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.

Look at the speedo in this photo?? Its NOT Kil. Its MPH
Tell me what I'm missing?? The speedo works fine with all mile per hour around here.Both dig. & anal..I watch them both when I ride. I play with the mode buttons all the time.So tell me what am I missing here?? Don't tell me it is reading metric. I already know better than that. Takes a bit of time to set it to metric.

OK Thanks for the input.That's what I was ment there. Still really don't get what that has to do with the speedo reading 200mph. If thats the case then the speedo reads around 320KPH correct?? :yikes:

Where does it say mph? It doesn't...that's for the metric...

:agree: It is a digitally driven analog speedo. It switches scale position on the fly, rather than reading the same place, with two sets of numbers on one scale, like most speedos.
Ok I will try it tom. if its not raining. Still don't get it. When my dig. reads 50 mph so does my analog. When my dig. reads 65-70mph so does my analog. So now you have me stumped. I will switch to metric and give er a try

Yes, and if you switch to metric, it will do the same thing. It is not a mechanically driven analog speedo...it is digitally driven. It switches how it moves the needle when you switch from English to metric. As a result, the digital readout and the analog needle always match. The needle is just at a different spot on the scale, at any given speed, depending on the units selected.

Yeah....and my needle speed never matches the digital read-out screen...always off by about 2-3 mph...pretty sloppy, IMHO...

Look at it from a different angle. If you grow another six inches, I'll bet it will be just right. :roflblack: You must have better eyes than I do, the hash marks are too close together for me to se in less than 10 mph increments. :yikes:

Would take MAJOR surgery and would confuse the Spyder computers...
Just not gonna happen easily.

:agree: The Gear Position Sensor is a critical part of the VSS, and also shifting on the SE models. It would have a nervous breakdown. In addition, certain functions would be locked out or limited, if it sensed "reverse".

The mechanical process of dropping in 6th gear and the shift fork replacement and cog is straightforward once you split the cases, but as Scotty says, the electronics would be frazzled.

The guage cluster is used in several BRP products including their snowmobiles and is adaptable to their ATV line in the future. It is a plug and play module and needs to meet american and canadian AND european specifications. The guage pac is controlled by the ecu. The 200 "mark" on the speedo is there for the KPH brothers. If you run in KPH and hit 200 kph (~124 mph) you will have reached the limit of the speedo. If the speedo had been developed with a , lets say 150 mark then our KPH brothers would pin it at ~93 mph.
Hope that helps.

The 1125 Buell is not in the same family , (ie: cam chain is on different side of the motor etc etc.) It is not just a bored and stroked 990 . It was developed exclusively by Rotax for Buell and was not based on an existing motor.

Seems those wanting more power are somewhat limited.... and the Aerocharger turbo may be one of the easiest ways to go... just wish they weren't so darn expensive...not to mention they have not shipped any as of yet.

If thats so then why do they say this
"The BUELL engine is a similar engine type. V-structure still, but with a different displacement. The 1125 packs a lot of V-990 genes in its design.
In the end, the team at Rotax has pulled together a state of the art and unique engine designed precisely for your Spyder. Enjoy riding!
