• 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.

    GS belt replacement

    I posted on the F3 page, because as soon as I ordered my F3T, my Spyder blew her belt. Literally. :shemademe_smilie: Any suggestions and/or hints about the replacing the drive belt? Tips that will save me some brain cells? I've got a wrench friend who will help me, but he's not familiar with...

    Other rubber? Speaking of which - since I had a valve cover gasket and a drive belt self destruct, I'm going to assume that the rubber bits on my GS are compromised. What else should I check for wear that may be an issue. Tires are good :). Thanks!

    Haha! She was there when I ordered the new one. I didn't think she heard, but you know how sneaky they are! :hun: Actually I'm glad this happened before I sold it - I really don't want the next person to have to deal with this stuff right after purchase. And, I get to learn how to replace the...

    Aaaaand decides she's going to shred her belt. :banghead: Honestly, I think I felt it coming, but didn't recognize it. A subtle miss, a tap that felt like someone tapping on my leg... On the way home from the dealer after getting valve cover gasket replaced, she blew her belt. I limped home and...

    I decided on the "go big or go home" theory. I bought the 2016 F3 Limited, special edition. Triple black. Oh my! So, then my current Spyder has decided she's really pissed at me - blew up her drive belt! Could have been a rock, or just tired rubber. So I have a NEW project this week now...

    My BF rides a BMW GS800. I've had my Spyder '09 GS SE5 for almost 4 years, and it was the right Spyder to buy to see if I'd ride. I do. Alot. But also have been paying the price in pain. If I didn't do the multiple day big rides, this bike would be fine. Fun for a day in Rocky Mtn. National...

    Nice ride! I'm looking at the LTD Special Edition, so it comes with the floorboards - which I think I will like very much. My dealer is letting me take a 2 to 3 hour test ride while they do some work on my GS, so I'll get a good sense of how it fits on roads I know and love! Thanks for the...

    Great advice! Thanks :) When I had horses, the longer leg position also felt better for extended rides, so that all makes perfect sense.

    I'll be getting the rider and passenger backrests. I found on my GS that they make great support for all the crap I have to bring with me when I travel, since we tend to camp more than a little bit. For my ride on Thursday I'm going to ask them to take the time to adjust for me, so I get a...

    I LOVELOVELOVE the look of the Indian. If I decided to go to 2, that's the bike I'd want. That being said, I think for this lifetime I'm a Spyder kinda gal. I'm looking forward to my long test ride on Thursday.:clap: I'll get to ride on some of my favorite local twisty's to see how she feels...
