• 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.

Occasionally hearing some minor squeeks to brakes when applied as I first get out of driveway, but not heard after I have the bike at speed for street or highway. No change noticed in braking capability. Bike has about 3000 miles on it. More experienced ryders: annoyance to be ignored or warranty checkup time?
 
Common...

As already mentioned... UNFORTUNATELY this is common.
I've owned 3 Spyders (2-2008 RS's and 1-2012 RT-LTD) and they all squeak.
I would have hoped they would have it solved by now but NOT!!!!!:(
 
My best uneducated guess is that the pins that hold the pads in place get pretty gunked-up over time. Then the pads just can't move freely enough to get fully off of the rotors... :shocked:
Why not try dropping the rear caliper loose; pop the pins out and clean them up real well... See if that makes a difference.
Good Luck! :thumbup:
 
Spray away noise

Pads exposed to all kinds of elements. If it gets to bad, I just give a quick spray of brake cleaner, and all is good.
 
It's getting on into fall, maybe mice are building a winter home in your spyder Congrats, you're going to be a daddy!:yes::yes::ohyea::clap::roflblack:
