• 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.

    Anyone have a Cardo Scala Q1 or Q3 ?

    Does anyone have a Scala Rider Q1 or Q3 (working or not) lying around they no longer use? I need one for some internal parts for a project I am working on so the condition is not important. All I need is the main head unit pictured. Please contact me. Thanks

    Low Speed / RPM Miss?

    Friends 2008 RS SE5 has a low speed / rpm miss (up to 3500 rpm) then it clears up and runs fine. We are thinking coil pack, spark plug or wires. Any other thoughts? Are the spark plugs and coil packs hard to get to? Thanks.

    Laser Alignment Question

    Laser Alignment I watched and spoke with the techs at Spyderfest doing laser alignments. Laser alignment only adjusts toe-in and it looks to me to be a lot of room for error given a portable setup etc. I had mine done at that time, no noticeable difference I can see or feel. Unfortunately...

    Front Sprocket issues

    Billy..not sure about the flats on that shaft, may have never had them or the photo might not show them well. The softer pulley could not have caused that much damage to the hardened shaft. Take a look at my link...

    Front Sprocket issues

    Having just gone through this 2 weeks ago on a friends 2008 GS SE5, I have to disagree..the splines on the shaft look fine, it's a hardened shaft, the sprocket is pot metal and much softer material. If the spline (main) shaft needs to be replaced it's all over for a 2008 GS with 28k miles on...

    Oil level issue..

    BajaRon I'm confused. You warn against using SL rated oil on pre 2013 Spyders. My 2008 SM5 owners manual and service manual (page 90 and 91) says: Recommended Engine Oil (owners manual page 90) The same oil lubricates the engine, the gearbox and the clutch. Use BRP XP-S 5W40 synthetic oil...

    Front Sprocket issues

    I just went through this a week ago on a friends 2008 GS (see http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?79352-Remove-Front-Drive-Sprocket-HELP!!&highlight=elkk) The sprocket is designed to be softer than the shaft so I doubt your output shaft is hurt at all. The sprocket is $105 and...

    Terrible front end shimmy …….

    Check the Front Drive Sprocket I just went through this with a friends 2008 RS and found the front drive sprocket was loose causing front-end shimmy between 20 and 30 mph. The whole bike shook at certain speeds. Hopefully not your problem but certainly worth checking to be sure it is tight...

    Saggy suspension?

    Based on the photo you posted above I would have expected the bubble to have been way out of the center mark. Did you make adjustments yourself?

    Best STOCK Suspension Setup 2008 GS / RS

    I have a new to me 2008 GS/RS with only 5000 original miles. I am wondering what most experienced riders have the suspension set for the best overall rideand handling. Seems like I read here something like 'set front shocks to stiffest (5) and rear shock to softess' and your good to go. I...
