• 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.

    VSS fault light, Check DPS and LIMP Home Mode

    Hey guys! - Thanks for the replies. Thanks Steve! But no worries my friend! :). Between the time I left work to go up to get my Spyder and before I got there the code happened again. So, they wanted more time to check things out. So, they kept it again that evening, checked the rear wheel...

    VSS fault light, Check DPS and LIMP Home Mode

    Just talked with the tech - they cleaned out the sensor connector again, then again... and now the code does not seem to be appearing. They've said to come pick it up - if it happens again it is likely they'll order a new sensor in. I'm on the way there now to pick up my SM5 and go for a test...

    VSS fault light, Check DPS and LIMP Home Mode

    They said they reset and cleared BUDS just before I left the shop after the initial service. The tech is going through the service manual and he has been checking things to do with the angle sensor - for example, the connection up front and I think he said he was going to load test the...

    VSS fault light, Check DPS and LIMP Home Mode

    Hey Doc - no McCruise. Both rear tail/brake lights are the stock type bulbs. The rear signal lights are LEDs (part of the Tripple Play) and all seem to be functioning ok as normal. Been running this setup for more then 20,000km. Thanks. Dean

    VSS fault light, Check DPS and LIMP Home Mode

    Squeaky belt????

    :thumbup: Also want to take a peek to be sure the belt is aligned correctly on the rear sprocket, just in case the squeak is just the belt out of alignment and rubbing on the flanges. Cheers. Dean

    Squeaky belt????

    Hey Jamey. Could be dirt and gunk in the sprockets. I heard this on my belt before in the winter - turns out a good cleaning did the job, no more squeak. Even with my weekly wash-down and salt protection through the winter months, I can't clean the belt and sprocket while riding, so my drive...

    NELSON-RIGGS Half Cover

    In this photo it looks like there is a velcro strap around the wind screen pocket - possible to get a nice snug fit on wide wind screens - adjustable?! Or am I seeing things? Thanks

    Nice trip to Hell and new milestone....

    Stopping is not always and option for me, while on errand runs and such. However, if I'm taking the 'long way home from work' I'll stop, try and chat. This is how I met up with the first other Spyder Ryder here in St. John's. We've been friends and hanging out on a weekly basis ever since...

    Great stuff!!:thumbup::thumbup: Happy Birthday and congratulations!! I recommend in the beginning stages you take a good look at the exercises in your Spyder's owners manual.

    RS rear fender brackets

    Neat idea - but not having one installed may not keep road water off the rider/passenger.:dontknow:

    RS rear fender brackets

    Most have heard of the fender rendering cracks in that area with a good few miles on them, but I haven't seen many threads with detailed photos and video illustrating it. Want to thank you for sharing. :thumbup: Are you still under factory or BEST warranty? Wondering if this would be covered...
