• 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.

    "Canyon" Belt squeaking, having difficulties with adjustment - any ideas? What am I missing?

    The Canyon has that lower drive belt idler roller which I suspect had to be installed to keep the belt somewhat in tension throughout the 10" of wheel travel? That main thing I'm concerned about is this alignment issue. I would sure hate to get stuck with a defective frame or swing arm IF there...

    "Canyon" Belt squeaking, having difficulties with adjustment - any ideas? What am I missing?

    The left adjuster absolutely has more control over tension than the right side. The thought crossed my mind to add a little dry WS2 spray to the belt thinking dirt/abrasives wouldn't stick to it.

    "Canyon" Belt squeaking, having difficulties with adjustment - any ideas? What am I missing?

    I only included what it does in reverse because that manual called out for it. I agree that it doesn't matter much since we only travel a few feet in reverse and 1000's of miles forward. I was mainly using reverse as confirm that whatever is happening forward is exactly opposite in reverse...

    "Canyon" Belt squeaking, having difficulties with adjustment - any ideas? What am I missing?

    Last trip, my wife complained about a squeaking noise while on the throttle. My thought was possible alternator shaft... but RPM, power steering use, and the Aux lights on/off made no difference in the noise. It also doesn't make the chirp at idle after starting that the RT did after the LiFEpo4...

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

    Yep, the LiFePO4 battery's lower impedence loaded it down for sure right after a start. With that in mind, why does it not show up on the Canyon when turning the bars not moving and the power steering electrical load actually pulls the idle speed down? Aux lights on double high beam for another...

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

    Not that this info changes the discussion on the slipping alternator shaft clutches, but group IV is actually a PAO while group V is the Ester............ My wife complained this past weekend about a high pitched squeaking on the Canyon only while on the throttle? I can hardly hear it, but it...

    Amsoil package change for their 10W40 Metric Motorcycle Oil

    They have changed the name/packaging for the MCF part number at least 3 times over the past 25 years and who knows how many times the actual formulation has been changed/improved? When I signed up as a dealer there were only 2 motorcycle/powersports oils. MCF 10W40 and MCV 20W50. Now we have 13...

    Does this Belt Tensioner Idler Stabilizer Roller look familiar? Are any parts (Rollers) interchangeable??

    The result is most people not fishing! Everyone either pays through the nose for the tuna you do actually catch; does without the tuna; or settles for eating just the head?

    Canyon Carving on a Canyon

    Perfect comparison in describing the different 3 wheeled models in comparison to 4 wheeled vehicles! This is exactly what to told my wife to expect when making the change from our modified RT to the Canyon. We wanted to participate in getting her to unpaved destinations and the tradeoff was...

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

    If I were out of warranty, I would definitely extend the drain interval according to UOA. I've gone over 70k miles on the Amsoil in my Peterbilt that was also equipped with a centrifuge filter with good results. You can actually watch the condition of your oil change more rapidly as the tuneup...

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

    Something else to keep in mind is the more viscosity improver that is used to create the wide spread in viscocity, the faster the oil will usually sheer. All other things being equal, 0W50 will sheer faster than a 20w50 for example. Use what oil viscosity your operating temps dictate and adjust...

    2020+ Suspension F3 vs. RT

    We picked the RT for the seating position and higher ground clearance for traveling the rougher back roads. I figured we would just be upgrading the suspension anyway and could get the performance of the F3 with a modified RT with more storage and comfort.

    Adding a FOBO sensor to the Air Shock if you already have an existing Profile

    Or skip all that expense and get a standalone device like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYPFBGNF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

    The 'Full Synthetic' Myth Exposed

    As with most things, it would be nice to really know what you are buying because it's marked on the bottle? Why does everything have to be about misrepresentation/deception for profit? Just tell us type lll, lV, or V so we can make a educated decision? Generally you can tell by the price, but...
