• 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.

    Bajaron on vacation?

    Does anyone know if Bajaron is on vacation or out of town? I sent him an email on the 4th re; some wires and hoses for my '13 ST and haven't heard back. He is usually right on things like that. I have a little intermittent miss I'm truing to track down.

    Yeah, sorry for that one. I just didn't look before I stuck my foot in my mouth.

    Where have you found the Altimax, I don't see that brand listed at either Tire Rack or Discount Tire?

    New Tires

    I think I will be replacing front and rear this winter on my '13 ST. Looking at the Quatrac 5 from tire rack but don't see a 205-60R15. They do show a 205-50. I think that might throw off the suspension and speedometer. What about running that 205-65, might that crowd the fender a bit? I am...

    Spyder RT 2013 Owners - did the Recalls fix the issues?

    OK, me too. We have a 13 ST SE5 bought brand new. Currently have 46k miles on it. Like others, once the heat issue and the brake switch was fixed, all was well. Well almost. The '13s had a terrible suspension. I replaced with Elka stage 2 and have never looked back. No intentions of...

    Luggage Frame Bolt Pops Loose - 15 ST Limited

    I have a '13 ST and have had the same problem. 1 Make sure you are using the 3 sided wrench wrench that came with it. 2 Follow the above instructions from others to seat the screws (bollts). 3 You have NOT lost a nut for the other end of the screw.

    Thinking of making a trade

    Wyllec Not even an option. I can't hardly get out the door with the key in my hand without my B.H. She thinks that I can just figure out how to put arm rests on the ST (like we had on the Goldwing) and with a Ultimate seat, all will be well. NOT SO MUCH. Wahrsuul That is why I...

    Thinking of making a trade

    Yeah, I am leaning toward the RT if it loads OK and if I can tie it down in the bed of the pickup properly (sounds crazy huh). I think I will be able to find a riding partner who is willing to let me try to load their bike and if all goes well, a RT may be in our future.

    Thinking of making a trade

    Sorry I've been away so long. We've been on the road and busy for the last couple weeks. I'm not sure I could make the F3 comfortable for me. I have never liked the cruiser position. But can anyone here ferret out the dry weight of the F3 limited? I have not had any luck finding that. As...

    Smoother Performance Adjustments or Upgrades

    OK, my personal experience. I have a '13 ST-L. When new, wallowed around like a '68 Chrysler. First I put BajaRon sway bar and links. Amazing difference. No more wallow. I have to say here that my alignment has always been good. I got 28K miles on my front Kendas and expect to do as well...

    Belt tension

    Will that hurt the accuracy?

    Thinking of making a trade

    Ahhh, we're not done yet. I had my ST-L on the scales yesterday with a full tank of gas and it scaled 950, +- 10 lbs. Truck scales are only so accurate. So, bushrat, if your number is correct, the F3 might be the way to go for me. I admit not wanting much more weight than I have now. I...

    Thinking of making a trade

    Thanks for the heads up on the F3. I will be weighing my ST in the next couple days and see where I can go from here. Are the F3s generally heavier or lighter than the RTs when comparably dressed?

    Thinking of making a trade

    OK, I've got to do some thinking. I also need to get ours weighed. Real weight not what specs say. Our lift is near its max weight and so I have to keep that in mind also. All these details. And Just as I expected, our local dealer is NOT interested in my ST as a trade. Guess I can't...

    Thinking of making a trade

    Thanks for the input. I had kind of "shelved" the idea of the F3 models as I was told none of them have a Cruise control. A must for me. I use it all the time. We have air hawks currently and swear by (not at) them. As we only day trip between 100 to 200 miles max, the cured the seat...

    Thinking of making a trade

    I can see that the arm rests add a lot of stability. They did on our wing. Does anyone know if arm rests are available for the ST? That and a new Ultimate seat with back rests would pretty well fix the problem. We still basically love the bike since we did the suspension.

    Thinking of making a trade

    We are currently riding a '13 STL with 43K miles. The "we" is important here as the primary reason we are thinking of making a trade is that my wife has trouble staying planted in the saddle if I "zip" at all around curves. With the Baja Ron sway bar and Stage 2 Elka suspension all around, it...

    Needing a Ultimate seat

    OK, I am interested but would like more info. It looks like from your picture that the stock passenger grab bars remain in place. Am I seeing this correct? Why are you interested in going back to a stock seat? Don't you find the Ultimate seat comfortable? Next question: Do you ride mostly...

    Needing a Ultimate seat

    So I have been informed that the stock seat with Airhawks is no longer getting the job done. From my past experience, my rear end has never been happy on a Corbin seat so the Ultimate seems like the way to go. Does any of you out there have a decent Ultimate seat with both driver and passenger...

    I'm thinking about new shocks

    What we purchased was the full Monte. Shock and spring complete. As a matter of fact, when we ordered them through the dealer, we filled out a rather complete questionnaire about our weights, riding style and one vs two up styles and percentages. They came pretty well preset for us. After...
