• 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.

    Ride with whatever pressures suit your style... on my 1200 RT my factory kendras [yuk] .. felt a bit squidgy and could feel sidewall roll on corners.. my happy medium is 21 in the fronts and 28 in the rear...suits me and my riding style.

    F3 BajaRon sway bar vs SpiderExtras Performance sway bar

    I agree wit bcraig… we live in a democracy and should be able to discuss any spyder products here for comparison..even if 1 manufacturer sponsers the site.... it doesn't make the non sponsor product a bad product. I myself have the Bajaron swaybar fitted... and its excellent! .. But im also open...

    Brakes

    A light coating of copperslip on the back of the pads usually does the trick.. never put them in dry as they will squeal.

    I guess I'm a motorcycle guy

    As a recent spyder rider I have too agree with KC61... im on 3 wheels for health reasons, but my heart belongs on 2... even though id struggle with a 2 wheeler im on the lookout for one to tinker with and restore.. bottom line is they are more fun and once a biker always a biker.. but age health...

    2008/2013 990/998 V Twin Owners - XPS M Rated Oil versus OTHER Oils Rated API 'M'

    Well this is all a little confusing for us first time 998 spyder SE5 owners... Im intending to do my own servicing here in the UK.... so perhaps I should stick to oil from the dealer rather than trying to find one that suits my spyder and ending up with a slipping clutch! :dontknow:

    Back pain - Ergonomic issue with my F3L

    As above...get a good seat tailor made and maybe so bar risers may help as well... Nothing worse than back pain I have osteoarthritis in my crumbling spine... so always take pain killers with you as well on a longer ride!
