• 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.

    08 GS will not start

    I'm not sure about that, but you do have to depress the brake pedal on the SE5's in order for them to start.

    f3s down and out at 12,500 miles (for second time)

    The early GS and RS's had this same problem. I've had the bolt that holds the front sprocket onto the output shaft break once, and come loose and fall out once also. Both times were covered under warranty and took 6 to 8 weeks to get fixed. The next time will be on my dime. Lol

    High RPMs

    What model and year of Spyder do you have? That makes a difference also. Every one is different on the mileage it gets.

    Poor gas mileage 2012 RTL

    I have an 08 GS SE5 with 27,000 miles on it, and only get about 25 mpg at best. I run it at 6000 rpm range, but only drive around town for the most part. I think that it is much like a car you have a city and highway mileage. I notice that when I do run it on longer highway trips it gets better...

    spyderpops beltguard ?

    I had no problems installing mine, and making sure it doesn't rub. Just take your time. The cardboard does really help keep a gap.

    A few Tech Product inquiries!

    What I have done. Rather than risk ruining my regular phone. I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S4 Active on Ebay. With the newest version of Google maps you can download a map area to your phone. This let's you use the gps, without using data on the phone. So no service is required. I just...

    Transmission not engaging fully

    The pulley would be the front sprocket. The splines on the inside of it are probably shot. There is just a bolt and washer that holds it on to the output shaft. Then you have to remove the drive belt,and you can take the sprocket off and look for wear. Do a search on here for front sprocket, and...

    Around Lake Michigan

    If you can find the time the Dune rides at, Silver Lake are great. Also stopping in Ludington for some smoked whitefish is worth it. A friend and I are thinking about making a trip along Lake Michigan, the last week in July. Going from Northern Indiana to the UP and back.

    Plastic Radiator Canister Cracked

    Homecoming Challenges

    This will be the first time in my 40, by then 41 years of life stepping foot in another country. Even though I already have a passport as a requirement for my work. I will need to get mine renewed before then. Don't wait until the last minute to get a new one, or renew, they can be slow in...

    Brake pads squealing in reverse

    It's common. My 08 GS does the same thing. You can try keeping the brakes cleaned to help reduce it some.

    Spyder Homecoming!

    That's the route up I'm looking at. I don't want to try and cross at Detroit. I already have a reservation at a hotel in Drummondville. Rooms will be going fast, I wouldn't wait too long before you get yours.
