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.

Congratulations, I loved my '09 RS. It's a great ride. I upgraded to the RT so my sweetie would have a more comfortable ride on the back during those frequent long hauls.
Ride in comfort,

Welcome!
The best tip I got as a newbie was to inflate the front tires to 19 psi and set the front shocks to 5 (highest setting), really improves handling. Also, the Fox shocks (standard on the RS-S) are another big improvement (Elkas also get rave reviews but are a tad pricey). Finally BajaRon's (a sponsor of this site) sway-bar is according to everyone I've heard who's tried it (I've actually got one, now just need the time to install it!) the final missing piece for outstanding handling in the curves.
Sorry, I know it seems like a lot of suggested changes for a new bike, but the dramatic difference is hard to describe. Before the change in pressure and shock setting, the handling was bad enough that I thought I had made a big mistake buying the Spyder. After those minor changes, it was pretty much what I had expected, after the Fox shocks it was even better, and from what I hear once I install the swaybar it will be all I had hoped and dreamed (OK that's a bit dramatic but you get my drift).
That mouthful said, Congratulations, great looking bike, and with a few minor alterations, an absolute blast to ride.

Thanks for the tips i will definitely try that. My dealer told me they had good luck with 18 psi, so 19 is probably better. My wife and I are looking forward to trying this thing out!

The only thing that I really feel good "Terminating", is the pile of snack foods in the 'Fridge! :thumbup:
Ooh! :shocked: Habanero cheese and kielbasa... I'll be back! :roflblack:
