• 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.

First gear low speed noise

I have very little cycling experience so if this seems elementary to you guys, I apologize. I haven't very many miles on my Spyder, just less than 100 miles and when I am in first gear, usually going through the parking lot where I live or similar situation, I hear a low grinding noise. It is an undulating noise. I am not using any throttle. Do any of you experience this? I ride an 2009 SE5.:helpsmilie:

it's probably gears howling. i have se5 and had/have same problem. it did get less and less as i put miles on. it rarely happens these days (16000m)
brp calls it "normal" i do not if it is but eventually it did go away for the most part

If you would also describe it as a low growl, mine does this too with 15,000 miles on it. Had from the get go. Mine's not a grinding noise. I think its the belt tension.
