• 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.

    On the 2023 & 2024 models there are upper and lower air deflectors, for a price, of course. I know I have something similar on my 2015 Spyder that came with the model I got.

    Update on my RIKEN rear tire!

    Upon recommendation of BlueKinight911, I mounted a RIKEN rear tire. Have a little more than 1500 miles. Been thru torrential rains.

    Will the 1330 engine adjust based on gas octane changes?

    Wondering if the 1330 engine adjusts based on the octane you use like cars do. Think car engines will retard or advance based on the Octane it senses. Something like that. I am not an expert on this, just what I have heard. I don't think motorcycles do in general. Could be wrong on this as well...
