• 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.

    Finally have to replace a Vredestein rear tire.

    Could the center-wear be due to ballooning? (Or is that just on the particular structure of those Chinese OEM tires?)

    I saw this model trike toy on Amazon - similar to an F3

    Naw, it was the kickstand. Made from a soda straw, and wouldn't hold her up!

    Stupid Question: Ideal RPM to shift gear?

    You cannot damage anything by "lugging" the engine, except by opinion, since the automatic downshift timing is engineered to prevent that. In fact, that's the sole purpose of that downshift, I think. Same with the upshift: the paddle only "requests" the shift... Nanny then performs it only...

    What's the Best way to fix this tire?

    Boil a box of Quaker Oats, add 1 & 1/3 lbs. of Grandma's Texas Honey, then stir together until well-mixed, and finally, blend in about six ounces of heated Elmer's New and Improved White Glue as a curing agent. Remove the valve-core to pump all the mixture into the tyre, then replace core...

    What Life/Mileage can I expect from a 2016 RT engine?

    I rolled up 113,000 myles Saturday, and that 1330 still purrs like new. And uses negligible oil.

    Tires.... discussing tread types & patterns.

    BajaRon: When radial tires first hit the market, the recommendation was to never rotate them side to side, because once they are "broken-in" to a given direction they should continue in that direction for the life of the tire. Has that admonition gone away now with more modern radial tires?

    A Message for the Moderators

    Great point! Any Forum like this is just a microcosm of life itself. Is life itself all positive? Of course not! So, would a Forum really be honest if it pretended otherwise? I suppose each of us must find our own answer, and that's perfectly okay, too.

    MPG & How does the computer establish miles remaining?

    Remember? Heck, I never did forget! I already knew that stuff, that's why I refill at 200 miles. I now have over 112,000 miles, and my ICE still runs like new. ;)

    MPG & How does the computer establish miles remaining?

    I go 200 miles per tank, about 50m per quarter, and the gauge shows essentially empty. But it then takes only 5 to 5.5 gallons to refill, indicating I have a gallon or more left when the gauge shows empty. (The 2015 doesn't have computer MPG feature. But the one in my car isn't really accurate...

    Manual Trans Riders - does downshifting/engine braking hurt?

    Let's also remind SE users that downshifting manually is very UNlikely to damage the engine or anything else in the drive-line. This is because the nanny will not allow any shift to occur where the engine RPM:wheel speed ratio would be outside the safe operating range after the shift. Of...

    Should we purchase this Extended Warranty for 2022 RT?

    My RPM1 warranty service was always and only with my selling dealer, and included BUDS whenever necessary. In fact, it was this dealer who sold me the RPM1.
