• 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.

    Best upgrade so far

    This is the cheapest enhancement I have made to my rt so far. It changed the handling like nothing else. The change was simply to put air in the front tires. My dealer told be to run the fronts between 11 and 14 pounds. After looking at the tire sticker the spec says 20psi +- 2psi. So I...

    Rev Limit 2014

    I am thinking another top speed run might not be the best idea as your only going to maybe get a few miles more per hour and it might not be worth the risk. I would say if it was at a drag strip or track go for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Full speed on the Autobahn

    It appears that about 101 MPH is the safe top end speed for this motorcycle as was designed. Bragging would be.... OMG.... I just ripped down a highway full of traffic doing 180 MPH. Not I went down to an undisclosed location to see how fast she would go. The undisclosed location could...

    Full speed on the Autobahn

    The Spyder F3 is supposed to compete with the cruisers out there not the sport bikes. At 134 MPH it is one fast cruiser. My cruiser with an 1450 only did about 105 MPH. As you could not even come close to the RPMs that the sport bikes can turn. Totally different categories you are...

    Rev Limit 2014

    There is plenty of power for normal cruising and two up riding. I just wanted to see what she would do. No plans on doing that again. Hmmm. I as told that as the belt breaks in it will start making harmonic noises as certain speeds and I hear mine at around 75 to 77 MPH it goes away if...

    Rev Limit 2014

    Good to know about the 6k and shifting. At least your top speed results are consistent with mine. Think it has plenty of power for cruising and not really built to be a racer. I am happy with the power it has for a touring machine. Smooth and quite as well Sent from my iPhone using...

    Rev Limit 2014

    I have that same vibration at around 75 MPH as soon as I hit 80 - 85 the vibration is gone again. It has to be the belt. Speaking of top speed, I just so happened to see how fast I could go yesterday and I only got to 101 MPH on the 2014 RT Ltd and acceleration from around 90 - 95 MPH dropped...

    Full speed on the Autobahn

    Yesterday afternoon at an undisclosed location I took my 2014 RT Ltd and had it going 101 MPH. Had to see how fast it would go. It accelerated to 92 MPH before the acceleration dramatically slowed then it took a bit to creep up to 101 MPH. I figured not too much more than that would...

    First Farkel

    The locks work great. I took the advise of Finless Bob and carry my helmet covers so nothing gets inside. Now I need to search for the next one. Perhaps my next Farkel will be an F3. :doorag:
