• 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.

    No Headlights, but no blown fuses! What am I missing?

    Just a quick note of thanks to all who helped. What should have take 4 hours took 4 days. As usual, I was over thinking the problem. As it turns out the cable goes over everything and thru a hole in the plastic guard, then straight down to its mounting hole. Again thanks.

    stripped oil plug

    My 2 cents. I have a '15 RTS, the MP01 listed for the transmission does NOT fit my transmission. (I'll stop there).

    Garmin 595 no phone sound

    Had a similar problem with my 590 and Sena 20s. Then one day after a Garmin update, all was right with the world. Seems Garmin has a issue or two.

    IS THERE SUCH A THING

    For the past 5 years I have used Russell Day Long (don't believe I've ever heard a complaint about them). Only issue is, they're in California, and you're not. But, winter is coming with a reduced riding season up your way.

    Anyone purchased a bike remotely from iMotorsports?

    If you have the dealer finance it and later pay off that loan, aren't you paying 2 loan origination fees? Usually 500 to 1000 non-negotiable.

    Michelin install

    Oh I can get to the nut, just not turn it with a wrench. Need the leverage of a long torque wrench. And the belt shouldn't have needed adjusting, but it did. Maybe reversing the axle bolt caused a other worldly change in the clamping direction and the people of nah nah land caused - - - oh well.

    Michelin install

    Just got new Michelin rear installed. No real problems other the 70 year old hands. Couldn't get lower bolt out of swing arm position sensor so took top one. And had to loosen right side belt position screw 3/4 turn to get belt back into position. Thanks to Finless Bob for excellent video...

    1330 cllutch lockup rpm

    In my case, the 1330 clutch isn't fully engaged until about 2000 RPM. Only reason I say this is, I've got a really steep driveway, and when accelerating up the lane, I can feel slippage till about 2K. Your mileage my vary.

    Smooth spyder tensioner and belt question.

    After I installed the 'smooth spyder', I took my kricket and loosened up the belt to just above minimum. No vibration and less wear on bearings.
