• 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.

    Want to kill a few hours.....Change your oil

    14+K is a bit more than usual. But syn oil is designed to take the abuse. I use syn oil in all my vehicles and change them out every 10K.

    Can't help with the back rest but BRP do make an OEM version of the peg extender for passanger with long legs. It extend the peg position down and forward. Looks original as part of the bike. I changed all my OEM pegs to Kury spider pegs. Bigger and more custom look.

    Want to kill a few hours.....Change your oil

    No way to prefill a filter installed side way. When filling the main resovoir, the oil should drian into the filter housing. A few seconds without oil isn't gonna hurt anything. Oil change is like washing cars. Take your time and inspect the areas you are working on. Tighten any stuff that...

    A couple battery questions

    I got a great deal on eBay on the Ody 680 over winter. $108 shipped to anywhere in the US. Any acid battery with VENT hose should not be mounted on its side AGM or no AGM. You are going to get acid leak everywhere and rust any metal it touches. In addition, if the battery is not sealed, air...

    Star Brite

    Interesting instruction on the Star Brite for diesel gallon jug. It says 1oz. for the first 16 gallons then 1oz. for 32 gallons there after. So all I need is 1/4oz. for my 16 gallon gas tank? Holly cow that's cheap. Hope it works as good as it sounds.

    Star Brite

    I contacted the guy on eBay who is selling gallon for diesel and see if he is willing to sell me a case (4 x one gallon) at a discounted price. He end up doing $79 per shipped. The math comes out to be around $0.0193 per gallon ($316 / (4 x 128oz. x 32 gallon)). Would be even more saving if I...

    Nanny finally showed up to the party!

    It takes a bit of practice to dodge pot holes with a three wheeler. Aim just inside of the front wheel and maybe even strattle the inside edge over the edge of the pot hole. I actually turn a bit as soon as the front wheel pass the pot hole to get even more clearance for the rear wheel on some...

    Nanny finally showed up to the party!

    I got this zig-zag uphill turn near my place. Everytime I try to rip around that corner (handle cocked, hanging off the extream right side with knee half way to the ground), the damn thing kicks in and takes all the fun out of goosing the throttle.:gaah: Think of me doing a slow-mo GP turn...

    Bad Boy air horn and stock horn wire connectors

    Spyder's wire must be more beefy than the ones on my Tacoma. I direct replaced one of the two oem horns on the Taco with the Bad Boyz and had to lay on the horn to drive a moose off the interstate. And as soon as I turn on the hazard blinker (which is on the same circuit as the horn), the fuse...

    Star Brite

    Interesting reading. I just bought enough Star Brite diesel stuff to last me until the cow comes home :roflblack:. Price was good and per gallon cost is under 2 pennies.

    Star Brite

    Huge price per gallon difference from gas to diesel. Went from 11 cents per gallon on the car stuff to just 2 cents per gallon on the diesel stuff when its bought in gallon jar. Nice tip there Evan.:2thumbs:

    used spyders for 10 thousand $

    A third off list, not one third of the original price. I did $14,995 plus the accessories and took a third off the top for depreciation. I got the Spyder in the middle of the winter so had to wait until the following spring to ride it. PS. I have even seen a few who paid less than I did in '09.

    What brand of oil do you use?

    Very important to get the right oil for MCs because of the wet clutch setup on most MCs. Do not add any kind of additives. If you are not sure, it's best to go with dealer's recommendation.

    used spyders for 10 thousand $

    Aaahh ... missed the dealer demo part. That means low miles and carries full 2 year warrenty for the "first" owner. Well, I guess that's in line on the pricing. I was thinking private party sale which is going between $7-9K over winter. I happen to stumble into a semi distressed sale situation...

    What brand of oil do you use?

    Bought a case of Royal Purple from Amazon (free shipping) based on recommendations from here. Been very happy with it. Engine did run a bit cooler (half to one bar) and I can't ask for more than that.:thumbup:
