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.

Not sure what year you have but my 2012 always clunks into first or reverse. Maybe check the front pulley to see if it's loose.

That first shift of the day N - first or N - reverse usually results in a loud clunk. Should not be as noticeable after the :spyder2: is warmed up (usually 5 or so miles).

Normal...
The fully synthetic oil might make the normal 'first gear selection clunk' sound a tad louder than it did before, but more often than not with this sort of thing, it's just because you've done something that you are now hyper aware so it just seems louder... :thumbup:
If I let it idle a minute or so the idle speed drops to 900 or 1000 and then it isn't as bad.
That's still what normally happens, so it really could just be that you 'think' it's louder initially just because you are now listening to it more critically cos you've done something.... It happens waaaay more than you might think! :thumbup:

Clunk when shifting
I hadn't really thought about the clunk on my 2010 RT when shifting. I am new to the Spyder after riding my VTX 1800s for several years. I did ask on the VTX forum about the clunk on those bikes when shifting - was told "It's normal." So, when I started riding the RT I didn't notice the clunk. Glad to know it's normal.

Uh-huh
I posted that just for you Bob! Turns out that was Mike Campbell's wife shouting that out. Early in his career Campbell was trying to record and his wife had the washing machine going. Mike asked if there was something wrong because the machine was making an awful racket. She yelled Back and it hit the recorder "It's just the normal noises in here!" He shared it with the band. Then he's driving down the road and "Even the Losers" comes on and he hears his wife to start the song!:roflblack:
