• 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.

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    The larger the rear pulley, the longer the belt, provided the front pulley is the same. Then we're in BUDS-buying territory. Not going to happen here unless I find a lot of change in the couch cushions!

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    Just to let you know, the F3-S belt runs over $300 new. And different models had different sized pulleys and gearing, thus different belts.

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    Are there any symptoms if the belt is too tight? Mine is set to about 180 now with the wheel on the ground, and the trike seems to ride smoothly and quietly.

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    Except that you'll lose backup memory in your cluster and if you have accessories.

    what might that procedure be? Link?

    Is this the VSS not working? Anyone experienced it before? What came of it?

    I'm going to guess, but I'd say in reverse, the Spyder becomes a less stable delta trike. That's why it may be easier to flip it.

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    I've had that dampener for a couple of years and left it alone. Are you talking about the bearing in the dampener?

    Is this the VSS not working? Anyone experienced it before? What came of it?

    Even if there was a "stupid" detector on the Nanny, it couldn't do anything about it!

    New Coolant will not circulate after refill, completing successful flush and change - anyone else? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

    All coolant, over a long period of time, can turn acidic and start to attack those surfaces it's meant to protect. That is why coolant should be changed at no longer than a 5 year interval. Also to those talking about air bubbles, when you add new coolant after draining the old, add it...

    Is this the VSS not working? Anyone experienced it before? What came of it?

    Brings an interesting question, has anyone flipped a Spyder, especially the later 1330cc ones? I haven't heard of anyone doing it except if the trike was in an accident. As for me, I've ridden rather aggressively and never so much as triggered the "nanny" lights let alone lift a wheel.

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    Thanks, there doesn't appear to be any vibration or noise. I also have a belt tensioner that rides on the top portion of the belt run.

    Rear tire mileage - How are you people getting 10,000 + miles on Kenda tires?

    It's easy to take out the fender bolts (four of them on my trike) and swing it aside. I have a 2017 F3-S

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    I've set the belt tension with the wheels on the ground, to 200 with the Krikit II. Is this too tight? The trike is a 2017 F3-S, and it seems to ride nicely.

    Rear tire mileage - How are you people getting 10,000 + miles on Kenda tires?

    I got 22k on the OEM Kenda tire, on my 2017 F3-S. It was completely gone in the center section though. I should have replaced it earlier. I never loaded down the bike or do any burnouts, but I didn't baby it either. Speaking of removing and replacing the wheel, for those who haven't done it, it...

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    Thank you! I have noticed the new tire has a better ride.

    Are you happy with your aftermarket CAR tires?

    It seems to me the stock Kenda is a cheap car tire anyway. Its shape is exactly the same as any car tire of the same size. Mine did wear out at 22k miles so I can't complain. It wore out in the center possibly because of too high pressure, according to the dealer. Anyway I replaced it with a Toy...

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    I just replaced the stock Kenda OEM rear tire on my F3-S with a Toyo Proxes car tire. The Kenda was worn out in the middle at 22,000 miles. The dealer says it was because I ran it at too high a pressure. I ran it at 30 lbs which I thought was the correct spec. Any thoughts about the Toyo car...

    Anyone have experience with Ultra1 Plus 15W50 oil for their 1330? Opinions?

    Try DEF in diesel fuel. That happens more than you think, by accident someone momentarily HUA will put the fluid in the diesel tank.

    Anyone have experience with Ultra1 Plus 15W50 oil for their 1330? Opinions?

    My advice? If you have an SE6, stick with the proper weight. You've got an HCM that's designed for that particular viscosity, and you may encounter shifting or slipping issues if you change grades.

    Another overfilled ryker by the dealer.

    I think the dealer does it that way because checking oil on the F3 anyway, is time consuming. To do it right, you have to ride the trike about 10 miles, come back and let it idle for ten minutes, turn it off and then check the oil. Dealers don't like "wasting" time. And actually, replacing the...
