• 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.

    Why you should flush your brake fluid properly

    One of these is a good thing to have. It eliminates guessing on moisture content. Just put the 2 probes in the fluid, not the whole tip of the pen as the plastic it's made of doesn't like brake fluid - 'go figure.'...

    2008 GS ball join replacement (Easy, or a total pain?)

    Are you certain it's the ball joints and not the inner A arm bushes - which have to be greased periodically? My GS has 103,000km and the ball joints are fine.

    Anyone got details on the Suspension zerks needed to make them easier to use?

    The grease nipples are on the inner ends of the A arms. You must remove the frunk for access.

    Anyone got details on the Suspension zerks needed to make them easier to use?

    6mm thread. I did mine soon after I got it and grease the suspension every service. I hope yours had been greased previously - or the nylon bushes wear quickly.

    How reliable are spyders?

    Reliability and quality ain't Spyder's strongest suits. It meets a niche market - folks like you and me. Many folks haven't got what they paid for, many have. Do more research.

    Which belt guard is more important - top, or both?

    Here's the one I made of sheet metal. It's attached to the lower shocky bolt with a Z shaped bracket on the right and the left side is glued to the swing arm. It's still there after 13 years. I run a 205/55-15 tyre. The slightly narrower tyre give some clearance for the aftermarket inner...

    A Message for the Moderators

    It's a fact that some folks haven't got what they paid for when they bought a new Spyder. It's great that owners share their good and bad experiences. This is what makes this forum so valuable.

    Saw this FS on Ebay

    BajaRon asks: why did they go to a dual flange? He musta forgot that there were cases early on where the belt was so far out of alignment that it cut into the transmission case. 'Correctly' being the operative word.

    998cc Newbie with 2008 990, stumbling and limp mode

    A few folks have removed the DPS fuse(s) until the trike has been repaired with a new DPS unit as I recall.
