• 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.

    Best belt tensioner = No belt tensioner at all!

    Thanks, I didn't even notice. Got segway'd from another thread.

    Best belt tensioner = No belt tensioner at all!

    True. When I refurbished my knee mill, the manufacturer had very specific requirements for type, and AMOUNT, of grease to be inserted in the high precision (read; expensive) spindle bearings. The manual stated that over-greasing would cause overheating and bearing damage.

    That is equal parts practical and hilarious. (y) 🤣

    Tire search - what is everyone going to these days?

    I've been pretty happy with the original Kendas on the front of my F3S. I have a Kumho Ecsta AST to go on the rear, but I'll probably get a set of the updated Kanines for the front. There's a definite weight advantage, and with only about 300# on each tire, they don't need much in the way of...

    Tire search - what is everyone going to these days?

    Either pattern is fine, as long as you don't just go around clockwise or counterclockwise. 🙄 🤣

    Random thought for the day

    I've used my plasma cutter to gouge out the head of a flat-head bolt, after it broke two hex bits. It actually worked very well, and didn't even harm the anodized aluminum part. :cool:

    He was such a master of the English language. 🤣 🤣 🤣

    Random thought for the day

    Is the bear the joke, or is there more to it? I don't get the correlation between the bear and the fight.

    My search for the perfect oil funnel? What's yours?

    I picked up a 2 pack of something similar a while back. They're pretty versatile and work well.

    Why Is Overfilling Oil “Bad”?

    Once I established the correct amount of oil in mine via the overly complicated factory procedure, I figured out my own quick level check. I start the bike before a ride, let it idle while I remove the access panel, and check it with the engine idling. It works out to be just above the lower...

    My search for the perfect oil funnel? What's yours?

    I think I have all of those, and then some. 🤣 I just try to find one that fits what I'm working on. A suggestion on the Honda: If there's a separate dipstick, try removing it to provide a vent when filling.

    Random thought for the day

    It's actually much easier to ride hands free on two wheels, as you can still steer a bit by shifting your weight, which doesn't work on a trike.

    2017 Exhaust Muffler Compatibility; how to discern what fits?

    Wow. I'd think with all the open spaces in Oz, exhaust noise would be pretty much a non-issue. Fortunately, we're still a free country here in America, for now. ;)

    Ordered the Clutch assist kit from BRP

    I got the clutch assist solenoid from my dealer. It came in a week, and I even got a small discount for being a long-time customer. The hoses, zip ties, and check valve I already had or sourced locally. Installation was pretty easy, with the hardest part being threading the hoses from one side...

    Engine smoking and burning lots of oil - anyone pulled an engine?

    Will there be enough room in a 6' x 10' Trailer to tie down an RT?

    You'll never regret buying a larger trailer than you think you'll need. I recently sold my 8.5' x 24" and bought an all-aluminum Intech ICON 8.5' x 28', which will allow me to haul the Spyder along with my race car or another car if we're just vacationing. I'd definitely go with a 7x14 minimum...

    Are you using Tie down straps to secure a Spyder with e-track in an enclosed trailer?

    I plan to add lifting eyes to my front lower shock mounts to make tying it down a lot easier.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I'd like to see the 3rd brake light you installed. I've been looking for one that would look good on my F3S. I ordered an adapter for my automotive wheel balancer to allow me to balance motorcycle tires. It will need slight modification to make it fit, but fortunately I have a lathe and mill...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    That asymmetrical tire would trigger my OCD in a bad way. :eek: :eek: :eek: 🤣

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Because I like to do things the hard way. 🤣
