• 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.

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    Just went against my 10w40 preference yesterday by doing a oil change using Amsoil 5w40 metric motorcycle oil. I'll send it in for an analysis, but it'll be a year :)

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Oil and filter change today. I've always been a stickler for 10w40 weight oils for the Spyder, but today I opted to try something new. So, Five quarts of Amsoil 5w40 metric motorcycle synthetic oil and a Baja Ron Hiflo oil filter kit. I will send this oil off to analysis, but it will likely be a...

    Is Ethanol Shield good for winter storage?

    I also live in Wisconsin and hibernate my Spyder for 5 months. That said, over the years I have generally used three products: Seafoam; Star Tron; Stabil, along with a full tank of 91 octane ethanol free gasoline. I have never had any fuel injection (or carburettor) issues come Spring. I'm sure...

    Has anyone removed/modified the Airbox on an F3 to improve intake airflow? Ideas?

    I also can tell you that the two drilled holes do allow more air into the intake. On my prior F3S, before I had a custom tune on my PV3 equipped Spyder, I drilled the holes into the air cleaner cover. When riding it around, the Spyder would noticeably fart and pop on decel. After datalogging a...

    Baldwin Ironworks cat delete install issue - having a hard time getting a seal! Any tips/advice?

    Also, the OEM clamp can stretch a bit with repeated use. New clamps cost $20. On my past F3S, I lined the inner clamp with muffler wrap like you have on the delete pipe. The wrap sealed the pipe connection seams and allowed the clamp to fully tighten down. It never leaked after that. I also...

    Anyone added Handguards to a 2020-2023 RT?

    Not on my RT S2S, but I did add handguards on my past F3S. They were generic ebay/Chinese handguards that I can't find anymore. That said, albeit more $$, you can easily use some Barkbusters single sided handguards, simply by using longer screws on your bar end caps. You can then add a variety...

    So, No grommets that the panel pops into? Just grab the outer edges and pull from tabs?

    Thank you. Glad I didn't pull too hard upwards, like on my past F3S. :)

    Range Anxiety Be Damned - Rotopax installed!

    Yup. I've had range anxiety a few times on my Spyders. Especially on my past F3S with the 89t rear pulley. 80mph interstate trips sure sucked the gas down! :(
