• 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.

    Thanks Peter, interesting read

    Just a word to the wise about rear brake rotors.

    You should have tried Lamonster 's or Baja Ron's and got a EBC rotor. BTW, the ABS does not read off the rotor.

    Is this Rubber band feeling from stop normal? Don't notice it again once started...

    The difference you feel is the two different clutch setups between the models.

    Question about the 4 PSI rule for tire inflation

    You have to remember it's a rule of thumb. Even if you disregard the Ride-on, you are lightly loaded and you don't mention the riding conditions. If you were riding hard in twisty conditions it would raise the pressure more than a leisurely cruise down some back roads. Based on my experience...

    Confusing info in the users guide - am I missing something, or what?

    BRP does an excellent job of copy and paste from manual to manual. Sadly, it seems they completely disregard the need to employ knowledgeable proofreaders before going to press.

    I would say the yoyo competitor is well past the old walking the dog move. :giggle:

    Suggestion for new members.

    Didn't the old forum software list the persons location under their name and avatar? If a person does not want that info shown they cound just not enter it or enter just the State or the country.

    Just a balmy 105 degree F. heat index. And it's not even summer yet. Thank goodness the humidity is not high today.

    Spyda Olympics

    It seems every time I should have time to stop at the Barber Museum something comes up. Have managed the Talladega Museum multiple times and have been around the track twice on the tour bus.

    Need a low profile lift table recommendation

    From the description a 2 x 12 x2' might be all you need to add

    Question for all, and BRP - why is there not a dip stick mark for the correct oil level in a cold Spyder engine?

    I agree pretty much agree with all you typed except with too short a runtime and too low an oil temp the reservoir tank will actually indicate too little oil. This is based on time/temperature in actual test I did and it's repeatable.. This is based on the 1330 engine. The other odd thing is...

    Are people throwing better shocks at their trike first, instead of better tires?

    My experience was doing the sway bar first, big improvement. Vredestein tires front and rear, much more improvement. Stage 1 Elka's last, improvement but not as drastic as the others. Where it did absolutely shine is during hard braking it reduced the amount of nosedive making braking have...

    Might be worth the ride over. If it's a bust there's always the museum at Talladega Motor Speedway.

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    If that's the case, then the lithium battery is undersized or its useful life is over for various reasons.
