• 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.

    Strange issue - fast idle and difficult 1st/Reverse gear selection?

    My wife owns a 2011 RT Limited. We were out riding on Sunday and the bike exhibited a very strange issue and hoping to get some guidance. The first symptom was that the bike was idling REAL high. So high that from a stop she would let off the brake and the bike would lurch forward. When we...

    Front tire replacement schedule

    We have a 2011 RT Limited with roughly 30,000 miles. We still have the original front tires and they still look like they have enough tread. Is there a recommended replacement mileage when these should be replaced? We did replace the rear tire at 25,000. Thanks

    Rental compnaies near San Francisco

    Thanks. I did see them but their web site had not been updated since 2012 so didn't think they were still in business. Will reach out to them. Yes we will be in the Bay Area for a few days but we have a fairly tight schedule so I won't have any real time to explore. Thanks, Doug

    Anyone with Ultimate Seat and Fuel Door?

    Upon further inspection what is causing this small gap is a horseshoe shaped piece of metal that is used as a stopping plate for the fuel door. As Des told me in his email response, this appears to be normal. Seat will get installed tomorrow morning. We leave Saturday to head south and...

    Anyone with Ultimate Seat and Fuel Door?

    None of the bolts are loose. I already checked that. The fuel door assembly is very tight against the seat. Looks like the seat and the fuel door just don't mesh at that one point. Looks like the seat just isn't flat enough in that one area. As I posted in the post above my big concern is...

    Anyone with Ultimate Seat and Fuel Door?

    I received it yesterday from UPS and did a thorough inspection as Ultimate has only a 14 day return period. During this inspection was when I observed the gap. So I have not installed it yet while I determine if I am going to keep the seat hence no experience with fueling. I did receive a...

    Anyone with Ultimate Seat and Fuel Door?

    I ordered an Ultimate Seat with the fuel door for my wife's RT. We received it today. There is a gap between the fuel door and the seat. I've attached a picture looking down from the top of the seat. You can see the light where I am shinning a flashlight underneath the seat. If you have this...

    Adventures on the Skyline Drive, with Uther the Shiba Inu as Co-pilot!

    Skyline toll road? Not exactly Toll road is not exactly a good description. What you are paying is an entrance fee to a National Park. 150 of the US National Parks charge this fee. It helps with revenues to keep the park operating. The entrance fee for motorcycles is $10. I think this is...

    DESPERATE - RT Wont Start

    WOT did nothing but completely kill the bike. Now it won't even turn over. I'm suspecting a battery/electrical issue. Guess I'm towing it.

    Owners Event Feedback Request...

    Group Ride Feedback George: Like most others here I think publishing the ride routes is a great idea so if folks want to explore on their own they can. But I also think some organized group rides are definitely needed, especially at an owners event. There may be may folks coming that do not...
