• 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.

Hi I received the letter from BPR for the Steering Recall today it is booked in for Wednesday, How many have received the letter.:thumbup:
 
Got mine too

Got mine today too :(
I'm a bit worried about some of the reports of Spyders running ruff after the upgrade though. Mine hasn't missed a beat since I got it.
Gotta 4hr each way ride to the dealer in Burnie.
It will give me a good reason to catch up with TrumpyBob and Pauline :thumbup:

Hi Gazey, I haven't heard yet. If you have, then mine should be in the post. Let me know when your having it done and I might come with you.

Got my letter. Did the updates. NO PROBLEMS!

See my BRP Recall thread for details.
 
No probs, I'll give Lingers a call in the morning to find out what the go is.

Andrew, Lingers called me today asking when I wanted to take it in for the update. Said I would call them. Why don't you book it in on a Saturday, and stay at my place Friday night, and we can both go in early Saturday Morning. Just a thought Let me know so I can book mine in on the same day.

Let me know how all your recalls went ,had mine done and it played up and had to be done again ,so I am interested in if you had the same problem as I did even the next day the DPS came on and I stopped the :spyder2: and waited a few minutes and the computer corrected itself,I hope it settles down

Incidental update

Hi I received the letter from BPR for the Steering Recall today it is booked in for Wednesday, How many have received the letter.:thumbup:

I got a call from Prorider advising me of the recall. I was about due for the 10000km service and I also wanted a spare spare key programmed to leave at home (since I am often many hundreds of km from home and carry my spare key with me), so I arranged to have them all done then.

I have a trip coming up and decided to get the spare key done early. I took my Spyder in to get the new key programmed, and the update was applied automatically. :hun: No choice, according to the mechanic. As soon as the computer is connected (as it has to be to program the keys), it applies the update.

I notice a small change in the steering, not scary, just a bit lighter. I think I have a few tuning hiccoughs, but I as also began experimenting with running E10 fuel on the same day, I'll have to let that run its course. Again, no major failures as I've read on the US lists, just an occasional cough, and I think the occasional whiff of petrol (so hard to tell riding in traffic).:dontknow:

I'll let you know how I'm progressing. I'm off to Wagga from Sydney on the 12th, so I'll get a good run to check the tuning and performance on E10. The 10000km service will be done the following Monday, so I'll get to see if the tuning improves (indicating that something was wrong).

Cheers;

Pogo.
 
Got mine on the 17/july and have not done it as yet as im waiting for for problems to arise before the long trip to sheperton vic. Foot brake will not hold when parked, warning light brake problem but only when going down hills then it clears its self. OH and by the way i hade Ikon shocks fitted to the :spyder2: i am so :2thumbs: good price and works a treat photos of Ikon attached. regards DarrenView attachment 3828:yes:

Parking brake is an adjustment problem. Adjust cable until it only takes a couple of clicks to set it. The warning light indicates low brake fluid. I know it looks full, but a warning on a grade is a sign that it is a teeny, tiny bit low.
 
Steering update

Had the steering update done, the spyder has run and handled better than ever, had the ground wire update for the coil on the SE5 and everything was fine for 2 wks then in one day the steering locks up in left turns. You are turning and the steering goes hard, you apply more pressure and the bike starts turning left and all of a sudden the pressure lets go and you get a quick jerk and if your reaction time is not fast, a wreck would be unavoidable,this happened 3 times in about 45 miles, have appointment with dealer monday to have electronics BUD tested.:gaah:
