• 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.

    Considering purchasing Spyder ST with no experience_need encouragement

    My big error My suggestion to place Spyder in gear and allow it to move at slow speed. I must have been thinking of an automobile -- Spyder does not move forward in 1st gear - needs some throttle. (SE transmission). Problem is if you give it too much throttle, it may move you back in the...

    Considering purchasing Spyder ST with no experience_need encouragement

    You have some good answers.. ..don't ride as a passenger unless bike (ANY bike) has a back rest! A little throttle will really get the bike going!! Need to be aware of that. Also the semi-automatic (SE5 - SE6) would be far easier to handle than a straight manual transmission. If you ride...

    1st Night Ride

    Night tip I've found that lowering the air pressure on the rear of the bike makes the headlights shoot down the road a tad higher thus increasing the area you can see. Lowers the rear end some thus headlights are aimed higher. don

    GOING RIDING TODAY IN HOT WEATHER

    Enjoy the ride.. ..judging from past posts from 2013 RT owners, the "Fix" really does work. Photo's I've seen of the new vent look well designed to match the flow of the bike. All is well with the 2013 RT's. Will look forward to your comments about not only the bike, but of your ride today. Don

    Laser Alignment--I am convinced.

    2014 done twice Alignment done twice on my 2014 --- don't dare let go of the handle bars or I'll end up in a ditch on the right. 2010 was aligned; it ran great -- my brother and daughter had their bikes aligned and those bikes are fine. Don't have a clue what is wrong with mine?? Arm gets...

    Airhawk R

    Fully agree... All very well said. Have stock 2014 with Air Hawk. Love it. No straps here either - does not take much air. A little air goes a long way. Don

    Checking oil

    Same here.... Yep - do the same. Also use a paper towel - lay dipstick on towel and tilt 90 degrees -- will leave a wet spot and you can see your oil level easier. Don
