• 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.

    Early Clutch Replacement

    Great minds think the same...they rebuilt the engine. I'm told that only the original case is the same. I brought that up to them, too.:banghead:

    Early Clutch Replacement

    When I bought my spyder, I asked at the dealership about the sweet spot for shifting. They told me 4500-5500 and I have held to that ever since. It was difficult since my Goldwings used much slower RPM's to perform. I have never dogged any of my bikes and when I am pulling my trailer, I use...

    Early Clutch Replacement

    I recently had to replace my clutch on my 2011 RTS SE5. It was at 8,000 miles! I've owned bikes for over 45 years and have never had to replace a clutch. The last two bikes were Goldwings with over 20,000 each. I think that there was a problem that had not been detected. I also found out...

    Natchez Trace Parkway

    We road the entire trip a few years ago. A beautiful ride but be aware that the speed limit was 50 and they mean it! We were stopped at 55 and given a small lecture but no ticket! Hope you enjoy your trip!

    RT Trailer light hook up

    FYI on trailer wiring. I just picked up my trailer from USA minitrailers. I used the 5-4 wire hookup and wired it directly to the wires around the rear trunk. The lights on the trailer are LED and the wiring works great! I have both signal, brake lights and running lights. Very happy!:yes:

    carry a pistol?

    I do. Either a .45 or a 380. Have had a CWL in Texas since they offered it and because of Texas laws, it has reciprosity in most states that allow. Only once have I needed it on my bike and that was several years ago in New Mexico. Merely showing what I had (.45) a truck load of kids left me...

    RT Trailer light hook up

    My spyder doesn't have the traler harness installed. I purchased a non-BRP hitch and trailer and want to wire it. The Spyder uses a separate wire for each tailight adn another for the brake light or in other words a 5 wire system as compared to most american systems of 4 wire.

    RT Trailer light hook up

    Northern Tool has a 5-4 conversion setup for trailer wiring to non-american vehicle. Its only 19.95. The only concern that I have is that it just utilizes the power from the spyder's on light wiring. Is there a need for seperate power hook-up or will this be an acceptable hook-up?
