• 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.

    Global Warming......yeah, about that!

    "Global warming"? or "climate change"? I don't usually comment but I think the term "global warming" is misleading and should be referred to as "climate change". Here in Queensland Australia 2017 was the hottest year on record. Recently in the west we have seen 45 deg C and more - that's 113...

    I had a specialist CNC machining company ready to look at the project but without an example to copy they can do nothing for a reasonable price.

    Where is Al Gore

    I personally think that the phrase "globalwarning" can be misleading as we are really taking "climate change" . Down here we are having record hot spells currently and the warmer sea temps generate ever larger storms as well as killing off the coral in the Great Barrier Reef. Only time will tell.

    Steering free play

    I had the same thing on my 2008GS. The rod from the bars to the DPS unit is connected by a splined tapered coupling. There is a pinch bolt that locks that coupling up tight. If the bolt and nut comes loose the system developes free play which gets worse as the coupling gets looser. I probably...

    Do Can Am Spyders have a Reserve Tank???

    No just the visual warning of the gas light and then later an audible warning. The audible warning is everything goes quiet :joke:
