• 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.

Fuel dripping

Should there be fuel dripping out of the vapor hose under the syder.
Happens after a short or long ride. Also get a pretty heavy smell and can see vapors coming out.

Thanks,

Many have said they have a heavy fuel smell, I aswell but I dont recall anyone having a drip or seeing vapor. Not my RT anyway.
Did you maybe over fill before this happend?
Keep us posted.:chat::ani29:
 
the vapors...

After a one hour ride this morning in 80-85º temps, I decided to pull the RT up onto a set of ramps I bought yesterday at Advanced Auto. I wanted to see how much access I had to the underside of the bike. While under there I noticed a vapor mirage settling from the area around the right footpeg. There was no dripping fuel, just vapors. They lasted several minutes, then disipated.
My thoughts were:
1. charcoal canister
2. tank vent
I don't know if the attitude of the RT on the ramps had anything to do with this or not. By the time I ran her back down the ramps, the vapors were gone.
The ramps I bought were $35 per pair and work nicely. Now all I need to do is find another Spyder owner to split a pair with so I have one for each wheel ;)

Just be glad you have a vent hose to get it out from the tupperware.
