• 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.

    Airhawk

    I just got one and I am still playing with it. I haven't found where it helps much so far. The one thing I do like is it is vented and helps keep your butt cool. The comfort seat gets hot.

    Harder steering after laser alignment

    I have a dumb question and very curious about how the rear tire pressure affects the handling? I have Formoza's on the front and an Altimax on the rear and have been running 18# all around. I have played around some with the fronts from 15# to 20# but have not played around with the rear yet...

    Belt Tension at rest vs. driven

    Hi Mike, when you say very loose what do you have it set at? This spring I had the dealer install a new Altimax rear tire and when I checked it was set at around 210#. I have read many posts about belt tension and not sure at this point what the correct spec is for a 2015 RT. I have loosened it...

    Made the move - RT to F3-T

    Hello and congrats on your new ride. Love the color. I have a RTS Special Series that is also red/black. I haven't demoed the new F3L yet but last year I rode an F3T a couple of times and really like the seating position over the RT. What do you like about the F3 vs the RT?

We have a place near by called Helmet World that has many helmets on display where you can check out and try on. Will look for the pinlock system and I also see another called Everclear no fog shield. Thanks...

    Helmets and rain

    When it comes to helmets what works best if caught in the rain? Keep your face from getting pelted. Keep the shield from fogging up. I don't travel a lot but am planning on going to Spyderquest. This will be my first event. May try Spyderfest next year. Many of you travel many miles and per year...

    2015 RT-S Special Series Backrest

    Stock vs comfort seat I too have the 2015 RTs Special Series and I believe you have the standard stock seat due to the red stitching. The "Comfort Seat" only comes with white stitching and the drivers backrests are different for each seat. I bought the comfort seat for mine and I bought a red...

    Wandering belt

    Belt tension Wandering Belt So I got my Krikit to day, good old BajaRon, belt was miles out only 160 pounds, racked it up to 220 pounds Belt tension seems to be all over the place. A post from BajaRon shows a conversion chart of 202 to 270. Others run less like 160 to 180. My...

    Advice on Highway Pegs

    I am 5'10" and have the comfort seat. I installed Lamonster's NBV brackets with gripper pegs and like them a lot. I can stretch out with my feet totally on the pegs or I can put my heel on the floor boards with my toes on the peg. Sort of a cruiser riding position.

    Side wind deflectors

    I just installed a set on my RTS. I found them on EBay for $130.00. I haven't rode much since the install to determine how well they work.

    Custom fitting of helmet

    I have a G-Max helmet that was tight on my forhead and left a red spot. I took the liner out and shaved some of the styrofoam out with a dremel tool. This worked well for me. Never thought about using a spoon but will try that next time.

    Question about shock adjusters

    I have read many posts about this and I am wondering what the benefit is. Do they help on the straight away and the uneven road surface or more for cornering? I tend to get some bobbing side to side which is most likely common but was wondering if shock adjusters helped prevent this.

    Doc Humphries Vibration Damper

    Thanks Doc. I will check the alignment of the bracket and pulley and order a Krikit to check the tension. To me it feels too tight. The alignment of the belt looks good. A question I have is the tension setting. I have read many posts where it should be around 220#(min-202#, spec-236#...
