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.

Spyder ST Air Box Location
I concur with your comments about the air box and plug replacements. Last fall my ST was due. After looking at the multi-page procedure, I opted to pay the dealer to do this.
I was at a Club meeting last night (we have many different bikes in the Club) and we are not alone. Some Harleys and BMWs have the same issues.

Try this....
Someone once posted that you can reach the front plug by using extensionsome and going through the top. Remove the instrument cluster and get it thru there. I had already discarded the air box for JT's air filter system thus no longer have this problem...nor did I try this method...:dontknow:

I changed the plugs on our 2012 RT. That air box is a pain but it can be removed.(With some bloodshed)

I bought JT's Air Filter for my RS just so I could get rid of the airbox and make maintenance a lot easier - the induction roar was a bonus
Mind you I've also got Ron's Iridium plugs now so don't have to change them so often anyway.

I bought a Performance Air Kit about 5 or 6 years ago getting rid of the air box and the $1.99 air filter I found in it and have no Regerts..........Regrets.
I had the Spyder for about 6 months in 2009 and had a bad gas smell. Took it to the dealer and not having a certified spyder tech there, they told me it was fine. I took it to another shop on the way home and the owner introduced me to a tech, that used to be the spyder tech at this dealership. He took it for a ride and told me what to buy in parts and than bring it back to him. Getting that front plug out, the electroid was burnt down to nothing. The tech said looking at the rear plug its new the front one because its hard to get to with the box, looks like the original plug it came with and was never changed out because of the difficulty getting to it. Basically you have been running on one cylinder. I took the plug to the dealer and was told that wasn't the reason for the gas smell and who told you that? Told the service manager, the tech that used to work here on spyder's.
