• 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.

    Any Full Synthetic oils that DON'T have issues with clutch slipping? RS V-twin motor

    I have used Shell Rotella T-6 in all my bikes since like 2007. Kawasaki 900, Yamaha Venture tour bike Victory and now the Spyder. Never had any issues.

    Another close call! I need more reflective striping!

    I've been trying to figure out the loud pipes theory for years. If your trying to not get cut across the bow, how is all the racket coming out the back of the bike help? How about a Stebel type compact air horn? I've run them for years. Not fit one yet to the Spyder...

    New Spyder sold with no factory warranty - is this right? What say you all?

    If it was "never registered" titled vehicle, full warranty should apply. It would in the automotive world, now in powersports I'm not sure.

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    I wired in a dual charge port to a homemade bracket mounted to handlebars. Wire is run up under tupperware from the left accessory port.

    2011 Rear Wheel Static Balance - do it with hub & sprocket fitted, or without?

    +1 on dyna beads (or similar) balance bead. My thoughts are if it is in the rotating mass it needs to be balanced as an assembly.

    F-3 Tire Recommendations

    I went with a Kelly Springfield off Amazon in 205 flavor. Was about $75-80 and seems to be fine. Rides smooth, ran a long-distance trip up to NC from Fla 2-up. Unfortunately, I got the chance to check it out in the rain also.

    Lame USPS - sending my items on a nice long road trip!

    UPS has lost a 90+ lb electric motor on my company twice and destroyed one also. I cant imagine how you loose something in a 16x 20 inch box with that weight. We even got a video from a customer where UPS driver asked the receptionist to help him get box out of truck. LOL Box looked like it had...

    Anyone help with a diagram of a Rear brake caliper rebuild or hints/tips? Any kits?

    Glad you have a fix. Now I will tell you, from my years as an instructor for an automotive class, we don't even teach rebuilding of callipers anymore. The other instructor and I were both taught that back when we were brought into the business. Now the rule of thumb is to replace the component...

    Any Ideas on how to get dual input via a 3.5 cable?

    Yes! Exactly in explanation of what I was thinking more or less. The Y cable acts as though it is "one way" or has a diode in it and only allows transmission of signal one direction sort of. But my confusion on the thing is both units are plugged into what would be say the input side. So, the XM...

    Any chart/pics to show where Oil change O rings need to go?

    I have only done one oil change so far on the Spyder. But I replaced the drain plugs with the magnetic ones. and I think they had crush washers on them.

    Any Ideas on how to get dual input via a 3.5 cable?

    I tried to BT it no go. I also on my Victory had it operate thru the FM on a preselect station. No go other spyder for some reason. So a plug was only solution I came up with.

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    Only signs I see discouraging entry is for semi's. I see hot shots, motorhomes, lawn service etc. in there all the time.

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    Buceez ain't the only place this happens. I have stopped at Loves and racetrack same senerio. Self centered, but from store view point more $$.

    Anyone here like planning their own routes?

    LOL gas station map. I haven't seen a gas station with maps in a long time. I have contacted the different states I an to visit and try to get maps ahead of time.

    Any Ideas on how to get dual input via a 3.5 cable?

    Well, I have the BRP app on phone. So far, I have not investigated operating it to see if it works. I have my SENA SMH 10 able to pick up bike, but I had to turn off BT on phone to SENA in order to get it to work, otherwise it would not pair. The XM unit is "hard wired" as it has no external...

    Anyone here like planning their own routes?

    I just used TYRE a week or so ago. When I opened it gave me the "update" message. So it seems it is supported. I still use the "old" Streets and trips, mainly because it will figure in rest breaks and fuel. Gives me a better idea of how long actual trip is, rather than X miles = X hours

    Any Ideas on how to get dual input via a 3.5 cable?

    I have a Sirius XM Onyx mounted and running thru the radio via a 3.5 cable. Works fine. I also have a mount for and older 765 Garmin. I bought a Y cable thinking that plugging them both in and the GPS would just "announce" when direction changes came up. But they don't seem to work that way. I...

    Anyone running 80/100w H4 bulbs in their Ryker?

    I have run HID bulbs in a couple bikes. But I will say they probably put out more heat than a high watt halogen. LED has come a very long way. I have put probably 3 sets at least in different vehicles in last several years. The last 2 pairs were better beam and focus wise.
