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.

Check your oil level, after the machine has been ridden enough to bring temp up
If the oil level is too high, the blow-by will end up in your airbox. Many new owners aren't aware that the Spyders oil NEEDS to be checked when the engine is HOT. Many think if they start the Spyder & let it sit & run for a few minutes, that since their Temp. gauge reads in the middle, that its warm enough. This is not the case, as the Temp. gauge is reading your coolant temp. not the engine nor oil temp. & if you check your oil level before it is correctly warmed up, then your reading will be low on the dip-stick, causing many to "top-off" their oil & in actuality overfilling the oil & causing the excess to"blow-by" & going into the airbox. Many have also added a "catch-can" in the airbox to help eliminate the oil from getting to the filter. Not saying this is "For Sure" your problem, but it does cause the symptoms you posted about. Hope this helps :thumbup:
