• 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.

    Shock Spring

    To eliminate the air bag on an RT, how would one figure the proper spring rate to just utilize a shock only, probably an Elka. I am sure you would deduct the wheel and swingarm assb. weight since it is unsprung wt. Would likely set up for two up riding most of the time. Any formula for this...

    temp fix for air bag failure on a trip

    I have thought of a single spring eliminating the airbag but wonder how a 700# spring would act with a solo rider. The combined wt. on my machine . 2014 RT . is 300# . I have no compressor. So I wonder how I would calculate a spring rate that would work with solo and two up. Thank you.

    Suspension

    The spring was too soft on the replacement shock. Bottom out. I do not have a compressor on board, have to increase settings manually. I run between 50-60 psi as I ride two up all the time. So I am looking for a higher rat spring to correct the bottoming. Tried a #500 per in. but it is too...

    Dealer just lost all my future business

    Oil Change I agree, it might take me 45-50 minuets for oil and filter. I drain the oil first and while it is draining I take off the panels by that time oil is drained. Install the filter, add the oil and button it up. Having magic mirrors helps. 2014 RT......1330.......
