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.

Very glad to hear you have a good dealer that you can rely on. That seems to be more than half the battle. :thumbup:
My wife bought the 12 volt power outlet for her Spyder, but was not sure what it took to put it on while waiting on the instructions to arrive. One dealer told her she would probably have to find some 12 volt wire in order to connect it. I called a different dealer asking them about being able to install it, in case it wasn't going to be as straightforward as I thought it would be, and he asked me where I bought the Spyder. The dealer I bought the Spyder from is no longer in business, should that make a difference? Anyway, we just installed it ourselves this evening and it was no big deal at all. Probably saved another $80 in labor.

Delayed shifting
OK My Spyder is back at the dealer again for the Centrifugal Clutch
I took it in for what I thought was a delayed shift.
My dealer test rode the Spyder said It was not a software download, but the Clutch hanging up & causing the delay, (The delay was a slipping clutch)
My dealer, (I am happy to have such a Great Dealer) said it was three weight/bearings that were changed out for the newer ones.
The weights I had, have a bushing in the center, the bushing seem to cause more friction.
My Dealer replaced the weights with the new ones that have roller bearings.
Let me describe the difference, because it is like Night & Day
Before:
From a Stop: It takes a lot of throttle movement to get away from a stop, felt like clutch was slipping most of the time away from a stop. I had to give more than 1/2 throttle just to get away from a stop
Shifting: Clutch was slipping really bad and made it feel like a delayed shift
After:
From a Stop: It takes very little throttle movement to get away from a stop, and throttle feel much more responsive. Now I have to give it very little to get away from a stop
Shifting: Very quick, positive shift, after shift bike just moves no slip
Since it is not slipping so much, I may get better gas mileage (more than 120 miles to a tank of gas)
All I can say is WOW!! WOW!!! WOW!!!
This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
much better.
I want to thank my dealer, Water World for doing such a great job, getting my Spyder 1st working correctly, & 2nd getting it done so fast.
