• 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.

    2019RT Front Sprocket questions/Concerns

    Okay, I getting a headache from reading threads about the front sprockets rusting and then stripping out.;) Few questions that may save me from reading for two more hours..... 1- Were the sprocket splines lubed at the factory in 2019 RT's? 2-Are you to replace the bolt at the same time? or just...

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    I'm going to ride it a bit harder when I do get it back to see if it ever slips.:2thumbs:

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    The oil was fine when I changed it, no burnt smell or anything stuck to the magnet...clean as a whistle. So maybe I lucked out with smoking the clutches....time will tell. I just hope they got it fixed right on the first visit, so I'm not driving 2+ hours, one way to the dealer all summer long...

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    Good point! Why didn't they check for a slippage code right away when I rode it into there shop on day one??....Well I guess it's a good thing this is all being documented right now at this time...may need this info in the future for tranny work. P.W.

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    Well, it wasn't my imagination, upon taking it for another test ride the dealer did experience the 6th gear slippage I was talking about. So they hooked the bike up to the computer and it did show a clutch slippage code on the tranny. They did three kind of updates to the bike and took it for...

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    Guy's A little "play by play" update as to what is going on. The Dealer just called and said they checked the front sprocket and said it was good.... so that's not the problem. Also, just my luck when they took it for a test ride they didn't hear it slipping either. I told them to hook the...

    Treatment to Paint Protection New Spyder RTL Harden Surface What Product To Use??

    I agree with the ceramic coating....you can spend as little as a $100... or so for a DIY kit that will last a couple years. Or you can get a professional coating applied ..... by a professional installer....that cost thousands. These professional coatings are much harder to apply and get a lot...

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    I'm going to call them 1st thing in the AM and see if they can look at the front sprocket for me (us) asap.....like tomorrow. Maybe they won't need to wait for the snow to melt and the roads to get better to get this figured out after all .... and I'll get "Skeeter" back home sooner than I...

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    I'm not saying this is not my slipping issue..... and the front pully might be bad and could be the problem. But, if the splines in the pully were stripped out, or close to it. I would think it would be slipping ALL the time.......but I did "baby" it to the dealer and backed off the throttle...

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    :thumbup: Will do. With 8,300 miles on the bike...could the front pully "splines" be bad already? :cheers: P.W.

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    Well a LITTLE update.... The dealer did have time today to install the hitch for our freedom trailer and did find the drive belt loose. I told him that's not the "slipping" problem I'm experiencing....no way! He did say he wanted to check the front pully also.... Not sure why. He also said they...

    Wide Vu Mirrors Upgrade

    I have them and like them a lot .... but one of my mirrors did start to vibrate and come loose after a couple seasons. So I pealed the mirror off and put a new piece of 3M a double sided foam tape back on the mirror and stuck it back on the bike. Good as new, at least for now. P.W

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    Maybe we'll go on that ride...that would be fun! Just hope our Spyder is ready by then. I just have a gut feeling this is going to be a long fix, but I could be wrong. That's another reason we decided to take it up there already....trying to get it fixed before riding season starts in full

    Tranny Slipping? Or is it just the oil?

    The dealer we went to today was about 140 miles away.... went there because we bought a 2015 Freedom trailer from them a few weeks back. While we're there to pick the trailer up, they can look at the tranny/clutches at the same time. If I had to guess it's going to be a while before we get it...
