• 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.

    stale gas

    gas mileage Well guess what after 8000 miles on spyder l have fueled up quite a few times. This average wasn't based on one tank of fuel. My concern was why the average changed so much on each fill up, my rideing stile is the same and l fill up tank the same way each time. So why the big...

    stale gas

    stale fuel We have ethanol based fuel here so that's bad to start with. I took off my cat.converter so was hopeing for better mileage, didn't get it so thought l try fuel treatment. Used Startron Enzyme fuel treatment and it made a difference. From 36 mpg low to 46mpg high. I find it hard to...

    Is that thing safe!

    it saved my butt! Got to say that l I'm glad l have a spyder because two days ago, a deer came out of ditch and ran into my right front wheel. Lucky for me it only bent front fender brace and left blood on the side of bike. If l was on 2 wheels l would have went down! Dennis

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    shifter OK, my floorboards do not move. They are tight both sides. Maybe the bolt you're using is to long and bottoming out inside the floorboard mount before it tightens up everything. I've been thinking this over and l remember the floorboard mount fits against the framework in only one way...

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    shift fix I put flat washer on both ends but no lock washer, did tighten it up quite a bit. Was going to use locktite but didn't want to take apart again as it works fine. Will keep a close eye on the floorboards if it gets loose will use locktite. Hope you can get it working in the near future.

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    correction Sorry, l didn't get the fix worded right. To start with l had to cut a inch off the right side bolt to get it out. Then the rivco bolt was to short so went to store for longer one. So l used the right side rivco bolt for the fix on left side, it worked great for me. Quite happy...

    Floorboards 2014 RT SM6

    gear shift Yes l had the same problem, l installed a heel toe shifter then the rivco floorboard on my RTs-sm6. The shifter was stiff and hard to shift. I took it apart and installed flat washer on both sides of shaft or bolt then used stock bolt from right side to install. The rivco bolt...
