• 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.

    I didn't have a problem with that.

    p1x tip for two bros

    I couldn't figure out why each tip came with two gaskets (of different sizes). The only thing I could figure was compatibility with different canisters? Either way, both gaskets seemed to work fine on my dual. I ended up using the thicker one (under the tip) and it's been fine. I'll just hang...

    Spark Plug Torque ??

    Removing that airbox is probably my favorite thing I've done to the Spyder. Nevermind the performance enhancement, it really opens up the engine compartment and makes working on it so much easier.

    Heat sink paste

    It is a strange recommendation for sure. That fact alone is enough to convince me there must be a reason for it. Heat sink paste is used in electronics. In computers for example we use it between the processor and the heatsink that sits on top of it. It basically fills all of the "pores" if you...

    Rear Ended

    Glad you're OK, getting rear ended is my biggest fear on the Spyder.

    Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

    These were sealed hub units that can't be over tightened. He used the same brand because the parts store was replacing them under warranty. He eventually switched to a Timkin unit that hasn't been a problem.

    Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

    All I'll say is that I know someone who replaced the front wheel bearing on his GMC pickup 3 times in 6 months, they were all made by National (made in China). I realize it's apples to oranges, but just sayin'.

    Drive belt tension.

    I'm going to stop at my dealer tomorrow, I'll see if I can get a copy (probably not, but I'll try).

    Oil viscosity, what is best.

    I'll ride mine as cold as 25*F and I have no problem using 10w in the Spyder. If I were riding 15F or colder I'd probably switch back to using the 5w.

    Drive belt tension.

    That is a pretty significant reduction. I guess they've clearly identified some issues with the higher tension. If I buy the tension tool that NAPA sells, where on the belt to you place it to measure the tension?

    Helmet Suggestion....

    On my old EXO-700 I could throw a cat between the visor and helmet.

    Helmet Suggestion....

    I just bought an HJC SyMax II and I really like it. It has a nice even fit with no pressure points and I can put in an eight hour ride with no discomfort whatsoever. This is my first modular and I'm hooked. I like being able to pull up to a traffic light or ride through town on a hot day with...

    Always, I don't use the brakes until the bike is under 20MPH usually.

    Taking Curves

    Same on my RS/GS, I've only lifted the inside tire going relatively slowly (under 35 or so).

    Rear Fender Removal

    Your swing arm doesn't have any scratches in it from the fender brackets? I had mine off the other day to replace my rear tire and found that the brackets had worn through the paint on the swing arm.

    Taking Curves

    I've found the Spyder will really plant itself when you start to accelerate out of a curve. It's really fun.

    More Horsepower

    Heh, I had a Hardley pass me today, I was doing about 75 and I saw him back there for awhile. After I had passed a few cars, with him right with me he finally went by me, I think he thought I was tied in a knot at 75. After he went by I stayed right on his back tire all the way to 107 when he...

    more tire choices

    There are others running the 185 on front. Reports are that it is very tight, but does work. I'm waiting for someone to post pics up close to show how the fit, but so far no love. This is the tire I'm running on the rear and it is also available in 185/60/14 for the front...
