• 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.

Clattering/Hammering Noise

I took the Spyder out today, and the same noise is there that started on the first mile I rode it. The engine, I believe, has a generalized loud sound, but now with a thousand miles on it, there is a contiuned slight "clattering or hammering noise" that even if it doesn't hurt the engine, I don't like it. In some ways it reminds me of an old Hillman, English car I had---it started hammering then blew a rod. Obviously the Spyder sounds are not that bad----just more than I'd like. My engine in my old Honda ST 1100 was commonly noisey, so I dropped a quart of Hyper-Lube in it, and the noise stopped to never return. I wonder if Hyper-Lube would hurt the Spyder??? What do you think??

With all this talk about friction modifier in none BRP motor oil, I don't think that be a good idea. You might fix the noise but end up with a bigger problem. IMHO
 
I'm somewhat surprised that you didn't have any clutch issues on the ST. I just read the data on this and I would be very reluctant to use it in the Spyder.

If you thing the noise is not normal I would take it back to the dealer and have them check it out.
