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 know of/have a Pre Delivery Checklist/Inspection list? Suggestions?

There is one that comes with your new Spyder. Mine was behind the frunk liner velcroed to the battery cover. No one ever touched it or check marked anything on it prior to delivery. I guess my dealer doesn't bother with them. But anyway it is there if you need it.

I have not received mine yet, but when I do get it, the first thing I'll check is the ride height connector arm (don't know that actual names) that connects the height sensor with the rear wheel trailing arm.
This small connecting arm is disconnected for boxing and shipping. It is often forgotten during unboxing assembly. This results in the ride height being very low and bottoming-out causing rear suspension damage. Also, because the computer doesn't sense the actual ride height, the compressor may run all the time trying to raise the bike.
Shawn Smoaks talked about this in one of his videos from last year. If I can find it, I'll add the link.
Thank you Frogman! That will be really useful when my bike is ready for pick-up.

Good suggestion to check this. Mine was not connected and while I was crawling underneath just to look around about a month after I bought it I noticed it.

That thing must have rode that crap! It must have made a world of difference once you got it hooked up and calibrated with Buds.

I would also look at the lower rear shock bolt, mine was about to fall out.

Here you go Jetfixer! Like I said previously, my dealer did none of this when I picked up my Spyder. But I have a relationship with them so maybe it was a bit less formal. I can assure you that everything was in order as far as the Spyder pre-delivery was concerned.

Thank you very much! I work on a lot of friends' Spyders, and I can tell you that very few of them have the customer info installed via BUDS. Makes me wonder what else they skipped...
