• 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.

    201.5 miles on a tank

    It wasn't exactly planned. I chose to go to a gas station a couple miles closer than my normal station. When a gust of wind hit me,I was sure I was going to be pushing. I don't want to try it again.

    201.5 miles on a tank

    The last bar on the fuel gauge disappeared. "Feed Me" light had been on for thirty miles. I could only get 5.4 gallons in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    STS Mirror problem

    From memory: Remove the clear wind deflector Remove the body colored panel below the mirror. To remove mirror, give a sharp rap straight up. The farther away from the body the better. This will dislodge the bottom two pins that hold the mirror in place. They are held by springs. The sharp...

    Thinking about taking the plunge. Which model year(s) should I consider?

    I see you are from New Mexico. If you are near Roswell, you can come sit on my ST to see if you like the fit. In my experience, the ST is more laid back than the RS. You do not have to reach as far forward to reach the handlebars.

    Taller windshield

    I installed a calsci large windshield. Gas mileage was not hurt. In fact I think it is better. The windshield is more aerodynamic than I am. Repairing the windshield sliding down is not that hard. Some time and four small washers are all you need. I posted a thread on how to fix the sliding...

    Sold as a kit without the trailer frame. Kits start at $1500. More info: http://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/development-projects/clc-teardrop-trailer.html I have seen one of their kits for a sailboat. It was very well made.

    heated grips

    I added the factory heated grips to my ST. The wires for the heat pads run from the outside of the grip into a small groove cut into a short black piece (6") of round bar that is bolted to the main handle bar. You cannot see this piece until you take the bars apart. After exiting the black...

    little help with panels?

    That panel is held in place by the mirror. So...you need to remove the mirrors. Remove the clear air deflectors. Remove the tupperware from the mirrors. Give the mirror a sharp rap straight up and the two lower mirror mounts will release. Mirror is now loose. Unplug wiring harness and...

    Need help identifing wire harness connetors

    Both grip heater connections are near your #2 but forward on the bike. Mine had a green and white wire to each connector. There was about one inch of wire exposed. The connector was black and shaped like a rectangle. The wiring for the switch is already run to the blank near the parking brake...

    STS cruise

    For the ST at least, you can take the right hand switch apart, remove the "dummy" switch and replace with the working switch from the new donor assembly. The black piece in my hand is all that needs to be changed. The white rectangle above my hand is the actual Cruise Control electronic...

    rss cruise control

    Any of the Fly By Wire throttles have cruise. You may need to modify or change the right side switch to activate the cruise. Any of the cable throttles can have cruise added. Rostra is one brand that comes to mind.
