• 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.

    Random thought for the day

    I could be their CEO. 🤣 🤣 🤣

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Very good description of the brake bedding procedure. The first few heat cycles will impact the performance of those pads for their entire life.

    This was Too Close to an 'accident'!

    I guess I'm in the minority, but it looks like you cut him off. :eek: He was already catching up to you, and moving into the passing lane, before you moved into his lane. No matter how fast you think you are, keep in mind that someone else could be faster.

    Does anyone have actual experience with Mighty Max batteries?

    I have 3 Mighty Max batteries. One is on a trailer as the breakaway battery, and the others are a 50ah and a 100ah powering UPS's, one for my network, and the other for my CPAP and phone chargers on my nightstand. All were bought in 2019 and 2020, and both of the larger ones are still working fine.

    That problem will sort itself out once they're in the water for a few minutes. :eek: 💀🤣

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Something is causing this. Some possibilities are: 1: Improper torquing of wheel lugs. 2: Improper torquing of brake rotor. 3: Debris or corrosion between rotor and hub, or between wheel and hub. 4: Improper caliper alignment causing pad dragging the rotor. 5: Stuck piston or caliper slide pin...

    Warped discs should not require pad replacement. It's actually best to bed in new discs with used pads, and new pads on a used disc.

    Does it matter which way an Asymmetrical tire is installed on the rear of a Spyder?

    An assymetrical tire is mounted the same side out regardless of side. They roll opposite depending on which side of the car they're mounted on. If your tire has arrows on the sidewalls, one will point one way and the other the opposite.

    Does it matter which way an Asymmetrical tire is installed on the rear of a Spyder?

    I guess if it fits it'll work. I just don't like the taller aspect ratio and narrower section width. Once I tuned it, this thing is really under-tired on the rear. Quick throttle opening in the lower gears will just spin the tire. I'm installing a Kumho Ecsta in the original size. The tread...

    Does it matter which way an Asymmetrical tire is installed on the rear of a Spyder?

    Doesn't look like that's available in the correct size.

    Does it matter which way an Asymmetrical tire is installed on the rear of a Spyder?

    I'd never run an assymetrical tire on a Spyder, for the reasons given by BajaRon. Directional tires are fine.

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    Have you done an oil analysis? I'm running the Ultra1Plus oil now, and have about 3,000 miles on it so far. I'm planning to go to 5,000, and send in a sample to get a baseline on wear. For now, the oil still looks brand new on the dipstick. This is it's first change with this oil, so there...

    Here is the Safety Data Sheet for BRP XPS Fully Synthetic 10W-40 Engine Oil

    In my opinion the court did American consumers a HUGE DISSERVICE when they ruled in Castrol's favor, and against Mobil Oil, back in 1997. That ruling opened the door for all oil manufacturers to mislead consumers regarding their petroleum oils being "synthetic". 🤬 That's a case that needs to be...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I agree with mecsw500. 50 years ago we did 3,000 mile intervals on our cars, and I usually did 1,000 miles on my old bikes, but oil back then was conventional with far less advanced additive packages, and the air cooled engines ran drastically higher oil temps than the water cooled engines of...

    Rear tire options - any suggestions?

    I'm with you on not wanting a narrower or taller tire. Here are a couple alternatives which should stick quite a bit better...
