• 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.

    Invisible?

    The other day I was riding on a brand new street in town that had "hard wired", Your Speed is -- mph. sign. There wasn't any other traffic on the street, other than myself on my RTS. The radar in the sign failed to register a speed for me and my bike. Has anyone else experienced this?

    MPG

    I wondered if anyone has seen any figures on MPG for the F3. I would think that there would be a difference in MPG between the RTS and the F3, due to the difference in weight and gearing.:dontknow:

    FYI

    The track where the drags take place has a couple of different high octane rated fuels. Last year, CASH was the only way to pay for it. I just didn't want anyone to be unprepared.

    Oil smell

    I have a '14 RTS with 200 miles on it. I was able to take it for a short ride yesterday. A couple of times I detected a crankcase "blow by" oil smell, in addition to a few oil spots on the trunk lid. I w as wondering if the 1330 still had a PCV valve and the hose may have come off...

    Len's 2012 performance Spyders

    Inquiring mind wants to know! Will any owners that did Len's performance package, be at the drags this year? I'm thinking about trading up and considering this mod as an option. I wanted to find out if there was a significant difference in performance over a stock Spyder, and if it made a...

    Information only

    I just read in the paper this morning that the federal appeals court has given the State of Illinois 180 days to come up with a "concealed carry" law. They determined that the state position was unconstitutional.

    New law

    In Illinois it is illegal to have anything sticking out more than 4" past the bumper. I believe that this is primarily aimed at people who leave the inert in their Reese style hitch. I imagine some of our lawmakers have rapped their shins on some of the hitches and decided that this law was the...

    Warranty?

    On my 2010 RTS, I noticed a rhythmic "thumping" sound (similar to a tire with ply separation) coming from the rear of the bike. Dropped it at my dealer. I talked to my mechanic this morning, who had taken thr rear wheel and components apart. The only thing he could find wrong, was the pressed...

    Another Phantom female!

    When I went into my dealers waiting room today yo get some coffee, there sat a woman,a helmet and an armored mesh jacket.

    Lost cover

    :helpsmilie:Has anyone lost their cover for the trailer hookup. Evidently it came off sometime between unhooking after the Cuba trip and hooking up for the Chicago trip.

    Recall?

    As Spyder lovers, we are aware of some shortcomings of some of our machines. In some cases, owners are very PO'd, with good reason. However, these machines have only been on the market three years. The reason I mention this, is because of a news report of a problem with the front brake on BMW...
