• 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.

    Aftermarket Cooling fan options

    I put 2000 miles on the Spyder last week at SITS and had some observations about engine temp. I rode home on Sunday in the rain and was at 2-3 bars all day and the Spyder ran the best it ever did. At 4 bars it starts to miss and stutter at very low RPM and like leaving a stop light. At 5-6 bars...

    Ok so now that I have the O2 mod I feel that I may be running a bit rich. I think I could "turn down" the Juice box quite a bit from what I had been running before the O2 mod. For those that have Juice Box, O2 Mod, and some kind of Airbox eliminator (not just a green filter or K+N) What are...

    Exhaust wrap installed .... Observations

    I wrapped my exhaust and am very happy with the results! A few observations: I used 1/8 inch by 2 inch. You need a 50 foot roll to do the whole system. The Stainless Zip ties suck. Just use hose clamps. Replace the donut gaskets while you have the system off the bike. My right side was bad at...

    I have been having problems with a flat spot around 4000 RPM at normal (closed loop) operation. When the bike is cold it runs great and at full throttle it runs great but during normal cruise it is terrible. I just added an EVO O2 eliminator and it has solved the issue! Observations: The...
