• 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.

    Do all SPYDERS squeal when you give them gas?

    I drove for 600 miles before getting it completely resolved. I was in denial for a 300 hundred miles because it always did it and I figured it was the nature of a belt driven system, but then I realized that belts are suppose to be quieter than chains; at least in imported cars they are. If the...

    What type of oil do you use?

    I'll reread the white paper because somewhere in there they mention why certain oils possessing certain qualites would be bad for starts, but I can't remember off hand as I only read cover to cover once and it was bit much to digest on a single read. When I need some bathroom reading time I...

    Do all SPYDERS squeal when you give them gas?

    :clap:Wow 120K!! :congrats: I defer to your veteran experience on this one. I'm not sure what they did when they took my back wheel off, the GM told me belt adjustment, but the person telling me wasn't the person doing the work. The one who fixed it just came back from the test drive and...

    Do all SPYDERS squeal when you give them gas?

    Spyder Throttle Cry :yes:Wow, I was right about something. I'm taking this moment in! I hope you can be more forceful about getting it resolved than I was. I wussed out about pushing the issue 3 times before I got down on my knees and started begging them to PLEASE... make it stop! Please...

    Do all SPYDERS squeal when you give them gas?

    This is what I thought all along :agree: I tried to get the issue resolved at the 600mile service, but they were busy and other than spraying something somewhere don't think they took the time to nip it in the bud.

    Do all SPYDERS squeal when you give them gas?

    :chat: I thought the sound was coming from the front too, but when I listened without my helmet on and off the spyder I was able to hear it distinctly from the rear when I let my friend take out for a spin in the parking lot & everyone outside heard it from the rear when the tech was testing...

    Do all SPYDERS squeal when you give them gas?

    Demand to have the belt properly retensioned and aligned as it wasn't done right Sorry Dee, I must have not gotten the thread update. I had to take it back 3 times and demand to have it resolved. I guess they don't care to take the back wheel off and redo the alignment and tension of the belt...

    What type of oil do you use?

    They didn't come out on top on several tests, but because they were not poor in any test and some oils were they scored overall better based on a multitude of tests that they scored in the middle to above average and only occasionally scored #1 of a couple of tests. I just said its a middle of...

    What type of oil do you use?

    Personally I would not run Royal Purple, it's barely maintains its SAE rating at 100C. Its outside it's viscosity grade right out of the gate and at 15-90 cycles it's already at an SAE 30 viscosity grade. Poor shear stability and only Lucas High performance is lower being worse. It has the...

    What type of oil do you use?

    I researched Amsoil and found plenty of people who share your skepticism as do I, but I found so many people who liked the product and decided to give it a try. They pioneered synthetics in the 70's in the consumer auto markets when no body else was doing it. They have made a go of it for 4...
