• 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.

    M2 or Elka- Worth the Money?

    Very interesting! I don’t see any Elka shocks on the fastest pro street or real street drag bikes? Only M2s and Penske! Am I missing something or do dirt bikes have something relevant to street and asphalt?

    Yes yes and yes! Another thing most overlook including myself! Many many years ago, I built a very nice small block Chevrolet for my street race car. Brand new, it wouldn't start just spit back every now and then. I had never had an engine not start right up before. I did the process of...

    Can am spyder exhaust internal view from RLS EXHAUST

    Quite an amazing piece of engineering! Interesting how the cooling of gasses make those even work, but they do.

    Too many things that will cause it spit back through intake? As mentioned previously fresh fuel is priority! Then start with easier things first, ignition timing, inspect wires, plugs connections etc. Intake seals and vacuum lines as previously suggested. Leak down test. Cam timing.

    Car Tires on your Spyder and your insurance.

    If an insurer can get out of paying a claim they WILL!! I have taken a insurance company to court before no attorney and won, not what I wanted but I won. Their attorney came and talked to me for 45 minutes after court and congratulated me. You have to ask yourself is it worth the time and cost...

    Mine runs 1/2 but not necessarily a comparable since actual temperature may be different. Maybe borrow or if you have a temperature gun to check return hose? If the temperature stays at that point and doesn’t fluctuate is likely ok?

    Do I need to take this puppy up to 80/90 mph occasionally?

    If the dealer is being honest? As mentioned before fuel is metered and kept at or near optimum efficiency, just stay away from ethanol fuel and enjoy.

    Sounds about right. It has been many years since I worked with the different alloys and penetrants. I have 95% of my engine machine work done by people that are professionals and I double check everything before assembly. I used to have access to quite a bit, but long ago. For our applications...

    Actually you can do aluminum, just a slightly different process with dye and a powder material. Yes, I believe a diamond hone is all that can be used, and it is very thin and could require a trip to Millenium. I think the main problem is not knowing the extent of damage and putting a lot of...

    Sorry to say but! That engine should have been disassembled, rods, crank, pistons, pins and bearings inspected and or replaced as necessary. Cylinders deglazed at minimum, new rings and clean and magnaflux heads and lap valves minimum. Tagging a valve like that can bend rods, crush bearings...

I have a 2014 Harley Fatboy that has 42 total miles on it, 59 FLH has 150 miles since restoration over 15 years ago. my 2013 Harley Road...

    What experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    I bought into the Lithium ION Kool Aid when I had left my Ducati for about a year no charging, and it started right up. The Shorai battery is OE in my Ducati. I have since put a 6 volt in my 1981 Honda C70 with electric start no problems. I have one waiting to go in my 1959 Harley FLH which has...
