• 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.

    Has anyone used a Toyo PXTR1 91V Rear tyre? Thoughts, opinions?

    I have about 400miles on the 215/60/15 tyre and it is fine. Going over rough sufaces seems smoother than the original and have been out in plenty of rain and all feels good

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Just back from a run to Langholm and over to Eskdalemuir (there is a Tibetan monastery there). Temperature around 7 degrees and wet roads, snow at Eskdalemiur and a brief hail storm near the temple. A round trip of about 70 miles hands and backside warm - feet freezing. A decent run out and the...

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    I have looked at the many opinions on the forum on tyres and as some know, I fitted a Vredestein on the rear recently. I honestly think it handles rough road surfaces better than the standard OEM tire, altho we have only covered about 150mls since fitting as the weather has been crap, but it...

    When the aliens arrive, I would like a seat at the front please. I have put landing instructions on my outhouse roof, fingers crossed. Some sage advice here.

    Random thought for the day

    We did the Rockies on motorcycles 22 years ago, and when we were in Kelowna, the woman on reception gave us a large umbrella and told us to make ourselves big if we encountered a bear. Difficult to do when we both weighed around 120lbs and were 5ft 4in tall!

    I got a pair of Fodsports FXs for around £70, decent quality for the price we thought.

    Complete Newbie Experiences - 2021 RT Limited

    At 8000 mls, the rear tyre could be ready for change. I have just fitted a new rear at 6,7750 mls, swapping OEM for a Vredstein 205/60/15. It feels ok and I hope for better mileage.

    Complete Newbie Experiences - 2021 RT Limited

    Hi John and welcome to a forum that is educational. I bought our Spyder RTL September last year and used it all winter. At first I thought I had made a very expensive mistake, but as the miles clocked up, so did my confidence. At around 1500 miles I knew I had made a good choice. 50 yrs on two...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Took my Spyder out today, first time since tyre change (weather has been awful for over 2 weeks). Temp was around 40°F but managed 80 miles. New Vredestein Quattrac feels good! yahoo

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    This was my first change and I followed all I could on this site to carry the job out. I'm not new to bits of m/c mechanics, but I feel at 70, I tend to over think the job in hand.'. I taped mine, (from a video on this site) but a good tip, thanks.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Last week I changed the rear tyre on my Spyder, When removing the wheel we noticed no split pin on the axle and strangely only 1 hole drilled. We put it all back together and I ordered a Krikit and 36mm spanner and socket (I had to borrow them initially). I contacted the dealer 90 miles from me...

    Done - Rear Tire Replacement on my 2020 RT!

    I have the Big Blue and you cannot take the shock bolt out because the lift works on the shock as well. In spite of this, the belt walks off easily and the lift is very secure (it does take a bit of time to fit it correctly) but once it's in use, it's a great piece of kit and worth the money!

    Who has the factory adjustment data for a 2025 Spyder RT belt adjustment in mm?

    Having just changed the rear tyre on my 2023 RTL, this information is critical to my brain well being. Thank you all for the info you provide, nothing like this is available where I am.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    New tyre fitted today, a few checks still to do because I am a pessimist, and even though it's around 7 degrees here, it's time to play. Sorry to use an inappropriate word in an earlier post.
