• 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.

    Lost seat strut clip

    And Dan! Don't forget the merchant made it easy for you to get the .50 cent part, by stocking it for you; paying payroll to the employee pulling the part; paying payroll taxes; paying business and workers comp insurance; paying for the building to warehouse the part; paying another employee to...

    ROAD FORCE BALANCING FOR A SMOOTH RIDE

    In my case the stickon weights went on the far inner lip of the rim on both wheels. 1/2 oz on the right side and 3/4 oz on the left side. The Hunter machine computer told the operator exactly where to put the weights on the wheels for optimal balance. If you really read up on the features of...

    ROAD FORCE BALANCING FOR A SMOOTH RIDE

    Road force balancing goes way beyond normal spin balance, as it also matches the heavy tire spots with the rim to compensate for both vertical wheel hop and side wobble under load. It will also ferret out a bad or marginal quality tire before it ever gets mounted on your machine. With normal...

    ROAD FORCE BALANCING FOR A SMOOTH RIDE

    Had this done to my front tires on my 2014RTL, and finally got a good smooth set of Kenda's after this procedure. IMHO this is the only way to go with tire balancing. http://www.hunter.com/balancer/roadforce/4159t.pdf You can check your local tire stores and see who has the equipment. Worth...

    2014 RT issue

    Had to get the Federals off the front of my 2014. Way to stiff! Finally stopped in Jacksonville, Fl at jacksonville Powersports. Talked it over with Travis, their service mgr about the problems with out of round Kenda's. He suggested to try a different method. Take a pair of new Kenda's and the...

    Arachnid Tires

    Have over 2000 miles on my rear Arachnjd, on the 2014 RTL. Doing just fine. Seems good in the rain and last week did great in all the twisties around Johnson City, Tn. To soon to tell about wear, but its better than the Kenda, IMHO. :2thumbs:

    6000 miles, need a new rear tire

    Have over 2000 miles on the arachnid rear tire. Works well, handles well, but is to soon for any long term mileage results.

    2014 RT-S Pulls to Right

    Nils888! Couldn't live with the very hard ride from the new Federal tires (165/55R15). They just beat the front end up, especially on the secondary roads, which are not always the smoothest. Barely acceptable on the Interstate. Federal Tires tracked true and were in perfect balance, and my...

    Tires....a.g.a.i.n

    Dan! i successfully ran car tires on my 2012 RT with the 14" fronts, after problems getting a "round" Kenda that would balance and not be out of rouund! However my new 2014 with the 15" tires has been a different story. After the dealer replaced 2 out of round 15" kendas, I went on the hunt...

    2014 RT-S Pulls to Right

    Nils888. Ran with 25 psi at first. To hard! Dropped to 22, now at 20psi. Seems about right. Am going on a 3000 mile trip friday, so will experiment with pressures. Rode today down I95 for about 30 miles at 75+ in 85 degree weather. Stopped and checked tire temps and all was ok. Tires are rated...

    2014 RT-S Pulls to Right

    Bob. It's a car tire! Not interested in how much mileage it gets, but how it sticks and handles. So far handling and stick is great. I would think tire life should be excellent, but time will tell.

    2014 RT-S Pulls to Right

    Bob! The Federal 595 EVO 165/55R15 IS STICKY AS ALL GET OUT! The only issue with this tire so far, is the speed rating. It's rated "V", which is up to 150 mph, and the sidewall is very stiff! Have lost some ride quality, but to me it's a trade off for a nice round tire that doesn't wollygog...

    2014 RT pulling right

    It's called radial runout. The kenda factory does not always get the belts laid on correctly, and when the tire is finally vulcanized (molded under heat), the tire tries to follow the out of line belt, resulting in a pull to the side. I just finally gave up, and put a complete set of car tires...

    2014 RT-S Pulls to Right

    Just to let everyone know, my 2014 RT pull to the right, was being caused by the Kenda front tires. After (2) new right front wollygog Kenda tires (in 2000 miles) I gave up and mounted a new set of Federal 595 Evo 165/55/R15 tires. All of the pull to the right was gone! Apparently the radial...

    Looking for Spyder RT waterproof bag that will fit back seat without passenger

    I have used the "Rapid transit platoon bag" for several years, on Goldwings and 2 RT's. It sets on the back seat and goes nowhere if you have a backrest. It is wind and water resistant, and has several outside pockets for small articles. It is also expandable, and will hold a few days worth of...

    2014 RT-S Pulls to Right

    Ok! Installed a pair of NEW Federal 165/55R15 front tires today! Guess what; no more shake, rattle, or roll! Finally a good set of round tires, just like I had to do on my 2012 RT. ALSO, the pull to the right is virtually GONE! It was driving me and the dealer crazy, but appears most of the...

    2014 RT-S Pulls to Right

    Nils888. I understand your frustration! Have a pair of new Federal 165/55R15 front tires going on mine friday. Had Kenda tire issues with my 2012 RT, and the 2014 has been no different! I also swapped tires side to side and my pull moved to the opposite side, so it is definately the tires. Will...

    aftermarket tire pressures

    I also ran Potenzas on my 2012 RT and ran them successfully at 22psi. Great tire and no problems. Also had Elka shocks on the front of my RT.
