• 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.

    My 2016 RT-L - Planning on an Octane Research project

    I got the 5 gallon version. Depending on how the last fill went, my gas light comes on when I have used about 5 gallons.

    My 2016 RT-L - Planning on an Octane Research project

    My overall mpg to date is 37.81. My overall cost/mile to date is $.1036. I ride pretty hard when I'm not cruising but most of my rides are fairly long with mostly cruising. I hope this stuff is not snake oil as I am not willing to tolerate any pinging or loss of performance during hard acceleration.

    My 2016 RT-L - Planning on an Octane Research project

    I don't really expect too much of an increase in MPG but hopefully some. The real change would hopefully be in cost/mile. The tablets only cost $1, so for 5 gallons I only need a $.20 decrease in the cost of 87 octane to break even. I have paid close to a $1.00/gallon premium for the good stuff...

    The Auto Downshift is irritating for changes to 2nd & 1st - can anything be done to block those down-shifts?

    Trying to pull away from a stop sign in 3rd would not be pretty. Saw this happen with a very experienced HD trike driver. Getting it restarted while in traffic is hectic. Of course he has a manual clutch. Quit using the auto downshift anyway. Keep your rpms up just in case you need to get away...

    Just found these RPM levels for the 1330

    Just trying to understand the meaning of the original post. I definitely don't contribute to any carbon build up on mine.

    Just found these RPM levels for the 1330

    Here is something I found on Lamonster's site: Here's something I picked up this morning that I thought I would share with you all. Great info for those of you that want to know how the 1330 clutch works. The clutch in the SE6 transmission is 100% dynamic. It is completely controlled by the TCM...

    Just found these RPM levels for the 1330

    This sounds like they are stating the RPMs for the SE5 on the earlier bikes.

    My 2016 RT-L - Planning on an Octane Research project

    I have now had my RTL for almost 5 years and put on almost 62,000 miles. I have records for all gas along with $/gal that I have bought since I have owned it. I did not keep track of octane level with each purchase but have used all levels. One thing I have noticed is the cost/gallon has the...

    What's with the Herky Jerky on first cold start-up of each day? Any thoughts?

    Mine does this also and the colder the day the worst it is. I think it is the computer figuring things out. Runs like a beast after some warm up time. I just don't crowd it right off the bat. Mine has never stalled!

    A Friendly Maintenance Reminder

    Thanks. Last time I checked mine with the Kriket it was ~160. Maybe I have vibrations, but don't know for sure so if it ain't broke... And thank you @Jetfixer, see something, say something!

    A Friendly Maintenance Reminder

    What benefit do these belt idlers do for my year of RTL? Always trying to improve her!

    My MPG skyrocketed in ECO Mode - is ECO Mode really that much better?

    I run in ECO mode, but I never shift when it tells me to. By keeping the RPMs up there is plenty of power and when I open it up I feel by not having WOT there is less stress on the drive train.

    What do you do for K&N Air Filter Cleaning? Use the Kit, or is there an easier/cheaper way?

    What say you Ron?

    Why won't my Spyder trans Auto upshift?

    The great thing about the SE is that if it is working correctly it is virtually impossible to kill the motor pulling away from a stop sign. You should never get caught out in traffic trying to get it restarted after you kill it. Seen it many times with other brands!

    Having trouble wiring a Garmin XT, so should I just run it on its battery? If I do, will it still show traffic?

    Did your bike come with the GPS or are you adding a new one? If the bike came with this GPS the black box sounds to me to be the docking station and charges and connects it to your sound system.

    Are you happy with your aftermarket CAR tires?

    The results of the poll should alone speak for itself! Maybe we should do an 'are you satisfied with the OEM tires' as most of us have experience with them?

    Are you happy with your aftermarket CAR tires?

    Tap into some of the untapped potential of your machine by putting good quality car tires on her. I love the Vredesteins all the way around. If I had stayed with Kendas for the rear, I would be on tire 6 by now. I just changed the rear, and that is number 4. I would still be on 3 if I hadn't run...

    What year or years of RT Limited Editions had the most problems or recalls? Any issues with 2015's?

    My 2016 RTL is still going strong at 65,000. Only had the front sprocket recall and a Cam position Sensor. Easy owner fix on the CPS.

    Bad news if you want a set of 165/60R-15 Vredestein Quatracs from tire rack!

    I have a different machine but I run the 175/55R15 and love the way it handles. I now have 39,000 on mine. I have never had mine aligned, but I will when I get new tires after the riding season. I did have mine recently remounted, balanced, and rotated, as mine were wearing on the insides on...
