• 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.

    2014 RT Ltd - ACS - should I Disable it before it fails?

    I had a '13 RTL that had one failed pump, two failed checkvalves (one was the "upgraded" check-valve) and I decided to just switch it to manual fill, ran straight airline from the top of the bag to the bottom of the schraeder valve under the seat. Didn't have to do any BUDS alteration at all. I...

    We talked about a new rear tire for me. I bought one. But is this typical of Kendas?

    I take it that what you're meaning is that this is a pic of the OLD original Kenda that you replaced with a better automotive replacement rear tire? yes my '13 RTL rear looked like this at 8,800 my replacement Altimax 43 didn't even show wear at 24,000 miles. What Recommended Tire did you get?

    Anyone tried the Hornet Electric Deer Whistle?

    I seem to remember that Pennsylvania State Police tried the whistles on their cruisers (years ago) and at lower speeds they "believed" they had some effect. But if you're driving 55 plus I doubt the whistles could project out ahead of the vehicle. I too would rather put $150 into some Denali...

    How does 3” rubber fernco cap protect airbag?

    When the cap (or air bag cup) is installed in the bike with the air bag and bike's weight on it, the bottom of the bag seals the inner opening of the cup and blocks stones etc from getting under the cup. My '13 RTL had one of the original Roadster Renovations' Air Ryde Rock Armor air bag cups...

    Will the RLS Echo Muffler stop the Drone noise?

    MandyTuning, please post about your outcome. I've been waiting for an aftermarket Akrapovic alternative and I think the RLS Echo series is it. Also are you getting a chrome or ceramic coated version?

    Will the RLS Echo Muffler stop the Drone noise?

    You might also consider doing a titanium header wrap on your cat delete and tuned pipe on the 1330 models. I did this on my '18 RTL (though still using the stock final exhaust) and it helped alleviate some heat as well as deepend the exhaust note.

    So that happened. Passed out from the heat.

    Slice, was that the 2022's stock Kenda tire that bared itself that quickly? 10k miles to cords is what each of my original Kenda rear tires did, my General Altimax on my 13 still looked new after 24k. (PS, I'm a heavy 260lbs so expect to wear rear tires a bit faster than most healthy folks....)

    Has anyone done their own Rear Tire change? How difficult?

    I have removed my rear wheel and tire assembly and taken it to the local Tire shop to change the tire on the wheel. I did use a maintenance manual (not the Operators manual) and several Youtube videos to prepare for the job. I had to get a special open end wrench big enough but it is doable in...

    What the heck is going on with my '22 RTL Gutless wonder? Anyone?

    Funny, I was thinking 3rd gear to start a pass at 60ish, then 4th or 5th to finish it. Also how many miles does the motor have on it.? Someone hear determined that the 1330's don't really finish breaking in until several thousand miles of riding. I don't think I've ever attempted passing in...

    AMA Membership card, cordless tire pump, factory tool kit, work gloves (so I don't get oil or grease on my driving/ryding gloves).
