• 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.

    Electrical conundrum.

    :agree: I bet your 9-v battery test was done downstream of this board....thus bypassing this faulty component. As suggested, solder the wire back on, recheck the circuit and if OK...reinstall and go ride to celebrate your fix!

    Catalytic Converter Bypass

    Fair Price Let us be honest....according to Google an actual catalytic converter for most cars & trucks ranges from $100 - $250. Paying more then that for what is in essence a Y-pipe cat-bypass is hard to swallow especially in these tough economic times. Again, this is a cat-bypass designed...

    Catalytic Converter Bypass

    Maybe it takes into consideration the gas, food & lodging for a round trip to Greer, SC & the accompanying labor to have it "professionally installed"? :dontknow: But on the positive side - maybe the coffee & doughnuts are free while you wait! :roflblack: Sorry Schultzi but at $850 + tax &...

    Electrical conundrum.

    2 things come to mind: 1.) with an alternate power source, which bypasses the fuse completely, you have full illumination...so 2.) I would replace the fuse regardless of how it looks and check the system then. DONT FORGET TO REPAIR THE EXPOSED WIRES 1st! YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THE OTHER SIDE...

    Engine RPM Limiter

    Nope....but given I have not been to the factory school for the Spyder.....I played it smart by asking! ;) Given what I know about electronics in the aviation community, I did have an "belief" it was coded electronically. nojoke

    Engine RPM Limiter

    Bob, Are you sure about this? So there is no mechanical mechanism? If it is 100% code, then how does anyone know if it really works as "designed" without going into "Limp Mode" (I assume this code is what limits higher RPMs)?

    My tribute to the USAF crew that was lost in Operation El Dorado

    The only time they are assigned to a specific crew, or crew member, it is due to mission requirements as dictated in the op-spec (ie a special qualification that not every crew or member possesses). Those in the military serve at the luxury of those in charge and are an instrument of of our...

    RT Radiator Block off plate

    :agree: Basic thermodynamics 101.....hot air rises and cold air falls (due to density). Ever notice how hot your glove box gets? Negative pressure venting (more exit pressure versus incoming pressure). The problem, as I see it, is the restriction or limitation on the exit pathway of the...

    UPDATE - Custom Performance Anti-Sway Bar for the RT

    How to Identify New Sway-Bar Permanently What about marking it physically (stamped or engraved with model (RTS) and size (15mm))? This way there can NEVER be an issue with which sway-bar is the improved/modified one versus stock.

    Looks GREAT! Did it come pre-cut? It looks way too good and symmetrical to be hand done....but if you did....can you cut mine?! :bowdown: Love the "Preferred Parking" plate...got one myself! :thumbup:

    We at Travis got the 10s from March when they retired the C-141b. So I had a choice....go to either the C5 or KC10. That was a "No Brainer" decision!

    CLOSE CALL!!!

    I was out riding yesterday and was going thru a traffic light controlled intersection that just turned yellow. I was doing the posted speed limit which was 40mph. No problem right? WRONG! Some woman decided to pull into the intersection to turn left (in front of me), she stopped and THEN...

    Downshifting with SE5

    Manually 90% and Auto 10% (want to make sure it still does it automatically) 4k rpms keeps your charging system charging! Remember THIS bike loves to operate in the high RPM range! Take a look at how many revs your turning @60mph and at 80mph. That is the range the engineers "designed" it to...
