• 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.

    Chaning '11 RT Coolant.. quick question..

    I'm doing a drain and refill of the coolant in our '11 RT. I'm using standard 'green' 50/50 premix. I've got the bodywork off the right side and draining isn't an issue. I can get at the overflow bottle pressure cap but can't see the base of the bottle. I'm assuming I just use a long...

    Madstad footrests - heat issues?

    I put a set of Madstad footrests http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/sc.7/category.3580/.f on the wife's RT. Problem now is the right foot is getting blasted from the upper "vent" space. Is there a way of blocking off the heat without creating overheating issues with the engine?

    Gerbings / Powerlet Mount on RT??

    I put the standard Gerbings pigtail under the seat of Squirrel's RT. Not sure if I like this setup. Looks like it'd be easy to pinch or damage the harness. I'm thinking either the Powerlet or Panel-mount receptical would work.. mounted somewhere up where it's easily accessable...

    (another) ESI Givi Bag Lights Question...

    I'm finally getting around to putting the ESI LED kit onto the Givi's. My wife would like to have the ESI lights run as 'running' and 'brake' lights, but not have the 'signal' light feature. She wants to retain the stock Spyder signal lights on the stalks. Can I use the Tripple Play unit...

    Anti-lock brake sensor with Smuggler trunk?

    OK.. I've searched and read. Do I take the sensor out of the stock seat, and just plug it in then lay it under the smuggler trunk? Maybe a little Velcro to keep it from sliding around.

    2010 SM5 Oil Change

    Looks like I need to get some 5w-40 motorcycle specific oil (acceptable for wet clutches). Also would need the oil filter O-ring and 2 copper crush oil drain crush washers. How about the filter? Where's everyone getting them? Is there a good source for aftermarket or mail order OEM...

    I don't normally buy extended warranties but this rig has only been on the market 3 yrs and I'm wondering if some inherent bugs :ani29: will show up? Has anyone had it and actually used it?

    Windshield measurement?

    Not new to adding / changing out motorcycle windscreens but the Spyder's a bit different, with it's swept back design. Squirrel's RS has that tiny, OEM bug deflector... (deflects 'em right into her face!).. so that has to go. I see quite a few brands / heights of OEM and aftermarket...

    Covers?

    My wife just got a 2010 RS. We want to get a half cover for when it's parked at work. Problem is.. we need to get a taller windshield and I'm thinking the Nelson Riggs 1/2 cover won't work with that. Are there any other options for 1/2 covers with taller-than-stock windshields?
