• 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.

    New to me 2012 RT Limited

    I tend to keep my 998 above 3500 revs its happier there.. and they are more thirsty than the 1330s .. but more of a hoot to ride. Keep your eye on the oil level as well as they do use some oil.. and read them manual on how to check it properly as its not the same as a bike... they need to be...

    Confused about Baja Ron Swaybar install procedure

    If you need to remove it to do other stuff then take it off. If your just fitting the bar then there is no need to remove it.

    Belt tensioner

    If all is well then you don't need one..dont just add one because you think you need one... If your getting vibes then try find out the cause rather than add a tensioner to mask it.

    No compression

    Been reading this post... if you now have it running fine id just fill it with oil and enjoy it.. if your [maybe] going to need a new engine id run this one to destruction which may or may not happen. On the other hand if it runs fine, your now in a good place to part exchange it for something...

    Touring Comfort Inquiry

    Ive come from a Gl1800 wing due to health issues.. my Rt is as comfy as my wing was, and riding for long periods of time is the same. I do however miss 2 wheels and the filtering capabilities of a bike and would go back to 2 wheels tomorrow if I could. But the RT gives me everything I need other...

    Ram intake system by Treal performance

    Unless you remap your ecu after adding your mods, then as stated above your ecu will just try make it run at pre programed factory settings... it will make little or no difference other than use more fuel and prob run worse. Back in the day before ecu's you could chuck a filter on and rejet your...

    Installed Air Intake from JT's Spyder Store

    While it looks great I think with removal of the airbox and cold air intake your gonna have possible running issues.. Engines love cold air feed and need it to run efficiently.. while you have made it easier to access your plugs, your spyder is going to be sucking hot less dense air inside that...

    1330cc Spyder leaked all the oil out TWICE

    If it doesn't do it while its running and only when shut off and no apparent leaks maybe is syphoning out somewhere..dunno ..sucking up to airbox somehow and draining out of hole...? Its odd it doesn't go everywhere when it was running as it would with a normal oil leak! Just a thought..

    Canister-ectomy --whats the hose diameter?

    I just removed the hose that goes from the canister and down through the bottom om the spyder and didn't have to buy any additional hose. I just bought 2 clear fuel filters and used one to join the tank vent and hose together, and another filter at the open end of the hose. The drain hose I...

    Cruise control problems

    I too have cruise problems on my 2012 RT... press down to set it and it just goes to cruise off... then it may work.. if I hold it in the resume position [up] … it will work and I can alter speeds etc... Very irritating as it used to be fine!

    Up date on k&n

    To be fair adding a K&N will not give you anymore more performance.. free flow filters and straight through pipes need an ecu remap to see any gains..will prob sound faster and use more fuel as ecu tries to make it run at factory settings... however you do gain by being able to reuse them..
