• 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.

    People asking questions about the Spyder

    you really ARE new to this game aren't you ? My favorite is the young kid, maybe twenty something coming out of dollar general as I was strapping on my helmet. He said "Hey mister, is that thing fun?" I smiled big and shook my head, and said "Uh uh" Then we both had a good laugh.

    Cramped seating for driver?

    I bought a Corbin seat for my RT. It is very supportive, what some call "hard" but it does soften some as you break it in. They totally custom built mine. Moved drivers portion up 2" and back 3". I am 6ft 6 inches and never carry a passenger, so the back seat area has been shortened. Hey I am...

    Commonalities?

    I hit almost every "new" post, regardless of the category it is posted in. Okay maybe not every OIL post, and certainly not every TIRE post, but most everything else is pretty entertaining and educational. I love these guys, really.

    Glacier National Park

    pay special attention to wildlife on roadway, all roads are narrow, also look for wet patches on road from baby waterfalls. Grab any turn out you can find for amazing photo ops. Be sure to visit the depot while there. Mostly just stay safe.

    Buying Spyder RT advice

    had a 14, traded on a 17, loved them both. the 14 WAS a first year model for the 1330 triple, and they did not have every bug worked out, like DESS. You have the kind of budget that will allow you to buy almost anything you want in an RT. Don't pay for anyone's farkles, and just know there are a...

    Observations and questions about riding style

    oh boy...first off this Ron agrees with BajaRon and I ride as though everyone on the road is out to kill me. I have an exit plan, ditch, off ramp, center divider, etc, for any situation. I have been down on the pavement a couple times on two wheels. Both times about a block away from home. I...

    Bugs!

    any decent wash job will take the wax off. and as far as that goes, if you are waxing a clear coat finish, it's really unnecessary.

    Ok, Weird thing happened this morning

    you cannot, in my experience, downshift into neutral. Neutral can only be found with a half/shift, or light touch, up from first..

    Ok, Weird thing happened this morning

    do you shift your car into neutral at every stop sign/light? Is your RT an SE or SM? Of course you can't get out of neutral without foot on brake, Fans or fan kicking on is perfectly understandable If you have been sitting there a while idling. I don't think you have any real issues here, but...

    What tire gage do you have faith in ??

    I would like a Bourbon tube gauge. Sounds yummy. I think you mean bourdan tube.

    What tire gage do you have faith in ??

    My faith is in the Lord. The most important thing about your tire gauge is "repeatability" In other words you can have a gauge that is a couple psi off, as long as it makes the same mistake every time, on all your tires. Pick one and stick with it. I like the gauge on my inflator, which has a...

    need advice about buying a Sypder

    gee whiz... for the money you are talking about, AND 42thousand miles?? You should look for a 14 or newer with the 1330 engine, or maybe for getting your feet wet try a Ryker. 2011? uh...

    Instrument panel turn indicator

    It's my understanding that the cluster is a sealed unit. I do know the indicators there are indeed worthless, as is most of the other info displayed there for my old tired eyes. Many have installed the l.e.d. mirror lights that activate with the turn signals giving a most obvious sign of the...
