• 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.

    08 GS Manual won't go into Reverse - any ideas?

    Thanks Freddy, clutch was my first thought, but there's no lunge, and I can come to a full stop with the clutch in with no sign of it straining against the clutch. It doesn't seem to stick at all. Good idea about the lever at the bottom, I will check. With the Mode, I will have to wait and see...

    08 GS Manual won't go into Reverse - any ideas?

    08 GS manual Spyder, if it's not one thing it's another. Since fixing the ISCI Brake Conversion, all of a sudden it doesn't want to go into Reverse! After a few attempts, when it finally goes into Reverse, then it won't change into 1st. If I turn the motor off, it easily goes into First. I don't...

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    OK folks, I have got it sorted out. It was a matter of adjusting the foot brake pedal restricting its travel; it was going down far enough to activate the 2nd switch, causing the brake failure warning to come on. Also, doing that sorted out the handle bar brake conversion as well. Thanks.

    I just ordered BUDS w/ Megatech license.

    I don't know how he did it, and knowing him, he wouldn't have cared about warning lights or just turning everything off the cheapest way possible. The same bloke came to our local 1/8 mile dirt drags with it; he made up a set of metal paddles to go on the rear wheel and they lasted 1 run...

    I just ordered BUDS w/ Megatech license.

    That's interesting what you were saying about turning off the stability and traction control. A few months back, I bought an 08 GS off a mate for spare parts; somehow, he turned almost everything off, so with the key turned on the dash lit up like a xmas tree; BUT the amount of power he...

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    Thanks Ann, tried looking up kawakii, but wow, she's got a lot of posts, so couldn't find the ones on the brake but spent hrs going over the rest of the forum on hand brakes. I found 1 member who had used spacers, but that was all. I don't think members realise how bad my problem is, I have only...

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    But the prob is that it's fixing a problem that shouldn't exist, especially after paying out such a large sum of money. First, I have to find out why - talking with a mate who builds race car motors for a living, he suggests the prob might be in the hole placement on the Can Am; the holes...

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    On the newer models, yes. On my 08 GS version, no! But I might look into seeing if ISCI can supply one that will fit when I get in touch.

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    Thanks Peter, as you said, interesting reading - one bloke has put spacers in where my shop said we could if need be. I guess I will be phoning the States if I don't hear from them soon. It's definitely something simple in the fitting or something wrong with a part. I will have another talk with...

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    This is getting frustrating, I can't be the only one who's had this problem and still no reply from the seller! It looks like a phone call may be coming up. My shop who did the fitting probably won't want to get involved, as I'm the one who supplied the kit and he's normally flat out working...

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    Hmmm... Thanks, I will have a look in the morning. Offhand, I don't remember that adjuster on the lever, but I could be wrong.

    New ISCI hand brake on GS Spyder not working properly. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, the foot pedal moves when pull the lever in, and I've tried pumping it up with no difference. I read before buying that I'll really need to use them both together for emergency stops, for the reasons you stated, but this won't do more than slow badly without the foot...
