• 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 Dealers 'dumping' New-Old-Stock Spyders instead of selling latest models?

    Too pricey to sell. Savage M/C is the big dealer, who's the other?

    Any alternatives for Discontinued Fuel Injectors for 2009 GS SM5?

    I've had success cleaning such injectors with a fuel rail, used fuel pump, tub of kero and a 9v battery. The injectors can be go into the injectors the opposite was after removing the tiny inlet filter/screen, reverse flushed, then fitted the correct way to check spray pattern. Here's a link...

    998cc 2012 RS with metal in oil and smells like gas - any ideas?

    Installing Trailer hitch - avoiding obstruction in axle housing?

    Peter said: Last I looked, Freddy, the Classic Towbars mob who used to make a/mkt hitches here in SA have gone out of business, so unless you know of/can find any others selling a/mkt, your friend'll probably either need to source a 2nd hand hitch; or buy OEM! I see Lamonster Garage has them...

    Installing Trailer hitch - avoiding obstruction in axle housing?

    Hitch availability in Australia? Martin in Qld has no stock of tow hitches for 2019 F3. Where else can one be purchased? Asking for a friend.

    You knew it had to come - there's a Chinese Spyder!

    That's what everybody said about the F3.

    998cc How hard is it to change the Shift Shaft Rod?

    I've not replaced one on a spyder but have on a newer Triumph, which allows access with a side cover removed. What wrong with yours?

    At what point does the cooling fan come on wrt temp gauge?

    Mine has never been above 5 bars either as the fan comes on before it gets any hotter, tho not immediately the 5th bar shows.

    Looking for a technique to get to the rear tires valve stem - anyone?

    The rear pulley can fit to the wheel in 5 positions. Only 1 position gives (the factory position) gives 'easier' access to the valve stem. I've noticed on other 2 or 3 other Spyders in my area that the sprocket has been incorrectly positioned at tyre change time. I also fit a 2" stem to the...

    Do you think we'll see Spyders with DCT soon?

    OFF TOPIC. Peter, are you confusing AMT with DCT? Sure, the newer big Volvos have a second clutch pack on their AMT, to speedup gear changes but l don't believe it's regarded as a DCT. What say you?

    Does this heat shield kit for GS/RS make a difference?

    The 'missing heat shield' will help keep heat from the rad off your leg. The 'missing air dam' helps more air to flow thru the radiator, which is a good thing. I made my own soon after getting my GS.

    622 Trailer wheel hub seal - anyone have the generic part no?

    If it's the cup (inner race) that you're referring to - a solid drift (punch) and a medium sized hammer, working your way around it but at 6 & 12 o'clock positions as your tap it out. Or have you done it already?

    Belt cover/guard: needed or not?

    No need for an inner belt guard until you need one. Caused by a pebble from R wheel getting stuck in the pulley - 2 week old trike.
