• 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.

    Anyone had their Rear shock leak oil??

    Spyders are complex machines. If they run, they work good, but everything with wheels will break at one point. You are just the Lucky guy who has it happen all at once.... So when all these glitches are solved, you are going to have a wonderful machine, don't step outta the game for a few...

    Tire pressures in hot weather

    Air gets more dense, when hot. on a warm day it is perfectly normal, that tire pressure goes up, dunno what the max pressure would be, but I am sure, Blueknight will chime in, else Peter.. they are the tyreguru's on this forum. but an increase of 6 is nothing to worrie about

    New Guy on Left Coast - looking at buying a Ryker or maybe Spyder, but which model?

    Agree with fredgal, Opt for an F3s, much more suited for your needs, Ryker is more for offroad, and toying around a bit, no offense to the Ryker ryders, I think they are a blast, but for what the OP starter, says in the post, need for speed, and better handling, I would go for an F3 every day of...

    Front tyre sizes. How big can you go? Whats best?

    I absolutely agree, with Mike and Peter, they are the tyre guru's, I,ve been reading allot on the forum about tyres, piled up all the advice, and decided for 175/60-15 Michelin's, and no regrets, also been tinkering with tyrepressure, and 1.5 bar does the trick for me.... I learn every day, when...

    Looking for a Spyder RT charm - Any ideas?

    Just an Idea, go to a good Jeweller and ask if he knows someone who can make you one. I just don't think you find one laying on the shelf due to demand, but maybe a creative silversmith can make you one? I like the idea, maybe start a poll and see if we can make a batch for people who want one?

    Shortage of Chili peppers too!

    Little Blue, not just America, This is a global problem, Everyone is blaming Covid-19, imho The whole system was broken already, before covid-19 It's easy to put the blame, on something you cannot control, We should all be putting more time into fixing the system, and get the world rolling again....

    Front tyre sizes. How big can you go? Whats best?

    I run 175/60-15 Michelin Cross-Climates, and they fit without any alteration to the fenders (Spyder F3s 2019), Nanny behaves like normal.... actually my nanny really likes these tyres... But I think, if you go bigger than 175, you will have to alter things, and in the long run, the...

    Knocking sound on deceleration was loose front pulley!

    The bolt not tight enough, might just be the "red dust"starter, imho, if the pulley/sprocket is slightly loose, it could move on the splines, causing the rust, and the rattling noise... again just my two cents

    1330cc Should I Straight pipe my F3S 2016?

    I run a cat delete from RLS, baffled, with an acropovic endpipe, and this produces a darker more gruntier sound. When measuring with a good Decibel Meter, the acro is more silent than the OEM Muffler with cat delete. Straight pipe, is a whole other story - this is just obnoxious. Over here in...

    1330cc Should I Straight pipe my F3S 2016?

    Agree with greg, Oe muffler and straight pipe will do the trick, else an cat- delete, if you worry bout backpressure, the bikes ecu, can cope with the difference without a Tune

    Is this Belt Noise from Left side of engine normal? Goes away when warmed up?

    I have the whine at 70 Km/h, goes away at 71 km/h, under 70 no whining. Cannot wait for the new white pulley/sprocket

    New bike 600 miles and already troubles?

    I saw your film, and me thinks it's not the battery but a faulty switch, your safety card message is'nt disappearing, try to hold the button for a while, so that the safety message disappears - maybe a little compressed air would help, sprayed in the switch... If that message doesn't get away...

    Should I use API SM Oil; & can low oil cause exhaust smoke?

    I am with Baja Ron, on this subject, also think that one sparkplug or lead is going bad, and causing the smoke, also a cylinder compression check, comes to mind..
