• 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.

    Open Topcase warning?

    Removing or adjusting the switch is not the best option. Lengthening the post that is on the lid is the best option I have found. the best way It does not need much. a couple of wraps of electrical tape will work but not last. I had a thread on this a while back and someone suggested using some...

    This Drone Rocks!

    Actually this drone can do all the obstical avoidance all by itself. just send it threw the trees and it will do the rest. I have seen many videos where the drone autonomously follows a bike rider threw thick forest and many obsticals. The DJI Mavic 2 pro gets stuck at the beginning. the Skydio...

    Some highlights from this weekends two 20 minute flights with the Skydio 2 + Controller. No color-correction, stabilization, speed ramping, or reversing of any kind on the clips in this video.

    Akrapovic carbon fiber

    I have a RLS Exaust. Ricky sprays a coating that drops the temp by 400 degrees. He can even spray the Cat delete. Not as pricy as a akrapovic either. Also the best sounding Exaust out there IMHO.

    F3 limited

    Your Spyder needs to be around 4 inches off the ground. Tightening the springs will raise it up. If you are heavey like I am you need heavier springs. Elka sent me heavier springs and I installed them myself. once I got them on I tightened them up by feel, turning the nut that tightens up the...

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    12,000 miles?!! That is only half of what Doc said the warranty was. Glad you caught it. If anyone continues to use their RR tentioner the roller needs to be replaced with every oil change IMHO. Thats probably true with any brand.

    Have you had an ECU Flash? How long did it take? Any good?

    Your Spyder Garage shows that you have a RSS. Let us know how the Stage 2 works out in the V twin. I do know the air filter is a bear to get to on the STL which I used to have.

    replace drive belt or not??

    Im glad I changed mine when I did. after further inspection with it off I found a tear going threw about 1/4 of the way threw the belt. It was not visible till I took it off. It did its job though and got me home from Spyders in the Hills pulling my 622 trailer. Not that hard to remove and put...

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    You need to replace it ASAP! Mine looked the same and on closer inspection It had a tear that was hard to see unless you flex it. I was thinking of keep ryding on it. This weekend I am going on a 2 day ryde to the Talimena trail. That would be bad if it broke while out on that trip. Im fortunate...

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    I got my new tentioner today and while installing it I looked down and noticed I had the belt turned the wrong direction. After a few choice words I proceeded to remove the belt again and turn it around. I took a lot less time the second time around. I found that I did not need to remove the...

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    It looks like I replaced my belt just in time. After further inspection, beside the deep groves on the top of the belt all the way around I found a tear that had gone threw maybe a quarter of the way threw the belt.

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    No, He was just going to send me a new roller, but after inspection, the hole that the bolt goes threw is wallowed out. He would need to replace the whole thing. I am just going with a Spiders Extras damper this time. Much better quality and lifetime warranty. Honestly I did not expect him to...

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    The shock bolt needs to be aligned using the jack. Just play with the jack up and down to take the weight off the bolt or align it. Not hard. Once it’s out just jack it up a little more till your belt loosens up enough to slide it off. Same procedure as when you remove the wheel. You just don’t...
