• 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.

    Fixed Yes, problem solved. It started on the first crank and machine runs great. When and if you need to rebuilt your engine. You might consider marking your piston before removing it. It was suppose to be marked from factory but there was no marking on mine.

    I spent a total of about $1000 CAD. $500 for parts and about $500 for tools including a shop crane and 2 good quality torque wrenchs. The estimate quotes over the phone was $6000 and $9000 to do the job from 2 different shops. An used engine on eBay runs about $2000 US or more before shipping...

    I don't think it is heat related issues. Spyder's engine always runs hot anyway. I had a Yamaha ATV that does the same thing a few years back. I would checked the starter relay/ solenoid switch. Good Luck.

    Thanks.. I am sure that's exactly what it was. Once I manually shifted those gears a few time up and down. It shifted easier and this morning it shifted good during my test ride.

    Thanks. It didn't really give me a code. Instead of showing R (reverse), it show as E but my bike reversed fine. I guess I will have to get the code error code to display.

    TDC marking for rear cylinder. TDC marking for the rear cylinder. This is the cylinder that must be assembled first. Notice the small dots on the bottom timing gear. It must match the line in the crank case in order for the rest of the gears and marking to line up and the gears to turn in sync.
