• 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.

    The Auto Downshift is irritating for changes to 2nd & 1st - can anything be done to block those down-shifts?

    What bikes did you do 300K on? That matters. Yes, the 1300 ACE engine can run at less than 3,500 RPM. And it won't complain. But depending on how and when you do this, over time you will get clogged injectors and carbon buildup on your valves and pistons. (Top piston ring too if it gets really...

    Ah! What's a little extra breeze when friends are involved?

    Would you pay full price on a '25 F3S this late in the year?

    The F3S is a great choice. I'm biased because that's what I ride. (When I'm not on my GS, that is)

    That would be great. I was hoping he might be close enough to go pick it up myself. But with the workload, etc. He's just too far away. I have to go to Charlotte Wednesday to pick up an order of shocks. But he's still a long way from there. If someone does decide they can do this. Or even meet...

    Yes, they certainly do.

    Thank you for the reply. Please don't give out any more specific information here on the public portion of the forum. Sadly, it's just good practice these days. You are a long way from me or anywhere I need to be. The closest I get is Charlotte, and I plan to be there on Wednesday. I was really...

    Sunday morning thinking out loud - on my Third Spyder, making the move from Two Wheels was a good choice for me!

    Like I tell people. If you like the stock setup, don't ever ride one with upgrades. It will cost you! ;)

    Had a New Piece of Bling Made!

    Oh my! Well, you asked for it. It goes way back. So I'm never sure where to start. My brother Don came home from his stint in the Army (Germany) in the mid 70's. He had a very bad attitude. I let him move in with me at the apartment I had then. He was going to buy a VW bus, a surf board, and...

    Just found these RPM levels for the 1330

    Here is a news flash. We have gotten some bikes in with a great deal of carbon buildup on the valves and pistons. The 1330 doesn't burn oil. And it wouldn't get to the valves anyway unless it was coming through the emissions system. But when you lug the engine, you're creating a big problem...

    2024 RTL - The ride is a bit rough

    My 2008 Premier Edition GS had a few things not attached. The one that played the most havoc was the ambient air sensor. It was strapped to a frame component near the header pipe. I wrote it off to being a new machine. A one of a kind, at that point in the process. But it's been 17 years. I...

    I'm only thinking that I might be able to help. Depending on where @solidgranite lives. I'm hoping I can. We'll see if he gets back to me. Very impressed that others want to be a part of this. However this goes, I want to say thank you guys. Not much heart-warming news these days. But we don't...
