• 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.

    Omaha ryders?

    Yes. I used to live in Omaha and my father is who started up Greater Omaha Packing Co in about 1922. And I moved to Mexico City in 1953. So there is at least one person in this group that's from Omaha. But I ride around Mexico City. Arthur---Mexico City

    Best Battery?

    You have to see a battery as you would see a bank checking account. You can only take out as much as you put in. The trick is to have a larger capacity alternator with its larger voltage regulator and then a larger capacity storage battery. That means a bigger (in dimension) size battery. I...

    Leak from oil filter

    To me it sounds like an impossible problem. I imagine that the O ring was not correctly placed in its groove. That the cover of the oil filter is warped is beyond my belief. The mechanic who changed your oil must have placed the O ring incorrectly. Check it out yourself. If the O ring was...

    Parasitic drain?

    There sure is something wrong and it's that you guys without a stand by battery charger don't go to WalMart and buy one of those $22.00 automatic battery float chargers. They are very good and will keep your battery charged when the Spyder is not in use. They come with a short 2 conductor cable...

    LED or HID What you think?

    Friends, If you aim your OEM headlights correctly you will find that they shine well and illuminate the road ahead very well. The trick is to get them aimed. The instruction book doesn't indicate the way to do this correctly. One of my cars has its headlights the same hight as my 2008 GS...

    Anyone installed the ISCI Fan Can

    Is this fan adaptable on a 2008 SE5 Spyder? Your comment that it works well while riding in 100º temperatures isn't the answer. Will it keep things cool when being stopped at a stop light, and riding in slow moving heavy traffic? Arthur---Mexico City

    Questions about belt problem

    From the looks of the photos of your belt I think you are living on borrowed time. You HAVE to change the belt. If the present driver and driven sprockets have been in use for 33,000 miles they both should be replaced when the new belt is installed. The sprockets suffer wear that you can't...

    My Handbrake Story

    I made a mechanical hand brake that works like a charm BUT as was said it takes a lot of hand power to really stop the Spyder fast, like in an emergency. Using the hand lever at the same time as the foot brake is fabulous. I started with a clutch cable lever setup as is used on mechanical hand...
