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.

Go to the homepage and click on BajaRon, he sells EBC brake pads, etc. You may need to get the actuator from someplace like cheapcycleparts.com

I have the BajaRon EBC discs and pads and they are WAY better than OEM. Plus, you would be helping one of our best supporting vendors.

About how many miles can I get out of the factory brakes before pads have to be replaced, I have about 24,000 on them now?

EBC announced that their brake pads now come with the little clips that BRP uses to hold their pads on. BRP does not sell these separate so if you lose or break on u are SOL . Ask Ron to make sure the pas you get have the clips.
I only got 20,000 out of my rear brake but the fronts were good to 28,000.

REAR BRAKE CALIPER
You have to insert something like needle nose pliers in the two holes in the caliper. Turn clockwise while pushing hard. Do not use a clamp to push in . It has to be screwed in. Other people have had this problem including me. I never could get the piston to screw in and had to take it to the dealer. Hopefully you will have better luck.

His bike is a 2010: no Brembos on it...
Just take a honkin' Big screwdriver, and insert it between the pads. You'll have more than enough leverage to pry them apart! :thumbup:

the pads on your Spyder should just push in. You may need a tool to push them in. I use a big "C" clamp.

Depends...
Will vary with model transmission and ryding style. I got 33,000 on the rear and have over 40,000 on the fronts. :thumbup: mine is an RS manual..
