• 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.

Fender moves

When I brake my right front fender bounces up and down like I'm on a washboard surface. Dont feel anything in brake pedal so dont think its warped rotor. Could this be bad shock? Any ideas?

Interesting. ...

Being a relatively new model I would start with the fender suppports. Not feeling much in the pedal seems unlikely but check lug bolts, wheel bearings, tire cupping and disc ( clean with some brake cleaner). Let us know what you find....:thumbup:
 
Had the same thing. Dealer replaced the rotor under warranty and the problem went away. I have seen several posts about people having rotor issues. Curious if they had a bad batch (probably not likely) or a bad installations procedure. Anyway replacing the rotor took care of the issue.

While the Spyder is parked, wheels straight ahead, get alongside the offending fender & while facing the Spyder, gently grab each end, ie, the front & rear lips of the fender... Then while watching for where the movement occurs, gently try to wriggle the fender. If it doesn't move separately to the wheel/rotor, you are going to hafta look at them for the issue, but if the fender moves without them, look to see where that happens - it could be anywhere/thing from the fender supports all the way in-board to the bushes on the suspension swing arms, I'd guess at the uppers being more likely, cos you don't usually see the fender move if it's the lower arm bushes that need replacement!!

Good Luck! :thumbup:

Not feeling anything through the pedal might be misleading: your footgear might be hiding the pulsing of the brake pedal from you.
I'd have the rotors checked for straightness; good luck! :thumbup:
