• 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.

    All alarms are off...!!!

    Long time has passed... Been out and far away again for another job assignment. Spent very little time around the SE5. During this off time period the Battery Tender was connected to the batery terminals. Just started its engine, let it warm up, and went on a short trip around the...

    All alarms are off...!!!

    Did it again... Rode the RS around the neighbourhood..., and in less than 5 minutes all hell broke loose again (minus the brake failure lights / warnings), and went into limp-mode. Pulled the codes: 0 C0044 1 P2545 2 U0122 What gives...? :dontknow:

    All alarms are off...!!!

    Already tightened those connections up after finishing the brake job. Battery tender has been connected continuously while not riding the RS. Today, before cranking it up, I disconnected the Battery Tender, and checked battery voltage: 13 volts... :clap:

    All alarms are off...!!!

    Dear Ssd: Did as you instructed me and..., lo and behold...: "No active fault codes". At that moment the RS was just parked, idling, with no lights / warnings showing. I will ride it around the neighbourhood to see if the alarms / warnings show up again (including limp-home mode), and if so...

    All alarms are off...!!!

    Still the same..., minus the brakes' alarms... Changed the rear brake-pads, bled the system, topped-off the reservoirs..., all this while having the battery disconnected (both poles). The brakes' warnings (lights and messages) are now off..., but the rest (all of them) still appear, and after...

    All alarms are off...!!!

    It has been some time since I last posted in the forum. Due to work and moving from one place to another, I have not been able to ride my 2009 SE5 for a long time. Lately I have installed a new battery and kept it fine with a Battery Tender. About 10 days ago I decided to ride the Spyder, but...

    Brake systems with mineral oils...?

    Only DOT 3 is available nowadays. Many riders just do not care about the type / quality of the fluid here. Way too many small Chinese motorbikes. What about Castrol GT LMA Brake Fluid...?

    Brake systems with mineral oils...?

    I have been using regular DOT 4 fluid to refill the containers when the low levels trips the "brake failure" alarm; flashing in the dashboard. It is now almost impossible to obtain DOT 4 type in the country, so I am trying to buy from Amazon or eBay, but... Too many choices..., too little...

    Brake systems with mineral oils...?

    I wonder if I can refill the containers, or replace the original brake fluid in my 2009 SE5, using Motul's RBF 600 Racing Brake Fluid, because here in the tropics temperatures are high all year long. But the Motul's bottle indicates " Not suitable for vehicles with mineral oil systems"... I am...

    Bent lower shock-absorber mount (rear)

    Last night I rode my 2009 SE5 over a street manhole without cover in a dark area of the street (not unusual in this country...) When I saw it it, I swerved and I went over it in between the front wheels, but it was too late to avoid the rear wheel from taking the brunt hit. Needless to say, I...

    Hindle exhaust mount ?

    I have notched mine, so the clamp finally does its right job. That was so long ago that I cannot remember if I put some sort of gasket or sealant in the joint. It does backfire from time to time, but I got used to it... Hope this helps.

    The Spyder is an idiot magnet but not idiot Proof

    Here is your sign...! My 2009 SE5 has an alarm with a proximity sensor. That has not prevented people to mess with the Spyder, even when the alarm first chirps and then finally sounds because they are way too close, or the Spyder is slightly moved (vibration sensor). Once in a trip, I was in my...

    Ride-On and Wheel Balancing

    Potenzas in your Spyder...? If I understand correctly, you have installed Bridgestone Potenza replacement tires in your Spyder. If positive, could you please let me the know their specs, sizes, model, etc., etc. Where I live, it is much easier to find Bridgestone tires that Kumho, Kenda, etc...

    Flooded Spyder

    Hydrostatic lock up...? Bob, please enlighten me... What is hydrostatic lock up...? :opps: Why rods and other sundry parts could have been damaged by hydrostatic lock up...? I am guessing that the water inside the cylinders cannot be compressed, as opposed to the gasoline-air mixture...

    Flooded Spyder

    K&N filter was oiled properly, during preparations for the trip. I guess that if not thru the foam filter, then the rain-water seeped thru the hole in the KewlMetal intake cover (top), where a bolt secures the cover (and the K&N filter) with the body of the intake. I also guess that when I...
