• 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.

    Brake squeak fix?

    bdspyder, if your brakes squeak then why don't you just change the pads to the newer ones that BRP have issued that eradicate this problem?

    Kicked an M3 in the a** today!

    Some utter d*ck in an M3 with a registration plate reading 'p star' thought he could take the SE5 today. He was very wrong! He had to slam the anchors on as he misjudged a gradual bend and the Spyder took it with ease at 100mph, passing him on the inside. I'm not one for street racing but some...

    Drag Race

    I think the swimming pool is for diving, is it not? I got hooked into an A road race with a Lamborghini Gallardo at the weekend. I have to say he struggled to keep up with my SE5 on the straights but did me on the corners!

    Just curious-why did you buy a Spyder?

    I'd been riding quads for many years and loved the dirt and being the one in control of my machines unlike alot of the boring cars I've driven. But there was just not enough speed for me when quadding on roads so I contemplated getting a ZX10R. That is until the wife found out what I planned to...

    Some questions for NMN and/or Kewlmetal

    I'm after the NMN 'Rear Super Bright Turn Signal' kit but need to know a few things first. 1. Does it come with amber LED's. 2. If so will they fit straight into to the Kewlmetal 1.5" small bullet lights? 3. Is the kit plug and play with the Spyder and these Kewlmetal light housings? 3. Can I...

    RH light override switch

    Yeah thanks, worked it out last night that I also need to use the left hand switch at the same time! It would be great to have the right hand switch act as a full beam blipper when the engine is running rather than do nothing at all! Did you set them to replicate what the manual suggests, or...

    RH light override switch

    Thanks for all the comments people. Does anyone know where the adjustment screws are for the bottom light lenses and how to get to them?

    Off-road spyder "Adventure"?

    I think not. Stick with the ATV's. I've been riding ATV's both on and off road for years but they just weren't fast enough for me, so I got the Spyder. Both different animals for a reason, keep them that way I say.

    RH light override switch

    Really? So you're right switch with the engine off lights up your top lights? If so that makes sense as the light would shine into the storage compartment. As my right hand switch lights the lower lights it does nothing to light the storage! Sounds like a wiring issue at factory for me. Haven't...

    Wider front tires

    Looks fine to me. The camber, castor and toe shouldn't change anyway, as these adjustments are based at the hub, rods etc, not the wheels. If these adjustments are out in the first place however, a larger or wider wheel would show it up.

    GPS

    I agree with Lamonster, speaking to someone on the phone while driving is a bad idea. It's not the holding of the phone that's the issue, it's the concentration levels moving from the road to your discussion! I know, I've been using hands free phone systems in company vehicles for almost 15...

    RH light override switch

    Are you sure about that buddy? Like you my bottom lights operate all the time when the engine is running (night or day). The upper two lights are full beams like on a car so should only be used on very dark roads when no other cars are around. However, they cause awful haloing in mist so can be...

    RH light override switch

    That doesn't work because with the ignition off the hi/low switch does nothing.

    New Backrest Option

    Not only is it too expensive, it's ugly and looks badly made. Be careful you don't buy something that will break apart after a few hard accelerations, or worse hurt you in an accident.

    RH light override switch

    I'm sure I've asked a question about this switch before but here goes anyway. The right hand light override toggle switch is apparently for lighting up the storage compartment when the engine isn't running. So then, why do the lower lights light up when you press this switch rather than the...

    Locking Handlebars

    Me too. I always lock them when away from the home and inside my garage. Never felt like they were going to give me problems or destroy the key, seems like a very well made mechanism.

    Greetings from Down Under

    Welcome from a pomme. I hear the Spyders are quite popular in Oz. My neighbour is moving to Sydney in April and he says he's seen quite a few when he's been over there on business trips. Good luck in the Ashes this year, NOT! :2thumbs::cheers:

    hand grips

    Getting back to topic, I'm going to be installing the Oxford heated grips. They fit perfectly and connect to the spare switched 12v supply on the Spyder. You can switch them off in the Summer and off 4 different heat settings in the Winter.
