• 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.

    The 10W50 does not say it is for wet clutches. Snowbelt Spyder's Amazon link says that one is good for wet clutches. I needed a magnifying glass to read it

    Oh my... lower psi in car tires on Spyder's really works!

    REAR TIRE:- I had 17.5psi in my Kumho Ecsta for 4 seasons. The centre of the tread was wearing down faster than the outsides. This season I have 15psi in the hope of making it last longer.

    Brake Failure Warning on 2008 Spyder. Dealer gave up

    I'm being very ignorant here. I also have an 08GS and have never seen a booster/reservoir on mine. A reservoir yes, but not a booster that detects pressure.
