• 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.

    Ethanol and Power

    Because when they started out they had the legislative branch locked up and instead of repealing the ethanol standards they chose the healthcare fiasco instead. Is that hard to understand? Like Bush says do you miss me now? I sure do and I won't miss these misguided liberals a bit! Bill :D

    Official word on water management kit

    Nothing from BuRP yet and nothing from the dealer either. Give them a little more time and then I will try and see if they even know about it yet? Bill :sour:

    cruising rpms?

    5,000 RPM seems to be the magic number for me. I go about 250 and rarely ride two up and see a lot of curvy and mountanous roads here in WV. I have about 5,000 on my 2010 RT and find that people who get 30+ MPG run high test without the added ethanol and run slower speeds for the most part on...

    Winter Storage

    Yah know what I have never winter stored a vehicle in my entire life and I am 66 years old! I have run it about twice or once a month with any second vehicle including race cars for years with no apparent problems. Never used stabilizers in their fuel either. I always run them till hot and...

    I am getting ready

    Power and fuel milage on an RT is a catch 22 situation. If you stay below 5000 you get fair MPG and lack the power at times to climb hills. If you go above it the RT has fair power for the size of the engine and weight plus shape of what you are pushing down the road. Cruising range about 130...

    Looking for opinions on the RT-622 trailer

    Factory trailer, the 622, works just great and carries just about anything I can think of putting in there. MPG with it sucks, like in the low 20's though. One thing the need or I need to make is seperators to make like little compartments in there. The trailer on any longer ride treats its...

    Still Lurking---RPM At Highway Speeds?

    Gee why would they do that? Could it be they actually admit to the Aprilla cruising with a 6 speed and 140 hp does actually get far better MPG? Nah do you think? He he! Bill :agree:

    Gettin' Really P.O.'d

    I had mine done at Good Times while on the rally. They had or had done 31 when I got mine done. With and oil change it took almost 5 hours and cost $192 and change. The difference was almost little or nothing from before only after it was done I could now really make the understeering front end...

    How many miles did you put on your Spyder this summer?

    Think about 5500 or so since May. Let's see one trip with trailer to SITS Rally and then onto Nashville for the Blue Grass Bash and tourist type of things. So Far I have the DPS thing done and glad I rode the Dragon before I had that done. It basically made it easier in arm effort to hit the...

    Impressions after DPS replacement

    RT 2010 SE front tires at 18 pounds, rear at 28 pounds, and front springs set at 5 the highest they go. On the SITS rally I knew I would need an oil change so I scheduled it at one of the two dealers who we were to visit. One the final one we visited had only been a dealer for 3 days they told...

    Analog fuel guage accuracy on RT-S?

    Wow 150 miles on a tank of fuel! I am getting around 25 MPG and I am sure not that brave or willing to push 1200 lbs down the road very far either. I get the light around 100 miles and the fartherest I have dared to go without a fillup was 132 miles. It took 5.7 gallons that time and I was...

    RT flashes a Check Transmission warning light

    If there are any stored codes in there! Often there are not as stated here and elsewhere. Good Luck! Bill

    Limp Home............I was already at home

    I have not had this problem so far on the RT SE-5 2010 edition but the 2008 RS SE-5 did it so much and went through 3 supposed bad oil pressure sensors I dang near just ignored it when it happend. I knew it was not a good thing to do but it ran fine even after a limp mode problem and trip to the...

    Leaves already changing in Vermont!

    In mid stretch the other day going down the interstate at about 75 I grabbed the cutoff switch and knocked into the off position. For a few seconds till I realized what I did I really had a panic in gear! Flipped it back on and off we went. By the way here in the hills of WV leaves have...

    Annoying Problem - Turn Signal

    My turn signal is just a plain pain in the tail to get to cancel. It often goes to the opposite of the side it was on when I go to cancel it. Yeah just another tourist on a trike I guess. I have found limited success with pressing hard and long to get it to cancel and have been doing that when I...

    2011 RT

    Far as I know the Hindle exhaust has nothing to do with handling which can hurt someone which means you missed why I said they should have a recall. The recalibrated shocks and springs were for a handling malady which they should have bit the bullet on and fixed when it came out not in the next...

    2011 RT

    Shame if it is for you as if it really works it would have saved you changing all the springs, shocks, and bars at your expense. It would have been nice of them to have a real recall and replace a bad part at their expense. I assume it should be interchangeable onto the 2010 RT's so we can spend...
