• 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.

    I've finished the subframe for holding the plastic side parts and most importantly, the oil cooler and radiator. I have a small shop nearby which powder coats rims and they've been able to fit my frame into their oven, so they powder coated some stuff for me. I've resized images to 800x600 but...

    It is frustrating quite often when thing go wrong, many times multiple things in a row. But it makes me happy when I read such kind words :). When I sometimes question this whole project, small things like that allow me to keep going. So, back to the topic :). I've made some calls to spring...

    I've made measurement with new bar with test 1 and it's not as good as I was expecting originally but in line with test 2. Basically it will be around 30% stiffer than original, but still far from 100%. I will try to look for 15mm and 16mm bars online. For bending I've used hydraulic tube...

    I've made some tests on a standard sway bar. I've checked how much it rotates on its own axis when 10kg is applied at the end. Red square indicates the part which is held by the vice. Green indicates steel plates which are holding the sway bar where the blue lines are. Thicker green line...

    After couple of rides, I've decided to stiffen the front end a little bit. Fox suspension is great, and I wouldn't like to change how it behaves on uneven roads, but there is too much swinging from left to right during normal riding, and especially on long turns. My wife hates it when the Spyder...

    Don't forget there is separate sensor for turn angle below DPS - its message id is 0x0C3. I would assume this is used to sense when steering is straight again. You could always disconnect DPS for a moment and check if cancellation still happpens. Unfortunately I will be away for a week because...

    If Delrin is POM than it's a very good material, way better than PA. There are some variations of POM, some with better greasing capabilities, but overall, it's very good. Very nice to work with (lathe/milling machine) and very tough. Looking at shore parameters it's similar to harder...

    Seeing how this could help someone makes me very happpy :). If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'm not C++ programmer either :). Normally I work on Microsoft erp software - something completely different than microcontrollers, and there is working debugger there. With arduino/teensy...

    Thanks :). I hope this kind of information will help people with their struggle with fixing things, and maybe encourage new to analyze how things work. There is so much electronics everywhere and quite often no way of fixing it - this drives me crazy. So I'm trying to prove to myself, and a bit...

    Next step is to finish tube subframe to hold both oil and cooler radiator. It's partly finished but still needs some work to do to hold plastic parts and then zinc plating. Final thing will be hand brake lever. Braking with feet is so strange. I have another smaller three-wheeler with hand and...

    With information above I've succesfully finished my first trip yesterday without any errors and in fact without ABS, DPS and with my own LCD in cluster -> no limp mode off course :D. Without nanny this is a drift beast. TBH it's better for drifting than normal riding. For uneven roads it's...

    I've been busy with another project for some time, but fortunately I've had free 2 weeks to analyze all can bus communication with my software which makes Man in the middle attack on bus communication. With that these are the results for older RT: message...

    More than a year have passed since my last post. I haven't got time to do anything with spyder during my absence, I've had another big failure though. During winter in -20* C I went for a ride and my cluster stopped working. After checking electronic components and UART debug channel I've...

    So, winter has ended and finally it started to get warmer here where I live. I didn't touch the issue regarding programming the bypass for ABS. This topic is a little bit bigger because of modifications in braking system. I'm planning to have front brake lever on handlebar and both brakes...

    I've been hunting for front panels for some time, and winter is almost over in Poland. Once it will be more than 8*C I will continue my work. For now small update. I've bought used front trunk and seal was missing. I've bought universal EPDM seal called "Edge Trim Profile with Top Seal". Around...
