• 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.

    19 MPG ?!?

    mpg the service rep at the dealer told me to keep nozzle in the tank about 3/4s of an inch so you don't over fill it, seems to be working, he said you can't top it off like a regular 2 wheeler.

    35mph- what gear?

    lugging this all goes by my personal expierence, you can tell when the engine is lugging, as long as the engine is 2700rpms or above i don't have any problems with it, i broke my engine in very easy, that may be the reason. if i am at 37mph in 5th gear. and if i need to move in a hurry i just...

    19 MPG ?!?

    take it to the dealer if you are not hot rodding the engine you should be geting mpg in the mid 30s. yes this bike has a high redline but it also has a lot of torque. you can shift between gears at 2700rpm. if you use the torque this engine will get acceptable mpg if you use higher rpms if will...

    35mph- what gear?

    mph as long as the engine rpm is at least 2700 you can switch to the next gear, i am in new mexico at 5000ft alt. and you can tell by listening to the engine. thats why i get between 37 and 40 mpg. you will have no problem shifting into 5th gear at 36mph. i can shift into 5th at 35mph. listen...

    saw the RT today

    rpms the big thing i was hoping they would do is make the 5th gear an overdrive as far asi can tell they did not. if i was going to buy an rt which i am not that would be a definite deal breaker for me. with all that torque you could easily cruise at 75 mph at 4500 rpm. and if you wanted to...

    belt tension

    today i found a 36 mm socket at sears for only 9 bucks, it was a craftsman too. i wasnot able to lift the rear of the bike so i just rolled it back and forth to set the adjustment. my belt was running against the flange so i turned the right side allen head 1 full turn clockwise. i marked the...

    RT Performance

    torque according to lamont the torque comes on quicker, once you get rolling the extra weight wont matter as much. plus as far as i can tell from the posts i've read the gearing is the same as before, 5500 rpms at 75 mph. this gearing was only thing that bothered me about my spyder. on the new...

    ? fairing and "RT" package from F1

    fi i like the F1 MANTIS better, looks like more protection. the only thing i would change is the color from a single color to a 2tone to break up the lines a little. maybe make the middle V BLACK. the HP fairing does not look any bigger than a windshield. only time will tell. plus how do...

    Fairing for our current models

    5 th gear thank you firefly you made my point. with the amount of torque and 9500rpm redline with forthought they could have easily made the 5th gear an overdrive and satisfied people like me also.
