• 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.

    Tire Wear

    Tires are great I just rode 3600 miles with my new from tires. I checked tread depth before I left, and again after i returned. There is very little wear, with there being slightly more wear on the insides. ( not enough to see with the naked eye).The laser alignment no doubt fixed my problem...

    Tire Wear

    Next Chapter At 10950 miles I just put on my 3rd set of tires. After having it lazer aligned, I wanted to go ahead and run my old tires down to nothing. After the alignment, it has been tight in the corners. I had them re-set the DPS with the new tires, and the tightness is gone. Runs smooth...

    Tire Wear

    I went to the dealer today to see how much it would cost to re-set the DPS because I had it lazer aligned. $ 85.00. I don't have any codes or anything, so I think I will just ride it the way it is until I need tires again. I will ride it through the winter and put new rubber on to start next...

    Dan in Salem did a great job on the lazer alignment. What a big improvement in the ride down the highway. If you live in Oregon or Northern California, check it out. It is a pretty ride this time of year too.

    Tire Wear

    Just rode the 300 miles last Thurs. and had my front end lazer aligned. It will take some miles to see if the tire wear problem is solved. What I did notice, is that it no longer wanders, jumps from side to side,or lurches all over the lane. It is also much tighter in the corners. Bottom line...

    Tire Wear

    I live in Northern CA. and would gladly ride to OR. or WA. if you know someone up there that can align this correctly. In fact, I will go anywhere under 3-4 K. ( That's as far as I can go without tire service). LOL. Not really funny, but I don't like to cry. I am 66, ride to have fun, but don't...

    Tire Wear

    3k on new tires and showing lots of wear on inside of both. Had them rotated to buy time, but won't fix the problem. I might get 5-6 K out of this set. Dealer again says it is fine, normal, and set right. I have raced cars, sold tires, and done front end alignments in the past, so I know they...

    Tire Wear

    I would love to try it but your dealers are so far away I would have to stop and buy tires to get there. I am convinced it is toe in,out. Both new tires are wearing on inside. They are half gone at 3K.

    Tire Wear

    Thanks again. I think I will just run these into the ground, then go to a different dealer, get the alignment and new tires. I agree that rotation is a waste of time and money, and could create other problems. At least the tires aren't very spendy. That helps. It's hard to put a price tag on...

    Tire Wear

    Called two dealers today, both well over 200 miles away. One said he had the equipment to align the front end. However, they both told me not to bother, that 5000 miles on front tires was not out of the norm. One said I just need to rotate them ever 2000 miles. It would be cheaper to just buy...

    Tire Wear

    Thanks for your help. The next closest dealer is 200 miles, but I think it is worth a try. and a ride. It is clear that the local dealer is all wet. Glad you told me about the sensors. I was going to take it to a laser alignment frame shop, but that would only solve half the problem. I will need...

    Tire Wear

    They wear on the inside. I am running 18 lbs of pressure. I weigh 165, and shocks were set on middle notch. Book says lighter for my weight so I moved to second notch when I put these tires on at 5K. They are wearing the same as the first set. The dealer checked the front end and says all is...

    Tire Wear

    Thanks. I weigh 165. Shocks are set on second notch. The tires wear on the inside. I replaced at 5 K and am going to need another set at 10K. Any idea what the toe in/out is supposed to be? Rides great, but doesn;t seem right to me.
