• 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 JUST BOUGHT MY SPYDER AND I HAD MY SELLING DEALER INSTALL PHANTOM WHEELS AT MY FIRST SERVICE, WHEN I GOT THE BIKE BACK I HAD A VIBRATION, FELT LIKE TIRE/WHEEL, TOOK IT BACK THEY SAY THEY BALANCED THE TIRES BUT I STILL HAVE THIS VIBRATION AROUND 60MPH, IT ALMOST RESONATES THROUGH THE SEAT. I HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR BUSINESS 15 YEARS AND THIS ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE BELT TENSION IS WRONG OR THERE IS A DRIVELINE ISSUE?? ANY SUGGESTIONS??

welcome
No need to YELL we can hear you!;)
Did you buy new or used?
There is a service bulletin for belt tension but don't think it applies to new Spyders...:dontknow:
 
Mine is a 2009, I did buy it brand new, it has 500 miles on it, did that bulletin mention a vibration, I noticed the belt is not centered either, it looks like it is more to the right than it should be. The vibration is only at a coast acceleration, if I am accelerating hard and go past 60 you cant feel it.

Spec on the belt is not in the sprocket center. It should be 1-5 mm off the flange.
