• 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.

    Drive Belt Tensioner

    I have also installed the tensioner and find it a great improvement on the highway. Haven't noticed any difference as far as "down shifting" and don't understand why the tensioner would have anything to do with that. Anyway, thanks Capt. Jim.

    Dyna Beads balancing

    I use Ride-On instead. I'm on my 3rd tire now and haven't had the last two balanced. Just put 18oz. of Ride-On in the tire, rode around town for 10 miles or so and rode on. Stuff works great and also provides puncture sealant.

    RT with "DPS" Problem

    Well,,,,,,I have a volt meter and it was reading about 14 volts so I don't think that was the problem. Still has not returned and I've ridden it every day this week to and from the office and around town. A little shy about making a long trip until I can get it to the dealer and have them check...

    In Cuba!

    I'm feeling very envious right now. Am self employed and last minute business means I won't be there till Saturday. Things will almost be over by that time but still hope to have a face to face with lots of people I've been fortunate enough to meet on "SPYDERLOVERS.COM". Save me some fun.

    Service bulletin

    Had the same problem with my 2010 RT last year right after I got it. My dealer is 50 miles away so I fixed it my self. Took the rear cover off to expose the release handle and cable. Discovered that the cable MUST be routed just so in order to allow the cable to work properly. Failure occures...
