• 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.

    Slide Over Spyder - Honda’s Neo-Wing

    They had this at the 2015 Tokyo motorcycle show beginning of April. If you could get on the "special person" list, you could even demo ride it before/after the event. It's the real deal, but who knows if it will ever see production. On another note, the Tokyo motorcycle show should definitely...

    Bigger Front Wheels

    If you have an SE forget about it. The SM is much more forgiving and the older SM is even more forgiving stock. Some have relocated the sensors to one wheel, others have been able to "adjust" the position of the sensors on the tone ring, others I "heard" are removing/narrowing a few teeth...

    alignment specifications

    The length does affect the measurements considerably. That's why there is no real "magic number" anyone can post for the shade tree method. The laser system just allows for consistent specs firing the lasers to a set distance target. You could do the same with tapes and bars to, once you...

    alignment specifications

    Because there really isn't a necessity to fabricate anything, and cost absolutely nothing to do but a bit of time with common materials found around most garages. Further, doing it yourself gives you the ability to dial in your own setup. The "alignment" changes constantly as you ride and the...

    alignment specifications

    I have no clue what the official alignment specs are, but there are quite few of us that have done our own shade tree alignment with 2 lengths of angle iron attached to the wheels and 2 tape measures. We shoot for 1/16" toe in with the weight of the rider on the Spyder. Personally, I've gone...

    ALARM AND/OR CUTOUT SWITCH

    Isn't that what the DESS is for, to prevent it from starting without the key? Heck, many don't even want to start WITH the key....😉 Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Is it enough to cause a lean condition (P0174)

    Check the big rubber boots that attach the throttle body to the motor for cracks. Purge valve could be sticking open too. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    uh oh stripped drain plug

    Hell must be frozen over because I agree with you.[emoji38] I only use torque wrenches when I have multiple fasteners that need to be consistently the same torque, like a head for example or something very specific. The routine maintenance stuff is way more common sense. Like I tell my kid...

    Is it enough to cause a lean condition (P0174)

    No. It isn't THAT sensitive. Your leak is VERY small, and likely seals itself up when hot? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Helmets?

    If I'm locking it to the bike I just use an inexpensive bicycle cable lock through the passenger hand hold. Otherwise I take it with me or put it in the trunk. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    GS vs F3

    35 years?😂😂😂??? Say what? 1998 was the first year of the v990 and it has 18 years of tried and true race and reliability history. The 1330 is 2 years old, so while the "wave of the future" performance and long term reliability are yet to be proven. The revs a motor runs means absolutely...

    draining oil off of car ramps

    On my 12' RS I get 4 qts on a drain with the fronts on ramps. I tried once where I rolled it back off the ramps to see if any additional oil drained out, and none did. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
