• 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.

    Is there a seat to lower the passenger height on a 2011 RT?

    There is more to the passenger seat than just height. interfacing with the driver is also a concern. Another reason for the higher seating point is to give the passenger vision to the front. Why do you feel the need to lower that ride height?

    Rear Air Suspension not working - compressor runs all the time riding 2-up - any suggestions?

    The way to set your front suspension height (if you are able) is to load it as you would normally ride (passengers, luggage, etc.). Then, on a flat surface, have someone measure from the bottom, front of the main frame member running under the center for the Spyder to the ground. You want...

    Does a first service/oil change at 500 miles sound "normal" for a 2024 RTL

    Typically, if there is enough contamination getting past the filter to damage an engine, the oil is going to be noticeably darker. Except for a diesel. Which will have black oil 5 minutes after an oil service.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    My brother is a big VW Bus fan. He says they are highly sought after vehicles. And have been for many years. Google says; A 1967 VW Westfalia sold at a 2024 auction for $48,251, another for $71,000. Some custom versions can bring even more.

    I'd like to see it go around a turn. It doesn't look like the front wheels have anywhere to go. (Left to Right)

    Usually, the Border Patrol auctions off confiscated items. (Except the drugs... Hopefully). So, take heart! Who knows? Your VW might still be floating abound out there somewhere.

    Does a first service/oil change at 500 miles sound "normal" for a 2024 RTL

    I know I sometimes descend into evil thoughts. But it isn't without precedence. It occurs to me that the dealership could do nothing at all and you'd never know the difference. I know... Bad Robot! But I believe the factory turns the engine for some period of time, coupled to a running engine...

    #5 - The VW Bug Folly Lamont purchased a VW Baja-Bug with the intent to upgrade it quite a bit. I don't remember all he did to it. But it got new performance exhaust, bigger carbs, performance intake, bigger cylinders and pistons, along with remote oil cooler and filter. Better brakes were also...

    Utah Dealers reprise

    I was not aware that a dealer was able to end all service on the product they sell. Not a very good sales pitch for the showroom floor guys.

    Review: The Can-Am Ryker... A Great Ride!

    Not to discourage you with your extended belt service interval. Using a K&N filter on the drive side may be some of the reason for your good fortune. But you want to be careful not to let the belt wear to the point that it slips. This will create a grove in the drive pulleys in pretty short...

    My 2011 RT has running rough issues and runs very hot - any ideas?

    Make sure you do not have a fuel leak. The fuel lines can go bad and if so, it's a serious fire hazard. Your cat may be clogged. Your brake may be dragging. Simple check. Release the parking brake and see if it rolls. Could be low on coolant, or a sticking thermostat. Or debris in your...

    I'll be taking a trip starting this Saturday. So I won't have a chance to post again until I get back. #4 - Building of the 'Stump Buster' I decided that I’d like to build my own log splitter. I figured that with the combination of my ideas, and Lamont’s fabrication skills, we could make one...

    Is it OK to run a Kenda KR20 rear with the original front Kendas?

    The KR20 will work just fine with any front set of tires. Unless you are running very bad front tires, they will always have more traction than the rear.

    Buying a new helmet - who replaces them every 5 years per manufacturers spec??

    Helmets tend to reduce the severity of injuries in a bad crash. They don't necessarily prevent them.

    Buying a new helmet - who replaces them every 5 years per manufacturers spec??

    According to the industry... Studies have shown that the EPS foam used in helmet does not degrade with age under normal circumstances. And can remain effective for decades. Of course the helmet's outer shell and other components such as latches, straps, etc., are part of the equation as well...

    Buying a new helmet - who replaces them every 5 years per manufacturers spec??

    Helmet warranties can vary, just like everything else. I have been dealing in Arai helmets since 1998. Their warranty is 5 years from the date of purchase, up to a total of 7 years. So if you purchase a brand new Arai helmet that is up to 2 years from manufacture, then you get the full 5 year...
