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.

That is also par for the course with all Spyders. They (Spyders/Rykers) are touchy when it comes to oil checks and fills.
:welcome: and :congrats: on your Ryker. :yes:

I wish all bikes, would just simply go back to the sight glass. Yes, my spyder is a pain to check as well, but the worst bike that I have ever owned to check the oil in is the Suzuki Boulevard M109. You must let the bike run for exactly 15 minutes, then shut it off and let it sit for 3 minutes. Then it must be held completely vertical for a good reading. Even after all that, the oil would possibly be off. I found it easier to drain the oil completely and add 4 quarts and pray for the best. If you were any over the recommended amount, it would be blown back through the air filters, and spread down the left side of the engine. A real pain.

The big reason for having to follow the BRP instructions precisely is because after a dry sump engine has been shut off past the maximim time stated by BRP some of the oil returned to the tank by the scavenge pumps during the specified idle time begins to seep back into the bottom of the crankcase. Therefore a sight glass would have to be on the side of the oil tank and would still have to be read within the time specified by BRP.
