I've had a couple of recent instances where I've had to brake fairly hard. I noticed that when I did, the bike pulled hard to the right. Maybe it was something that I did, unconsciously, but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It certainly does stop well! I'd just hope it would stop in a straight line.

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.
Hard braking pulls right! Anyone else? Ideas?

My RTS did that after I had new brake pads installed. Once the new pads settled in, a couple of months later (I use my brakes sparingly) the pulling to the right diminished and stopped. I’d totally forgotten all about it, until you’ve mentioned it.
If it was me, I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve had it happen on my cars also. I’m not a brake man but I think your brakes just need breaking in.

I recommend at least one caucus 'Panic Stop' on a good, flat road surface where you have plenty of room and no danger where you can pay attention to what you are doing as well as the Spyder. If it is consistently pulling to one side, there are a few things to check.
I doubt a 'Warped' rotor in this case since you make no mention of vibration or pulsation of the brake peddle/wheel. It is more likely a sticking caliper on the weak side not doing its share. Check for even pad thickness.
A hard brake test or two under controlled conditions should verify that you do, in fact, have an issue. I would not let this go uncorrected, for obvious reasons.
