• 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.

    Hooligan Race track????

    I would be happy to help in any way I can. I won't be racing but I would not miss it. Count me in as a volunteer Corner Marshall, Starter, Whatever you need. Now, if you did the race with clocked lap times, one at a time on the track, then I would be in. (It's a "control your own destiny" thing)

    Juice box settings at service.

    My dealer was the one who said if you have intake AND exhaust, NOT having a Juice box could void you engine warrenty if you melt a piston from being too lean...... I would say it varies dealer to dealer. Also, if you have added mods that make the mechaic work harder to get at stuff, then you...

    What causes my clutch to slip?

    Something has to give! With that much boost you will either over drive the clutch (which the nanny will allow to happen) or you will overdrive the rear tire (which the nanny will stop from happening at over 35mph) If you have tried all the aftermarket clutches (and you have) then there are...

    Motorcycle Study Survey Card

    Good info Doc! Brandspark is just a marketing firm. They work for money. The question is not "who is Brandspark?" The question is " Who is paying them for this?" That info will not likely be public....and it could be anybody (including Honda)

    insurance rates

    I just got a notice from progressive that my rate would drop too. I think it is not because of your experience but because of Progressives experience with the the Spyder. It takes a couple of years to create the statistics they use to rate individual vehicles. It is not that a Spyder is cheap to...

    Erratic Idle

    I just ordered a set of coils and 8.5 mm wires from MSD. The trick should be to match the primary resistance of the new coils with OEM and the secondary resistance with the type of plug wires you are going to use. I spent yesterday on the phone with MSD engineer. I will post details if and...

    Oil Drain Plug Issue ... Solved!

    I was in Daytona last week and I met a guy and his wife at the hotel. He was selling aftermarket oil drain plugs. I thought, cool! I have had issues with the stupid alan drain plug already and had to buy one at NAPA (with no magnet)after I had to use a punch and hammer to get the OEM one out...

    A Dab of dielectric silicone grease on the tip of the plug and it will both seal it from moisture and make it come off easier when the time comes.

    Spyder Race

    I am thinking, turn off nanny and put them on a short dirt oval with the proper tires and run it like a outlaw sprint car (sideways all the way!) The reality is that it would be a very boring race as these things are not fast enough nor do they handle well enough.(not that I don't love it on...

    Another myth debunked

    You can't really make this assumtion. The speedo and the odo are not nessesarly directly related. If you change tire size it will affect both the same way but just because the stock speedo reads fast does not mean the odo reads high (in your case it seems that it does but it does not always work...

    Erratic Idle

    Yep, I think I am ready for plug wires too. I have had an intermittent missfire for some time. I change the plugs and it goes away but it comes back within 1000 miles. (I am thinking out loud now.) When I change the plugs I always add a bit of silicone grease to the plug boot. That grease may be...
