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.

How much are they charging you for the belt replacement? Mine has a little damage and dealer wants to change all the sprockets as well for over $1000!!!

Reading this thread prompted me to hurry and order The missing belt guard on Spyderpops. 45.00 is a good insurance policy from this happening to me. The belt guard on your Spyder only comes with a outside guard but the rocks come from the inside mostly. The missing belt guard protects the belt and sprocket from your own tire throwing up a rock into the belt from the inside. I have less than 800 miles on my Spyder and have already encountered 2 roads under construction where I had to keep going on rock.
Belt replacement
I originally brought my 2015 F3SE into the shop in Reno NV to have the front sprocket removed and put back on with 660 loctite. In the process the mechanic ( Cameron, whom I trust) discovered tar embedded rocks that had damaged the belt. So the total charge for the labor and parts is $632.97 (belt can be purchased from “cheap motorcycle parts” for approx. $309.00). The integrity of the belt was “iffy”, but I am cautious with making sure the bike will be reliable. I have owned several bikes with open belt drives and put hundreds of thousands of miles on them and never had any belt defects. My wife’s identical bike with similar touring miles had no belt defects. Go figure.
Really think I need a belt guard.
