• 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.

    Is airbag needed with aftermarket shock? How to fill airbag and leave set?

    I think the manufacturers have already answered this question. You will be hard pressed to find a bike that does not have adjustable pre-load on the rear, whether it's a collar with spanner wrench or some remote set-up. The difference of adding 100-200 lbs right above the shock is too great...

    It's called a 'Motorcycle Exhaust Spring Hook'!

    Cool idea!

    Hopefully a new ACS question - can the ACS be set to a higher ride height?

    I did have the ACS calibrated when the problem first started. It holds air fine. I disconnect the purge valve and can put whatever amount of air and it holds for weeks if not longer. That's my dilemma, it works fine except it runs about 10-15lbs less than what the bike needs and what should...

    Hopefully a new ACS question - can the ACS be set to a higher ride height?

    Wow, I'm impressed Snowbelt. You must have the best memory around here. Yes, this did start after a tire change but I haven't been able to draw a connection. The system works has intended as far as adding and releasing air. I'm 200lbs + gear and the ACS will maintain about 35 to 40lbs. I've...

    Hopefully a new ACS question - can the ACS be set to a higher ride height?

    I have a problem with the rear bottoming out riding 1 up or 2 up. I disconnected the purge valve and manually fill the bag to 50lbs for 1 up and 75 for 2 up and the bottoming out stops. After riding for a hour I get a suspension fault that clears when the bike shuts off. My question: can the...

    What's the best music app to use in phone and listen to in a Sena?

    Spotify, and if no cell I have some music already downloaded on Spotify. Most apps work well at this point in time.

    Android Auto/Apple Carplay standalone mountable display, pretty slick

    Certainly looks interesting. My concern is when on a long trip I would need to charge the phone anyway. Does the touchscreen work well with touchscreen gloves?

    What's causing this Wobble while braking?

    The spyder is a unique veichle. As I read through this thread I was thinking to myself: get your hands off the bars. I thought I had a problem because the bike seemed to pull mainly to the left under hard braking. I was about to tear into things and thought of taking my hands completely off...

    Anyone built an RT622 Trailer Kick stand?

    A bicycle kickstand may do the trick

    First Service Done & it feels smoother! What did they do?

    If the smoothness is the transmission shifting smoother then I would agree it 's the fresh oil. Recently did the second oil change on my RT and used Mobil 1 4T 10W40. The transmission certainly seems to shift smoother. Less then 1000mi so far, so we shall see. Always a fan of Mobil 1. Doing...

    PHONE volume LOUD, but not GPS or HEADSET - am I missing something?

    Also be aware that you may be only able to adjust phone volume while the phone call is active. The same for gps and music. The gps has to be speaking directions in order to adjust the gps volume. Same with music.

    They would also mount the tires

    Will upgraded shocks help out with toe in due to a heavy load?

    Ron, when you set up shocks what do you use as standard ride height w/o rider or luggage? How much sag do you like to see with rider? Thanks

    Anyone else experiencing Braking instability? What possible causes?

    Thanks, I do have Brembo brakes so I'll take a look.

    Anyone else experiencing Braking instability? What possible causes?

    Mine pulls hard to the left every time under harder braking. I need to check/lube the left front caliber slides. Hopefully that's it.

    Traction Control System - How DOES It Function?

    I have done the same or similar on a 2018 RTL. Some dirt on road at intersection. Jumped on it and spun rear wheel all the way across intersection. Went back to see a faint black stripe. Another time jumped on it coming out of a switch back and rear stepped out a couple of inches or so.

    Tire Wear - how much more mileage can I expect?

    I think what 2dogs is saying is if you get 5000mi out of the first 75% of tread you will only get 1000-1500 out of the last 25%. This is especially true if you ride hard during this time.
