• 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.

    Replacement Sport Rack Pads

    Just wanted to let those that have the sport rack, that you can buy the material at Michaels Arts and Crafts or probably any craft store. I had my sport rack repainted so they had to be removed - just soak in laquer thinner and use a plastic scraper to remove the old pads and save for template...

    If your Spyder is currently in the shop for more than 2 weeks post here

    Well my dealer finally received my new DPS unit after a 3 week wait on backordered DPS. Took the Spyder in on Saturday afternoon - Picked back up Monday at noon. I had ALL the body work off so I am sure this saved a few hours and made life easier for the techs.

    FUNNY STORY!

    I had a Harley guy pull up next to me at a traffic light in Indy during the MotoGP races last year - he asked me if I could do wheelies with it - I said I dont know- Ill take off and you tell me at the next light. Needless to say - smoked the tire thru 2nd gear to the next light. I asked "so did...

    Problem after changing rear tire

    Did you get a chance to check the black cushions INSIDE the wheel hub? Just a thought that they could probably be missing/misaligned/dried out? Does rear sprocket have any play in it with or without belt on?

    Installed new brakes - HOT!

    My $0.02 worth You may want to also check the parking brake cable at the caliper if the rear brake is hot and or dragging. There are 2 holes that the cable can be mounted to and if its the wrong one it keeps parking brake activated. I wont say how I know this :gaah: but I had a really pretty...

    NE Georgia Service?

    Service I have found that the dealer in Lawrenceville seems to really have their stuff together as far as the techs go. Shop Manager OWNS a Spyder so he knows all about them and he works on them as well. I think its also a Polaris/Suzuki dealer I cant recommend Gainesville Motorsports - too...

    What the hell did they do to my Spyder

    Just a thought - do you have someone you could try switching clusters with? Im in Kissimme - near Forrest - I can swap it out in about 5 minutes if you want to go that route - may be worth a shot to try and pinpoint if it is the cluster. But I will need MY good cluster back :roflblack:
