• 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.

998cc Clank noise on start up

I have a 2011 Spyder RT and lately ive been getting this clank noise on start up sometimes, but never on a cold start, just after ive ridden it a while turn it off then restart, then there goes the clank, then when I try it again it starts right up. .. What does that mean? Could the starter be going bad?
 
I get something similar on odd occasions too. I suspect it's a question of where the pistons stopped in their stroke causing it due to higher compression when hot. It's not been a problem for me, just a curiosity.
 
You may just need to replace a weakening battery. I've had a similar symptom lately and then it was D.E.A.D this morning. So I changed the battery and she starts quicker and smooth as silk.
