I have a Spyder F3S with only 6500 miles on the clock and the brakes are rubbing and I can hear them at low speeds, a light squeal. The pads look fine however. Are there any adjustments I can do to remedy this problem. I would prefer not to take it in to BRP and start paying $130/hr. Thanks for any help/ideas/suggestions on this topic! Jason

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.

What year? Take the pads out and clean the calipers and pad pins. Lube the pins and reassemble.

Exactly why Flamewinger said plus
-- completely flush your brake fluid. If you have any fluid left from a fresh 16oz bottle of DOT4, then you didn't flush your brakes completely. SpeedBleeders or Goodridge equivalent recommended as well as a helper to push the brake pedal
-- lightly clean the pad surface with a 200grit or higher aluminum oxide or similar paper. Rinse thoroughly with spray brake cleaner afterwards.
-- using a cotton cloth towel or similar shop rag wetted with brake cleaner, wipe the brake rotors repeatedly until the towel doesn't show brake dust residue. You may be tempted to just spray the rotors -- be careful with overspray as the cleaner damages many rubber parts as well as paint.
