• 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.

    More on Ethanol

    OK, so does this mean there is any hope that this will lead them to start taking that crap out of our gasoline? At least it's a start, right? http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/06/senate-votes-to-end-ethanol-subsidies/1

    Replacement Front Rims

    Can anyone recommend a set of reasonably priced replacement front rims for the Spyder? I want something the same size and bolt pattern, but where the spokes of the rim don't protrude past the tire like they do on most stock RS rims. Thanks.

    Wheel lift and Suspension

    I've lifted a wheel a couple of times during cornering, so I tried increasing the stiffness of the stock shocks (up to 5) and added the Evo-sway bar. It seems to me the Spyder is more likely to lift a wheel now. Admittdely, maybe I'm just cornering more aggressively... Anyone else ever get that...

    Numb fingers: Risers?

    I went for my first long distance ride today. I've been riding for over a year, but just around town and a few short jots onto the highway. I was on the highway for over an hour today and my fingers kept going numb (both hands - so not just a throttle-hand issue). I have an RS/GS, and I...

    Evaluations: Evoluzione Swaybar

    Sometimes when I try to accelerate while coming out of a corner the Spydie kind of sputters on me. From what I've read on here, that's probably the nanny, and a swaybar may help reduce that. So, I have a couple of questions about swaybars. First, do they really improve handling by a noticable...

    New ways to tax your driving/riding/ryding

    Our government is actually looking into the feasibility of tracking every vehicle on the road by GPS and charging you by the mile driven, and possibly by the roads taken and time of day you drive. http://money.cnn.com/2011/05/18/news/economy/gas_tax_drivers/index.htm?hpt=T2

    Why are there wires in the seat?

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a search and couldn't find it. I was looking around under my seat (2009 RS/GS) today looking for my rear brake wires and noticed that there are two different sets of wires going in/out of the seat. Why on earth are they there? It's not like the seat...

    Locating Brake Light Wires

    I'm installing a brake light modulator on my Spyder. I need to find the main wire shortly before it branches into two and goes to the two different brake lights. Any suggestions where to look, before I have to pull all the rear body panels off? :mad: BTW - If it matters, these are the...

    Brake light modulators

    Has anyone installed a brake light modulator on a Spyder? If so, what brand, did it work OK, or cause any computer problems? http://www.customdynamics.com/signal_dynamics_back_off_brake_light_modulator.htm Cheers.

    Looking for a hit-man

    In my neck of the woods (near Albany, NY) we had a good deal of rain 2 weeks ago that got rid of 99.9% of the snow, then a couple of days of sun and temps in the low 60s - during which, I got to ryde and felt alive again! But, right after that, freezing rain, salt everywhere, and consistently...

    Positioning Aftermarket Pipes

    I had an HMF pipe on my Spyder and just took it off to put on a Two Brothers pipe (just wanted something a little quiter). There's a groove along the chasis for the pipe to fit into (see pic below), but both the 2Bros and HMF don't fit into that groove very well because they seem to want to be...
