• 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.

    I hate Squealing Brakes - any suggestions to stop them squealing?

    I know, another squealing brake thread. So, I have a 2013 ST-L with the Brembo brakes and 12,000 miles. I changed the OEM pads to EDC a couple of weeks ago, not so much as they were too worn, but I had read of better stopping power. Since I have switched, I can't stop the squealing. Took it back...

    What could be causing this Brake Failure Alarm?

    Well, it happened again. After further reading I found that a Brake Failure alarm is different than a parking brake issue, that is a separate alarm, (Parking Brake Failure). The two brake fluid reservoirs are full, brake pads at about double the minimum required and the brake light switch is...

    What could be causing this Brake Failure Alarm?

    I topped off the brake fluid and tweaked the micro-switch lever. I'll see if it happens again. Brake on Brake off

    What could be causing this Brake Failure Alarm?

    Thanks guys, I'll top off the brake fluid. But it seems like it must be the micro switch located on the parking brake mechanism as this resets the error.

    What could be causing this Brake Failure Alarm?

    My 2013 ST-L often has a brake failure alarm. It is obvious the parking brake is not on as it rolls easily in neutral. If I turn it off and restart the alarm clears. I have the cowling removed from the RHS and the switch is definitely activated. I can close the switch manually and the light goes...

    Front Wheel Shimmy

    Think I am going to love the Vredestein Quatrac's, they are really smooth. I should have done this years ago! Thanks for the suggestions.

    Front Wheel Shimmy

    Thanks. Where can I find a set of 165/55R15? I've tried looking around on the internet and they seem all sold out. Heck I would setting for a new set of Kendas! Actually I did find a pair of Vee Rubber VTR-350 Arachnid Tires but I have never heard of them.

    Front Wheel Shimmy

    I have a 2013 ST-L. It has about 10,000 miles on it and the original Kenda front tires. It has a shimmy which seems to be getting worse. Above 40 mph, after gong over a small bump in the road the front wheels shimmy or vibrate, even making the handlebars shake. After awhile it seems to settle...

    Put in a Cat Delete

    Well the weather has cooled off to the point that I really can't tell any temperature difference. Next summer will be the real test. It does seem to have more low end torque and a nice sound.

    Put in a Cat Delete

    Yesterday I put in a Cat Delete on my 2013 STL. Mostly to reduce the heat in the confined engine compartment. Went pretty smoothly. Glad I read jwulf74's post on tips. At first I though I had bit off more than I can chew but, got it done. Also changed the oil and filters while I was in there...

    Spyder Dock or Spyder Cuff

    I have to admit that when I first got it I thought there was no way it would fit. But with patience it did fit perfectly.

    Parasitic battery drain?

    Just an update. With the new meter, my drain is under 20mA so everything is good. My old battery was just under 1.5 years old but I think it was the problem as it is slowly dropping voltage just sitting on the bench. Trying a MotoBatt MBTX24U this time.

    Parasitic battery drain?

    Thanks everyone. I'm getting a new VOM tomorrow with a better amp meter. I will pull fuses when I get it, with the radio being the first to try.

    Parasitic battery drain?

    I do have a battery tender but it still shouldn't have a 150mA current draw when off.
