• 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.

    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...

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

    There ya go... a system capable of 90A shouldn't be slipping to charge a 7AH battery regardless of how discharged the tiny battery is? Surely the power steering draws much more! See what happens in the coming months on this. At least "maybe" they have acknowledged there "could" be an issue?

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

    I didn't notice the squeak until I swapped in a LIFEPO4 battery. It would go away for a bit after changing the oil, but would come back sometimes but only after starting the bike. Swapped back and it went away. My theory is the lower impedance characteristic or the LIFEPO4 battery was putting a...

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    If it bottoms and the shock feels healthy, then yes... add some more damping with the clicker. You can go full tight and back off as needed to your liking for one method, or you could add 3-5 clicks at a time until it feels right. I like to move at least 3 clicks at a time, so that you can feel...

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    That's a trick question... Why do you think you need more damping? Are you bottoming out? If so, is your shock healthy? See the stoke test in my post above.

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    At first look, my eye is drawn the load being placed in the center of the bolt/shock eye with that 2pc spacer setup, but it's not like the net is littered with broken shock bolt reports? You might consider boring the spacers to the ID of the shock eye, drilling out your mounting bracket on the...

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    I know everyone is trying to be helpful, but SOOOOO much misinformation here! I'm all about tech and learning, so lets put these misnomers to rest so that it won't keep getting regurgitated in our echo Spyder chamber? The length of the spring has zero effect on the ride or rate. Its already...
