• 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.

    Here's the good news - you can't over-fill the reservoir with coolant, and the system is self-purging! Now find the leak! ..... Mike

    What are the CURRENT belt specs for the 1330? Is 210# ok?

    Explain to me the difference between measuring the belt tension while the tire is raised (writing down the number) then lowering the tire to the ground and measuring the Tension again.

    Is it OK to adjust belt with rear wheel off the ground, in gear, & running?

    Sorry, I don't remember the nut sizes (?32mm - 35mm?) I use a small aluminum floor jack because it's low enough the get under the rear shock metal tabs for it; a small block of wood under the tabs wide enough to balance is necessary. This allows easy removal of the bolt if needed. If your floor...
