• 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.

    Steering play

    I asked why that would it would have come loose again and they said perhaps someone has been forcing the bars from side to side while it is standing still and its made it go loose. No- I am the only rider, its in a secure park and I have not done that. They commented they got "a full turn" on...

    Steering play

    Sorry steering rod is probably confusing. I mean steering shaft where it goes into the DPS at the top. It has a torque setting and loctite according to the workshop manual.

    Steering play

    OK it went in for a service, they removed the trunk and tightened the steering rod where it attaches to the DPS (cost me around $100 on top of the service). It is all tight again but this is the second time that it has done this since they replaced the DPS unit- never had a problem before that...

    Steering play

    Not worn but lose- very good chance. Will know when the dealer checks it in a few days.

    Steering play

    Yes and 3" Custom Dynamics risers as well. Its going to the dealer for a service next week and they fixed the sloppy steering last time after they replaced the DPS so hopefully they can do it again. Had the chance to check a friends Spyder yesterday - no play at all.

    Steering play

    Appreciate the thought but (and I guess I should have mentioned this earlier) I can get my hand in and feel no real movement of the shaft down at the DPS when the bars wobble. I actually thought it may be right at the top where the handlebars are clamped but after a very frustrating hour or so...

    Steering play

    I doubt it but I am unsure as to how would that show up as play in the handlebars- with no movement in the steering rods etc?

    Steering play

    Hi All I have a little bit of "play" in the handlebars (2008 GS but very low miles) . Not sure if it has always been there or whether I just noticed it :sour:. Does anyone else have this? It is not wear in the ball joints etc as it does not get that far - if that makes sense. When I had my DPS...

    WINDSHIELDS & WIND DEFLECTORS

    I tried a Laminar Lip on my RS touring screen and it did not help much at all. Size is not the be all and end all. Its how the airflow is controlled. I would strongly recomend that you look at the Madstad adjustable screen. http://www.madstad.com It has a huge range of adjustment and by...

    Possible Driving Light ??

    Weird vibration riding 2 up on the interstate....

    And fitting one of Jims belt tensioners (www.smoothspyder.com) has been claimed by many to solve this vibration.

    ANTI-SWAY BAR

    Many people have fitted these without removing the trunk completely. If you have some ramps so you can work under the Spyder you can remove the lower bolts and lever the trunk up enough to install (I am told - I have a GS)

    Handlebar Risers

    As long as you don't have the optional 1" BRP riser the 4.5" Ezy Risers should fit fine. If you don't have enough cable length then you have not found all te cable ties to snip :). These are much cheaper than the billet ones and they are in my opinion more adjustable in that they allow more...

    LED Bulbs

    You just need to put a resistor in the circuit. The nanny is expecting a certain load from a filament globe- if not it figures the globes are blown and it freaks out. You just need a cheap resistor in each side - 12v 6 ohm. "More and more customers are experiencing sporadic warning messages in...

    Sway Bars from Down Under

    Hi I fitted an Evoluzione bar to my GS in late 2008 and it was the best $'s I ever spent. Some feedback I have received on the Australian sway bar below- Josh in Colorado USA says " I just installed it and your right - it is the best thing I have done to it. It's Amazing." Tony...

    windshield help?

    I believe its not just the height of the screen. You need to eliminate the negative pressure that causes turbulence off the top of the screen. Any screen fixed flush to the Spyder bodywork will tend to do that . This is one of the main reasons the Madstad screen works so well.

    What windshield is this?

    What windshield is this?

    Looks like it is one of Marcels F4 variations. He is no longer in business and many people lost money with him folding up his tent.
