• 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.

    Why would the clock self-reset to 24 HR format? Fixes? Ideas?

    Why would the clock self-reset to 24 HR format? Fixes? Ideas?

    I am not sure why my clock resets to 24 hr format. The time doesn't change (stays accurate). My only guess is low voltage on startup. It is a 2019, 14k miles. Original battery, starts normal.

    Shift lever stripped out..... again! What's causing it to re occur?

    To get home, Try wrapping the shaft with Teflon tape. It will take up some of the over clearance, and prevent further rubbing wear.

    Planning next trip WI, MN, ND, SD, & maybe MT - any good riding maps?

    I go the specific state websites, there always seems to be a tourism link with free downloadable maps or a link to have a vacation packet sent to your address.

    Tarp or No Tarp?

    I have a 12 ft enclosed utility trailer. The R/t wouldn't fit, but my F3 will. It is just as good as a garage because it is sealed from all of the moisture found in either rainy or snowy seasons.

    Considering a trailer

    The lightest weight per strength, lowest center of gravity, is where you start. Then there is price, that should be your third, not the first concern.

    The .... NEW ... Quatrac tire

    I'll be interested to hear if the new Quatrac is better/worse than the Q5. It is a totally different tread design. I supposed it will take a few months before the reviews can come in.

    New Wis plate

    The "Auto cycle" class kind of got started by the now failed Elio brand. Many considerations, one being: why would you wear a helmet inside an enclosed climate-controlled vehicle?

    Motorcycle Camelbak

    On my Valkyrie, I put mine in a tank bag. On the Spyder, I have a small styro cooler I put it into. It works great for me. I am in my 70s and drove across South Dakota in 90+ heat for 13 hours. Staying highlighted is the key! There are waterproof soft-sided bags made for cans that can easily be...

    What Tire Pressures for OEM Kendas?

    If you are a lighter rider, go with the lower pressure as that will give you the maximum grip in sharp turns. It allows more flexibility of the sidewalls which will keep more tread gripping the pavement.
