• 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.

    Does a first service/oil change at 500 miles sound "normal" for a 2024 RTL

    I'd be doing the first oil change well under 1K. Not because of the break in oil (if these use it or not) but to get any manufacturing junk that was missed when it was assembled as well as the initial wear from new parts. My Ram when I bought it new, I did the first oil change at 2000kms I...

    Anyone tried brake pads other than OEM &/or EBC? Successfully, or not?

    Thanks Doug. Yeah, it's the peripherals that kill me. I just looked up a set of speed bleeders, figured I'd splurge and get away from the ole vacuum pump, only nowhere in Canada are they listed. By the time I order 3 bleeders at US $7 a pop and shipping at another US $20, I'm up to US $41 which...

    Wasn't looking for more material, just something comparable at a less than ridiculous price. LOL, begin with an an 'A...' by any chance :-)

    Let's get one thing out of the way first, I'm a cheap sob where I can be! LOL. Somebody's going to chime in, "If you want to kill yourself with inferior brakes, go ahead" I'm sure, but that's a bit melodramatic. I'm planning on changing the brake fluid and pads all round when I lay the rig up...

    Don't be caught by this Scamming outfit!

    I was looking for a couple of replacement visors, the inner and outer, for my older LS2 OF569 helmet. It's no longer made but it's a comfortable helmet and I like it. The visors I did find were almost as much as the whole setup so I didn't bother as the ones I had were good, I just wanted a...

    Spyder Headlights are Great!

    Not sure what they are other than being LED. Here's a couple pics if anyone can tell me. The actual headlight low beams are the best, long distance, great side to side, and brilliant white coverage. The high beams, although bright, are quite... ahhh, 'liney', if that makes sense? You can see...

    Spyder Headlights are Great!

    First time I had mine out after dark, (don't like riding in the dark at all) damn, the headlights are great. Lights up the road better than my Ram 1500, I was impressed. Doesn't mean I now like night riding, LOL.

    24 RT with a Delay in gear upshift, but not all the time - anyone else? Any fixes?

    I know mine gives a pretty good lurch when coming on to it and upshifting, rpm's around 6K ±. Coming out of a short on ramp for instance trying to get up to speed fast.

    RT Muffler needs repair at flared end - any thoughts or sources on repair pipes with flares?

    Wouldn't be hard to fix, cut the worn thru piece out and weld on a new belled end:

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I'd be more concerned about that ^ - it's usually a sign of damn rodents, which also love to chew wires. My next door neighbour had mice get into her car; it was over $2K to get the wiring and seatbelts replaced.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Are those all pock marks/rock hits on the rads or just bug remnants?

    Is there a replacement Storage Trunk for an F3S Passenger Seat? Any pics?

    I knew I had seen it somewhere, didn't realize it was here tho. LOL Thanks GW. As for the size, any addition's an improvement with the small saddlebags and the frunk. Wish you were closer... and in the same country LOL, I'd buy it off you...

    Is there a replacement Storage Trunk for an F3S Passenger Seat? Any pics?

    Stupid question. Did I see a pic here or somewhere else of a replacement storage trunk that replaced the passenger seat to fit a F3S? Not the big high trunk, it looked to be roughly the same dimensions as the removeable passenger seat but it was a hard-shell with a locked cover. I've looked and...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Just goes to show the difference in people. I've got them on mine and they made all the difference in the world as far as comfort. I found the OE's too small and my hands cramped up. They still do now but not as fast LOL. Ditto, I leave mine on all the time so I don't bother with the switch...
