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.

No. Substitute blue Loctite brand. That yellow stuff is a medium thread locker made by 3M. Blue Loctite is also medium.

If you are installing a good car tire on the rear it will not need to be balanced. Be sure to take off all the old wheel weights first.
I installed a General Altimax tire on mine and did not need to be balanced. I have put over 8000 miles on this tire and have not had a problem.

Balance with RIDE-ON and get puncture protection too.

There were 2 questions from OP. The locktite answer was separate from the tire balance.

Thanks .....that makes sense .......Mike :thumbup:
I use the general altimax rt 43 ( 18-22 lbs pressure) I take off the rotor for the tire guy and put the 5 bolts on with blue loctite. No balancing. Actually have it in the garage now just too tired....I did notice that my EBC semi sintered FA473V with only 4k on them are more than 1/2 worn....that's too quick as my OEM pads lasted til 16k in the rear...thoughts? 2012 RTL

You may not believe this, but I have never added any Lok-Tite to any bolt I have re-moved and then re-installed on any Spyder I have owned..... I have had every panel off dozens X's 5 over the past 12 years .... never lost a bolt or had any even loosen on there own .... I have always used Star washers on the Batt. terminals tho ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

Some people have all the luck. I usually don't get that much Luck. So I use the blue lock-tite for my own peace of mind. Different strokes for me. Thank You. .....:thumbup:

The rubber rings that the nubbins on the body panels slip into. If you push the panel in dry you might push the grommet out of the hole.
