• 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.

    Rotax 998 Reliability Phosphor Bronze in Oil

    Of course there is always a risk you must consider when finding metal shavings in your oil, but given the circumstances you described, I think your plan above is reasonable for now, as long as you keep a close watch on it. I should add the disclaimer that I am not an engine mechanic, but I do...

    How many Spyders have you owned.....

    Dang! :sour: I was so hoping that you had access to a time machine and had brought a Spyder back from the year 2026. I wanted to see a picture of it.

    RT-L plus rider backrest

    The Utopia Backrest is one of the best looking and most comfortable backrests out there. But it's also one of the largest. I have it on my 2013 RT with a BRP Comfort Seat. I have ridden some small passengers back there, but not my wife - she'd never fit. :shocked: ...which is OK, because...

    "Mile" stone

    Wow! You've only had that bike 4 or 5 months, haven't you? You've been doing some riding!!:thumbup:

    So, I took one for a test ride

    Good suggestions. Also, there is a Comfort Seat you can get for it that will put your butt 2" further back, which will give you both more leg room and more arm room. I'm 6'2", and the Comfort Seat resolved both problems for me without going to the Tri-Axis adjustable handlebar. :thumbup:

    Thank you to Netzley Tire!!

    Well, as you know... "What happens in Kerhonkson, STAYS in Kerhonkson." :thumbup: (Including what happened at the Gander Inn Restaurant and Tavern.)

    Nice review....

    A Wish for Chupaca While we are talking about wishes for the future, here's one for Chupaca (and several others)... An RS/ST replacement, with a new, more efficient engine, that has the same fun riding characteristics and nimble feeling. Without a crystal ball of my own, I can't call that a...

    Thank you to Netzley Tire!!

    Yep Netzley Tire is a great place for your Spyder. I, too, see more than one trip to Accord NY in my future. :thumbup: About 3.5 hours for me non-stop, but I like to make that trip an overnighter. I already have a favorite motel in the quiet little village of Kerhonkson, NY

    Nice review....

    :agree::agree: Let's hope your suggestions make their way into AKSpyderman's crystal ball. And while BRP is at it, they should include built-in Bluetooth 4.x (with both receiving and transmitting capability), covered duel USB charging and data terminals up on the glare shield, and keyless...

    Nice review....

    I like the looks of it too. But I sincerely hope you are WRONG with that prediction. :shocked: While the F3 has it's niche, it sure ain't never going to be "mine". ;)

    Nice review....

    Obviously, it wasn't for Pierre. ;) He just wanted to get his knees in the breeze.

    Yet another for you Bob...

    I dunno about Bob, but it's making MY mouth water. :thumbup: Have to wait a few months, though. It's not cold enough yet in PA for hot chocolate.

    Help with tire pressure

    Thanks, Mike. Makes sense to me. :thumbup: As I said in an earlier post above, Derrick Netzley recommended 20 psi for my rear tire when he installed the Yoko s-Drive. I'll probably take it from 24 down to 22 for a while and see what that feels like and how it wears. I run my original...

    Which Snyder to buy?

    Your original post sounds like you are a candidate for either an RT or an F3T (The "T" stand for "touring".) Suggest you test ride BOTH, with your wife, at the nearest Spyder dealer. (It may be hard to find a used F3T, though, as they are fairly new.)

    Am I farkled out??

    What you have to do is rotate the pictures in a picture editor app like MS Paint, Office Picture Manager, Photoshop, or the free IrfanView, etc. Then save them back to your computer, and then upload them. Your new trunk rack looks nice, and even when you have it loaded up you can still see...

    sometimes

    :roflblack: When my wife and I worked in the same office years ago, folks there gave us the nickname, "The Bikersons". (You have to be really old to remember who John & Blanche Bickerson were. ;) )

    preparing a spyder for winter

    If you plan to ride it a few times during the winter, I think your plan sounds OK. That's what I do, plus I keep it on a Battery Tender over the winter months. Just one word of caution... Don't start the engine unless you do plan to ride it about 5 miles or so. The reason... water is a...

    Put my Spyder into Hibernation - Oct 2016

    I think that makes sense, Mike, and I'm only a couple of years older than you at 71. My dilemma is... "How do I get my wife, my motorhome, AND my Spyder to the Valcourt homecoming, and still have a car there for my wife who doesn't ride. We like traveling in the RV, but this time, I think...

    Help with tire pressure

    You should be ashamed of yourself. :yikes: :roflblack::roflblack: And as for Mike, HE is not to blame. I think his "evil twin" got on his computer again. ;)
