• 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.

    some sound while in gear - any ideas?

    And a definition for 'Grewing'.

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    Synthetic blends are almost always 90% standard mineral oil with 10% non-true synthetic (mineral oil with an additive package). It's more marketing and profit margin for the seller than it is a valueable upgrade for the user. I compare it to getting a bottled drink that is 90% tap water and 10%...

    2015 RSS with sporadic heavy steering - any ideas?

    You, my good sir, are one of the fortunate few! This is Very Good News indeed!

    When is the Price of gas going to stop rising?

    I'd say it goes both ways. They added $200.00 to my anual regestration fees for my e-Golf because I no longer pay gas tax. At least when I was paying gas tax, I got something for it. So, I'm paying gas tax now whether I get any or not.

    When is the Price of gas going to stop rising?

    Electric cars will probably come back into vogue if fuel continues to stay high. I have a friend in San Diego that has been sitting on several electric cars waiting for this very scenerio. He's the only person I know happy that prices are going up and hoping that they keep going.

    Could disconnecting the positive terminal of the battery for a few days cause any problems?

    There is another reason for disconnecting the negative cable first. When you disconnet the positive cable first, or connect it last, you can get an arc of energy as the battery post and cable come into contact. This has the potential to damage sensitive electrical components. This same order...

    When is the Price of gas going to stop rising?

    We did the same thing in California. Odd/Even license plate. We could be there again if we are not careful. We haven't built a refinery in the USA since 1977. And, for the most part, we can't even refine the oil we produce here. America produces some of the highest-grade oil in the world. It’s...

    When is the Price of gas going to stop rising?

    There is much more to all of this than meets the eye. Most never consider the big picture. What $1.00 would purchase in 1900 requires approximately $39.31 to carry away the same items today. What we have here is the cumulative inflation rate of 3,831.11% over these 126 years. (Yes, that's...

    Anyone use an Iridium face shield? Any advantages/disadvantages?

    What helmet do you have? I might be able to help.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    I think Lamont is as he has been for a number of years. Day to day. Some better than others. Last I heard he was hoping to get back onto the liver transplant list.

    Anyone use an Iridium face shield? Any advantages/disadvantages?

    I think the best setup is a mirrored/iridium shield and a dark smoke drop down lens for when you're riding right into the sun with no way to shade it. You won't need the drop down often. But once is enough to make it worth having.

    Has anyone mixed Rotella T6 5W40 and Amsoil 10W40?

    The old saying, 'If it can be done, it has been done, or will be done shortly', is probably true. It used to be (long ago) that mixing oils could be a bad idea. But these days, as long as the API ratings and general application purpose are the same, it's not a big deal. If you mix a high quality...

    Anyone use an Iridium face shield? Any advantages/disadvantages?

    I've been using them forever. Ever since I almost killed myself in New Mexico riding with a dark smoke shield from extremely bright sunlight into a non lighted tunnel on a windy mountain road. I couldn't see a thing. I've ridden the iridium shields at night and though I don't recommend it, it...

    Well, that's News to Me - Dealer won't service Spyders over 10 years old!

    Simple, because they can. But you bring up a good point. They will tell you that parts are hard to come by. But the 2014-2019 RT have nearly all interchangeable parts. The F3 even more so. They tell you what they want you to hear.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    #16 - BUSTED! We always did our work in Lamont’s garage because he had the much better set up. Plenty of room, awesome lift equipment, and gobs of tools. Sometimes we both worked on the same bike (his or mine). Sometimes we were each working on our own machine. But it was always great to have...

    When is the Price of gas going to stop rising?

    Something to consider when parcing out the cost of fuel and who is making all the profits. Overall Oil Company Profit, after locating, drilling, pumping, refining, transporting and marketing averages out to under $0.50 a gallon. This includes the $0.03~$0.05 per gallon profit the retailer (gas...

    When is the Price of gas going to stop rising?

    That's never going to happen. But fuel prices will come down anyway. Because the market they are 'Playing' will require it. It's always Supply vs Demand in virtually everything.

    Large Power Sport Dealer ditches Spyders

    Sad, but I can see it. I don't know that the Rykder or Canyon are selling that well, and I believe they have to carry the full line if they want to keep the Spyder.

    Well, that's News to Me - Dealer won't service Spyders over 10 years old!

    Old news. Unfortunately, it's becoming an industry wide stance. They must be doing quite well when they say they don't want your business or your money. It also tends to move more new machines from their salesroom floor to your garage.

    The 'Full Synthetic' Myth Exposed

    I understand that this is a non-issue for many. Unfortunately, life can seem more compicated than it is because there are people dedicated to deception and muddling up the facts. Fortunately, we still have some dedicated to the truth. Still, it can be hard to know what the truth is. I like the...
