• 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.

    Rust dust

    Just a reference mark for the bolt. I have zero confidence in the dealer that did the work on my spyder and this is just for my peace of mind the bolt isn't backing out. these are the same guys who adjusted my belt so tight it could be picked like a guitar string..

    Rust dust

    Me personally i would want to make sure something was on the splines, but that's your choice to make. Once the dust appears its time to replace the pulley. The dealer set my belt tension too high after tire replacement which may have contributed to my problem. I only had 10.5k miles on my 17...

    Rust dust

    Red dust have the dealer add loctite moly paste to the shaft splines before installing the new pulley. Its fretting and breaking down the pulley. The dealers should be pulling all these and getting ahead of the problem, but seem content to let one after the other fail and then address the...

    2 Up shock data

    Completely agree with that and my compromise wil be a stiffer suspension to get the handling i want. I learned a lot about suspension setups from racing nitro rc cars of all things. If a trophy truck can keep its wheels on the ground im sure the same can be done on the street. Just a matter if...

    2 Up shock data

    this is good info. This is a nice mod for less than$100. I doubt the shock would pogo with a 200lb+ rider and 500lb spring. My M2 ahocks are being built around a 600lb spring, but the shock is being valued accordingly. Im tempted to do this mod just to see how well it works and maybe keep it...

    2 Up shock data

    I'd take a pogo stick over riding around on the bump stops. You could probably get away with just adding the spring, but its a band aide over the real problem. Spring only cost $70 and should be easy to replace. I have M2 shocks on order so this was just something fun to play with.

    put on the new kenda kannie

    That was a hella score on the shocks in just time saved. Patiently waiting on mine to be built. I run a Kuhmo at 25# and ran my favorite twisty 50mph road and they are a lot better in the corners with no roll feel. I hated how the stock rear moved around and felt inconsistent. Are you...

    put on the new kenda kannie

    Didn't you just get the M2 shocks that were for sale?! Were u running them? I run a Kuhmo and it bites in the corners where the factory tire rolls. I was hoping the kanime would be more like a car tire.

    I need two m4 screws for the throttle assembly

    Ace Hardware if you have one close to you. Much easier to get automotive type screws there in the length you need in a small quantity. Don't put wood screw crap from HD and Lowe's in your Spyder. I'm like you and magically disappear screws..put it in a paper towel, tape it up and buy spares lol..

    Sounds like marbles

    Did you just do your 1st service? If so, check the oil level. It's time for an oil change if you haven't done it yet.

    Dead Spyder

    doesn't explain the screen going blank. Bad battery more than likely.

    More dealer robbery

    I feel your pain. Local shop wanted to charge me 6.5hrs shop time for a front pulley replacement. 10k miles on the spyder and sprocket issue was related to them setting belt tension too high after tire replacement. I habe plenty of tools and will be able to justify buying any tool needed based...

    Front Sprocket Failure

    Did the dealer replace your sprocket dry with no lube? Curious as I have the paste you specified, but want to make sure it's not an issue also.

    Has anyone successfully changed sprockets on the F3 Limiteds?

    What tune is your friend running?

    California Car Pool lane - is my Spyder allowed?

    ironically last inspection the tech listed my Spyder as a motorhome lol. I'm glad i caught it because it would be hard to explain if i were pulled over, but yes carpool away..
