• 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.

    Real Bike?

    Great comeback This weekend I was on the ferry heading across the Puget Sound and two guys on their Harleys were upset that they put my Spyde front and center on the ferry. First off every time. They offered to race. I just said why I would not want you to feel bad should an old guy and his wife...

    Now what BRP?

    When I was dealing with other issues. BRP told me that if you are not shifting at higher RPM's and running the machine at higher RPM's that the vapor canister /systems on the bike do not work properly. According to them open her up and let her sing 5000+ should clear things up. SE5 need to...

    Engine vibration at 6000 rpm

    Hey Jim I am very anxious to install it. I did get my bits back from the powder coater and now with my highway pegs and backrest installed the ride is so much better. I rode home from work yesterday and I hardly noticed vibration because I was more comfortable. I still need to grind the foam...

    Engine vibration at 6000 rpm

    I ordered the smooth belt tensioner from Captain Jim Yesterday Hope to have it next week thinking positive this should help with my vibration issues. I have read of several folks with the vibration issue and the belt harmonics are a common theme. Good Luck Dean

    Motor vibration

    Good Day Thanks for the response I do keep the rpms up the vibration is very noticeable at 5000 and no doubt clears up at 5500 also noticeable more while accelirating under load. Catch is 4th gear 5400 is 63mph so (legal speed limit) 5th is unusable? 5th at 5500 is 78-80mph can you say...
