• 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.

    Rotax 998 Reliability Phosphor Bronze in Oil

    Hi Spyder Lovers, I recently changed the oil on my Rotax 998 and found small flakes of phosphor bronze in the oil. A dealer told me that I will need a new engine as the phosphor bronze has come from the big end, small end or crank shaft shells. This seems far fetched to me as the engine was...
