• 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.

    Noisy Brake Question....

    Did you ever get a fix for this? I posted the same issue. I am not sure that those who responded understood that this is an issue of a noise that occurs in a particular point in the wheel travel while simply pushing the bike backward or forward while IN NEUTRAL. I was just out there with it now...

    Brakes sound like the mating call of the humpback whale

    I need some help- With the Spyder (SM5) in neutral and the parking brake off (so as to roll the bike forward and back), the rear wheel emits a sound exactly like a whale's mating call. Clearly, it is the brake rubbing but I cannot seem to get rid of it. The metal stop for the parking brake will...

    Where's the brake squeal service bulletin?

    careful! Just be careful- My breaks squealed slightly but I figured, what the heck, new brake pads- Thing has squealed like a stuck pig ever since. I am going to have to take it back to get it checked. It has been nearly 2 months and no difference.

    Relay Question...

    Thank you both- My problem is that I can never tell that the darn fan is on- I can't hear it, see it, whatever. My dealer tells me it works and even recorded the temps where it kicked in and out. Nonetheless, you can't replace a relay if you don't know its gone bad! ....I don't think one gets...

    Relay Question...

    Bones- "I'm a Doctor DAMMIT, not a mechanic!" Ok, I'll bite on the newby question- Why does one need to be swapping out these relays?

    I mean D-E-A-D stereo mod-

    Son of a *&$%! Scotty- That did the trick! You gotta quit your day job and do this full time! I still think I will look at a relay situation to keep this from happening again though I did crank it up to full riding volume on the switched circuit and it was solid- Thank to all for the...

    how to fix your brake noise

    Thanks Tom for a great fix- I just had the warranty replacement pads put on and damn if the thing didn't then squeal like a stuck pig rolling along WITHOUT applying the break. Figured they were adjusted down a little tight- Tried your fix and now, "SSHHhhhhhh..." Let's hope that it last a...

    I mean D-E-A-D stereo mod-

    the main lead is red and of greater guage than the others- The fuse itself is small, gray, and marked "2"- The wire to hold the settings in memory is yellow. I will try going back to battery to test your suggestion. Thanks very much all-

    I mean D-E-A-D stereo mod-

    OK, but can the lowered voltage result in a fried radio under the conditions described? BJT, the power lead fuse is 2A 250v. Should this technician have known to tell me that I can't just ask him to hook the electronics up to a switched circuit; that he should have informed me of the relay...

    I mean D-E-A-D stereo mod-

    Service invoice reads, "radio and GPS wired to ACC plug (fused and works w/ ign switch) I did not hear any sound after we installed the 5 amp fuse- The level would have been too low to hear and with the bike running, I presumed that it was simply too low to hear but I now suspect that there was...

    I mean D-E-A-D stereo mod-

    (I posted the stereo mod elsewhere in this subforum-) OK- I can NOT figure this out but I feel like I should have some clue before I call the dealer- Here is the background: I installed a Pyle 200w AM/FM/CD player (no other amp) with a hard-wired remote and 6 speakers. I ran the hot...

    BRP pissed me off big time now!

    MM-Success in business is ALWAYS in the details and so I commend your concerns! Keep up the good work but try to limit the degree of visceral response next time. People who get riled up too often find that they cannot talk with a breathing tube in their windpipe ;)

    Authorized for service other than Hallem, PA

    Is there anyone in the Harrisburg/Lancaster, PA area for authorized service? I have interacted with 2 service people at ___ Kawasaki. Both had a clearly diminutive affect such that even my 18 yo daughter said to me afterward, "what was with that lady" referring to a woman who registered my...

    Stereo Mod completed

    Couldn't resist this final add-on- Just wasn't happy with the sound (low speakers and sound quickly behind me)- So I added this pair of non-amplified Road Rumblers. Sound is excellent and I can hear now!

    Stereo Mod completed

    That heavy duty plastic interlock (like velcro) that they sell at Radio Shack http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104175 Works great, nothing moves and peels off if you don't like it there.
