• 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.

    What tire pressure?

    Good info but..... I will probably drop it down to about 24 psi but it looks flat at those pressures! But then it is a car tire on a non leaning roadster motorcycle which will take some getting used to.

    What tire pressure?

    I just put on a new Kumho Ecsta AST 225/50R15 on my 2015 RTL. The OEM only got 11160 miles. Pretty disappointing. I ran the suggested pressure from the owners manual at 28 lbs. It wore out a 3 " strip right in the middle of the tire. My question to the learned members of this forum is what...

    Arkansas Ridei

    I am leaving Sunday with some of my firefighter buddies to go to Harrison Arkansas to meet up with a couple of hundred other firefighters for a gathering on the 6th thru the 9th.

    Tire valve stems

    Weight and balance? I want a 90 degree valve stem so it's easier to check pressure and it looks like you would have better access on the right side. Would a steel valve stem mess with the weight and balance of the rear wheel? Where can I get one?

    iPod Nano Question

    I have a 2015 RTL and I want to get an I POD Nano to use exclusively for going down the road. My owners manual list says 5th & 6th generation are compatible. Does this mean that the latest greatest 7th generation won't work or did Apple allow for the older technology when they updated. I would...

    590 Garmin replacement

    Check your insurance policy My insurance policy has a replacement clause for anything like helmets, Garmin, riding gear etc. and I think it is no deductible. So check your policy first.

    No adult supervision

    Dealer / What dealer? The closest dealer for me is 120 miles away and we don't like them! Our Spyder Club guys are pretty handy with most things. So to answer your question.... This was a self induced problem. I can't blame anyone else. I fixed the issue by using a plug that has a bolt head...

    I have about 9000 miles on Stanley, my 2015 RTL so I bought all the stuff to do an oil change, My SpYder club guy who helps me with my maintenance (the adult supervision) and his wife are on a ride to Oregon, so I decided I would do it myself. I got my SpYder lift and got it blocked up and...
