• 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.

trunk removal

Best method is in the service manual (which I have found invaluable). Has pics and tricks, too.
 
Hi
From http://www.spyderryders.net.au/tips.html

To remove the Spyders nose.
You may have need to remove the front luggage compartment to replace the sway bar, suspension or fit correctlly the temperature sensor that most seem to be missing.
step 1. open the front storage compartment cover. remove the service cover (black plastic cover accross the top, just pulls off) and unplug the diagnostic connector.


step 2. remove the two upper side panels using a torx t-30 wrench.


step 3. remove the front panels by releasing the three plastic rivets on each side (two on top, one on the bottom).


step 4. unplug the horn (left side) & temperature sensor (right side) THOUGH THIS MAY NOT BE FITTED . Release the harnesses from the clips on the storage compartment. , also unplug the headlight harness from the bulbs. Disconnect the trunk release cable (it just clips off)


step 5. using a 10mm socket, remove the four upper bolts attaching the front compartment to the frame. Be careful when you refit these as I think I tightened one too much and stripped the hole .


step 6. using a 10mm socket, remove the two lower bolts (underneath the bike) attaching the front compartment to the frame.


step 7. lift the storage compartment off the front of the bike. note: if you have a 12v socket installed, unplug the harness while removing the storage compartment.


To refit reverse the above (don't forget the power outlet cables or you will have to remove it again- ask me how I know!!)


Thanks also to Ken Zeller for the routine.
Martin
