• 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.

    My Harley Attitude 2 cents

    Fun read through. I do the wave for two wheelers, three wheelers, and classic four wheelers. I get less 'wave backs' if I'm on the KTM than the Spyder, since nobody wants to claim an enduro as being in the 'motorcycle' club. Who give a mupf. If they don't wave back I just assume they weren't...

    Ethanol

    I just run no-ethanol gas, but I keep some of the eth treatment in the boot of each of the classic cars just in case I get stuck out.

    6 weeks and still in the shop ... could use some advice

    Glad to hear your spyder is back in your hands and happy. Dunno how anyone could mix up the Ms. and Mr. None of us guys would have admitted to crying in a forum when the spyder was still broken at the 3rd pickup attempt. :ohyea: (we still would have been crying, just not telling the group).

    Lamonts cat bypass

    Not a noticeable change in loudness on stock muffler with the cat bypass, tone changes slightly. No manual tuning changes required, takes the bike a few minutes of running to settle in and optimize itself. Caveat, mine is a 2012, Pitbull cat bypass, no other drivetrain mods.

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    Buy them back?? Not much chance. More likely air flow and tank venting mod....or maybe automatic fire extinguishing systems :roflblack:

    antenna

    +1 on the Walmart. My 2012's antenna flew off on the highway, complete including boot and double ended attachment stud. Assembly instructions apparently do not include loctite :(. Wal-mart antenna is 'okay', reception is not quite as good so if you live in the boonies like I do you might...

    Octane does matter

    Makes me wonder if the computer would recalibrate for racing fuel. Then again...at $10 a gallon I'm not thinkin I'd actually do it...more than once :).

    How much lower?

    Usually when I go to buy private I want to get in close to trade. If someone is looking at trade value, but doesn't want to trade, my thought is 'look, the dealer is at most going to buy this from you for 15,6, likely less, I'll give 1k more than the dealer and everyone is happy'. All depends...

    Traded in the 2013 RT for a 2014 RT

    Congo-Rats! I'm looking longingly at 2014 but I expect they'll have to come out with more incentive for me to justify an upgrade. Enjoy the new machine.

    Nag Screen

    After a short stop mine allows restart before nag screen, then nag screen may come up (requiring mode), or it may go right to speedo. It's been doing this for the 3 months I've owned it.

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    Me personally, I'd push on the dealer about it. Mine is parked in a carport so not a concern. At least get the complaint on record.

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    "they all do that" I was on a group ride and the only Spyder. We pulled in for a break and after a few minutes one of the guys started asking around 'hey, check your bikes guys, someone has a gas leak, I'm smellin raw gas something fierce'. Told him to relax, it's just a feature of my Spyder...

    How much lower?

    My 2012 RT A&C with 800 miles on it was 15k, I know the LTD is a much higher line model but....my friend wanted to sell it fast and he priced it at what he owed. Dealer wouldn't give him that much...he tried. With the low pricing on the 2013's, I think a 2011 is just a tough market.

    how to modifiy the GPS mount to be adjustable instead of fixed

    I'm using a Techmount, goes center of handlebars and fully adjustable. Uses ram mount fittings for the unit. $65. I'm not using a Zumo but it's the same type of mount I used when I did, I sold the Zumo when I sold the Concours and went with a GPS more suited to my uses.

    non-ethanol gas

    Living at the lake there is no-eth to be had at several locations since the 2stroke marine engines require it. I've got (don't laugh) somewhere around 15 vehicles (cars, motorcycles, watercraft) and other than the diesels and the wife's newish car they all get no-eth, either 87 or 91 depending...

    Slingshot by Polaris.......

    Why wouldn't you ride in the rain? Is it less capable than a motorcycle or spyder in rain?? I was sort of assuming the floors drained, maybe I'm wrong. If a version came out that was closer to 40 mpg I'd be interested, if it's closer to the currently claimed 27ish from testers then...
