• 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.

The Gust of Wind Effect.

I am generally very pleased with the updates done in connection with the recall. However since the fuel remapping, I have what I call the "gust of wind" effect. It feels like a gust of wind hit the front of the Spyder (head wind). The first time it happened I really thought it was the wind. I said to myself the wind must be coming up, but then I noticed the leaves on the trees were not moving. It gives a very, very slight hesitation. It is not discernible on the speedometer, or the tachometer, and it is of short duration. It only occurs when the throttle position is absolutely constant. I am sure it is in the fuel delivery. I haven't been able to pin down the exact conditions under which it occurs. It may occur a couple of times, and then it may not come again for maybe an hour or two. It is a mystery.

The JB has a setting for 'cruising'...the bike might be a little lean after the update...you might be able to adjust this out....if you so wish....
 
Sounds like "throttle surge". Sign of a marginally lean condition. Common malady on "smog" motors. PITA

I had a little of what you described after the software update; but was able to tweak it out with the JB. Runs fine now.:f_spider:

Perfect....that's what I thought would take care of it...I'll have to see after I get the update done in a couple of weeks...will tweak the JB from there...
