Elements affecting the garage....:hun:

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.

I think I'm going to pull the evap canister and re-plumb the vent and overflow lines to drop out the rear of the bike. Been thinking this over for a while due to stories of heavy gas fumes from that area, and I've noticed them myself from time to time.

This didn't have anything to do with a fan switch did it? :shocked:

I had not yet done anything about the fan switch. My mods were all innocent stuff such as handlebar risers, fog lights, HID headlights, sway bar, seats, saddlebags, highway pegs, etc. There were no changes of any kind made in the right side area of the engine where the fire started. It is a total mystery to me.

This is a shocker and I hope either through your insurance company adjuster or dealer? or somebody you can find out what happened. Thank goodness you had the presence of mind to push it out of your garage before the fire got too big.
Glad you and your family are OK. Without your quick thinking it could have been such a disaster.

I just cannot get over those photos.
Quite the exciting day out here in Spyder land---- first the meltdown of a Spyder---- then the meltdown of a Spyder owner -
.
I'm really thinking the Spyder meltdown had something to do with that evap unit - but it does look like the tank was intact - which is a good thing!
Heck - I've spilled gas right on a hot engine when filling it and never started a fire - this is just wild!
