• 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.

    Steam Punk

    I've recently discovered this genre or culture. I love the detail and style. It's called Steam Punk and basically it's high technology or science fiction design from a Victorian era perspective using period materials. Everything from weaponry to fashion. Max

    Obscure Old Tools

    I think it could be fun to post pics of whats in our tool boxes and garages if they're old and unique... and try to figure / guess their uses. O.K. gals ...no husband photos!! :shemademe_smilie: If you want to post an " obscure widgit" from Boeing then ...ok ...but I'm guessing some of us have...

    Bum signal lights

    Thanks for the info but ya know??......can't be bothered. BRP knows the mileage and I just have to "carry the 6000" in my head for my service interval. All is good and if the monsoons in central Alberta stop I may yet get to ride! Trust me...100 mm in 24 hrs. is a lot! 'cmon..get your rulers...

    Bum signal lights

    Sigh...Why couldn't the world just have been happy with a Chevy 350 cu engine and a Rochester Quadrajet. Now that made sense!! I could fix that with an American Dime (thinner than Canadian) and my Moms good serving spoon!:clap: Max

    Oh..By the way. Oddly enough the mileage was reset with the new cluster but the Hrs. on the engine remained accurate.:dontknow: Max

    Bum signal lights

    First let me thank you all for the responses and ideas and for not making the usual jokes about "intermittent signal lights". "Are they working? yes...no..yes..no...yes..no..yes...no! Well I managed to sneak away today and pick up the bike. And the winner is........THE CLUSTER! To quote my tech...

    Bum signal lights

    I suppose so. you would think with it being digital they could pop the numbers in there. Not a biggie ..it's only got 6000 km. on it anyway. Max

    Thanks for the replies. Yeah I know Scotty...she's an odd duck electrically and I guess that makes sense. And wyliec, they did do a thorough trace of the harness and rechecked all the connectors and added dialetric grease. I thought like you, maybe something got pinched when they did the DPS...

    Bum signal lights

    I got my 2008 sm5 in for the DPS and other updates. Ran like a dream except the signal lights became intermittent. Now I don't know about you folks but I don't want a Spyder coming off warranty with an intermittent electrical problem.:shocked: The tech ordered the handlebar switch and replaced...
