• 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.

    Vibration at interstate speeds -- Input please - 2012 Spyder RT Limited - 4200 miles

    I use 19/28 for the tires. My front right tire vibrates when cold at about 40 mph but goes away. My belt, as well as almost all belts, will have a vibration. The vibration you feel might be lessened if the tension were less. Mine vibrates at 4000 rpm. Not hard to keep it above 4K so it is not a...

    What people say to Spyder riders

    I parked at my hotel tonight and a couple were nearby smoking. The wife had seen the RT the night before and said she would ride that. They talked for 30 minutes. I was only able to leave because THEY were now late to work. I like to ride both fast at times or take my time. When a fast moving...

    Cracked block - maybe

    :agree: My new RT-S SE5 had a pinched O-Ring from the factory. The oil started to leak out in about 100 miles and made a big mess. I had oil all over both sides of the trike and even on the dash! I thought I lost all my oil and the SE was having a hard time shifting. Turns out less than a Qt was...

    What is your maintenance routine?

    Check oil before and after every long ride. Check tire pressure before every log ride. Change oil every 4000 miles using Amsoil Complete all required service that I can do myself.

    ALWAYS USE HIGH BEAMS DURING THE DAY!

    I agree to run with the high beams. When I lead a ride with 10+ spyders behind me I can tell exactly which ones have their high beams on. The ones with low beams get totally lost in my view.

    Brakes making sounds since Elkas installed

    My stock 2012 RT-S also makes the loud click when the brakes are applied. It has done this from day 1. It is much worst after changing direction, going backward then foreword.
