• 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.

    Tires General Altimax Opservation

    OK rode 70 miles today at 20 psi. I have to ride 1 mile of dirt before I get to the pavement. The ride over the studder bumps was softer, then I have about 7 or 8 cattle guard to cross to get to town. The ride over the guards was softer and I did not get as much rear tire kick up as before so...

    Tires General Altimax Opservation

    Ok I did not mean to start a tire war here. My statement was that 28 psi in an Altimax was too high. 24 was better 20 or 18 may be even better I have not tried them yet. Now arguing 2 psi tire changes without everyone using a calibrated gauge is an exercise in futility. The gauge I use is...

    Tires General Altimax Opservation

    OK I dropped it 20 today probably will not ride again untill Tuesday. One of the problems about arguing about tire pressure at these pressures is gauge accuracy. Is my gauge reading the same as yours? if not how off are we? I got at least 4 gauges and don't think any of then read the...

    Tires General Altimax Opservation

    The rear tire on my ST limited had bare spots at 7000 miles. The local shop Sierra Cycles Sieraa Vista Az keeps the General Altimax in stock and will mount them so I went that way. The first ride with the Altimax the bike felt squirrely and was reacting to small road variations. cracks, tar...

    17 RT-S possible purchase

    I would pass on the 2010 with 60K on it. I have a 2017 RTS I think it would be a good choice for you. A lot smother running than the 998 and shift points are lower.

    New Spyderlover looking for advice

    I am 76 also my wife and i have a 2014 ST Limited 998 engine and a 2017 RTS 1330 engine. The three cylinder is much easier to ride and the RT is just all round a more comfortable machine to ride. I guarantee you will be happier with a newer machine with the 1330 engine and probably find the RT...

    Need to trailer 2 Spyders an RT and F3 with saddlebags

    I have gone thru this. You really need an 18 foot trailer. U haul does not normally carry that size but the local equipment rental places almost always have them. You have to bring it back to where you rented it.

    i hear, we hear, they say. Ok what bike do you ride now that gets more than 10,000 on a tire? Arguing about tires is like arguing about women. What do you want? Mileage or performance? I want a tire that sticks like glue in every corner and will pull more gee's than I can take. Old...

    Front suspension upgrade for the 2013 ST LTD.
