• 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.

    New Tires to Mount - Is Walmart Automotive qualified - anyone use them?

    FYI, finding someone to balance the rear wheel is a real challenge in most areas, the fronts - almost anyone can balance. They run smooth after Wallyworld balanced them.

    2012 RT SE5 Parking Brake

    Actuate the brake on and off and watch the pulley on rear wheel (muffler side) See if it is rotating while the actuation of brake happens. Had my cable go bad and in that case I had to "help" the release by assisting the clockwise rotation of the pulley by hand to release. The cable may have...

    2016 Spyder Line up announcement at sturgis?

    2016 Disappointed with what the unveiling detailed, it was not my cup of tea. Perhaps it will boost BRP's spyder line with the two wheel crowd, time will tell. What would really boost the spyder is more dealers who actively try to sell the line. Stopped in at one dealer today and spent nearly...

    BajaRon Sway Bar needed on 2014?

    We have the BajaRon anti-sway bar on both the 2010 RT and the 2013 ST and it made a very noticeable improvement in both. Its not a matter of being able to negotiate a turn or keep up, but the comfort factor and secure feeling when doing so. All in all it is the best value for the dollar of any...

    Life expectancy of stock shocks

    On our 2010 RT, I would agree with your mechanics opinion, original and replacement stock rear done in first 25K the Elka rear replacement still running at 52K+. Have no experience with the 2014 shocks.

    Failing rear shock or too many doughnuts?

    Wore out the original and one replacement rear stock shock on our 2010 RT before we put an Elka on it. Big ride difference with the Elka, it was worth the extra $ to us.

    balance beads

    Have 3 1/8 oz. That's what the bike shop said the wheel needed. I'm no expert on them. I'd recommend seeking out a shop who has experience with them.

    We Had Some Visitors Stop By today.

    It was good to finally meet you folks today. You have some fantastic roads in your neck of the woods for spyder riding. I would have a hard time staying in the office :-) We did make it to the hotel tonight and only encountered some sprinkles. A sample shot of the scenery just down Hwy 52...
