• 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.

    BRAKE FAILURE!!

    Brake Fluid I bought a medicine dropper at the local Walgreens and keep it on my bike on our long trips. It is ideal for adding brake fluid without spilling and ruining the paint finish or over filling. I also keep one to remove excess oil if I overfill.

    Brake Failure pops up, but apply/release cleads it - any ideas what's wrong?

    I bought a large eydropper at a big box pharmacy and use it to add fluid. Brake fluid is very damaging to a Spyders finish. Using an eyedropper allows me to more easily fill the resevoir with out spilling by holding a shop towel over the end of the eyedropper.
