• 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 brake pads???

    I change my brake pads with every tire change. Like mentioned above pads are cheap. I have yet to have a brake problem with any bike I have owned. I also inspect the rotors and have them turned or replaced as necessary.

    Sad day.

    Just my $.02 you should also demand loss of use if they don't give you a rental until the bike is repaired. When the insurance company screwed around after my ctx was totaled I demanded and got $500 a month for the three months for loss of use. They will claim it is a recreation vehicle and so...

    What tools would you put in a Medium sized Tool Roll?

    I use the tools in the tool kit as a guide to what to buy. I replace the original tools with better quality and more suited to use on the bike. Then add more tools as I find I need them. The allen wrenches, for example, in the original tool kit are too short for oil changes. I prefer the t...

    Looking for waterproof riding (over) bibs/pants recommendations

    I would suggest frog togs. I have a pair of coveralls that are great for rain. My jackets I wear are water resistant but in Arizona the combination works great.

    Is the first service really needed to be done by the dealer?

    I don't think so but keep all your records. If you have a problem while under warranty you may need to prove the maintenance was done.

    oil question

    My buddy picked up oil for a change on my spyder. He picked up a full synthetic euro blend meeting API SN/CF requirements. It is not a motorcycle oil. would it be ok in a 2011 spyder with the 990 engine and se5 transmission.

    Looks like we lost a rider to a drunk driver......

    I agree letting them out is a huge legal error. There was a woman here in Tucson who had been arrested several times for drunk driving. She killed a young biker about a mile from my house while driving drunk. She is out today due to being someone "important". The young biker she killed was...
