• 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.

I very easily could be wrong but you're symptoms are exactly what I was experiencing and it had nothing to do with parking...

    Thanks for putting this out there...called my dealer this morning and am taking it in Thursday for the update..........dealer replaced the throttle body a couple of weeks ago so it's important for me to get the update done before the new throttle body starts acting up also!

    The dumbest Spyder question yet.

    I was getting gas at a small gas station in a small Texas town when a ratted out looking Harley rider informed me "someone put your bike together backwards"......I politely smiled and tooled on off into the sunset, "Not" vibrating my back teeth or blowing out my ear drums....
