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.

2012 RT-S I get some gas odors when I come home from riding - no puddles, just the smell of gas like I just filled the tank
how do you remove the plastic cover over the gas thing? do I need to remove the right side panel or is there a way to just remove that plastic cover under the seat?

The gas fumes you are smelling (now/or could - at some point in time) when stopped at a stop sign, traffic light, or perhaps when you park at the coffee shop may not be iminating from the spyders evaporative canister system.
Read post #1 & #18.
For well over a year I have noticed a fuel smell in all of these conditions. All this time I have wrongly thought the gas smell was coming from the evap canister system because the only fuel drips that were ever evident, were coming from the canister vent hose.
If ever you smell fuel. DO NOT make the same mistake I did - and assume - it's coming from the canister system. You could have a leak that has not shown itself. I did....and did not know it until it got bad enough to be observed by hiting the ground.

Mine is loose but I can't figure how to take it off. I picked up a different type (as suggested by someone in this thread). Can you help with getting the old one off (not the Oetiker clamp)?
