• 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.

    2008/2013 990/998 V Twin Owners - XPS M Rated Oil versus OTHER Oils Rated API 'M'

    NAOT! (Not Another Oil Thread) Oh man. Can of worms here. I have been using AMSOIL since 2000 in literally everything I own that needs oil. Cars, trucks, lawnmowers, tractors, weed eaters, chainsaws, pressure washers, generators, gas and electric motors, firearms and general lubrication...

    Flags

    You will not be able to put a rain cover on it with those, and, they are pricey. I have an OEM luggage rack rack with a folding flag mount on my RTL and my travel rain cover fits snug, but, works fine. Here is where I plan to get another folding flag mount ...

    Helmet Housekeeping

    I've actually removed the liners from our Scorpion EXO 900 helmets and simply tossed them in the washer and set it on "delicate". We even put those scent beads in the wash to make them smell purtty. And even though these liners have the air pumps in them, it did not affect them in any way...

    Recommendations of Speakers for 2016 RT Limited

    :yikes: If you drive a set of 2 ohm speakers with an amplifier rated for 4 ohm speakers, you are requiring the amplifier to double the power output in order to drive the speakers. ... But at high volume, the amplifier can overheat and burn out the output amplifier transistor section of the...

    For Blueknight911 - Vredestein for rear tire 2016 RTL

    Has anyone tried the Federal Formoza FD2 Performance Radial Tire - 205/60R15 91V? It has a UTQG 420 Temperature A and Traction A rating. I have not ... yet. But this tire interests me because it is symmetrical and is a directional tire. I still have the original Kenda tire on the rear and...

    Folding Flag Mounts for Luggage Rack

    Looking for recommendations for a folding flag mount to fit the standard Can-Am RTL luggage rack. I believe it's a 1/2-inch tube. I had this type of flag mount on my Voyager and it worked well whenever I needed to put the rain cover on the bike. Just fold it over. I've seen them on Amazon...

    Oil over filled a bit ... I think

    I've been checking my oil after a ride and within the specified 2-minutes after engine shut down. It's hard to tell (for me), but I think it is slightly over the full mark. I know, I know ... should never over fill it, but that's the way I got it and I've put under 1k on it since I picked it...

    Tinkering with my belt

    WOW! Well ... that works for me then. Actually, it's within 0.98571428 % of the Krikit gauge. Close enough for me. I'll put the extra $288 + towards other farkles. Thanks for the video and other help you fine folks have helped me with. :2thumbs::yes::2thumbs::yes::2thumbs::yes::2thumbs:

    Tinkering with my belt

    Yeah, I would like to see that comparison too! :agree: Well ... Not sure which meter correlates to the BELT TENSION METER (P/N 529 036 115) but, Amazon shows one costing $688 and another costing $785. Somehow plucking a guitar string, or belt, to measure tension just doesn't seem ... right...

    Front Chrome Wear Bar

    I just installed the Lamonster Garage Bump Skid. It is not difficult to install and takes less than an hour and at least one adult beverage. It's made from 3/8” black HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). It basically goes from wheel-to-wheel and projects just in front of the nose of the Spyder...

    Electrical problem

    I removed the stock horn and installed a Stebel air horn (139 db) in its place. I had to make a steel bracket about 6 or 8 inches long, used the original mounting bolt and positioned the horn in the left hand middle body grill so its output is straight out. It is LOUD! I did not use a relay...

    Tinkering with my belt

    You are correct sir. :agree: NOWHERE does it say 1 credit card ... However, having measured my credit cards which ranged from 0.75 to 0.85 mm thick (the thicker one has a higher interest rate), I stand corrected. It should be 2 - 3 credit cards from the flange to put it within spec with the 3...

    stubby antenna removal 2014 RT LTD

    When it comes to antennas, size is king. Optimum 1/4 wave for FM is 31-inches and you will be hard pressed to find one that long to fit your Spyder. You can forget about this as for a 1/4 wave AM antenna at 1000kHz would be 234-feet long! :yikes: As far as CB radio is concerned, you will have...
