• 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.

    gas cap issues

    I have 8200 miles on my RTS SE5 and am on my 3rd gas cap. On the first 2, the seal split, almost as if it was cut. It is impossible to overtighten the cap with the ratchet on it. Had the tech at the dealer look at it and the tank and he cannot see any place on the lip of the tank that may be...

    Gas odor

    Had this same gas smell on mine when I first got it. At about 3000 miles, had to replace the gas cap as the seal on it broke in two. Have not noticed the gas smell since, now at 6100 miles. However, it is extremely hard to fill completely as gas spews from the vents when trying to fill. Have...

    Rear tire wear?

    Just passed the 6100 mile mark on my Spyder RTS after a 3100 mile journey through British Columbia and Alberta Canada. Noticed the center tread wear on the rear tire you are talking about.

    Heated gear

    Thanks for the heads up, I should check on our gear(SYNERGY) for ratings. 650W dont seem like enough. will check for that cd aswell. On my 1500 we upgraded alt to the comp-u-fire. do you think they'll do something like that for rt's.
