• 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.

It will cost me $1500 - don't make the same mistake

The steering force path through the DPS is all mechanical. The steering assist motor sits outside of the steering forces path. I think you stand a chance of creating more damage to the DPS motor and steering torque sensor by the heavy turning torque while pushing the bike by the handlebar with the ignition turned on. With no power to the DPS the assist motor is free to turn with almost no resistance.

Here's a video showing the internals of the DPS. The first minute is not relevant. The video is of a DPS for an M3 off road but I see no reason why the Spyder one wouldn't the same other than size.
