• 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.

    FYI: CA Motorcycle Law & Insurance Requirements

    Not required in valley. I have Nationwide. Sounds like an insurance agency issue. Not to take anything away from a MSC or M1, but some of these crazy insurance companies like to make you jump through hoops to minimize presumed risk.

    Who told me not to lug it? Who told me not to maintain 8000 rpms for 20min down the highway? Same mechanic that physically put mine together five years ago in the bay area. He takes calls when hes not buried under a skidoo, spyder, or can am quad. He took 30min at the end of his day to...

    My Spyder has me feeling less than warm and fuzzy

    I may be off my rocker... But try this. Take some bubble wrap or something and put a thin layer on top of your fuses by the Frunk, and put the cap back on. Might be snug but it should click secure. That will keep those pesky relays where the belong. ;) As far as your gas issue, I have...

    Hi Boots! The 990 Rotax is a high revving engine. Many will debate the ideal sweet spot, but we generally agree on two primary points. Lugging, or low rpm riding is not encouraged (under 3500 rpms). Excessively high rpm riding (maintaining 8000 rpm and above) is also discouraged. Maintaining...

    Oil use? should we run 20-50 in summer????

    Hmmm. Thanks. Perhaps the design isnt as tight due to the High Revs the 990 is designed for. Perhaps that is why our valve clearances are always within tolerance well after the recommended inspection date. Interesting.

    Oil use? should we run 20-50 in summer????

    I'm sorry, I understood the term. Please explain how a Rotax 990 engine is "loose". I've never heard of our engine described this way. As it relates to the valves, are these loose compared to other high revving VTwins?

    Loose? Please explain.

    Oil use? should we run 20-50 in summer????

    Agree with Ron concerning oil. Not to start a war over warm ups... But 30-60 sec is all thats required. Keep 5k and under during warm up riding beneficial. Most start bike, throw on jacket, helmet, and gloves, and ride.

    First time to get Limp Mode.....later same day got DPS message WTH?

    I don't know what year spyder you have but there was a recall on DPS sensors. Dealer might have to replace, update BUDs and realign steering, yaw sensors, etc. Im guessing though.. What codes were displayed? Another possibility is after the hard braking, the floaters in the rear brake...

    2013 RT Sway Bars....

    Rider buddy of mine installed it on his RS, and mine is OE. I rode his and admit its stiffer in corners and feels "heavier" when steering... Not in a negative way. It sorta reminded me of when I had dual steering stabilizers on my jeep. Took some of the Wiley Coyote out of it. I am...
