• 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.

    General Altimax rear tire - how do you access valve stem??

    Ah! This is EXACTLY what happened! The valve is right behind a spoke. I can touch it, but there is no space to insert even a flexible extension tube. Back to the shop. Thank you!

    Do you know where to find it, or the make and model? Thank you.

    General Altimax rear tire - how do you access valve stem??

    I knew it was tubeless, so it makes sense that the valve is on the rim. I am not sure why I find it more difficult to reach it now than before then. I will check with the installer to see if they changed the valve. Thanks!

    General Altimax rear tire - how do you access valve stem??

    So is the stem mounted on the rim, or does it come with the tire? Sorry, I am obviously very ignorant about this issues....

    General Altimax rear tire - how do you access valve stem??

    Thank you for your reply. I managed to access the previous tire (stock that came with the bike) but I cannot reach this one, so there must be something different.....

    General Altimax rear tire - how do you access valve stem??

    Hello, following the good advice of many forum members I just ahd my bike shop replace the rear tire of my 2014 RT with a General Altimax RT43. I like it a lot so far, but my problem is, how in the world do people access the tire valve? The stem is turned to the left side, towards the...

    Please educate me about tire sizes

    How about if I do the front first?

    Please educate me about tire sizes

    You're right, there's a lot of good information. Nothing can replace stories from real people who went through the same process. Thank you!! Did you have any problems fitting the bigger front tires in the fender?

    Please educate me about tire sizes

    Good resource for a general understanding of how the measurement system works, thank you. I still have some practical questions, which hopefully are being/will be answered in this thread.

    Please educate me about tire sizes

    Fantastic explanation, thanks. So right now I am considering the 215/60R15 General for the rear (to replace the current 225/50R15) and the federal 165/55R15 (same size as the current tires) for the front. It sounds from your writing that that should be a good combination, do you agree? Thank you!

    Please educate me about tire sizes

    I was looking at the same front tires: Federal Formoza AZ01 All-Season Radial Tire - 165/55R15, same size as my current ones. The current rear size is 225/50R15. Can I exchange for a 215/60R15? If so, what difference would that make to the riding? and can that be matched with front size...

    Please educate me about tire sizes

    That is exactly my problem. I just do not understand what measures from my original tires can be different in the new tire. I suspect the wheel size (15) cannot be changed. How about the first two numbers (in my case, 225/50 rear and 165/55 front)? Can those be different from the original tires...

    Please educate me about tire sizes

    Hello, I need to replace the tires of my 2014 RT. I am confused about the size. I currently have 165/55R15 in the front and 225/50R15 in the rear (I think these are stock original tires). I am looking at car tires and cannot find an exact size match. What are the numbers that I must match? And...

    Custom flag wrap?

    Hello, I’m looking for an option to have a wrap for my 2014 RT with the Italian flag, and another with a KANSAS flag that would probably be to be custom-made. Small size, something to fit on the top trunk. Does anyone know if that is available anywhere? Thanks.

    This is helpful. Are there special prices for the rally attendees?

    Spyderfest and accessory installation, schedule, etc.

    Hello, I am planning to attend Spyderfest. It will be my first one, and I am a newbie Spyder rider. I am trying to understand what to expect. Will there be a daily schedule or are people left on their own? How about the option to have accessories installed by the vendors? Should I decide ahead...

    Newbie question on lights

    Hello, please forgive the basic, "silly" question, but I am a little confused about lights on my 2014 RT. I see that next to each beam light there is what appears to be a small receptacle that on my Spyder is not in use. What is that for? Also, to install fog lights do I need a full kit that...

    Trailer rock guard - how important is it?

    I did not realize a folded up ramp would cause more wind drag than a solid surface like a rock guard. One never stops learning, I guess. Good point about fitting the Spyder on the trailer. I had read the TK-1 would not fit, and I have an MC10 (for my previous motorcycle) that is way too narrow...
