• 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.

    You've helped a lot of people in a lot of ways over a great many years. No one does it like you do. It is encouraging to know that this forum is in good hands. It always has been.

    2014 Spyder RT Ltd missing at just above an idle - any recommendations, other than spark plugs?

    We see this a fair amount. There are several things which can cause this. But most often, we find that people are lugging the engine. Coming off a low RPM V-Twin sets your ear to hate the 4,500-5,000 RPM that the Spyder is designed to run. Some will go to 6th gear at much lower RPM and then...

    Stopping a Spyder

    This changeout to the Brembo components should not affect the ABS system as it monitors wheel rotation for activation. It doesn't care at all what brake components you're using. An ambitious endeavor which most are not going to be up for. But impressive, none the less. I've never felt my 08 GS...

    Do you Need better brakes coz stock discs are twisted?

    That's impressive that you were able to warp a set of EBC rotors. Any rotor can be warped, of course. Some just require more effort. Did you go through the bedding in process? Were you torquing in at least 2 steps to the correct value? Were you, by chance, sitting stopped, applying pressure on...

    Do you Need better brakes coz stock discs are twisted?

    Old thread... Current issue. Had a customer with an F3 that went through 3 OEM rotors. Warranty covered them all. (I applaud the dealership for this level of service. Many will tell you that the rotor is considered a wear component and not covered). Anyway, with the 4th warped rotor he came to...

    When should you change your Spark Plugs?

    You underestimate your abilities. But then, you'll be just fine even if you don't understand it. You're riding. And that's all the really matters!

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    I can't really take much credit for it. But I am very glad it worked out for you! Success over even little problems is so rewarding sometimes!

    Can I change to the newer style stock wheels on 2014 RS?

    Many eBay listings have no idea what they are doing. It is unfortunate, but not uncommon. For example, take a look at this one! https://www.ebay.com/itm/168097338986

    They did! I'm not sure it got much past the prototype stage before they discontinued production. But there were some of them around several years ago. Very expensive.

    Review: The Can-Am Ryker... A Great Ride!

    The Ryker is every bit as much fun as 2 wheels. It's just different fun. The Ryker is a Blast! We loaned our Ryker to a customer who was having work done on his Spyder at the shop. He went to get lunch and came back. I asked him how he liked it. He said he hated it! A little bit shocked I asked...

    Indian is getting into the trike business.

    'Getting Into?' Indian started making trikes in 1931! Here is their modern Reverse Trike (though they are still making conventional trikes as well) They do make some beautiful machines! Though I have not ridden any.

    How do you control Rabbits (without shooting)?

    Sounds like they have legislated you into an impossible situation. But I have some alternatives for you. I asked Google AI this question. Is a laser considered a projectile weapon? Answer: No, a laser is not considered a projectile, but rather a directed-energy weapon. Unlike projectiles (e.g...

    Can I change to the newer style stock wheels on 2014 RS?

    Yes, you can't go backwards, but you can go forwards as Peter is correct. Any OEM wheel 2013 and later will fit any Spyder. I have 2017 wheels on my 2008 GS. 15" wheels give a noticeable improvement in ride and handling over the original 14" wheels which came on the 2008-2012 Spyders.
