• 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.

Rear Tire Help

Recently installed the 205/60/15 on the rear, first time 2 up riding yesterday. When hitting bumps the tire appears to be hitting the rear shock. I can just get my finger between the shock and tire. 2016 RTL

The tire can't hit the rear shock unless something is broken ….. Not that this matters but ….What brand tire ? …. the RT-L has a rear air Bag …. is the compressor working ?? - if not you probably don't have enough air in it..... possibly a leak, which you might not notice when ride single ….. Mike :ohyea:
 
Interesting....🤔

Does look awfully close but not likely hiting the tire when ryding. :agree: there have been those with compressor and airbag issues that have had fender hits when ryding two up. I believe you can check the air pressure from under the seat to see where it is at and if it needs adjusting or the leveling sensor connection. :thumbup:
 
The tire is the Quatrac 5. I think you may have nail it yet again. There is only a little clearance between the tire shock I could not figure out how that is possible. The compressor is raising and lowering the bike. I raised and lower it a few time and have been bouncing up and down on and have not been able to get to bottom out again yet. I'm only 180 and wife is 125 I don't see that being the problem:2thumbs: We will ride again today and see if we can duplicate it.
 
I played with the Airbag switch and without riding yet, I have been bouncing up and down and have not been able to duplicate the problem we will ride later today and see what happens.
