• 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.

    Howling noise coming from front middle at low speeds - any ideas?

    Mikey, thank for the response. The noise only happens when the bike is rolling forward or backward. When sitting still and slowly or aggressively revving up the engine it does not happen.

    Howling noise coming from front middle at low speeds - any ideas?

    On my 2022 RT Limited with 4,700 miles, I hear a howling sound at low speeds (lower than 10mph) and it appears to be coming from front middle going forward or backward. I jacked up each front tire and spun them and it does not re-create the noise... all I hear when spinning the tires is a slight...

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    Thanks jtoro1....I still have the issue so I am re-reading all the material in hopes I missed something. So I did get new pads on but it wobbled before that so maybe it could be the rotors....albeit like was said earlier there is no pulsing. Did your wobble only happen as certain speeds? Mine...

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    Yeah the air was checked with multiple sets of tires. So all three sets of tires, my two that were wearing out and two sets of new tires all had the correct air pressure. Nice idea tough....thanks for chiming in!

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    Interesting new mention, thanks! Did the wobble times and speeds match what I described in my original post? I had brand new brake pads put on the front with the tires....but they said the rotors were fine. Again I don't trust that dealer. I don't feel any pulsing of the brakes like when a...

    Hi, I do not see what old post you are referring to. Was it about a wobble issue? Thanks!

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    I was able to check for runout after I figured out how to and it looks good to me. That tread line stayed straight as an arrow on the straight edge on both tires and on the outside the gap stayed the exact same all the way around. Thanks for the tip I learned something. The issue sure seems...

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    Thanks BajaRon. I will keep everyone on this thread posted on what I find out or do with the Spyder. I may just trade it in to the Dealer that thinks there is nothing wrong and let it be their problem. The only issue is that Spyder inventory is low and they are not giving any deals these...

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    Thanks askitee! Mine does not stray from side to side like a pull or drift you get in a car sometimes...it stays straight as an arrow and then will start to wobble during certain speeds up and down. I am thinking ball joints may be an easy try first...then maybe wheel bearings should be...

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    Thanks for the feedback. This is definitely not a vibration and I don't really feel any vibrations at all speeds. It is a wobble of the front end at times to the point where the back of the fenders are wobbling like crazy as well as feeling the front of the bike and steering jolt around. I...

    Pete thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed reply. Especially describing how to test for runout and roundness. I plan to check that this week and can report back later in the week. You rock!

    Front end wobble issue. Please help!

    Yeah, I spun the wheels and watched the tread and sidewalls and everything looks really smooth. I am not sure how to properly check for runout with this hand/eye inspection. My old tires had the wobble, and the first set of new tires did not fix it and now this is a brand new set and it still...

    Thanks Chris....I tried your suggestions and everything is really solid...so still stumped...of course this is an untrained eye looking at things. The air pressure is perfect as well.
