• 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.

    (10)------ 2013 cars that can last for 250,000 miles (or more)

    Shocked the Chevy Avalanche was given this honor over Mercedes Benz. We have a tahoe and a benz, and although sturdy, the benz wears it age mechanically much better internally as well as externally. Only caveat is a marginal increase over Chevrolet in maintenance rates. :confused:

    14000 mile Service

    I did the 14k and my friends 14k minus the valve check. Total cost per Spyder? 250$ tops. Once you learn to how to take the coffin out, it's a breeze. I didnt change brake or clutch fluid though.. I'm doing brakes next. These aren't hard to work on.

    Engine Hesitation at Highway Speeds- Wondering if it the O2 sensor?

    We have the same bike and almost an identical setup. I suspected the JB and spoke with a tech. Mine would run fine, then after turning the bike off and letting it sit, I would ride off to find it would hesitate some. Rolling on the throttle helped some. After 15 seconds or so or mild...

    Cool windshield !

    Letter of the law or spirit? Letter of the law says its a citation. Your argument in court might be that's ornamental but I wouldn't put much stock in that. Could you probably get away with it? Probably. Could we see a forum entry in a couple of years about some rookie citing you after...

    Radar Detector

    Instant on Laser.. The range of a cruise missle and once the trigger is pulled, the reaction will not be quick enough.. Instant kill. Minimum diffusion meaning laser detection is minimized to the cell your driving in. Only defense is jammer and thats a cat and mouse game as they keep...

    LICENSE STATE to STATE

    It's somewhat of a grey area, although the states are "supposed" to honor the license holders state laws. The mindset is this: If Johnny was riding from California to Spyderfest, would he have to apply for a M endorsement through each state? The answer of course is no. It must be noted...

    Spark plugs and Wires from Bajaron are in!

    Provided you take off the entire airbox assembly, its easy. KN filter is clean and brand new. I set dials to zero instead of plus 1 plus 1. Im hoping that will lean mixture enough that Pc5 map is sufficient. Bike much smoother and feels real good. No stuttering at the moment :)

    Spark plugs and Wires from Bajaron are in!

    Poor choice of words. Ill dial back the JB. Initially I increased the fuel because of the occasional cool weather sputter. Based on the condition of the wires, that may have been the wrong move. Additionally, I didnt plug chop due to the tupperware so last 5m was city traffic. Im going to...

    Spark plugs and Wires from Bajaron are in!

    Well.. I took it casual and the plugs and wires werent difficult. The oem plug wires were a PITA to remove though. The old plugs were the original 2008s with 11.5k on em and looked pretty well fried. Cant tell if im running too rich though... As I ride all year, I find myself trimming up...

    Motorcycle converts - tell me about your experience

    Used to be into sport bikes. Ninjas, Gsxr's, FZR, CBR...now I just have the Spyder. At 40, I miss powering out of a corner some...but the trade offs far outweigh that cornering issue. I never get excited about front wheel washout...sand...long intersections trying to stay balanced, sore...

    Brake Failure message

    I know this thread is old, however I had the same issue during hard braking. I discovered the floats...well one of them were stuck. I poked it, topped off the fluid and no more messages. Apparently the fluid would move forward when low and trip the sensor..which was already between the two...
