• 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.

    Anyone tried "Speed Bleeders" brake bleeders?

    What about the review on the site? https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0143 "Great concept, but doesn't work I purchased two of these. One came without the inner check valve. It was replaced in two days, great service! However, after that one of the units check feature wasn't air tight. The...

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    Sarge707. I tried it and was only able to get 3.6 of the 5.3 by suction on my 2014 RT. So doesn't look like this is going to work well for me. I could put it on my inclined driveway. Anyone have an idea whether having the front or back higher would put more oil at the dipstick, or even side to...

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    Yes, I see a lot on the testing. My only thought was for low usage it may be better to replace the oil easily in a year, to remove moisture, than to keep it in for several years, as some have done. Low usage should have less contaminant, so not too concerned about the filter, or some oil at the...

    Who out there has Removed their Zumo mount and wiring? Use it for USB/phone?

    Is there a current Zumo replacement GPS? I also just bought a 2014 RT. Seller couldn't find the GPS and said they could never get it to work anyway.

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    The Mercedes dealers suck the oil out. They don't drain it and their cars do have drain plugs. (My Crossfire is a Mercedes built engine). So I do the same. I wonder if we analyzed the oil for example on a Spyder with 6K miles vs one with 1K, but 12 months time. Which oil do you think would be...

    Where is the ENGINE VIN located on the Engine Block?

    With some effort we found it behind and to the right. So from OP's picture (which I can't see a number on either), it is to the right and behind. We were able to feel some numbers back there, clean them off, and get a phone back there with a few attempts and were able to get a picture of the...

    Where is the ENGINE VIN located on the Engine Block?

    Your picture doesn't show a number. I followed what you said and we can't find the number either. Where is the number? Is it the sticker on the back of the computer? I am in MN as well, removed left side and computer. I cannot see a number.

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    What about sucking the oil up from the dipstick? I have a pump that does this. This is what I typically do for my SRT6 Crossfire. It is how the car dealers change the oil on it. My thought is, yes, at 9300 miles do a full change with filter. But if I am only doing a couple K in a year and want...

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    OK. Took the plunge. Bought and rode home a nice 2014 RT Limited. Easy. Peasy. No problem riding, and a fun ride. Thanks for all the advice everyone! I think the first ride was affected a lot by my being ill at the time. And didn't help that the shop was right on a highway, under...

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    Thanks. That's a lot of miles. But since I don't plan on touring to put a bunch on myself, a later model with more miles may be a better deal for me. Unlike cars where I looked for older models with low miles as a good deal.

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    Right, it is a parts bike because he can't get parts to fix it, so needs to part it out and take the loss. Now, I suppose that one being a 2013 is at the end of the 998 period, so parts are not easily sourced. Seems to me it is good to get a bike near the beginning of the model cycle, then...

    Thanks, where did you see the 2020 RT Limited Red? I am considering a 2021 Sea to SKy for $20.6K 8K miles. Thanks.

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    I was thinking the same thing. Get into it cheap and see what I like. Then, besides the forums, I see Ads like this. A 2013 for 4K because parts aren't available to fix it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1141442980247621/?ref=saved&referral_code=null

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    Short version: Long time MC rider. Test rode Spyder RT yesterday. It scared the death out of me. Wife loved it. Long version: I don't do bike tours etc. Motor Cycle riding has always just been a means of transportation to get from A to B. If I am going A to B, I might as well have fun doing...
