• 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.

    New Elka shocks

    Spyder is not supposed to lift a wheel according to conversations I had with a field rep. PS I have lifted the front wheel a couple of times with just the stock shocks and higher air pressures in the tires. Another negative thing about the higher tires pressures to make it stable and enjoyable...

    Parts replacement quality of rear brakelight switch

    It took it 45 miles and a day to realize it saw brake pressure without any brake lights. The alarms were the next day when I was running it down to top the fuel up. I drove the 45 miles home because I live in the country and there was no one around to come pick me up and take me home so there...

    Gee what exactly is the price to overcome the stock shocks inability to do the job they are supposed to do with these miracle after market shocks? Bill

    Parts replacement quality of rear brakelight switch

    Now to make it even more interesting the thing went into limp mode with more system failure lights than even I have ever seen while moving it around today! But as usual five minutes of sitting and it was back to normal run. Will it ever end? :roflblack:

    Parts replacement quality of rear brakelight switch

    I lost the switch on the rear brake light at about 10,000 miles on my 2010 RT. After the usual removal of 5 million shrouds and body pieces the Tech brought the part to me and showed me that the metal arm of the switch turned on two nubs of plastic that was the body of the switch. In just...

    Gas milage

    Below 5000 RPM 28 to 30 normal for my 2010 RT above 5000 RPM 25 to 28 this is on regular at $3.80 for a gallon. My buddies hopped up Harley gets 43 MPG and will run the RT into the ground. The hills of WV do knock the mileage down and we don't have non-ethanol fuel available around here so that...

    Bike is away for winter

    Yeah mine is hiding in the garage too down here in the mountains of WV. I do take it for an occaisional run if the weather gets warm which happens at times. I run the trike at least once or twice a month and freshen the fuel if I take it out on the road. Never have used stabil in it or the...

    Yikes - My wife figured out the total cost!

    Might help the Canadian Economy but it doesn't help the balance of payments or the US economy too much! Bill

    Need Opinions...

    Again Repeating what one smart person said Locking them should have no effect on them if the locking set up is misadjusted. So locking them which many people said they did to prevent it coming open is doing nothing but making you feel better and it is just luck if they stay shut and it is proper...

    Things you need to know

    I made a trip cross country from WV to Gold Beach, Oregon on my SR the year before last. I had called ahead to set up an oil change and when I got to the dealership the door was padlocked. No signs or explanations at all. I noticed a Harley dealer across the interstate and went over and inquired...

    Stereo Sucks, lol

    The RT is under sprung, under shocked, and has a softer bar than it needs to handle at all. I am 250 and 6'2" and it dam near bottomed out on bumps when I first got it. I have a 2010 model by the way. I have over 20.000 miles on Spyders now and drove racecars for many years. It is not like a 2...

    FRUSTRATED

    I put the radio antenna on with thread locker and thus far it has not come loose again. As someone said above all the complaints you are having are 2010 problems which were supposed to have been fixed for 2011. Gee you don't suppose they didn't? BuRP would never lie would they? Bill :yikes:

    Average MPG for the RT?

    Generally 25 to 27 if I stay driving like a little old lady. Below 5,000 milage goes up, venture above it like on an interstate running the normal 70+ 24 or less. Pulling the trailer I am lucky to see 24 even using 65 and the cruise that is the best. Now I am approaching 7,000 miles on the...
