• 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.

    Anyone been told this about top speed why it won't go above 105 mph

    You know I'm not real sure, I've only hit the rev limiter maybe once and was not looking down. I normally shift at about 8800 rpms because the bike just falls flat after 8500rpms and redline shows to be 9000 on my bike. I would bet the limiter is right around 9300 or 9500rpms.

    oil overfill

    Sounds like what I was asking earlier. Mine has never dripped on the garage floor but there was some on the bottom panel and a few drops on the bottom of the engine case. Most members thought it was blow by that went into the airbox and then dripped out the weep hole on the bottom of the airbox...

    Akrapovic RT Exhaust - Dyno & Cat Removal Questions

    Thats good news! I just hope they do a map for a muffler swap only, a map for muffler swap and high flow intake, and a map for muffler swap, cat removal, and high flow intake install. With the 2012 the cat was in the muffler so when you swapped it out you removed the cat at the same time. It...

    Akrapovic RT Exhaust - Dyno & Cat Removal Questions

    I think what he is saying is that removing the cat would have more affect on the A/F mixture than removing the muffler, which I agree. Are you saying you have seen post where people removed the cat and nothing else and did not use a fuel controller of any kind with good results?

    Akrapovic RT Exhaust - Dyno & Cat Removal Questions

    I don't have any facts but I would bet that the bike would be to lean for comfort if we remove both without a tuning device. As of right now I can not find anyone offering a tuner for the 2013 yet. For the best performance I think we need to remove the cat, add free flowing muffler, and remove...

    Terrible gas mileage with ST

    Heck I KNOW I'm looking to stop at about 100 miles on the RS-S even with a taller windshield. With little to almost no protection from the wind my neck is ready to get the helmet off for a few minutes. We almost ran out of gas on the way out of town last weekend. When we finally came across a...

    Terrible gas mileage with ST

    Why would there be so much difference between the ST and RS? I never got below 30mpg last weekend over 1300 miles and we did one tank all hwy at an average speed of 83mph. That tank was from Oklahoma to Paris Tx on open hwy but with speeds ranging from 75mph to 100mph I would have expected this...

    HMF releases their pipe for 2013 RS

    Just happened to check HMF's website and they have the 2013 muffler on the website finally for the RS model. No video to hear what the pipe sounds like so anyone want to be the test mule? From the earlier model pipe I like the HMF sound and what's not to like about the HMF price...lol.. I figure...

    Anyone been told this about top speed why it won't go above 105 mph

    Had mine up to 109 today at 8200rpms. Bike just didn't seem to have much left to over come the drag. That is with the Calsci tinted shorty windshield so it might do a few more mph with the stock shield and the driver in a full tuck laying on the handlebars.:shemademe_smilie:

    Possible oil leak?

    Since I have never seen any oil on the garage floor I was thinking it was most likely blow-by leaking out of the airbox. I have not had the airbox off myself yet so I wasn't real sure how it was designed or where it could leak out. It should be rainy here in Dallas on Sunday so I might have to...

    high volume dealers

    My dealer is a high volume dealer and he has installed several already and today when I went in he was installing a kit on a bike they had in stock to make it ready to sell. Don't know why your dealer would not have received some kits by now.:dontknow:

    Possible oil leak?

    I noticed some oil on the right side plastic skid plate the other day so I took it off and cleaned it off real good thinking that some oil might have spilt on it when the dealer did the 600 mile service. Tonight I noticed some oil on it again so I took it and the side panel off and noticed a few...

    2012 vs 2013

    My sole purpose for removing the cat would be to try and improve the performance and sound of this machine. I would hope that removing the cat, installing a good performance muffler, and high flow intake with a good tune would result in atleast 10 more HP and 10 pf of torque. That would be...

    Open loop vs closed loop on 2013

    So I was reading a thread started by Rabtech earlier and noticed he said the 2013 does not enter open loop until 8000 RPMs. So if I understand this correctly the computer is going to make adjustments to hit the target A/F ratio at anything under 8000 rpms under normal throttle. For anything over...

    2012 vs 2013

    That is the link to the bypass. I emailed them asking if it would fit the 2013 RS and they assured me it will. With the 2013 I believe you could put a muffler on with no tuning needed since with our bike the cat would still be in place so the muffler would really only affect sound. Once you...

    Mounting GPS

    Hi, I use my iPad Mini for my GPS, got a RAM Mount and placed it on my dashboard, plug it into the 12v outlet in my frank, works like a charm. Paco The only problem with this is when you get up in the mountains or out in the desert where there is no cell service you are SOL if you don't know...

    Had My Recall Done Today

    I called Louis Power Sports this morning and they agreed to increase the belt tension for me. They said they like to start on the low side and if the customer doesn't notice the vibrations to much leave it there. However for those that ride up in the mountains and such they will increase to the...

    RS Problems to new owner- Any help appreciated!

    The clicking but not turning over sounds like a battery issue for sure. As suggested I would try looking at the battery connections to insure they are clean, tight, and dry. If all looks good I would take the battery to get it tested and then buy a new one and try to start it.

    Power commander for 2013 ST

    That seems strange that they would need to lean the mixture out more than the factory tune in the upper throttle and rpm range. I thought these bikes were lean to begin with and would need fattening up on the top end with aftermarket pipe and filter.

    How many Spyders over 100,000 miles with original motor?
