• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Took off the muffler so its ready for Wednesday when I get a delivery. I had finally ordered my Crusher exhaust from RLS, shortly after some guy in Canada ordered 25 of them though, so it was a little longer then I hoped to get it. Unfortunate thing is I leave Thursday for Rocklahoma so I won't...

    Topping off your fuel tank - is it good practice??

    Usually depends on what I am doing after. If its on the road for a while I usually try to squeeze in some extra. If I am heading home to park it, then I'll usually stop after the first click.

    Where did you start?

    My list is rather short and didn't start until till about 7 years ago. First motorcycle was a Suzuki C50T. I think it had a good seating position to learn from, wasn't a complete dog but no where near fast enough to get me into too much trouble. Loved how it looked. The next year, picked up a...

    What are the Zumo XT's capabilities?

    Its also designed to have the screen on full brightness all day. Try keeping a cell phone plugged in, charged, with screen on full brightness and see how quick it fries an egg at the end of the day.

    Anyone here like to drink malt liquor?

    I'm definitely one to prefer high ABV malty beers. Though I usually only buy from brewers that at best distribute regionally so I have never tried the Hurricane. I like the mouth feel of them where you could almost "chew" the beer.

    Oil - why would you use Rotella T6, a diesel oil, in your Spyder?

    I go so far as to say they don't even have to be in Egypt or in a pinch. When I had my v-twin before getting the bikes I have now, I ran T6. Its used a lot on the forums I used to frequent.

    To kill or not to kill (switch), that is the question

    I'll admit I have done it, driving it back from Texas when we bought it. Tell you how freaked out I was that something was actually wrong with a bike we just bought and all I did was hit the stupid kill switch. Never have I done it on any other bike I have owned, so don't know if its placement...

    Heading for Eureka Spring AR.

    Great place to ride. I'm coming down to Rogers Saturday and over to Harrison for some Crawdads. Beautiful country.

    Arkansas in the rain - Spyder made my day!

    Always like riding down there compared to our miles of straight roads here in Kansas. Do you know how long you are staying down there? I am heading that way this Saturday, ultimately ending up in Harrison for the Crawdad Days Festival.

    I guess you could call this a close shave

    Our Spyders are a good bit bigger then some bikes, but they still don't see us. I had to do something similar just this past Sunday.

    Questioning myself now - why did I get 2 fairinged bikes?!

    Thanks for all the comments. I love the look of both, love the ride (especially the C14) but this maintenance sucks. Will say that I think the Spyder is easier to dig into believe it or not. A lot of the Kawasaki has to intertwined to go back together. Sway bar went pretty well, glad I went for...

    Questioning myself now - why did I get 2 fairinged bikes?!

    My personal ride, a Concours 14, is under the knife right now, have her torn down to do the valves, add cruise, tires and some other small things. Waiting for a friend to come over to help with the technical stuff so I thought I would throw on the sway bar and wire in my Zumo XT onto the RT. Why...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Got my BajaRon bar and Lamonster links installed. Surprised how little, as in zero, movement the stock plastic links had. Then I started looking at what it will take to wire up my ZumoXT but I tapped out for the night. Hoped my magic mirrors would of been in today to have everything done this...

    Traffic Light Road Sensor and the Ryker

    I usually wait a light cycle, if I am there and it doesn't pick me up when it should of I go the next time my original direction of travel has the light and I go when clear, I've never timed it.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Got new tires all the way around, oil change and new rear pads, actually done Friday at Lamonster. Also grabbed a gps mount so I can replace the stock 660 mount so I can use the Zumo XT I bought originally to just use on my Concours 14 but after the ride with the 660, I can't do that again...

    Can't quite decide between Spyder and Ryker

    If you haven't, definitely sit on them. Before we bought my wife's RT, we visited the local dealer and for her the Ryker was an absolute non starter for fit and comfort. I didn't mind it as much and I have been thinking about adding a "smaller" bike to my collection and the Ryker has been on the...

    Is training really needed to ride a Spyder?

    I guess your past experiences can count for a lot but I also think there is always something you can learn. If a class came nearby I would probably take it, also give me a chance to ride something different. Had been riding 2 wheels for about four years when we bought my wife's Spyder down in...

    What's this other code beyond the Tire age numbers?

    Have an appointment with Lamonster next Friday to get new rubber all around and an oil change. Was supposed to do it last year but my life got upended and the bike sat all last year. Looking forward to riding more this year.

    What's this other code beyond the Tire age numbers?

    Always went on the last four numbers after the DOT was the tires age which would place these from 2007, but do the other numbers by the white stamp mark mean anything about the age or just something else? All three of my tires have a similar arrangement.

    Identifying tire age

    I was making a list of maintenance items to work through on my wife's Spyder and was trying to figure out the age of the tires on it. All of the tires have two sets of 4 numbers after the DOT code, not sure which is the correct one. Attached a picture of one of the fronts. Thanks.
