• 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.

    While on a ride with our club, about 60 miles from home and after a short rest stop my check engine light came on. Bike was running fine so I rode it on home.

    Purchased a new Battery 6 months ago - now it's dead Again! Help?!

    The Interstate guy said it was the new chargers that would not charge if the battery was below a certain level. All they did was hook up a set of jumper cables to a good battery and charge both at the same time. He also said the initial charge didn't make that much difference in battery life.

    Yes, the acid came seperate and had to be added then charged for 24 hr on tricle charger at 2.5 amps. I have a gps transmitter that uses battery current so it is on a maintainer most of the time when not being ridden. You should be able to buy one heck of a replacement for the price of two...

    Check Engine Light

    Stopped at the dealer's yesterday and they said to bring it in and they would hook it up to Buds and reset the light. They said it was rare that you get a light and no code but it does happen. Said it was probably just a computer glitch. Problem is it raining today, got 1 1/2 inch last night...

    Check Engine Light

    I have done the search and read a bunch of the post but still do not have an answer. I have also done the remove key and walk around and disconnect battery to no avail. How do you get the check engine light and the blinking orange screen to dissappear if you do not have a code. I know some...

    2011 RT SM5 will not start in gear

    OK, here is what was happening. Some time ago I had installed some foam grips. Over time the grips had hardened enough to prevent the clutch lever from activating the small micro switch. The switch is activated by a small pin on the clutch lever. By placing a small piece of plastic tube over...

    2011 RT SM5 will not start in gear

    My 2011 RT SM 5 will no longer start while in gear with the clutch lever pulled. It will start in neutral with lever pulled or not. I suspect the problem is the smallmicro switch located on the bottom of the clutch lever but have not done any testing to verify. Anyone else had this problem...

    Trailer Jack

    For those of you who pull a trailer and carry a spare tire, what kind of jack do you carry? My aluminum wheels are, according to the trailer mfg. supposed to torque at 80 ft lb, do you also carry a torque wrench, long cheater bar or what? Anyone actually need the spare?

    Trailer light harness

    Trailering a Spyder RT

    A regular coating of Aerospace 303 will protect those tires from the damage caused by UV. I have a 6 X 12 dove tail with a 32 inch ramp and have no problem loading my 2011 RT. The dove tail adds another 24 inches to the incline.
