• 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.

    What kind of helmet when you have a high windscreen?

    I've always worn a full face. the windshield won't make a bit of difference if you are tossed off the bike. Arai for me, but always had riders envy for the Schuberth. I've seen one, a teacher had it. She rode to work every day. Very nice, precision, refined.

    New and First Time Spyder Owner

    Gentle at first. It will take a bit for muscle memory to fade after so many years of countersteering. You'll get used to it, but it will take several times, and can be frustrating. I fought mine at first. If you've ever ridden 4 wheelers or snowmobiles, you'll get it sooner. But, you'll catch...

    Seller owes Sheffield $$ - how to proceed?

    Normal course would be pay seller, seller pays off note, seller receives title, forwards to you. You need a contract, signed and notary seal. If the seller doesn't pay and follow through, it's gets ugly at that point. You may opt to issue checks to finance company and seller to try and make it...

    Oil and filters cost

    The post mentioning that was from January of 2013. Two filters, 5 quarts of oil and o-rings would have been about right at 75 from BajaRon back then. If you are sold on AmSoil, quite possibly more now. There are other options that will give very good performance, some on par with AmSoil, for...

    syn or blend oil

    Sorry to keep quoting you. Diesel oils, since the CK designation a couple years back, are much more like gas engine oils now. Lower Z and P, so the DPF, (soot trap) lasts longer and regens are reduced. Older diesel oils ( there are still a few CJ oils) has much higher levels of anti-wear...

    syn or blend oil

    By your own information, that oil was no longer good. It may have had TBN left (acid buffer) and anti-wear additives in sufficient quantities (Zinc, Phosphorus, Ti, Moly) but failed in viscosity. 9000 miles is way too long in a shared sump engine. You'll counter with "yeah but Can-Am tested it...

    Oil and filters cost

    I've stated before how I feel about the gouging going on with oil changes. DIY, as low as 35. for a full synthetic, filter and o-rings, and 2 beers on the new triple. The old twin took a little longer, but with the replacement panel, it wasn't bad.

    Stripped out handlebar bolt :(

    It went bad for him, unfortunately. Most of us don't have the trouble he had. Took about 20 minutes, start to finish. No snark intended here. I feel for him. But I know that bolt is NOT impossible to get out, he just hasn't found the key for the lock yet.

    Stripped out handlebar bolt :(

    That is not a 500 repair. A welder with a tig machine and 20 minutes would have that out. Said it before. When working with Allen or Torx the bit is the most important piece. Still like my VIM bits. Never let me down.

    Mean people suck

    No, he's pi$$ed he wants a Harley and is riding a Japanese Honda. No helmet, no license for flying the bird. He may want to let the raccoon out of the tail bag too. Jerks like that don't get one second of my time.

    Alternate Brembo caliper pad part numbers

    And I agree. All I did was list the available options. You need to do a bit of research and decide what's right for you and your riding. 2dogs"BajaRon for brake pads, he only sells the best." EBC are very good for sure. But "best" is subjective. There are equivalent pads for half of EBC, and...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finally fixed (I think) squeaky front brakes by installing new pads and lubing the pins, tension clips and pad backs with VersaChem. So far so good. If interested, a Semi Met/Ceramic pad.
