• 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.

    How much oil do you use?

    That's good info to know. I have never had any of my bikes in the past use a drop of oil between changes and I found it a bit disconcerting. I ended up having to put a half quart in to bring it back to the full mark. So that's a half quart that was used in about 1700 miles.

    How much oil do you use?

    It just seems crazy to me that in this day an age with the technology we have, that they are still turning out brand new engines that burn oil. If this were 40 or 50 years ago, then ok..but it's not very confidence inspiring at this point in time...

    How much oil do you use?

    I do check directly after riding within a few minutes so that the engine is up to temp. Like i said, I am not using full synthetic since it has only had its break in service and the dealer put in the BRP blend oil. I guess I will pick up a quart or two today on the way home and add a small...

    How much oil do you use?

    Sorry to revive a bit of an old thread, but I am noticing that my 2014 STS is using oil. I checked it a couple weeks ago after some riding and it was halfway between add and full. I rode some this last weekend and checked again and it's now on the add line. I am using the BRP blended oil that...

    Shifting into Neutral

    I figured out that when stopped in 1st gear, I have to double tab the downshift in order to go to neutral. When I first got the spyder, I was only tapping once and it wouldn't ever down shift. I thought something was wrong until I finally figured it out. :)

    WIN a Spyder for $10 - SRA Spyder Raffle

    I bought mine! :) It would go far to trading in towards a new Kawasaki Concours 14 for me. My wife already claims the spyder is her's anyway... ha ha

    Long hair finds new home

    My wife and I would love to live in or around the Tampa or Orlando area. I love the beach and she is a huge beach and disney park fan. I just have to wait for a spot to open up with my company and I can try to transfer. :D There won't be any difference in weather since we already live in the...

    This thing's going to be the size of a pea soon.

    I guess I am just cheap...I can't see paying 400$ for that thing. If it were 150$, then I would be interested...but 400$? Nope...

    Spyder St 12v plug questions

    Ok, I've done a bunch of searching and so far come up dry on installing the 12v plug in the frunk of an ST. I have a couple of the plugs with a small wire harness and I see some little rubber popouts that look like they would fit. I am just not sure where exactly the existing wire harness or...

    Temporary paint/coating.

    It's as you said, basically the same as plasti-dip. I love plasti-dip! I have used it on everything from the bumper of my wife's minivan that faded from the sun, to a motorcycle helmet that I wanted to change to bright yellow. Just make sure you use 4-5 coats or else when you peel it off, it...

    Replacing radio speakers

    Yep, I agree. I read through the entire thread before I ever posted that question and never got a straight answer. When i pulled the speaker grill covers off my ST-S yesterday, i measured the hole at 4in.. So, I guess that means that I need a 4 inch speaker..lol I am thinking I will use a...

    Replacing radio speakers

    Sorry to dredge up an older thread, I just didn't want to start a whole new one on the subject. Did anyone ever determine the actual size speaker needed for the ST's? I have seen both 4in and 5in bandied about in this thread but never saw anything definitive. I have an ST-S and was...

    Any groups in southwest Houston or just Houston area?

    Well, ever since we picked up our spyder last Wednesday, my wife has loved it and has been looking for any opportunity to either ride around nearby home, or for me to take her on longer rides. Just curious if there are any active groups in or near Sugar Land or Houston proper as we obviously...

    ROT

    No issue. I honestly didn't know myself until last week when I was at the dealership picking up my new spyder. My wife was looking at it and I told her that they weren't legal yet since they hadn't classified them. The tech that was walking past and about to drive it to the shop told me that...

    After three years or lurking..... :)

    Be happy to post pics as soon as I get it here tomorrow. I haven't even seen it assembled yet. :D I did talk the dealer into throwing in the BRP passenger back rest, so I'll have to install that too.
