• 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.

    Do you think we'll see Spyders with DCT soon?

    OFF TOPIC. Peter, are you confusing AMT with DCT? Sure, the newer big Volvos have a second clutch pack on their AMT, to speedup gear changes but l don't believe it's regarded as a DCT. What say you?

    Does this heat shield kit for GS/RS make a difference?

    The 'missing heat shield' will help keep heat from the rad off your leg. The 'missing air dam' helps more air to flow thru the radiator, which is a good thing. I made my own soon after getting my GS.

    622 Trailer wheel hub seal - anyone have the generic part no?

    If it's the cup (inner race) that you're referring to - a solid drift (punch) and a medium sized hammer, working your way around it but at 6 & 12 o'clock positions as your tap it out. Or have you done it already?

    Belt cover/guard: needed or not?

    No need for an inner belt guard until you need one. Caused by a pebble from R wheel getting stuck in the pulley - 2 week old trike.

    Anyone else had this 'Key Failed to Read' Problem?

    Peter - isn't there a place in Oz that flashes the ECU that can also disable DESS?

    Completed my semi annual "lie on my back and add air to the rear tire" routine

    At next tyre change, have a 2" valve stem fitted. The extra length is flexible and helps when checking. Also ensure that the drive pulley is fitted to the wheel in the original (factory fitted) position. It fits into the wheel in 5 positions - only 1 gives easier access to the valve.

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    I reckon you're over-thinking the issue. I have never heard of this same concern previously. Apply a couple of tiny dabs of grease to the edge of the belt perhaps and take it for a run and see what develops - that's what I would do, but you're not me. :roflblack:

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    Ride it forward a short distance, stop and check. I take the couple of tools with me to adjust it as needed each stop until correct.

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    With respect Iso: Start her up idling in gear on the jack ... is not the way to check alignment.

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    The belt can't come of the front sprocket with flanges both sides. What you're smelling may not be the belt. I care because its binding real hard up against the outside flange. How did you determine that? I can understand that you care, but I don't think that there's anything to care...

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    If the belt can be got to track correctly on the rear sprocket, that's all that matters surely. Who cares where it is on the front? It can't come off. Sure it might get hot, but it's bolted to the engine.

    2016 F3T Reverse Actuator Part number confirmation please?

    That should be 710003776 - superseded to 219800522 surprisingly cheap I thought at $141 https://www.ktmhobart.com.au/part/canam/219800522#content

    2010 RSS with belt noise - will adjusting the back adjust the belt front pulley too?

    See item 2 below. Flange is on outside - opposite side to rear pulley, for obvious reasons. https://www.ktmhobart.com.au/partFinder/fiche/canam/2010/spyder-rs-roadster-sm5/drive-system-rear#next

    2010 RSS with belt noise - will adjusting the back adjust the belt front pulley too?

    That front pulley is fitted incorrectly. The flange should be on the outside.
