• 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.

    Extra Non-Computer Key for Spyder

    A friend of mine is a locksmith and we found a triumph key blank that worked. Might be the same one...???? I do the same thing. I usually keep it in the ignition in the garage so if Im out tinkering with electrics, I can test them without going back inside for the key.

    Steering issue, mega problem

    Sounds like exactly what mine did. Fix was changing the DPS (Dynamis Power Steering) Its the actual motor, and was covered under warranty. If yours isnt under warranty, then it could get quiet costly for you. If Im not mistaken, replacement of that unit requires hook up to the computer (BUDS)...

    Almost had a bad day

    I do the same thing. I usually aim with my knee and try to take it right under one of my knees. If Im unsure it will clear, I try to err on the side of hitting the rear tire, less issues if somethin happens back there.

    won't start

    Have you checked connections with either a voltmeter or ohm meter? If you have a meter, start at the battery terminals and make sure you have 12 volts. If you do, leave the positive lead on the battery, and start moving the negative lead downline to the next "intersection" or connection. If...

    won't start

    It shouldnt be the key. Even with a bad key, it will light up the dash. Sounds to me like the main fuse or fusible link (I ashamedly must admit I dont know where that is on this bike yet:opps:) Either that or as you stated a broken wire or disconnected wire. Check for voltage at the jumper...

    Members Roadside Assistance

    Deb, Can I make one suggestion before the sheet gets too full? If you make a column that is state and another that is City, it could be sorted better for those travelling to a given state. Just a thought. Ill add my info either way.

    Mirror Extensions

    Im at work so cant see my bike, but if you can get internal/behind the mirror, or somewhere hidden on the extension or stalk, maybe taping a lead weight or something else to change the harmonics.

    How tight should lugs be?

    You are correct! && Ft/lbs means 77 pounds of forse at 1 foot radius from centerline. Any equivalent of that works, IE 924 pounds at 1 inch, etc. I used to be the "torque wrench" for the prop nut on a Beech18 engine where I worked. The nut called for 600 ft lbs of torque, so we would put a...

    Help with riding habit

    :agree: This is the one habit I still am working on. Also, as you go into the curve, let the outside tire "load up" a bit with slight pressure before you make the full turn pressure on the bars.

    Dreaming about adding a two wheeler to the family

    If either of you decide its somethin you might want. Id be willing to help set up shipping, etc. Ive heard you can get a bike shipped for reasonable prices (?$400ish?) Thanks for the comments. Its a nice bike, but Jill decided she wanted to try a sport tourer so we found a used ST1300 for her...

    No response from Carlo, perhaps you can help me.

    According to my dealer (take that at face value) The second part of the update is the vent can tube rerouting. On my vin, it apparently was only called for if engine troubles were reported AFTER the first update was done. Waitin on parts now, but ridin it until they get here.
