• 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.

    Can dystopian world views be useful to society?

    Recently there was an interesting Off Topic thread having to do with an animation expressing a dystopian world view. I thought that, much like '1984' and 'Animal Farm' before it (among many other acclaimed works of fiction), it foretold of a world devoid of personal choice, controlled by a...

    Do I really need a GPS?

    If you travel where you have good cell service all the time, then you don't need a dedicated GPS. However, down here in the Southeast, there are some dead cell spots. Had to make a few U-turns because of that. Also, from experience, GPS's do a better job with rural addresses.

    What is the Learning curve on BUDS like?

    Load it on your computer, hook it up, and turn it on. Not much of a learning curve. The software is very well defined and self explanatory. It allows you to take readings, perform a few setups, and actuate components for trouble shooting. Don't forget to read the instructions for a few details.

    Ruined a scammer's day.

    Ruined a scammer's day. I work very closely with Veterans in need. Today I got a frantic call from a guy claiming to be a Veteran who was down on his luck and needed $450, otherwise he was getting kicked out of his motel. There's some more details, but we don't have time for BS. Anyhow, he...

    Hi Ladies! Hot weather riding pants recommendations?

    I have nothing to contribute about what pants to wear. As you are a Blue Star Mom, I hope your child or children are safe.

    Dealer claimed they couldn't release my Spyder if it failed the sprocket wear test!

    My favorite line from Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".

    Brake Failure and again again!

    This works on a 2011RTS. Not sure about a 2012. Brake Warning Reset Procedure If you do not have any codes, but still have a brake warning, it is possible the low pressure switch has been activated. There are three switches in the brake circuit. 1. Brake light switch, 2. Hydraulic pressure...

    My new baby - which gas? 87, E10, or is 91 octane better?

    The owners manual has the correct information. More or bigger isn't always better.

    Anyone Removed the Left Hand Multifunction Switch? Help?!?

    I've done it on a 2012 RTS. It's a big job, but not too difficult. The upper console needs to be tilted forward, but does not have to be removed. Get the manual. It has excellent step by step instructions.

    Don't Look Up!

    Don't Look Up was good. It showed how this tech generation has lost its grounding. Unfortunately, I doubt if anyone in that group got the point.

    High beam Wire Location

    It's been several years since I did it and I have sold the unit, so here's an idea. If you remove the Tupperware that gives you access to change the headlight bulbs, you will see the shutter. Just tap a wire right at the shutter. If recall correctly, it is on the right side.

    High beam Wire Location

    Find the wire that energizes the high beam shutter and tap into that. I did that on my 2011 RTS, worked fine.

    Blinded by the late day sun

    This is a similar idea as the duct tape. Apply a strip of dark window tint. I've done this for years. I looks good and you can see through it a little.
