• 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 there a trick to getting the Right Rear Axle Cap for a 2022 Spyder RT on properly?

I purchased a used 2022 Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky and noticed afterwards that it was missing the Rear Axle Caps which was on my previous F3 Limited. The left cap went on with no issues, but when putting on the right cap (side with nut and pin), it doesn't want to go on all the way. I can only get it to go in about half way. Also notice it was missing the pin which prevents the nut from backing up? Is there a trick to getting the right cap cover to go on or do I need to lower the muffler and whack it with force? I wasn't able to find any videos on YouTube which had similar issues. Yes, both caps appear to be the same length. Did I get two left caps?

There should be a slot on the end of that cap, so that it lets the cotter pin pass through it and seat on the end of the shaft! You could put one in it with a knife or Dremel tool.
 
I created a slot for mine as mentioned, and then added a small glob of sealer (on both L and R) to ensure they stayed put. So far they have.
 
At the end of the day all they do is just keep out some of the road crud from getting in there! Really, they are not needed, a good hit with the hose when you wash your bike and there you go!
