• 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.

    Riding Spyder on gravel roads???

    I was on a couple roads around here yesterday that were brutal, the corners especially. Edges of the pavement dropped down if they're even there, terrible patch jobs that are almost worse than the original road etc. You're into a nice sweeping corner, leaning just right and then brrrrrrr, you're...

    Anyone used this Lift for Spyder Storage? Any feedback on it?

    I wouldn't be worried about the studs as much as I'd be worried about the strain with the bike on it wanting to pull the wall sideways. If it had a couple of well braced legs 2-3' long coming out from the bottom, maybe, but other than that... nope!

    Spyder just quit running while riding... Is this an isolated incident?

    Wonder if it was vapour lock where it was so hot along with ethanol fuel and no air flow over the fuel system. Not really a fault of the machine in a sense.

    How many Spyder Riders have had a Hip replacement? How does it work for you?

    I resemble that remark LOL (70)

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    I've never seen the 1 quart or 1 liter bottles here either, I'll have 3.9 liters left from the pail eventually.

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    Odd, here in NS it comes in 5L jugs which is the perfect size, fills mine up to the top of the stick. Saying that, the 18.9L pail was on sale last fall so I bought a pail. Glad I did as the price went up over a $100 a pail.

    How many Spyder Riders have had a Hip replacement? How does it work for you?

    Mine wasn't an infection. The surgeon had installed the socket at the wrong angle and the ball popped out of place, twice. Think about when you pop a chicken leg - same deal. The pic before and after... I'm sure you can tell which is which! LOL.

    How many Spyder Riders have had a Hip replacement? How does it work for you?

    I've had my left hip done twice and both knees done. Only thing that affects me on a Spyder is the funky way I have to get on it, looks kinda comical, actually. LOL. Left side of bike; put left leg close to bike up close to the bars; bend way forward; and swing my right leg over the seat. No...

    Anyone else been having trouble with the FOBO Bike 2 website not working?

    Yup :-). The way I interpreted the questions, (obviously wrongly so) I was thinking that it had to send the tire info to a server then to your phone which didn't make sense to me, now it does......

    Anyone else been having trouble with the FOBO Bike 2 website not working?

    I don't think I understand this FOBO system. It uses a website to monitor your tire pressure? You have to be connected to the web in order for it to work? What's wrong with a tire pressure gauge or a traditional TPMS system if you wish to monitor it. If that's your choice, so be it but I can't...

    Malfunction of the stock direction indicator lights blinking fast - any ideas/fixes?

    Not hard to check, remove the bulb/socket assembly from the tail of the bike and wiggle the bulb with the four ways on. If you have a multimeter see if there's any juice at the plug contacts being careful not to short anything out. It'll just be a blown fuse if you do but why waste a fuse LOL.

    Any suggestions on good Ear protection for lowering wind noise?

    I've noticed that since I've got my new windshield, the foam plugs and the bone conducting headphones are the cats behind. Up to and slightly :-) past legal speeds, I can hear the tunes perfectly.

    Malfunction of the stock direction indicator lights blinking fast - any ideas/fixes?

    Mine did that last week. Buddy told me my left signal and brake light wasn't working when I turned into the restaurant, can't see the indicator in the daylight so I couldn't tell. I tried it when we came out and it worked, both brakes and whichever turn I tried. Got home and tried it again, no...

    Any suggestions on good Ear protection for lowering wind noise?

    Somewhat pertinent to the OP question. I just installed a higher windshield, made all the difference in the world as far as wind noise goes. I now use my skid lid instead of a 3/4 helmet and have a lot less noise.

    I've been Riding with two nuts! Does the wheel rotation tend to undo a lug nut if it's loose?

    I've heard that now instead of the Tide pod challenge and other assorted stupid things the latest is the lug nut challenge, maybe you're a victim?

    Need a low profile lift table recommendation

    This what I use for mine, the small vertical piece fits between the exhaust and the center spine. The block I fit under the rear tire if I'm working on the front so it doesn't tip. If I'm working on the rear, I'll use the lift and either use my ramps under the front to stabilize it or drive it...

    Taking a trip to windshield-land - what do you recommend?

    That's what I used to use but it's been quite awhile since I've gotten anything out of the US and I couldn't remember when they said UPS which one was the rip off....now I know LOL.

    Taking a trip to windshield-land - what do you recommend?

    That was my point, went from one machine to another with no intervention at all. I remember now that years ago UPS was the worst for charging outrageous fees for nothing. It's still the same apparently. Here's a screen shot of the invoice from UPS, very wierd layout as it looks like you'd add...

    Taking a trip to windshield-land - what do you recommend?

    Arrived today, approximately three weeks after ordering, not bad. Windshield, 17", light smoke with no hardware including shipping to Nova Scotia was CAN $549. I think the shipping was $104 Then... about a week ago I get the additional bill from UPS, Canadian GST which I expected was CAN $63 and...
