• 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.

    pretty sad customer service

    Don't drink the coolaid! More proof that the spyders belt does not need tension. And sonic tension meters are a waste of money!

    BELT TENSION GAUGE - 10 lb - motorcycle

    I use this on my Spyder. 10 LBS and 3/8 to 1/2 inch deflection. It Works very well for me. Infact when I adjusted my belt to this spec all of the vibration disappeared.

    belt adjustment

    Belt tension I adjust with the rear tire off the ground. I have ridden with this low tension up to 100 MPH with no vibration. I lowered it to 150 kricket the day after I bought it new from dealer. The benefit was immediate. I still had small vibes at 65 MPH. Now at 120 kricket or less, no...

    belt adjustment

    Belt tension I keep my belt tension at 120 Kricket. I have no vibration, zero. The belt tracks perfectly at 1MM from the flange. Since lowering tension the shifting is effortless and I doubt I will ever have to replace any wheel bearings. The need for a sonic tension meter is complete...

    Oil in airbox, Possible new solution?

The spyder was apart and the weather was good so I thought if I tried my idea I would have a great excuse for a long (long) test ride. Your success with the foam was at least part of my...

    After 1500 miles my '09 RS developed the usual messy airbox. I will try to link my pictures. Its simple, 1/2" barbs male and female with stainless airater screens pressed into the joint. I used 2 screens but maybe more would be better. So far its working very well! I hope my links work. Any and...
