• 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.

    windshield

    just my 2 cents on the madstad windshield system. i had a victory cross country and tried different windshields on it including the "flip" windshield. none fixed buffeting at speed. i also didnt like the "flip" at the top. i did not like the distortion it created as far as the wavy line across...

    998 can am rt road trips

    hi everyone, being on this forum for awhile,one cant help but get the notion that the rt with the 1330 upgrade is the only way to go anymore. when i picked up my rt recently, not knowing this situation, i purchased mine mainly because it has only 7000 miles on it and well taken care of. my wife...

    why i purchased my spyder

    to the spyder community. i guess i just had it with the motorcycle publications and general motorcycle 2 wheel community and their rants about profiling spyder buyers as people who cant ride a 2 wheel motorcyce, or dont have good balance on two wheels or are just intimidated just thinking about...

    2010 RT SE5 runs rough and then engine stalls when hot

    ron jons spark plug wires and plug kit. 3mm silicone vacuum hose to replace two vacuum hoses, canisterectomy, and and it wouldnt hurt to take the crankcase vent tube out of the air cleaner. all of this can be done while you have the panels off. these items fixed all of the problems on my 10 rt.

    Totally confused

    i am with chupaca on this one. starter or main ground. if you want to see if it is the ground, take a multimeter and place the positive lead on the motor, and the negative lead of the meter on the negative terminal of the battery, put the meter on dc volts. try to crank , you should not see any...
