• 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.

    Is adding cruise control to a 2015 F3 as simple as changing the switch block?

    Is getting cruise control on a 2015 f3 as simple as changing the rh switch block? If so does anyone know if a 2012 RTS SE5 switch block will work.

    2014 RTL brakes pulling to right

    Update. I have now replaced OEM pads on 5 different Spyders with sintered pads from China. In every case the rotors were dull and if you ran your fingernail across the rotor surface you could feel tiny radial score marks. Also, in every case the rotors now have the shiny surface they should...

    New to me 2009 RS with ABS/VSS/EBD fault - Any ideas??

    Just acquired a 2009 RS with 30K miles for very little money. It's permanently in limp home due to ABS/VSS/EBD fault. Dealer claims ABS unit needs replacing. It has had front and rear brakes separated for over 15k miles with front brake lever and master cylinder on handlebars. This was...

    What's the difference between an SE5 V-twin drive belt and the 1330 SE6 drive belt? Are they a different length?

    2014 RTL brakes pulling to right

    No-name brand pads from China. Before you say I'm crazy, be aware that most OEM bike and auto wear parts are made in China to OEM specs and are good quality. They choose to sell them direct for a variety of reasons. I have been sourcing parts for myself and others through AliExpress in China and...

    2014 RTL brakes pulling to right

    I would agree but BRP don't manufacture pads and apparently, they use more than one manufacturer. I have never seen pads on any vehicle cause scoring like these nor have I seen so much metal in pad material. It was definitely the pads causing the scoring and pulling or new different pads would...

    2014 RTL brakes pulling to right

    If there is any air in a braking system the pedal will "pump up". This wasn't happening. Also air in a system will not cause uneven braking as pressure, even inadequate, will be the same at each wheel pair, or front wheels in the spyders case.

    2014 RTL brakes pulling to right

    Recently purchased a 2014 RT-L with low K's and in brilliant condition. Rode it home on Forrest highway 130km and it sat true and straight all the way. I was thinking I had misjudged the Kendas. (Fitted car tyres to our RT-S SE5 and it was a different bike). First ride 2-up with the guys on our...

    2014 RTL slow clutch engagement when cold

    Perfectly logical-thanks. Of course the engagement is going to be at slightly higher rpm to compensate for cold start cycle higher idle rpm.

    2014 RTL slow clutch engagement when cold

    Just acquired a 2014 RTL with 33K on the clock. Bike is excellent now after sorting brakes badly pulling to the right, fitting decat pipe, Akrapovic muffler, heavy sway bar and Kumho front tyres.Only one niggly thing that may or may not be normal. The clutch is slow to engage when cold - need a...

    C1282 Code Low Pressure Brake Failure - any ideas??

    make sure your park brake is adjusted properly as well. The park brake pushes directly onto the caliper piston. If you hold your foot on the brake while you engage park you will feel the brake pedal move downwards. When the pads are worn the pedal will travel a fair way and it is common that it...

    2010 RT-S SE5 Dyno Tune - is it possible? What setup?

    Does anyone know the procedure to set up the SE5 for dyno tuning. It appears on an SM5 disconnecting all the ABS sensors work but not possible on the SE5 as speed registration is required to change gears.

    2010 RT-S Se5 clutch "seems" to have failed

    Clutch hub. Sits inside the clutch basket. Steel plates engage it and fibre plates engage basket.

    2010 RT SE5 runs rough and then engine stalls when hot

    Pretty sure the problem is heat. On any day but particularly a hot day after a run stick your finger in the fuel tank when its near full. It nearly burns. I find that while moving everything's fine on a hot day but after leaving the bike for 15 minutes or so when I start it and it will stall...

    2010 Spyder pros and cons

    We bought a 2010 RT-S SE5 privately just before christmas at 96,000km. Its an amazing bike and the couple of issues we've had are inconsequential. It had just had a full service including valve clearances and replacing a few bits. The guy who sold it to us bought it new. Only problem he...
