Agreed, although I think I've committed that sin a time or two. I do try though. Just makes sense.

They just haven't figured out everything yet; give them a little patience and time. ;)
i try to re-read what i wrote before hitting submit just making sure it sounds correct i've read many post/replys and really could'nt make out what they were saying words were so badly scrambled in a sentence,so i say take that extra min and re-read before you hit submit,the better we understand your problem the better the answers will be.

I see this same thing all over the internet when looking at information, parts and accessories, for the Spyder. Many people fail to list what type of Spyder the accessory is for and you are left deciphering it on your own. Fortunately I have gotten pretty good at figuring it out, but there are still times when I have to ask questions about it.
The main thing I found is if you ask them to post that information, they are usually more than happy to do so. :D
:agree: They usually get it quickly..Quote:

"Well I have this thing on my Spyder that is not doing what it's supposed to do. What should I do? It's kind of round in a square way and it located near the back under the front wheel on the other side from the dangly thing that you operate with your foot. Oh yeah the Spyder is a 2007 RT". Well is that what you all mean?
You were the worst I suggested they ban you but nobody listens? :dontknow:Quote:

Part of the problem is unfamiliarity with how things get fixed.

If you have not figured it out yet I used to be a parts counter guy and have had automotive experience with passenger, light truck, medium duty and heavy trucks. The worst is heavy trucks because you have so many options available to use.
"Poster Police". That's the first time I have ever been called that one,roflmao I'll accept that one with the honor intended by the giver! 😃 lets declare this a dead thread and move on to helping those that are more then us OF's ........
:thumbup:
Lol, it is an honor. I was called that on the Hayabusa and GSXR site. Been waiting to use it. Thread is dead......Quote:
