We had a whining when rolling it backwards and replaced the belt...no more noise. So you might need to change the belt.

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.

Well I got the spyder back today and it looks like the previous owner did NO maintenance to it and the dealership didnt even look at it mechanically wise or the following would have been caught:
And all i paid for was the new parking brake which was 11 bucks and whatever the seals will cost me. So the dealer did me a great favor, since the dealership where i got it from didnt look over it at all.
- Did a 2010 recall for the power steering
- Had really low brake fluid
- Brakes needed to be greased and suggested to upgrade them soon since they were the original stocks and they looked like they were ridden hard
- Barley had any oil in it, wasnt even touching the dip stick. Looked like the guy ran it for 7K miles without ever doing an oil change
- Other fluids were very low, so he topped them all off
- The parking brake was completely trashed, he couldnt even adjust it to bring it back to full use so we had to order a whole new assembly.
- Has an exhaust leak and the seals need to be replaced

Replaced the parking brake with the upgraded piece and what a huge different and with the new part the teeth are rounded not squareish as the other one was. Also with the old stock one you could see where it was shaved down where they had been stomping the crap out of it for so long. Its amazing how little pressure you need to set it and release it now i would definitely suggest that for any of the old spyders with parking brake problems like I was having.

Glad to hear that your dealer has you back up and running! :thumbup:
It sure sounds like CJ did a real thorough job of inspection to the bike! :firstplace:

Whining when backing up
Big #1 Motorsports in Birmingham, AL fixed my backing up whining issue.
There are 3 places in the rear that need to be silicone greased. Fixed the
problem. Sounds great now.

Spyder brake noise
Here is the solution directly from Dennis at BRP service dept. This was copied and pasted from the Dealer Community website.
[h=1]Re: LOUD GROANING FROM REAR WHEN BACKING UP?[/h]
The groaning of the rear brakes can be reduced by chamfering the pad edges, utilisation of the new style pad with the isolator backing plate, proper parking brake adjustment and maintaining a clean caliper and brake disc surface. Isolating the tone wheel from the disc has also helped in some circumstances. Isolating the transfer of the resonance from the pads slightly contacting the disc surface, which creates a more harmonic noise is key to reducing the noise. Because of the pad material it is difficult to completely eliminate the noise and therefore can be heard on numerous units at different decibel levels depending on the condition of the disc, pads etc. How the vehicle is operated can also increase or decrease the level of noise generated. Brp is aware of the complaints by customers but in order to offer the best braking performance available in forward motion, the rearward motion howl cannot be completely eliminated without affecting braking performance.

When you loosened up your belt's tension; did you notice any changes in if it's setting up harmonic vibrations or not? :dontknow:

I noticed that is was much improved. The belt was the original 2008 specs, which is insanely tight. I used the directions in the Krikit thread and it made a major difference in shifting too. It was clearly loading up the transmission and output shaft to large degree due to the excessive pressure.
No harmonic issues at all. However, I was extremely careful to loosen the belt equally from side to side, so I didn't cock it up.
