• 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.

    Oil Sprayed down Side Of Spyder RT, What Could Cause This?

    Did you have it recently serviced? Oil and filter change? If so, they could of not tightened the filter canister cap, cross-threaded it?? Maybe the oil cap/dip stick was not properly screwed down and/or tightened? Other than that, you might have to start pulling/removing panels. Mac:dontknow...

    Torq. spec. of front mainshaft pulley bolt??

    I did notice after looking at the parts list that the bolt had locktite on the threads, so I just inspected it and could not find any looseness and my belt tracts fine. So in my opinion it's GTG. Thanks for the warning JC. Mac:thumbup:

    Torq. spec. of front mainshaft pulley bolt??

    QUESTIONS ABOUT BLEEDING RTL BRAKES

    Finished bleeding the brakes today and did get a firmer pedal. I did do a complete flush, or as "complete" as possible without trying to find a dealer that I can trust close to me, Flushed the VCM and all 3 calipers and I would say that I got at least a 50% better feel out of the pedal. I even...

    Belt alignment

    When replacing my rear wheel after a tire change, I got the right distance(approx. 2mm) from the flange when it was rolled forward but when I rolled backwards, I had about 5mm from the flange. I do mine using a lift and when the axle is loosened I pound the tire forward using a large rubber...

    Fix-A-Flat

    Yes:agree: with you on the issues it would cause w/tpms sensors. I know I used to use SLIME in my off-road m/c's and 4x4 trucks/Jeeps and the mess that stuff would make when popping the tires off the rims. I hope I never have to sit on the side of the road and try and find an air leak in a tire...

    Fix-A-Flat

    I myself use tire plugs, but I guess in a pinch, fix-a-flat would get me home also. I don't know if there is any truth to this but I've been told by tire shops, that some sealants are corrosive to wheels, don't know. Mac:dontknow:

    Non ethanol in the spyder?

    I don't know but when I'm travelling westward, we see quite a few "farms" that have big AS* four wheel drive tractors that look pretty new and some of them are driven by GPS! When I worked the farm back in the 70's before I went into the service, the farmer that my dad and I worked for had the...
