• 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.

    My Attempt at the Fixing the Horrid Fuel Smell

    It is because your two (2 inch) manifold pipes are a half inch from the front of the gas tank with only limited shielding which doesn't protect the gas tank FROM the heat. In turn it makes your gas boil in the tank sending a lot of gas fumes into the canister overloading it and now you...

    My Attempt at the Fixing the Horrid Fuel Smell

    Gas fumes from boiling gas tank and increase mpg You can play with the canister all you want it will not stop the gas fumes. They are coming from your gas tank boiling from the 2 manifold pipes. I no longer have gas fumes now even when it gets to around 110-120 out here in the high desert. I...

    My Attempt at the Fixing the Horrid Fuel Smell

    If you want to stop the gas fumes wrapped the modifold pipes. It will stop the boiling of the gas plus keep it cooler under the plastic. What helped my mpg beside cooling the compartment was changing the air box to a new 12" round air cleaner. Now I have more power at 3K rpms then I did at...

    My Attempt at the Fixing the Horrid Fuel Smell

    Gas fumes and mpg No I left the cat alone and yes it does put out heat but not to the gas tank. It was the 2 manifold pipes that was heating up the gas tank and creating all the gas fumes. When I wrapped the manifold pipes it cooled it down so much that I didn't have a boiling gas tank or hot...

    Gas fumes I have found the reason for the gas fumes. I live in the high desert of Northern AZ and it seems when it gets hot under the body you get the fumes. It is because your two 2 inch manifold pipes are a half inch from the front of the gas tank with only shadow shielding which doesn't...

    Front wheel wobble.

    Front end wobble I have a 2012 RT Limited and at 5,000 miles I got a wobble that was so bad it almost racked me. I took it to the dealer on a trailer it wasn't ride able. The tech took it off and tried to ride it in the parking lot and was so bad they took it right into the shop. They found out...

    No wunder the gas tanks get hot!

    Gas tank boiling Working on my 2012 Spyder RT Limited I found that the pipes (both) are within a half inch of the front of the gas tank. The gas tank front only has two small heat shields. I wrapped the pipes and don't have much heat now. A friend took out his air box and replaced it with a...

    Can we talk about tire pressure

    Car tires instead of stock tires. We have sharp curves up through the mtns with strong cross winds and speed limit 75 mph. On those roads you better be doing 80 plus not to be run down. With stock I was lucky to go 65 mph. With car tire on rear it was so much safer and was able to pass big...

    Can we talk about tire pressure

    Stock tires are junk I guess you were lucky not to have one of your front tires come apart inside giving you a death wobble almost wrecking the bike. Even the shop couldn't get it off the lot. You know all that safety stuff that is suppose to shut you down when something goes wrong? Well it...

    Strong gas fumes Goes anyone know we're the strong gas fumes are coming from on the 2012 RT's? I find the smell strong on the right side all the time. I put back the old gas cap and made no difference. I used soap & water spray and found no leaks. :shocked: RJ
