• 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 harm but it was sloppy workmanship on the part of the installing dealer and looks bad. Also makes checking air pressure more difficult. I would take it back and ask them to do it right.
 
Have to agree..!!

:agree: I recently changed my tire and the shop manual clearly indictes to line them up. This takes a few tries because there is no guide hole so you have to turn and place it till you find the correct position. The air valve is probably the reason...:thumbup:
 
Odd the bolt-pattern didn't line-up. Faulty wheel during drilling? Get a replacement, though honestly it might actually improve stability with the weights staggered evenly like that. Take it back and fuss.
 
The lad has offered to fix it next time it's in as I am waiting on a gasket for the exhaust coming from the States so will be here in the next week or so.Problem is no ones worked on Spyders over here so I am just lucky I have a couple mechanics in town that are willing to give it a go for me :) I checked my manual and it looks as though there are 5 ways you could put the sprocket back on but other than looks and maybe the air valve I can't see that it would do any real harm but I will get it put right anyways :) Thanks for your help lads ;)

Try this..!!

go online and get a green manual on ebay so you and the fellow helping has all the steps for working on your roadster. They are fairly cheap about $20.00. They cover all work you may ever have to with all the spec's torques etc. Glad you have someone willing to work on your ryde..:2thumbs:
 
Green manual?? I have a manual on a disc which I gave to the lad but he did say it wasn't much help :)

Test ride today around 120 mls no problems and a smoother ride with the car tyre on the back so well happy.£125 to get tyre fitted,tail tidy bought and fitted and parking brake adjusted so not too bad I reckon :)

if you look in the shop manual...EVERY pic has the spokes lined up...but IMO "Idiot" mechanics don't line them up. mechanically, it doesn't hurt anything. astatically, it makes it look ugly!
