Mike,
Re: this Valvoline is Jaso Ma-2 rated
Just to have a 'look-see' I went to Amazon and found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Valvoline-VV740-6PK-10W-40-4-Stroke-Motorcycle/dp/B00DJ4FGMQ
I could not find any info on it being Jaso Ma-2 rated. Do you know if this item is rated as you mentioned?
It is listed as VV-740 as a Valvoline part number.

I switched to this oil last year. Also, I am going to use the same oil for all of my spyder oil changes. It has Superior Wet Clutch protection.
It's formulated for the specific needs of motorcycles, including high temperature , high RPM'S and wet clutch systems.
Synthetic formula maximizes power and acceleration, Outstanding wet clutch protection for maximum power transfer and smooth shifting.
Excellent wear & corrosion protection to help keep engine performing its best.
Added protection against harmful deposits that can decrease engine performance.
Exceeds API SERVICES: SJ/SG/SF, JASO MA2

THIS VALVOLINE OIL
Nope Jerry , that is their DINO OIL , the Full Synthetic is in a SILVER container and says 4 T -stroke ...most stores don't carry it..... you have to order it on-line ( in a SIX PACK ) and have it shipped free to your local store or if you buy enough they will ship to your house for free .....read the fine print for that .......
