• 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.

    F3 S R Shock Advice

    When I suggested that he check with them about the annual rebuild, I was remembering this thread: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?80248-ELKA-problem&highlight=elka+leaking

    F3 S R Shock Advice

    If you go Elka I would check with them about warranty. They used to only warranty their shocks if they were removed and shipped back to be rebuilt every year. If you don't do that and they start leaking, you are out of coverage. Not sure about Fox. I went to the occasional 2 up shock and it is...

    The end of Chuck.

    Good answer, Peter! Another factor if you are running aftermarket tires on a Spyder to consider is that the manufacturer's recommended tire pressures are based upon a great deal more weight than the Spyder has, so running a slightly lower pressure should improve the gripping and water...

    BRP BELT TENSIONER

    About a year ago we started tackling that problem. All the 998's have the outer ribbed belt. What we came up with is a roller that has been milled to resemble and old style wooden thread thimble. We then load a total of 12 O rings; 10 of a smaller diameter and two larger in the center. We have...

    BRP BELT TENSIONER

    Mark, the BRP unit has very little adjustment area. Just within the holes, which are slightly larger than the bolts. Since not every belt is going to be exactly aligned the same, we added slots to our brackets so they can be finer tuned to be trued with the belt in the position it was in. We...

    BRP BELT TENSIONER

    This is the video that I took from the Maggie Valley one. Also, earlier that day a ryder came in that had a ruined belt from the BRP unit's roller falling off. You will hear no sour grapes from me. I would like everyone to experience how much smoother their byke is on the highway. That way...

    Glad you are still kicking, Buddy! Get yourself healed and take things one day at a time. I'm pretty sure if you can eventually swing that leg over the saddle, you will get back on. Just take it slow. Measure progress in small increments. A journal, either written or voice might be a good idea...

    New F3 S in the Driveway!

    Congrats on the new "S". Love the power band also. Had to replace the rear shock, too. I'm a bit North of your weight, so mine was really bad! 19/K with not one issue.

    Over run feeling

    I think I would try increasing the tension 20 lbs. 160 may be too low in your case.

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    You know they can speculate on what caused that all they want. Since it is a solid joint with no movement, how would loctite have any effect either way? I think that if I have one fail I will RTV it inside and out. If nothing else it should keep the material dry and more intact.

    Bad Day For Big Red (Update 1)

    I suspected that was the cause. Typical. Once it's replaced you should occasionally look for the red rust on the surface. If you go into the F3 section, you will find a monster amount of data (15 plus pages worth) that I started after Maggie Valley.... Don't worry about being covered. You are...

    Could this be adapted to the Spyders???

    Swamp cooler. Hum, wonder how slow you would have to ryde for it to work???

    Bad Day For Big Red (Update 1)

    The one that I was personally involved in that failed last year the sprocket was stationary and the shaft bolt spun since the inner splines on the sprockets were gone. Be interesting what you find. Also, was there any red rust on the sprocket when you checked it? That is a sure inner sprocket...

    Bad Day For Big Red (Update 1)

    The OP was talking about his sprocket, not the belt. I've seen belts schred. Was talking about the outer ribs of the sprocket. I'm betting that it is actually the inner splines... He says, "teeth on the front sprocket". Guess it could have shredded the belt.....
