• 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.

    Radio reception

    I was surprised by the poor radio reception on my RT. I see a blank on the left side, opposite the antenna on the right. Will adding another antenna here improve the reception? Is there a kit available to do this? Maybe just changing the antenna to a better one will improve the reception? Any...

    Spyder Accidents

    This past Saturday I took out my two-wheeler because it's been neglected lately. I put my signal on to make a left hand turn and go into the turning lane and some guy went around me and almost hit me. If I was on the spider he just might have hit the front wheel. I pulled up next to him and was...

    Considering a Leftover ST-S: Questions

    NYS Licensing Requirements?

    Get the MC permit, take the 2 wheel course and they will provide the motorcycle. The license you get after the 2 wheel course will allow you to operate 2 or 3 wheelers.

    Weight distribution

    Well Bob, it turns out you were correct!!! My original assumption, just by observing the vehicle (engine position, estimated weight of components, etc.) was that each wheel carried about 1/3 of the total weight of the vehicle. Even though several folks said the weight distribution was 50/50, I...

    Weight distribution

    This info confirms what Snowbelt Spyder said, and this is the info I need. I have to modify a trailer I built for my quads. The quads are 48" wide and the Spyder is 62". I was hoping the front wheels only carry 250 lbs. each, and that looks like that is the case.

    Weight distribution

    I do it something like this: http://www.boatus.com/magazine/trailering/2013/June/tongue-weight-diy.asp I usually keep my tongue weight at 12%. Most commercially available utility trailers that I have checked come from the factory with a tongue weight of 10-12% when empty. If you know the...

    Weight distribution

    Most of the information I have seen on trailer tongue weight is that it should be 9-15% of the loaded weight of the trailer. Some boat trailer manufacturers recommend a 20% tongue weight because boat trailers typically have the axle further away from the trailer coupler because of the unique...

    Weight distribution

    That helps me a lot. I was thinking that it could be about 350 per wheel but now that I know the front wheels only carry about 250 each it will be much easier to set up this trailer. Thanks for your help!!

    Considering Purchasing a Spyder - A Few Questions?

    The best way to find out which model suits you is to test ride them. Once you've decided on a model, check prices on line and use that as a negotiating tool. I don't know how far upstate you are but I can recommend Jerry at Crossbay Motorsports in Queens. They will let you test ride. They were...

    Weight distribution

    I know my RT weighs just over 1000 lbs. Does anyone know how much of that weight is on the front wheels and how much is on the back? I'm setting up my quad trailer to carry the RT and that info would be helpful if anyone knows.

    That's true!! Every time I park I get a crowd of people checking it out and asking questions.

    Looking at an RT

    Rent one and spend the day on it. My understanding is that it takes some time to get a good feel for it if you only have motorcycle experience. My 4 wheeler experience probably helped my learning curve because in 10 minutes I was comfortable on the Spyder. Another thing that made my decision...
