• 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.

    Turning the Nanny off?

    Great Answer.... I felt like nanny was holding me back in the twisties in the beginning and kinda felt I wished it could be "loosened up" as it kicked in several times in the Ozark twisties 2 up, but I was pulling front wheels up and likely nanny was saving my wife and I from some bad...

    TomTom Rider 5 on 2014 Spyder Rt

    GOOD QUESTION, Can someone "in the know" answer this one?? My research shows that the gauges plug into the cluster(other threads where folks have pulled the cluster out enough to unplug those gauges from it because of accuracy issues) and if I had to "guess" would say that if you buy the...

    Car tires

    I only know 1 thing for sure!! I definitely hated the factory Kenda rear wearing out at 6000 miles...I will end up like others trying a different tire each cycle till I find one I love.....but I know it won' t be factory tires... And as long as this thread doesn't morph into amsoil, iridium...

    Calling all 2014-2015 RT owners with "Belt Vibration"

    My experience is limited but I'll toss in my 2/cents.. I have had a little vibration in the 73 to 81 mph range....I am positive it is belt harmonics (in my mind anyway)...I recently changed rear tire and a member here pointed out my belt alignment issue (hard against inner lip of rear...

    WOW, that was fast...........New rear tire needed soon!!

    So good so far..What about pressures??????? I have been playing with pressures on the rear Kumho tire since installation and it appears to ride best(no sway or wiggle and not rough) at 26 1/2 lbs so I am running 26 1/2 lbs rear and 20 lbs front (cold) Does this sound about right on stock...

    WOW, that was fast...........New rear tire needed soon!!

    On the rear, if you pull the tire, pull the stuff off (disc, pully,ect) a std tire machine can change/balance it.......on the front it appears as simple as pulling the rim and taking to car tire shop, but not sure on that as I am still running originals on front and they still look great at 7000...

    WOW, that was fast...........New rear tire needed soon!!

Bearings looked good,.belt tension looks good, new tire in place balanced and rolling good, and put about 100 miles on it to check everything....I really can' t tell any difference between stock yet.....wet weather will tell the tale......so far I just don' t feel any difference and...

    Any tips for taming the 'Dragon'?

    what seemed to help me...... Was adding some air to the front tires in the Ozark twisties...went to 24-25 lbs cold......it seemed to lean a tad less and stay planted a bit better on my stock 2014 RT Sm6....I don' t know much about these reverse trikes yet but I got the feeling the Baja Ron mod...

    Thanks for the responses Y'all... Lotta good info here .......The Kumho has arrived now and I will be swapping em this coming weekend as the Kenda was hydroplaning in moderate rain at 35 mph on my (last minute decision) run to Natchez to eat at Big Mama's yesterday.....Using the info on another...

    WOW, that was fast...........New rear tire needed soon!!

    Sounds like Kumho is going to be the way to go for me on the rear, probably stay with OEM size for this tire, may try others later on....My front tires still look like new but I did have them do a very careful laser alignment right after I bought it...It is my limited understanding that the...
