• 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.

The Nanny

How smart is Nanny?

I drove my wife's SE5 home from the dealer Friday (solo) after installation of a Hindle exhaust, rear luggage and a passenger backrest. Throttle response was significantly different from what I remembered the last time I drove it.

Even with the handlebars straight, it seemed like the engine hit hard initially, then eased off to about 90 percent. Thus, keeping me from efficiently spinning the rear tire... nojoke

I have searched the owners manual and found nothing other than exhortations to be "careful with passengers..."

Does the Spyder "know" the backrest is installed and adjust available power accordingly?

Thanks!

The Spyder will know if you have a passenger on-- but no--- just having the backrest won't make any difference. There is a pressure sensitive switch in the rear seat.

:agree: and for what it's worth, I can smoke the rear tire on my SE5 all day long.
