• 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.

    201X mileage as of today

    12,632 miles on RT-S PE #180. Can't wait for spring. Should be able to beat 2010 easily. Already have 3 trips planned with my ridding groups including Grand Canyon in July, Colorado in June and Cuba, MO in April.

    MPG range

    The front compartment latch IS adjustable. Held in place with 2 bolts. Loosen the 2 bolts a little and pulll the latch upward a little then retighten the bolts. Takes a 10mm socket. Should be much easier to latch and unlatch. If you fail to tighten the 2 bolts tight enough, the latch will move...

    Spyder from hell

    You know, even after reading Stuterbakerbobs post, it would be difficult for me to place myself in his shoes. For my part, I've had more than my share of problems with my Rt but still not nearly as many as Scotty. Even so, Carlo proved most helpful through it all and never hesitated to make sure...

    What's it worth?

    Dwight, Advantage Power Sports on Barry road in KC told me a 2010 RT-S PE was worth about 16-17K toward a 2011. I thought that was rather low but I wasn't a serious buyer when I asked. Just glad you're not going to the "DARK" side and looking at HD.

    'Recalibrated' RT Front Suspension

    Yes, look at the post just prior to yours. Was able to contact my dealer in time to cancel order for all parts except new 2011 shocks. Saved some bucks. Hope the ride is as improved as they say.

    'Recalibrated' RT Front Suspension

    I take that back. Looked at the wrong model for 2011. Think I'll try to cancel part of my order and just get the shocks.

    'Recalibrated' RT Front Suspension

    Just did a parts shearch for part numbers for 2010 vs 2011 shock and spring. They DO have different part numbers 2010 Shock 706000675 2011 Shock 706201150 2010 Spring 706000676 2011 Spring 505071707 Looks different to me.

    'Recalibrated' RT Front Suspension

    Boy, I hope this isn't true. I just placed an order for all the spring/shock assy. on the 2011 to install on my 2010. Think I may of just wasted my $$. They show the assembly (parts 13 through 18B) but don't give a part number for the assembly so,,,, I ordered the parts involved. Buying just the...

    Carbon Fiber Handle Bar

    This will be much easier for you if you have a service manual. Biggest step is removing the "Console Module" which also includes ignition switch removal. One step left out in procedure outlined in service manual is removal of "Front Compartment Latch Assembly". Failing to remove the latch...

    Carbon Fiber Handle Bar

    Finally got the parts back from the painter and reinstalled the handle bar. Looks so much better than the bare aluminum. Next phase is the rear drive/timming belt pulley. My painter is on vacation till after the 1st so this will take longer. With the rear pulley done, I won't have any aluminum...

    Anti Vib Work

    Got the Rt all apart and waiting for handle bar to come back from painter. Decided this was a good time to cut/grind clearance for the engine support rod which causes everyone vibration. As you can see in the photos, I don't have much room in my basement garage for this project but it works...

    Handle Bar Removal Tip

    Removed the handle bar assembly on my RT so I could get it painted in carbon fiber. Next peice will be the rear wheel sprocket. Job took 3 hours. Requires removal of the entire Console Module. Might of gone faster but the service manual left a couple steps out or at least I wasn't able to...
