• 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.

    Mobil oil!

    The bottle in the picture says API SG, SH/CF Jaso MA. Manual for the 2013 RT says "... API service SL, SJ, SH, or SG classification." So he shouldn't have a problem.

    The tank is still vented, condensation will still form and be absorbed by the alcohol causing phase separation of the gasoline. Granted that we don't have all the carb parts to be clogged up by ethanol gunk, the gas is still subject to phase separation. The longer it sets the worse your bike...

    RT SE5 "Emergency Kit" Contents?

    Roadside assistance plan that will tow at least 100 miles. I use Ride-On in my tires. Some others here use it, some won't. I have never had any problems with using it, no complaints from techs that have swapped tires for me and it has saved me from some flats on the road.

    Ride-on balancing issues

    I agree with Ron on checking for a bad tire. I have run Ride on for years in different bikes and never had the issues you have reported here, nor have I ever heard of someone having that issue. If your issue was solely alignment driven I think it would be manifesting itself in other ways than...

    Has my clutch fallen apart?

    You should probably keep the order open. Then you will have some to carry with you to medicate the inevitable idiot you run into that is offended beyond belief that you are riding that contraption that just violates all of his/her preconceived notions of what a motorcycle should be.

    2013 Limited, Bad Battery?

    A battery that is severely depleted or has a bad cell won't spin the starter. The battery may test out as having 12+ volts but when you hit the starter the voltage drops down to less than 10 volts. On the other hand, if the battery is measuring above 12 volts and voltage does not drop when he...

    2013 Limited, Bad Battery?

    I would check the connections first, but if you have a meter you can do a quick load test at home. Measure the voltage at the battery jumper connections at the top of the frunk. Then measure with the key on, the voltage should drop just a bit but you should be above 12 volts. Then while...

    Gas station question (Rant)

    Not all stations do that so you really have to watch. When we lived in Kissimmee, FL there was a Shell station in the middle of a strip mall area (13725 S Apopka Vineland Rd, Orlando, FL 32821). I remembered their credit card price as being ridiculous so I just looked it up. A review from 6...

    Army Best Warrior Competition

    Someone posted the other day about traveling to D.C. because his son was participating the Army Best Warrior Competition. I ran across some links that will give you an idea of what is involved in the competition...

    Tent campers: How do you handle meals

    The mention of REI reminded me. I have always had a problem with air mattresses and have never found a decent cot that wouldn't eat up all of our storage space so we went with a Thermarest self inflating. It has been awhile since we got them but I believe this...

    Tent campers: How do you handle meals

    We have done some extended camping on the Spyder. We had a cooler rack put on the trailer tongue which helped a bunch. As was stated before, stop somewhere along the way to purchase items for your upcoming meals (we were usually only spending one night per location). You do need to look at...

    Valvoline™ 4-Stroke Motorcycle Full Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil

    4 stroke means the piston does four strokes to complete the power cycle (intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust), all Spyders have four stroke engines.

    Drive shaft

    I love shaft drive, especially on touring bikes. But, unfortunately, it seems like the trend is toward belts. Even Yamaha has gone to belts on their cruiser lines.

    Does it ever calm down?

    Bob asked if your bike had been laser aligned. Not being properly aligned can cause that. You can find a ROLO dealer near you at http://spydercomfort.com/dealers.htm
