• 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.

    Is my Air bag leveling? Any way to make it more noticeable when adjusting the ride height?

    If it is like mine, it must be in gear with the parking brake off for it to adjust. I just checked mine and using my ride adjust switch (ACS) the passanger foot rest height to floor changed about .75" between soft to hard. I was not on the bike with it in R and the back tire blocked.

    Did they say how long and where this thing was in storage?

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    Totally agree. Just trying to make her all she can be. I talked to a Vred rep, and after he calmed down after I said I put them on a motorcycle and after I explained it was a reverse trike he said I could go down to 24 PSI. We all know that is not correct: probably had something to do with...

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    Do you check yours? What % increase do you get? You should get the 4# increase if you are running the Kendas at recommended PSI dependent on rider and cargo weight.

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    Just read about a new way to judge correct tire pressure. When running lower pressure than what a tire was designed for, they recommend using a 10% increase instead of the 4 PSI rule. We can get away with the lower pressure because our vehicles weight much less than the cars they we developed...

    2024 will Crank, but just won't start! More later...

    The only 2 times I got stranded was when it came off the tender and then an 8 mile drive to Wally world and no crank. Got it jumped and back home to the tender. 3 days later and battery was according to the tender fully charged, same ride same result. The new battery turned 5 in June and has...

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    To clarify, we are not saying you should have a 4 psi difference between the fronts and rear, we are saying each tire should increase by 4 psi from the cold setting and after driven to warm them up. If you get less than 4 then you are overinflated and more than 4 then under. Has to do with the...

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    I will also be able to do a longevity test as the last tire (same as this one) was balanced with weights!

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    I agree with using the automotive version but my experience has been it is hard to find. In the past when I go to the Ride-on site you could not order from them. The only Ride-on I could find was on Amazon and only the motorcycle version. My ride on the last leg was 55 miles of interstate at 70...

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    I run the Vred 205/60 set at 15 PSI with 13 oz Ride-on on the back and Vred 175/55 set at 17 PSI with 8 oz Ride-on in each on the front. I used a Jaco digital inflator to air the tires and the same to check the pressures at the end. I weigh 145# and was carrying minimal cargo. This latest trip...

    Is this Rubber band feeling from stop normal? Don't notice it again once started...

    Mine does the same thing and the colder the morning is the worse it bucks. I have a stop sign at approximately .2 miles. Smooth as silk every time when accelerating from it. I think the computer is searching for the proper fuel to air mixture initially.

    Coolant leak on 2016 RTL - screw type hose clamp on thermostat housing loose!

    Update: Since I tightened the clamp, I have logged 2,577 miles and it has been 48 days and the coolant level is still exactly where it should be!

    How many miles do you have on your Spyder?

    I currently have 79,234 miles of which 74,500 are mine since I got it on 9/22/2020. She has never handled and run better than she does now. Thanks to all for the suggestions for handling and performance upgrade suggestions! It's a shame that they don't come from the factory this way. Unlock the...

    Fuel Gauge Quit, still shows Empty after filling - any ideas what's happened?

    Try the "Peter" thing first but if your extended warranty has expired just reset your trip odo every time you get gas and get gas at 180 miles and I venture to guess you will never run out of gas. I say this because checking mine and my fill-up records with over .5 left in the tank mine was...
