• 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.

    How should a novice check brake pad thickness?

    I have removed both sets of pads a few times to check the thickness of the pad material. When the pads are still fairly thick, you can see them easily (while they're mounted.)

    Need to Adjust Seat Backwards after dealer visit - any hints on DIY?

    Any thoughts on this Handlebar vibration/shake?

    Handlebar vibration indicates the Spyder has balance issues ..... a high speed SPIN balance may fix this ..... however if you still have Kenda tires it may not .... not un-common for Kenda's to be defective ..... good luck ....Mike :thumbup:
