• 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.

    Overdue Report About MTV Replacement Front Springs and Brake Discs

    I finally got around to this task. I removed my Fox shocks from my 2014 RTS and installed the H&R springs on my Fox shocks. The top mounting plate is a perfect fit. The bottom of the springs mounts directly on the top spanner adjusting nut. This adjusting nut has a collar that keeps the spring...

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

    I can't help with your fault codes...But I do remember that a guy named Ken that ran a different Spyder Forum offered a kit that seperated the front and rear brakes...That was way back in the 08 & 09 GS only days...larryd

    Is removing 1330 Water pump simple? How to drain/bleed coolant?

    Way Back in my automotive career days, whenever I replaced auto thermostats, I ALWAYS drilled a 1/8" hole in the replacement thermostat... That 1/8" hole prevented the engine block from getting air-bound when refilling the cooling system. I never experienced any negative effects. Without that...

    1330cc 2018 RT engine block with hole - is it repairable?

    I would not trust reattaching the front link rod to the epoxyed in broken casting part...I'd hope you could fabricate a different attaching bracket for the front link rod??? Time for a little aftermarket engineering...larryd

    1330cc 2018 RT engine block with hole - is it repairable?

    This may be of some help with your problem... BRP produced some 1330 engines with porous castings. Several of the engines were completely replaced, BUT, BRP also had some type of "Super Epoxy" that they were sending to those dealers fixing Spyders with oil leaking castings for the repair...

    Overdue Report About MTV Replacement Front Springs and Brake Discs

    Sound to me like you might be a good candidate for Martins H & R shock spring upgrade to your stock shocks - Less expensive than a set of Elka's and an easy-to-do fix??? PMK gave them a good review after installing them on his friend's machine. larryd PS, I should think about spending the...

    Overdue Report About MTV Replacement Front Springs and Brake Discs

    I want to make sure I'm following correctly - The only difference between your two machines is: the one has Elka shocks, and you see improved handling; and the other has Ron's adjustors on stock shocks and you don't like the handling??? larryd
