Rode North on Hwy CA 101 up to the rest area near Trinidad CA, and stopped to clean my faceshield and mirrors. It was sunny when I left, but foggy up North, and a bit chilly.

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.
What did you do to your Spyder today?

I do miss the coastal redwoods.

My 2023 RTL is the same way, no split pin. No problems without it and I am on my third tire. Don't worry about it.
And a "just for what's worth" note, when I change out the rear tire I will back off the adjusters an even 10 turns on each bolt. (you can use whatever number you easily remember) When it gets reinstalled I turn them back in the same 10 turns and the adjustment usually is very close.

I never touch the adjuster… did 2 so far…
This was my first change and I followed all I could on this site to carry the job out. I'm not new to bits of m/c mechanics, but I feel at 70, I tend to over think the job in hand.'.
I taped mine, (from a video on this site) but a good tip, thanks.

Had 5 of us participate in the Holly Springs Christmas Parade. Unfortunately, the 2 RT's didn't make the run with us. Too many lights on the 2021 Sea to Sky and when it was time for us to pull out, his battery was dead. His brother on the 2024 Sea to Sky stayed with him. They actually ended up jumping in with a later group that was in the Parade, about 40 places back. Then we did the annual Fruitcake run and later went to a nice burger spot before heading home. It was 27° when we met for the Parade, but the temp got up to 56° for the ride home.

All the panels are off and I did the swap of the left hand multi function switch that is slowly failing, tested it with the panels off in the driveway and it's all good.
Went to start on the fuel filter and #*@! Can-Am did me dirty and placed all of the ear clamps facing downward on the fuel lines.
Enough done for today, I will revisit this next week as salt is now down so I am not going anywhere with it anytime soon.

I gave my Canyon a good 100 mile run to Moose Head Cafe. Our local BMW+ club met with the Two-Wheeled Texans group for our annual Christmas lunch. Then I rode 100 miles home. We did not take the direct route. And yes, the Two-Wheeled Texans are not prejudiced; they allow three wheelers.

One of my best friends is very active in the BMW K1600 group, so I end up doing many rides where almost everyone else is on a Beemer.

I was able to reconnect one wire on the high beam of my Flash2Pass that came loose while the bike was in for warranty service. Should be ready for the New Year's ride!

We're having lots of rain and flooding here, so no riding for the next week or so.
It gives me time for my other Hobby. Amateur Radio.

Battery died at the store, fortunately O’Rielly’s was only a block away. Only got 3 years out of that one.

Went for a cool 100 mile ride down to the South fork of the Honeydew river. It was nice and sunny and 48° F. I don't particularly like to ride when the Sun is so low this time of the year, but I must ride.

We went out a couple of times yesterday as we hit a record high! Breakfast and then lunch via the RT was nice.
Today, yuk... in low 20's now.

Replaced my fuel filter today and ended up replacing the fuel hoses along with it. Once I started manipulating the fuel filter to get it off the hose cracked and split.
Thanks to @TheMariner for the tips on undoing the oetiker clamps, I didn't even need 2 screwdrivers, I just used one and set of needlenose to grab it and pull it off. It made quick work of taking those clamps off. I replaced them with some size 15 fuel injector hose clamps.
