• 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.

    I'm hoping the new engine does not use as much oil as the old one did. JT

    Dead Spyder

    The service manager called this afternoon, the Spyder is back together and should be ready to pick up in the morning... if it ain't raining I'll go get it. Edit: just looked at the date of the first post and pretty much 9 weeks from the day it died. The dealer had it about 8 weeks as I said...

    Latest news on the Dead Spyder, the engine is back together but not back in yet. The tech is trying to have it all back together late next week! So far the total is a tad over $7,500 for the new engine. JT

    2014 RT Brake Light

    Step on the brake pedal and just opposite your heal is the switch but it is buried under some sheet metal cover. You have to take the panel off just above the right floorboard/foot peg. JT

    2014 RT Brake Light

    BINGO! We blew air from the bottom then from the top and a "click" was heard and someone shouted there's a brake light. They are on the road to Nashville to meet up with some MoGang riders to ride the Trace tomorrow. Yup, all fixed now. Thanks JT

    2014 RT Brake Light

    There are two groups of wires coming from the master cylinder, one with 2 wires and one with 3 wires. Neither one toggle when the brake is pressed. JT

    2014 RT Brake Light

    I ran into a couple from Branson and they were broke down. The brake light does not come on when you step on the pedal and then it goes into limp mode. Fixed a wiring mess on the right one and checked the fuse. Any Ideas? JT

    That's a good idea, I wish the dealer was closer to me... I'll grease them when I get it back. JT

    I wonder if the collapsed oil filter is the old style or the new style? JT

    The first photo is the top of the heads showing the scarring on the cam bearings. JT

    Dead Spyder

    The cam bearing area was toast on the heads so they had to put new ones on. The only thing they can use is the two side covers. JT

    Dead Spyder

    They are waiting on the new heads to start assembly of the engine. The total is over $3k so far, glad I got the extended warranty. JT

    John, that does sound plausible. Some photos I took Saturday on our way to watch one of our group jump out of a plane. JT
