• 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.

    Can I spin balance with Ride On installed? What’s proper F3 belt tension?

    You can remove the Ride-0n by dismounting the tire and just scooping it out. But, as mentioned above, if your tire is not round, quite common with the OEM Kenda's, then you will never be able to balance it. If the bike has been sitting for a while, then you have to ride it for a few miles to...

    Are 165/60/15 Vredstein's the correct front tire for a 2023 RT-L?

    Not sure if this applies. But do not offer information on where you are going to mount these tires or Tire Rack will not sell them to you.

    Does a Lithium Battery work in a 2008 GS? What Lithium Battery did you use?

    Of course, a lithium battery will work on your Spyder. Just get a good one. There are several out there that do a fine job.

    After Honest Feedback on BajaRon's Ultra Sway Bar for a 2021 F3-S (300lbs solo rider)?

    I have several customers who tell me that they started going faster after the upgrade and didn't realize it until their riding buddies could no longer keep up. Faster can actually seem slower with the right suspension. It does feel good.

    Betwixt and Bewildered - how do I get the codes off 2008 GS?

    CopperSpyder gives a good place to start. With more information, a more precise answer may be possible. BUDS would be an excellent place to start. Even if a shop won't work on your Spyder, they should be willing to hook it up to BUDS.

    My 2011 RSS is Running Rich, but I can't open the older threads on this!? Any ideas?

    Well, Lamont & I joined forces long before he built this website. We've been like family for a very long time. It's difficult to diagnose over the Internet. But I would start with the 2 small vacuum hoses on the left side of the throttle body. If they have not been replaced, they can give you...

    Mysterious drive belt adjustment change

    Most recalls seemed to do OK with this lack of cure time. With the time and mileage you've got, I'd say you're safe, though it's never a bad idea to take a look now and then for the Red Dust of Death! On the other hand, we had a few customers who had the recall done, some with no evidence of a...

    Just When You Think You've Seen It All...

    Is it just the inner pad that is thin, or both inner and outer. If they are not close to being the same thickness, then you've got a caliper issue. Be sure the slides are clean and lubed with a thin coat of Anti-Seize. Otherwise, the disparity of wear may increase. If the inner pad is dragging...

    Engine Oil - What Amsoil products are you using?

    This is interesting, Troop. What kind of difference did you see between these 2 viscosities?

    What tips/Snags will a local motorcycle tire shop need/meet doing a Spyder Rear Tire replacement?

    If you remove the rear wheel yourself, it is a good idea to mark the rubber bumper inserts so that they can go back where they came from. Sometimes it doesn't seem to matter, but other times it does. Trial and error or fighting them can be a chore. If you put a sealant or balancing gel in your...

    No First Gear after unloading from the trailer - what do I check and how do I fix it?

    What Snowbelt Spyder said. This is common with trailered Spyders as this bracket hangs low right in the center of the bike making it very susceptible to hanging up when loading or unloading, depending on the angle of the drop gate. We usually jack the front of the trailer up if the angle is too...

    Anybody see a measurable change in fuel mileage with larger diameter rear tire?

    Sounds like you're letting it 'Cure' in the heat! I think you will find it actually does more good on the bike than it does in the box... :cool:
