• 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?

    Possibly the vid you saw, recommended method: https://youtu.be/Csji-2tfwAQ?si=MGjaXgIgU7_fthAI. What you might have available to use as gauge - credit card, paper clips (Preferable thicker ones). I'd think a clothes hanger is possibly too thick & might scratch the rotor. Harbor Freight has...

    So, how fast can a spyder go and safely make a sharp right turn at an intersection?

    Ya get some more miles & learn limits (not push) the machine can do more than you can. & can brake hard enough to lift out of saddle-maybe over bars even. https://youtu.be/zElfDrZzvl8?si=Nf2sDSN91CGSwAP7

    Parking Brake Light Will Not Turn Off - Parking brake works! Any ideas?

    Sounds like good amount of troubleshooting :thumbup: & no codes or audio alarms, just the light - can you look at dash circuit board? And understanding that when it is engaged, it is supposed to flash; solid on when there is a fault - that would have a code. :dontknow:

    Where is the temperature sensor?

    :welcome: :congrats: I believe what you are seeing is ambient temperature, read by sensor in air intake to adjust the fuel/air mixture. Not engine temperature - It'll be that if it is along the top portion of the digital dash. Engine temperature will be set of pegs on the Lh side of digital...

    2010 RT-S digital gas gauge no longer showing full - need to remove sender to check?

    My Tank RARELY shows full, so I'm depending on the trip meters, & I preferably run ethanol free gas. Have been dealing with this for at least five years.
