• 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.

are you supposed to leave the rear wheel on the ground when you adjust with the new spec?
thank you in advance.

Don't quote me on this but I think my dealer did...they have an instrument that measures the vibration to determine the tension...I think I recall the back tire was on the ground when they did this...

If they left the wheel on the ground when they adjusted it, and did not make allowances, the belt is probably too loose. BTW, it is difficult to adjust the belt properly in the shop without jacking the Spyder up, since you can't easily rotate the wheel to check in three places, so I suspect your dealer did it right.
