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.

I suspect your problem is similar to one that intermittently seems to affect my new Spyder, a 2017 F3 Ltd. with integral top case. It seems that sometimes my latch doesn't always close tight, or that the sensing system doesn't register that it is closed, even though we try to close it snugly and think we have. Then, the orange light comes on as we prepare to ride. Doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, we just re-open, then firmly re-close the top. The warning light disappears. Think it may have something to do with design or operation of the latch/signal mechanism. Not a big enough worry, or often enough at this point to do much about; but I'm monitoring it as we go.

Top case bug
I have had the case on for 3200 miles and it's starting to have the same issue.
When we were on vacation I put a small bandaid on the pin going down on the switch and it kept the light from coming on. It could be the switch moving or the wearing down of the plastic pin, I haven't had time to trouble shoot it any further.

Similar to what we did. Added a piece of foam tape to the pin the pushes down on the contact. Problem disappeared. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

It’s a systemic problem. The latch is bad. Your can put a screw in there to keep the latch up.
