• 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.

    Riding a Spyder and a Harley Trike

    I'll second that one my friend came over after buying a new HD, looked great then when he went to leave after what ever you do to get it in reverse he started backing out (VERY SLOWLY) and it sounded like some kid of a wind up toy as it chugged it's way up the driveway.

    What is your belt gap?

    To me that's perfect not hitting the inner flange or running off the outer edge, also don't care where it goes when backing up cause I don't often drive down the road backwards, as long as that's about where it is whenever you check your good to go.

    Engine downshift as a brake

    I take it you weren't to successful, had you bliped the throttle a bit to match engine RPMs to the next lower gear you wouldn't have wheel hop. As for people with SE trans does your trans go from 5th or 6th to 1st when coming to a stop or does it auto downshift as you slow ?? Question answered...

    Engine downshift as a brake

    I've always downshifted to slow down, you will use more clutch slipping the clutch from a stop than you will ever use downshifting, that's just let it out and it's locked, same with the belt one constant pressure holding back the bike not 115 hp trying to get up to the speed limit or more, also...

    Correct F3 Belt tension info

    I've been looking for a clear answer sense I bought mine a year ago, I guess there are none so I went with 180 on the ground and that's where it's staying no matter who comes up with whatever answer.
