• 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.

    What the hell did they do to my Spyder

    I have placed posts a number of times in the recent past about "do not" go to Ocala or Gainesville for service on anything with a motorcycle engine or any machine with a tire mounted on it. The reason I did these posts was from experience with new machines that were under warranty. I found out...

    Spyder on fire

    Something else that will help lower the temperatures in that particular area is double wrap that back exhaust header. This also reduces the heat on the insulating material on the front of the gas tank. I doubled wrapped both exhaust pipes on ours and you won't believe the temperature difference...

    THE 56 MEN WHO SIGNED THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!

    Can Snopes really be trusted to tell the truth or even a half truth? They proved many times in recent years they are biased against this great country and are wanting it to follow a european model of kings and servants. One media outlet hired a renouned detective agency to find out who really...

    Spyder on fire

    Sorry to hear about the fire but glad to hear no one was hurt. Your Guardian Angel was on the job that day. It should be remembered anytime you have flammables near or dripping on a hot surface you are bound to have a few ignite. :gaah: As you know from previous post showing laser temperatures...

    Is BRP Dishonorable?

    I'm reading this thread and I'm thoroughly confused now on the top three mileage machines. Lamont tell me the three top mileage riders so I can pm them for their addresses. When you get up to mileages nearing a "100,000 miles"... in my book that is a feat to accomplish.:clap::2thumbs: One free...

    Spyder on fire?

    Some of you probably remember when I had a fire on an 08 SM5 last year. Well I would suggest to all... check up under the instrument cluster next time you have the side and top tupper ware covers off. The reason I had the fire was due to the fact there was a white terry cloth left under the the...

    Problems in heavy traffic?

    One reason for having to apply more brake peddle pressure is due to the rotors heating up. When brakes heat up a lot they don't stop as quickly... commonly called "brake fade". Stop and go will do it everytime. Engine heating to six bars in stop and go is probably normal... but the fan should...

    Eddie... what is the napa part number for their exhaust gaskets? And... were you able to locate a substitute for the large lower gasket. If so please post the part numbers for all of us. I've been searching for 10 months trying to find a sub for that big gasket. I've been using the Honda...

    Sypder's Handling

    I suspect some of the the steering sensitivity and premature component failures are due to the front alignment. If the nanny is always having to compensate for a minor or major alignment problem something is going to wear out sooner. If you spyder seems overly sensitive in the steering...

    Won't Start, won't turn over

    Next time you check the battery terminals install a set of the the anti-corrosion pads on the terminals. They are available anywhere they sell batteries. I've used them for years and have never experienced a corroded terminal. A little reminder... every component on the spyder is controlled by...

    JUST MY FREAKING LUCK

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune but glad to hear you are ok! I hope the insurance company gives you a new spyder instead of fixing the old one. If you are like me... you'd rather have a new one. Ken krb1945

    Question for Ken (Air Filter)?

    Part of the reason the engines don't run as good on hot air is "less oxygen molecules". "Cold air is more dense thus has more oxygen molecules." Remember on a hot day when you go through a valley it is cooler because the cool air is heavier. At this point in time this only applies to earth...

    Remember this... AMSOIL guarantees their oil to still be lubricating at 25000 miles under normal conditions. And with some of their lubricants 35000 miles under normal conditions. Please check this link when you have a chance.... http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mcf.aspx and this one which is...

    Need your opinion my first long ride on the spyder

    Make sure you take a swim suit. Hit the pool every evening when you stop for the night when on the road. It will loosen up tired stiff muscles. Anything else you may not have with you can be picked up along the way. Ken krb1945

    So, it's been a bit hot in Texas this week...

    Evidently you have been forwarding some of that heat to north GA and north FL. I'm in N. GA right now and it has been up to 104 here... if memory serves me... the coolest day we've had in a week was 99. My daughter is in Burleson TX and she said it's been in 3 digits there too. Ken krb1945

    Spyder running like crap again.

    I know a fellow that said his was running like dung too. He said his air box was full of oil... so he cleaned it out installed a device to slow the oil migration to the air box. He said now it is smooth as silk. I don't know if he also changed the air filter or not. And it is always possible...
