• 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.

    30 psi in frt tires

    I said the same thing before I installed Baja Rons sway bar. Contact him and he will explain how improving the angle improves steering. Your response is "a bit" over the top but its ok.

    Tires

    Nothing like a good tire fight. Lets all meet with our tires and whack each other over the head. Last man standing wins the tire argument........who's in?

    30 psi in frt tires

    An easy method would be to mount a desired tire on your Spyder and with the parking brake "on" pull your Spyder with gauge attached. Do this for several different brands and let us know which tires require more pull to break traction. nojoke If we could come up with a known gauge that everyone...

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    I don't. I don't know if he actually changes the oil or if he is adding the BRP oil. I don't know if he is checking everything as listed on the service schedule as mandated by BRP. ....but if he wants to keep me as a customer he needs to keep me satisfied. :thumbup:

    Spyderfest '18

    No Thanks. 1200 miles in the cold to attend a rally at the wrong time of the year only to have it rain so I'm alone with no venders. No Thanks.

    30 psi in frt tires

    I was simply asking for the hard data, the math or any actual testing done. I see none of that. I see thread after thread of what people "think" is best.

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    BRP fixed my sprocket under warranty, he never even hesitated at its replacement. I never saw the interior of my sprocket, I was simply stating what he told me after the replacement. I just feel that this thread is grossly over the top compared to the actual issue. I don't think 5 minutes of...

    30 psi in frt tires

    Close but still no cigar. And you must remember you are missing a wheel which reduces traction even more. additionally...they figure the weight as the "average" of additional passengers and cargo. even those little Smart cars figure an average of passenger and cargo being 600-800lbs, something...

    30 psi in frt tires

    The only way to see the difference in tires is to mount them and do cornering and braking tests. This needs to be done in an honest and scientific way. It needs data recording equipment mounted on the vehicle, video footage and measurements made on the road. This would put this discussion to...

    30 psi in frt tires

    Hey Mike. I am also as you stated...."an expert witness". I (we) could not testify that we know better then a tire manufacturer, you would be laughed out of a courtroom if you did. That testimony would only come from a tire manufacturer. My statement, albeit harsh, was to demonstrate you are...

    lol....true. The back-n-forth argument gets too funny at times.

    30 psi in frt tires

    Kenda tires are not "weak"....they have a softer rubber compound because they need to stop a lighter vehicle. The reason tire manufacturers will not list certain vehicles is due to the weight of the intended vehicle. They know from their research a stronger tread on a lighter vehicle causes...

    Touring ?

    The best part of using UPS is you can tell them when to deliver it and don't have to be there when they pick it up. I also tried camping on an MC trip. It was wonderful....till it rained out, then we ran to the check in station and rented a cabin....lol

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    People are losing grip on reality. 365 posts? over 22,000 views? I fail to see what the big problem is..... Once every 5,000 miles spend 5 minutes of your time and remove the sprocket cover and have a "looksee". If you see red dust call your dealer and have it replaced......free under...

    Touring ?

    My last trip had a buddy UPS his and his wife's stuff to the hotel we stayed at. After we were done he called UPS and had them pick up their stuff at the hotel after we departed....too easy. If you have a lot of crap and have a set destination......UPS it.

    30 psi in frt tires

    Kenda's are "weak" only because they have a softer rubber tread....because the machine they support is lighter.(to maintain traction) Car tires are stronger....... because the machine they support is heavier. My stock Kenda tires are doing awesome. 15,000 rear and 20,000+ for the front. No...

    Performance mods or scrap F3-S?

    This reads like a troll post. Only 6 posts before posting this? 115 MPH in 5th and you want more power before 6th? I'm just going to come out and call this for what it is....BS.

    New Spyder focused website

    Not thrilled. I know its still "under construction" but since you asked for opinions here is mine. What is special about this website that would cause me to frequent it? (right now nothing) I checked all the links and found nothing interesting, I didn't even bother saving it to my favorites...
