• 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.

    This was less expensive, experimental project. Worke well on our 300 mile trip last Wednesday.

    More Foot Room

    The first thing I did was look at how much a new set of those pieces cost. Less than $60 each! I figured it was worth the risk of wet or hot feet. And they'll be rain tested, no doubt. I live on the north coast of Oregon, and ride year round.

    Air Filter

    I installed a K&N Air Filter while changing the oil. Made a trip to Salem 2-up yesterday. The RT-S seemed to have more power and response, and I got better mileage. No dyno facts to back it up, but that was my impression.

    More Foot Room

    I made a slight modification to my RTS. Simply added a few extra inches, but it gave me extra room to move my feet forward.

    Air Filter

    I installed a K&N Air Filter on my ST1300 and put over 80,000 miles on it afterwards. No evidence of excessive wear, no oil smoke or use of oil. I'll buy another K&N!!!

    Tire update. Just for info, not starting a discussion or argument.

    h I bought a Federal Formoza FD2, 215/60R15 94V from my local Les Schwab tire store. They were even able to mount it for me. (A fellow biker friend who was willing to give it a try.) The reason why I changed was the higher mileage I expect from the standard tire. I notice no change in...

    Front Wheel Bearings

    2015 RT-S I have the squeak in the front end at about 30-35 mph. Gets louder the faster I go. No wobble, just noise. 16,000 miles, but I'm also 100 miles from the closest dealer.....

    What's your secret recipe?

    Power Steering What made a huge difference for me was the realization that the Spyder comes with Power Steering!! Never rode a 2-wheeler with Power Steering..... I'm now over 15,000.

    First Impressions

    Yes. I thought I'd made a mistaken purchase on my first ride home. Then, I found out it has power steering! Ride it with a light touch. Enjoy! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    A lot to learn. Thinking about shopping for a Spyder.

    There are hundreds of used Spyders out there. Many people get the itch, buy a Spyder, ride a few hundred miles, then it gets parked in the garage and sits for years. Look around and find a bargain. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    a cold lesson to learn

    I noticed that the two women right in front of the cell phone footage had their cell phones out and were also recording the train. They all knew what was going to happen! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    More oil nonsense

    What is blended oil? Each oil maker can blend synthetic into oil and call it blended. I decided to go with straight synthetic. Bought my filter from ebay and oil from O'Reilly's. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
