• 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.

    Laser Alignment

    The ROLO laser alignment system aligns the front wheels to the rear wheel. You don't want to do the alignment if the belt is not aligned properly because if you change the belt alignment after the laser alignment you are no longer properly aligned. However, if your belt is currently properly...

    Stuff about water I didn’t know

    Dihydrogen Monoxide is pernicious and deadly stuff, universal solvent and everyone who drinks it dies.

    Day 9: Lower 48, No Interstate Natchez MS to Tupelo MS

    Cell phone photos tend to come across that way. I believe that the only way to change the orientation is to rotate the picture with editing software and then saving the result.

    This effects you too!!!

    The issue has been going on for some time and is more complicated than the article would suggest. 13 of the western states contain 93% of all federal lands and the government has been increasing its ownership of federal lands through the designation of National Monuments. There are valid...

    battery

    I agree with Steve. And by taking it out to a power source you can hook it up to a maintainer.

    AAA or AMA

    I support AMA for what they do for motorcycling rights. The one time I needed to call them for roadside assistance it was a bust. I had a blowout in Virginia on a Saturday afternoon about 12 miles north of the NC border. I was clueless about what was in the area and whoever they contracted...

    A vastly improved way to lift the Spyder ….

    You are spot on. I don't have the same jack or the adapter, but I do have an adapter for my Venture that makes all the difference in raising the bike. The guy that built that adapter also built it with a locking rod and a place to insert legs at the corners. That allows me to jack the bike...

    $133 for a replacement key?!? WTF

    Since the original post was from 2011 the system on that bike could use a cloned key. However the original BRP keys were already programmed from the factory. To add an extra key required that the key be cut to fit the ignition and then added to security module of the bike. Adding a key...

    B.E.S.T. WARRANTY

    Would not dispute that, but it also should be noted that Berts Mega Mall has been a sponsor of this forum for some time as well.

    Make new key

    And I have cloned Aprilia blanks. I was responding to a comment that I may have misunderstood. It said shipped replacement key and taking that in conjunction with the OP talking about factory keys I assumed that the comment was referring to a BRP key. A BRP key has to be added using the...

    Make new key

    You can find the programming steps in the shop manual. Finless Bob did a you tube on how to do it: https://youtu.be/a8xbXEE_ky4 You cannot clone a BRP key. You add them to the security table with the master key.

    Brake fluid change and BUDS

    The flat rate manual calls for 3.4 hours. Since that is determined by doing the job on a pristine bike, most shops will increase that by a percentage.

    2016 Lower 48, No Interstate Tour

    We were able to find welcome signs on most side roads. One thing that helped us to have advance warning of where the signs were was doing a bit of internet recon. While using Base Camp and having Google Earth running, I would put a waypoint at the border as indicated on the map, then (with...

    GPS - planning a route and unloading to Garmin 559

    Garmin provides two pieces of software to help you out with that. First off is to install Garmin Express on your PC. It will help you with file transfers and also updating your GPS. The planning piece is called Base Camp. IIRC there are some videos out to show you basic operations for...

    How many miles on rear tire

    Another factor to tire wear is the type of roads you ride on. A lot of the roads here in the Hill Country are chip seal. They are very abrasive, especially on soft compound motorcycle tires.

    Maine to Virginia

    Go to spydercomfort.com/dealers. You can look for dealers by state. Independent folks (not from a motorcycle dealership) are also listed on there under the independent tag.

    laser alignment

    I would not pay anyone to do the alignment if it wasn't ROLO. Can-Am aligns the spyders before they deliver them to a customer, but it is not as accurate as a ROLO alignment. Go to the Spydercomfort.com/dealers link mentioned in an earlier post and find one close. If there is not a dealer...

    Eye protection

    http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/ has a good line of wrap arounds, goggles, and bifocals in various colors. I prefer the pyramex V2s.

    Looking for riders in the NE San Antonio area

    Do yourself a favor and avoid I35 when going from Rockwall to San Antonio. It is a bit longer to go US 67 to US 281 down but the scenery is better and you would avoid the parking lot that I35 can be. Around the Austin area there are some scenic roads that are worth the detour (assuming you...
