• 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.

    Anyone here been stopped for using a Brake Free unit?

    I can’t speak for Canada’s laws. In the US anything that protrudes more than 5mm will invalidate your helmets certification. Depending on your state helmet laws that could be where you run into trouble. I worked with Federal, state, and local law enforcement for officers for several decades...

    Reverse Not Working Intermittently (Reverse Actuator Assembly)

    When the reverse actuator on my 2014 had to be replaced the technician also had to hook it up to buds and ride around town with a laptop sitting on his lap to do some kind of calibration. I assume something to do with the shift points? I would let the dealer handle it.

    New Spyder dealership in Abilene Texas, Lone Star Powersports. They also have a store in Amarillo. They have two locations in New Mexico, Clovis and Roswell (under the name of Zia Powesports). Just had my 28000 mile service and brake fluid changed in Abilene. Service staff was very friendly...

    Dealer changed service staff - now refuses to install ANY auto tire on a Spyder.

    Try Clem’s power sports in Enumclaw, they have always mounted tires on my RT. I just bring the tire in with me.

    Looking for dealer with good service dept in Central TX

    After 40 year absence from TX in Washington, just moved back. There are 2 dealerships each about 100 miles away from me. One in San Angelo and one in Granbury. Can anyone recommend either of their service departments? Thanks

    It's Happened Before, First For Me

    Bad latch I had mine in for service a few weeks ago, fluids and tires, asked them to adjust right saddle bag because it would open even on smooth roads. Did not matter whether it was locked or not it would pop open on the road even though when it was locked you could not open it by pulling on...

    M/C License - Yes/No?

    Not true. In Washington there are separate 2 and 3 wheel endorsements. The 2 wheel does not cover both.

    US imposes 300% import tariff on Bombardier

    This is nothing new, Boeing, Airbus, the Brazilian aircraft maker, all have been in and out of these disputes for years. They drag on for years before being settled (sometimes by the WTO) and all of them have won and lost decisions against each other. Airbus has a big part to play in this too...

    Removing Pine Tree Sap

    Removing Sap First read this on a hot tub cover manufacturer's website. Use olive oil. I have tried it and it works almost instantly, at least on sap from Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar.
