• 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.

    Possible New Site Sponsor Soon ! (not really)

    :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:. We were soaked to the skin too on the bottom half. Luckily the jackets worked great. I had a set of frogtogg's for the trip and they didn't work. From what I heard the only people who weren't soaked were the GoreTex folks. I'm a cheap #!@ so it looks like the...

    Great Time At "Spyders in the Adirondacks"

    Highways suck. As do main corridors. We took all secondaries home and it was INCREDIBLE. Found some wicked fun roads leavin Lake Placid. The only Main road we were on, which sucks as well is rte 73 to Elizabethtown. Talked to a couple of bikers at a stop in the back country and they said the...

    Great Time At "Spyders in the Adirondacks"

    Just wanted to share how great of a time we had at SITA. We arrived home at 6 p.m. after an amazing ride through the mountains in 2 states. We chose to ride today instead of going to the casino for the awards banquet because of yesterday's rain. Really wanted to go for a cruise so we did that on...

    I Swear On My Mothers Grave !!!

    So what? The track has potential blowout depending on the surface running on. Dry hot tar with a big fat tire is a totally different thing. I'm not saying the guy was telling the truth. I'm merely suggesting it might be possible with the correct weight transfer. Hard to believe but hey, weirder...

    I Swear On My Mothers Grave !!!

    I would imagine it is possible, Riding sleds it's fairly easy to get the skis off the ground with proper clutching and enough power. I can say that coming down the brook road last week while racing with a motorcycle the spyder actually went airborne off a bridge on a S curve. I juiced it to...

    Someone please help...

    I can only share my own personal experience so here goes; Same issue! I have a wb air fuel gauge and have been able to visually see what's going on with the mixture when hot. For some reason, the minute you add a free flowing air filter the problems begin. I have noticed that when extremely...

    Comfort Seat/Sport Rack/Back Rest Question

    We ordered a Corbin for my wife's machine and hated it. It was a nice piece but it changed the riding position drastically moving you up and forward. I would go with the BRP system. Definately sit on a Corbin before you invest in one.

    So you think you can ride

    That's too much work! Made me dizzy!:helpsmilie: Guess I'd have to "lay off the sauce" if I ever wanted to try something like that. Still waiting for an "auto pilot" for the Spyder, then maybe....:coffee:

    Spyder's in the Adirondaks

    Can anyone tell me if it will be possible to register my wife for this event even though registration is closed? We just found out yesterday that she can go and found coverage for our daughter. Thanks!:dontknow:

    Tuning the JB Pro w/Wideband Air/Fuel Gauge

    I totally agree. Mine was way over the top rich. Moving into the mid to low 11's at times. Now I have the cruise areas set in the low 13's (still pulling 36 MPG)and when I hit it it drops to mid to upper 12's and she gets up and "go's". I actually checked to see how far I could push it to the...

    Belt tension and the Krikit

    my wife's se5 rs reads 180 as set by the dealer(new spec). my sm5 rs is set to 160. I'm kinda glad mine is a little on the light side as I picked up 2 stones in the rear pulley a while back at the same time. No damage to the belt or pulley but had to push them out with a screwdriver.

    Tuning the JB Pro w/Wideband Air/Fuel Gauge

    Update As I suspected, The Spyder was running way too rich. I have since reloaded the stock map 3 into the jb pro and have done quite a bit of tweaking to the low end. When I ran just the dual exhaust with the factory box and filter it ran just fine in the low end. It seems the minute you...

    Almost became a statistic yesterday!

    Absolutely! Yes! I guess I could try to ride under one next time and slice off a hind quarter on the way through with the machete I carry on my back.:roflblack:

    Almost became a statistic yesterday!

    So glad you came out of that unscathed! I had a close encounter with a 1000+ pound moose (full rack) about 2 weeks ago on my way to Stowe VT. I've never payed much attention to the moose crossing signs until now. I was doing about 56 coming around a tight corner when I saw movement coming out of...
