• 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.

    My wrench list - what do I need for front brake & wheel removal?

    "The most important thing I carry is a AAA card with the highest level of membership." I believe the AAA catd would be a better choice of tool for you. Along with that, I suggest a fully loaded ATM card. Of all the tire and wheel problems that could occur on the road, you'd have to have a...

    Has anyone tried an Automotive glass pack muffler on their RT?

    "It couldn't look any worse than the OEM muffler." Right on Metalman! I took a 2Bros muffler and revamped it into a glasspack with a full-length can opener style baffle and got a better sound to my liking. Also lost a lot of extra weight. I like that slight overlap sound when shifting up in...

    2012 Spyder Back in the race!

    The service tech, AKA a spyder mechanic, who worked for the dealership where I bought my Spyder broke out on his own and now has his own shop. He works on almost anything if he can get parts, 10 years old or older. He did tell me, though, that he will not install any aftermarket parts. He will...

    2012 Spyder Back in the race!

    If older Spyders had health insurance, as their older riders do, this thing absolutely wouldn't happen. Just imagine getting letters, emails, and advertisements to bring in your Spyder for anything that does or doesn't ail it?

    Has anyone tried this Cat-back muffler?

    All you are going to get from this system is a different sound and a lighter pocketbook. If you're searching for performance, invest in a stage II. I should know because I've done all that, and so have many others. Honestly, I think you'll get the same answer from anyone with experience in both...

    Newbie needing advice on adjusting the drive belt alignment - anyone?

    Try counterclockwise. Spin the tire by hand. You should see the results right away.

    Any advice on adjusting toe on the front wheels? Is the job doable without BUDS?

    I have another machine that uses the same kind of belt. If I lose one or two teeth, it never lets you know it. But lose more, and you'll know it immediately. You'll find yourself dead in the water, so to speak. I don't know of any other way to prevent that other than a visual check, and that...

    Any advice on adjusting toe on the front wheels? Is the job doable without BUDS?

    Yep, align your belt on the sprocket, then align the front. Keep in mind that the rear tire will be replaced several times before you ever replace that belt. Unless, of course, you did as I did and stuck a rock through your belt. If your belt is badly misaligned, you may well smell it long...

    Blackstone Results for Amsoil 5W40 Metric Oil in my 2022 RT S2S

    Years ago, in my Harley days, I had time and desire to research oil(s). I was changing out to gear-operated cams, and one gear had the pin mark right between the tooth and the valley. So which way do it go? I don't know. So I called the supplier. Very nice guy, and he said, "Yes, I've had that...

    Blackstone Results for Amsoil 5W40 Metric Oil in my 2022 RT S2S

    Using the same oil as you and have been changing at 10K with good analysis results. Think I'm going to try 12K next change and see what the analysis says.

    Any advice on adjusting toe on the front wheels? Is the job doable without BUDS?

    I had Joe and Ann, who owned Squared Away, align my spyder years ago. It came from the dealer with (if I recall correctly) a right front wheel 2 1/4" out of alignment. They showed me their findings and why my tire was wearing more than the other one. Many dealers don't do alignments during...

    Any useful comments or suggestions to help reduce back pain while riding 2023 F3-T - Short Reach Handlebars maybe?

    Years ago, and not with a Spyder, I had back issues with my new 650 Kawasaki. A friend of mine lent me a high-rise elastic back support with two vertical metal supports. I used it for a couple of months, and all my back issues went away, and I didn't need the support any longer. Why? Not really...

    Anyone have any audio of an RLS Cat delete with a Shark rumble?

    You're NEVER going to EVER reproduce that Harley Evo rumble from anything other than a Harley Evo. Never!
