• 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.

    Advice on ST (Update). I won’t go back to 2 wheels.

    Congrats. Yes, get the airflow panel kits. It won't come up on a vin search as it is a Goodwill Fix, not a recall. Absolutely essential ... more to stop components from melting (eg stator) than anything else...

    DEATH OF AMERICAN STEEL

    You missed my point totally. The new tariff relates to imports to USA. Many posters presumed the tariff was aimed at China, and therefore would solve their ills. My list simply showed that USA imports higher volumes of steel from ten countries ahead of China. Definitely not having a go at...

    DEATH OF AMERICAN STEEL

    We have a Jeep - "American tin" you think? .... Made in Austria Trade is global, a reality whether we like it or not, and economic history shows that trying to hold back the tide via tariffs will NOT re-open any closed factories .... Good luck with that TRainwave

    DEATH OF AMERICAN STEEL

    Why would China be at all fussed about the steel tariffs!? Do you think this is aimed at China? Bzzzz thank you for playing, but no Here, from trade.gov, ie your govt, are the top ten countries (by volume) from which you import steel - as at sept 2017 Canada 16% Brazil 13% South Korea 10%...

    Advise on 2013 ST

    I also rode a variety of two wheels for decades. I have had an Rs, 13 st-l and now f3s. An additional piece of input is that I find the f3s the best (and no, I don't have my feet sticking out the front). It seems most like 2 wheels in the riding style to me, because centrifugal forces that...

    Doctors in Canada think they make too much and others make too little

    Huh? What are you saying Holly? That the Canadian doctors petition doesn't exist? Or what? FYI the info in my post did not come from any newspaper!

    Doctors in Canada think they make too much and others make too little

    The petition is about doctors in the public system - in public hospitals and the like. They are talking about the distribution of scarce resources, ie taxpayers dollars, within that system. They are seeing the nurses and other hospital professionals, with whom they have to interact, being poorly...

    Companies dumping the NRA

    Ew ew ew - wow - you've solved the problem. It is "one political party" that's to blame for all ills ... Easy! Get rid of that party, have a dictatorship (you can camouflage it as a democracy if you like), have your leader for life - oh he's already thought of this, label anybody who...

    Companies dumping the NRA

    I have no idea of the meanings of American definitions of progressives, conservatives, liberals etc. Best not give me any such label. Obviously hit a sore point - but could you please explain how and why "the group we fund sells baby parts" - sounds very third world to me. On second thoughts...

    Companies dumping the NRA

    Meantime, our news here in oz showed us a church in Pennsylvania full of apparently God-fearing "good" Christians with their fancy evil looking assault weapons, some "worshippers" with a garland of bullets on their heads, blessing their weapons. As long as attitudes stay that way, there are no...

    Companies dumping the NRA

    So much to say ... Please don't get bogged down in political party sledging - it is merely avoiding a reasoned debate - our country is not so sidetracked by political party allegiances - we certainly do not pre-register for one party or another, we vote how we feel at the time. I am not...

    Companies dumping the NRA

    I generally stay well clear of this topic, recognising that it is divisive and emotional, and not always rational - but as Australia has popped up a couple of times, I am chiming in... Yes we had a gun amnesty and buy back after an idiot went crazy in Tasmania - perhaps ironically at a tourist...

    Topcase issues

    There are two totally different models of top case for st/Rs--- The older style requires the 'sports rack' for the top case to clip on to (or backrest, but not both at once) The updated style has the prong (for want of better description) which goes through the tail piece. But I think for this...

    3/4 Lids I am torn...

    Best tip I was given was to try on a helmet in store, and leave it on - walk around for half an hour. Ignoring this has left me with many uncomfortable helmets on my shelf ... Following this has led to many "essential" purchases whilst walking around the store ...:shocked::sour::sour:

    Help ! F3 front shock info needed.

    Husband has my old ST Elka rear shock on his f3s - yes it fits. Re fronts, not certain as the st elka fronts are on the garage shelf. Re dealer who "couldn't say" why bottoming out at 160, change that to "wouldn't say" - the stock f3s shock is abysmal- even little old me bottomed out - Until...

    Rear shock

    I have the brp two up on my f3s, ride solo, happy. A question- doesn't the f3T have a pump up air thingo? How does this work with a different rear shock?

    I doubt if this will do any good

    My thanks to you too - we have had your app since RS days - it's great, giving owners reassurance as to what an issue may be, without getting the dealer run-around. It is a real pity that brp cannot see that your app actually makes spyder riders happier and more supportive of the brand - all...
