• 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.

    1330cc Elka Shocks Question....

    The one with the HYD has a remote knob for changing spring preload rather than getting in there with a spanner wrench to spin the adjuster.

    Will a Radio Model # 219400146 fit my ST?

    I'd search Ebay for someone selling parts from an ST Limited. If they're selling parts I'd assume they're selling a unit for parts and maybe you could get all the stuff used. I noticed this place http://www.recycledcyclesusa.com/ has some ST Limited stuff on Ebay.

    I think that part # is for the RT. I believe this is the ST kit. 219400521

    2015 ST SE5 FRT BUMPER HEGHT

    We tightened ours to the max and it still wasn't enough so I upgraded to Eibach springs.

    I'm thinking about new shocks

    Our factory shocks were the Fox shocks but the springs were way too weak. So with some help of the member spacetiger on here I was able to upgrade just the springs to Eibach springs with a higher spring rate. That made a world of difference for only about $100.

    2016 ST-S and Hot Feet

    We've had a 14 ST-L since 2015 and have had no problems with heat on the feet. I know there was a huge improvement on heat dissipation from 13-14 but your 16 should be the same as our 14.

    The Ole American Diner, Plainfield

    Who did I see at the Diner today? I saw two, a white and a black RT there when I drove by.

    WTF

    Sorry to hear that Phil, I hope you get it all figured out quickly. Not exactly the same but here in CT my dad bought a 7x16 enclosed trailer back in 2005 for storage. A friend hauled it home on a dealer plate and then he used it for storage for 10 years. In 2015 he no longer needed it so he...

    Brake Failure warning message

    They're the white floats that you can see right inside the reservoir when you take the caps off.

    $2,000 Rebate

    A couple weeks ago I got a flyer in the mail offering a $2000 rebate on a new Spyder. We've only bought one Spyder, a 2014 ST-L we bought as a leftover in 2015. I threw it in the trash because we're not looking to buy a newer one right now and it was nontransferable.

    Unstable ride feeling........

    So you trust the mechanic who overfilled your oil by a quart enough to tell by just riding your Spyder that it doesn't need an alignment? I don't get what your aversion is to just paying for the laser alignment. Makes me think no one there knows how to run the machine correctly. :bdh:

    brake issue

    The caps are the same, just make sure the vents are toward the rear. I recently bled the brakes on my 14 ST-L and had no problems getting a nice pedal feel just like new. What was your bleeding technique?

    Battery charging, Garmin 590.

    I don't know much about the 590 or the RT but our Zumo 660 puts a lightning bolt in the battery icon when it's charging. Does yours do that? Our 660 can be nearly dead from being off the mount but after a short ride it'll be fully charged. My Montana is the same on my Triumph.

    Strong gasoline smell after riding - is this common? Any fix?

    Sounds legit to me, do as they say and make sure you tell the dealer that you can really feel the heat. I have a 14 ST-L and still had the gas fume smell when parked in the garage. I had the EVAP canister replaced under warranty and when I got it home I made the vent line from the tank to the...

    Unstable ride feeling and 180 degree turn today

    I'm glad things are getting better. I was pretty confident in your other thread that the alignment was a major part of the issue. I'm sure if you spend the time on your method and procedure you'll get it real close to the laser alignment. Don't forget though, if you change the handlebar...
