• 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.

    If you want to know for sure there are several apps that can tell you. Just do multiple before and after test under as close conditions as possible. The one I use and like is Car Test on ios. My results with the swap were a better tone without major increase in volume, reduction of heat...

    Vredestein tire sizes from their web site

    My Q5 fronts, which are no longer available, have over 40,000 miles on them and still going strong. My first Q5 rear got 27,300 miles on it and I replaced it for a long trip. My current Quadrac has over 15,000 miles on it and plenty of life. 175/55R-15 fronts - 205/65R-15 rear. I have had them...

    Review: Spyder Extras Flip Up Seat Support Bracket

    I like the idea. Shame on BRP for not addressing the issue.

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    That was a comment about pumps in general. You are hard pressed to find a pump at a Buc-ee's that will not give you a receipt. You will also notice that there will be one or two workers constantly making sure all is well on the fuel island.

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    The other delay is the pump never being able to print out a receipt. If you don't leave your vehicle at the pump someone else is using it by time you ask for a receipt and the clerk can no longer get it for you.

    Seems their standard model for a build now is 200 + pumps.

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    That's also why the latest ones they have built have over 200 pumps. Got to go in and get some Beaver Nuggets!

    What's best for Cold weather winter storage? Fuel additive? Battery care? Rodents?

    I have noticed several folks saying fill the tank then add XXX stabilizer of choice. It's much better to carry the xxx stabilizer of choice with you to the fuel pump, add it first, then top it off with fuel. Causes a much better mix.

    Never Say a Spyder Can't Flip

    Possible, but I have had a trailer flip and come disconnected that weighed a lot more that what they were pulling and the rear dash cam showed the Spyder never moved.

    Never Say a Spyder Can't Flip

    You can search YouTube for the following: (HORROR) Arkansas: Two Injured After Trike Riders Flip & Are Crushed By Their Own Motorcycle I wish I could make out the tag on the trailer and maybe have an idea who it is. Looks like it happened 2024-10-10 12:02 PM CDT and was first posted yesterday.

    A different look at setting the correct tire pressure

    Actually it has a lot of application to many of the discussions you see on here about the correct tire pressure.

    A different look at setting the correct tire pressure

    OK, so have been holding this for a bit waiting for a tire pressure thread. Didn't get one so let's add some fuel to the fire or for others some food for thought if you can think a bit outside the box. We just purchased 2 new trailers (specialty chemical hauling) that have all the latest...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    A huge number of Spyder riders only run regular unleaded gas.

    How many times can a Spyder be turned on & off between tries without failure?

    The suspense waiting for the reason is................
