• 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.

Anyone having oil or tar on the back of your Spyder?
It looks like new and old grease from an over greased trailer bearing slinging it as you are passing.
Its only on the back truck, saddlebag and helmet area.

I had this same thing going on and it was driving me nuts. It was more prevalent on the first few rides this season and now it has stopped. Yesterday I replaced both headlight bulbs and the headlight adjusters were covered with that same grease that had seeped out from the cable being lubed. There was more on the left side and that's where more of it showed up on the left side mud flap, trunk and saddlebag. If I remember correctly the adjusters on my 2013 were mounted horizontally but the ones on my 2015 are mounted vertically. I'm thinking that over the winter the grease creeped and accumulated then on the first few rides it found it's way to the back. Call me crazy but I think that is where my grease was coming from. Check those adjusters and see if they have grease on them.
 
I have it as well.....BUT I think its coming out my exhaust! I have A short slip on pipe. My machine loves oil! I could be wrong?
