• 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.

Steering stem

Discovered a healthy clunk when hitting a rough part of a road where one may become airborne a bit. On two wheelers this tells me that the steering stem is loose. Not much info in the manual as to how to get at the thing ! , looks like you have to take half the machine apart. Any advice ?.........
 
Could be shock bushings, A-arm bushings.
Two wheeler the steering head is supporting the weight of the bike making it necessary to have a much bigger head and bearing.
Can Am Spyder, the front suspension, upper and lower A-Arms are supporting the weight of the bike. Much less likely to have a steering head problem. Just like you wouldn't look at your steering wheel bushings in your car if you heard a clunk, I think you should explore elsewhere in my opinion.
