• 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.

    BR-1 has company :(

    It's this kind of uncertainty which saps my confidence. I have never had a broken part or a reliability issue involving my RT since I bought it in '11. Great, I feel very fortunate compared to some owners' experiences recorded here. But that's a worry, too. How long before my RT breaks down and...

    Hesitant pickup through the gears

    Said I'd get back to you but I forgot! Turns out that over the winter non-riding months I mysteriously changed how I was changing gear. The reminders I was given here eliminated my motor's hesitancy. We are smooth again and you know how smooooooth that is! No rolling off the revs is the only way...

    Hesitant pickup through the gears

    It's frustrating for both of us, (you and me, not me and Faye), but the truth is I have no first-hand knowledge, sadly the lady remains where she has always been in my life, way out of reach. :(

    Hesitant pickup through the gears

    Well I must have gotten into this bad habit without knowing because my gear changes used to be as smooth as the inside of Faye Dunaway's dressing gown. I'll let y'all know how it is after I've had a chance to mend my ways. :pray: And thanks.

    Keeping strangers off and a subwoofer...

    It's a condition of my insurers that a Cat-1 alarm is fitted. Unfortunately the alarm they specify is designed for motorcycles typically leaning on their side-stands. It has a built-in mercury switch so that if someone climbs aboard and moves the bike to vertical the alarm is triggered. The...

    Hesitant pickup through the gears

    Hi. Can anyone suggest a reason why my RT SE5 hesitates as I change up through the gears? If the throttle linkage was cable driven I'd expect to see it had stretched and I'd take up the slack on the cable adjuster at the twist grip, that's exactly what this hesitation feels like, a stretched...

    The Value of Wearing Good Gear

    Cor, guv'nor, you're a one and no mistake! (Haven't a clue how to translate that from Cockney into English but I believe it to be complimentary).

    The Value of Wearing Good Gear

    A favorable comment is enough, Bob, that one bent the needle on my adulation meter. :shocked:

    The Value of Wearing Good Gear

    I do wish you hadn't said that. I could use a favorable comment or two. I'm not desperate enough to offer money...! Not yet. :joke:

    The Value of Wearing Good Gear

    I don't mind being taken apart for something that I've said but I draw the line at feeling any responsibility for what I didn't say. I didn't say MrBones would become a paraplegic if he didn't wear protective gear, I said he had a fatalistic outlook in which he appeared to exclude the...

    A funny thing happened on our way to the Devil's Triangle

    We live only 30 miles from Wales where Welsh Rarebit is said to originate. The following recipe gives a possible tongue-in-cheek explanation of how the dish came about. "Welsh rarebit is perhaps the most famous Welsh dish of them all and one which, along with Irish Stew and Scottish Haggis...

    The Value of Wearing Good Gear

    One problem with a fatalistic outlook like yours is you don't think you are ever going to end up in a paraplegic condition where other people have to do things for you that you currently do for yourself. My impression is that at a personal level you believe you are indestructible. As for...

    FOUND A GOOD BUG REMOVER FOR SPYDER

    I found it on UK E-Bay and I'll have it by Tuesday. Thanks for taking the time to recommend this stuff, now that our weather has warmed up the Kamikaze bugs are out in force. :sour:

    Regret buying this piece so crap !

    You complain at length that what is being said here is not to your liking because it offers mostly heat ... very little light. Fortunately this freely expressed collection of opinions, anecdotes, first and second-hand experiences exists in a forum which enables you, if you so wish, to move on to...

    Regret buying this piece so crap !

    Under other circumstances I would agree with you completely but frustration quickly turns to anger when you pay a lot of money for a machine that spends most of its time in some repair shop or other waiting for parts, and when they do eventually turn up don't fix the problem. It's natural to...

    Regret buying this piece so crap !

    Surely this is an example of hope over experience? Sure, we'd all like very much to think BRP reacts to what is posted, there is some really pertinent stuff here relating to the performance of Spyders in the hands of ordinary owners which IMHO should be heeded. Taking turn signals as an example...

    Mounting a Stebel Nautilus Air Horn on the RT

    It's vital that you wire up to the numbered terminals on the relay correctly. Your description of the fault indicates that the horn is getting a supply of juice without the horn button being pushed. It could be a bad relay with the solenoid stuck in the closed position across terminals 87 and...
