• 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.

    Do you think this will work?

    Do you think this will work?

    That is absolutely correct about the radiation. Heat is conducted three ways, conduction, convection, and radiation. Fiberglass wrap cannot stop convection (the real villain in the case of burning legs), it cannot stop conduction for long (just try to touch your wrapped pipes), and is only very...

    Do you think this will work?

    By all means try it for yourself if you wish. Just don't try to touch the pipes after they've been wrapped and the engine has been running for a bit. My infrared thermometer tops out at 850 degrees F and only reads "Hi" (overload) when I try to read the wrapped pipe temperature. I saw no...

    Are head pipes stainless steel?

    Wrapping your pipes in an effort to reduce excess heat is worthless. Do not waste your time or money. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?52269-ST-heat-on-left-side&p=646540#post646540

    Tupperware Finish

    They are painted with a paint conditioned for use on plastic much the way plastic car bumpers are painted. There are special additives you can add to paint for use on flexible plastics.

    ST heat on left side

    Don't waste your time and money with exhaust wrap, it's worthless for this particular problem. The original purpose of exhaust wrap was to attempt to increase the exhaust gas temperature in an effort to decrease its density. This is called exhaust scavenging and it is an attempt to gain a little...

    AWESOME combo: Shock Relocator--Swaybar--Elka shocks

    I can confirm this. I have an EVO bar on my RS-S. A friend let me borrow his BajaRon bar while he was on vacation for a week. The BajaRon bar performed significantly better. I was not expecting this because they were the same diameter so I made the swap several more times to compare them again...

    AWESOME combo: Shock Relocator--Swaybar--Elka shocks

    Even if you don't care about comfort, you shouldn't compromise safety. Increasing the spring rate (as well as tire pressures) beyond reason can compromise safety so please go easy. Proper suspension and tire performance is much more important to improved handling performance than just dialing...

    AWESOME combo: Shock Relocator--Swaybar--Elka shocks

    Unfortunately there are only two choices in shocks for the Spyder right now to the best of my knowledge, stock oem or high performance. The least expensive high performance that I know of are the Fox shocks for around $400 but they don't sell a set for the RT although some have used those meant...

    AWESOME combo: Shock Relocator--Swaybar--Elka shocks

    Agree but with some important caveats... Your post is much appreciated and anyone following your recommendations will almost assuredly enjoy better handling performance from their Spyder. However I'd just like to point out one perpetuating misconception that might be interpreted from your...

    @$@%#%^@ Limp Mode!

    Of course BRP has the ability to turn it on or off but the user doesn't unless they defeat the system which is possible but certainly not advisable. The VSS is not junk, it actually significantly improves the safety and drivability of the Spyder. Fortunately or unfortunately we're all going to...

    @$@%#%^@ Limp Mode!

    You're talking theory not reality. The Spyder is not inherently stable without the VSS, BRP readily admits this and even demonstrates it in their training DVD. Bob is correct, an inherently stable three wheeled vehicle probably would not be practical and/or marketable.

    Exterior blue lights are restricted by law to police vehicles in many states. I would use green. But it does look awesome.:thumbup:

    Demo up in Smoke

    :cus: happens. That's too bad. I remember giving a demo of a high tech robot for very high level management. The demo was impressive and had worked perfectly a hundred times. But right in the middle of this most important demo the robot's hand broke off and destroyed the expensive part it was...

    I guess I didn't think of myself as "old" until I read this, but this brings back so many great memories. What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up? McDonalds was kinda new but my father knew of a no-name lookalike that sold 5 burgers for a dollar. With four kids this was too...
