• 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.

    New Spyders - Check That Aligment!!!

    Any ingenious ways of hauling Fishing poles?

    I used to fish quite a bit with a Daiwa travel pak outfit. It comes in a small case with room for a spinning reel and some tackle. It was an ultralight outfit and I would run 4-6lb line. I used it for fishing ponds and forest preserve lakes for large mouth bass, bluegills and an occasional...

    Stabil Blue & Marvel Mistery Oil: Don't laugh!

    The intake manifold can be removed and the engine crankshaft rotated to close the valves on a cylinder. The technician then can use chemicals, solvents, brushes and compressed air to dissolve and clean out the carbon before rotating the engine to do the same for the next cylinder. Again, my...

    Was it “Joel the Biker” when he posted this —> https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?144195-2021-S2S-motor-blew-up!&highlight=Engine+blew I read it then and reread it now. In my opinion what was reported then was inconclusive and not evidence supported. Maybe someone else?

    My basis for the statement is based upon decades of experience working in the automotive field and information about gasoline supplied by Mobil oil.

    Fuel octane explained.

    From what I read in the article the author stated to use the fuel required by the manufacturer who designed the engine. Using improper fuel is at the choice and risk of the operator. Had the article dove in on the Spyder specifically then the article would be more appropriate to our needs. I...

    2023 Ryker 900 - anyone done any long trips?

    You would be wishing you never listened to your wife when it came down to purchasing a Ryker for two-up riding and long distances to boot. It would be like driving from New York to L.A. in the luxury of a golf cart. The Ryker is nice for solo riding around town but that’s about it. Its...
