• 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.

    Throwing codes and all warning lights

    Check DPS Alerts I had that same problem on my 2012 RT with 32,000 miles on the clock. When my Alert came on, I couldn't accelerate over 55 MPH, but it didn't stall out completely. I drove it to my Dealer who did a quick adjustment on front end Toe Out, as my front tire was worn on the inside...

    alignment specifications

    Toe in by eye? If the Spyder handles well, and tracks straight, yet one tire only, wears on the inside, then that appears to be Toe Out on that one wheel. Question: Any one ever try loosening the 2 nuts on the adjusting rod, and just guessing with a few turns of the rod, retightening, and...

    can money make you happy

    Galax Sam, you live in a famous part of Virginia, i.e. Wayne Henderson Country. He builds some great guitars, and sells then for as much as my Spyder would bring on eBay! I've heard him play in person several times, and he sure can make his guitars sing.

    Old guy with weak hands

    Weak Clutch lever hand The main reason I went from my Kawi Vulcan 1500 Classic to my Spyder RT Limited SE5 was because I could no longer squeeze the clutch handle. ( I was 70 when I switched. ) I will be 74 soon, and I still lust for another Vulcan, as I had a 1988 and bought a new 2002 and...
