• 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 this Torque for rear brake caliper bolts too high?

    When at just snug, place the palm of your dominate hand over the head of the ratchet and tighten using just that hand in that position. Never had a caliper loosen nor have I ever stripped a bolt tightening it this way. FWIW your results may vary. Al in Kazoo

    WTF? Can't find anyone to mount my new Quadtrac tires!

    First remove your wheels yourself from your ride. When doing the rear wheel removal, remove the rear shock bolt which allows the swingarm to drop down further and reduces the tension on the drive belt. Work the drive belt off the rear sprocket, this allows you to remove the rear axle without...
