• 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.

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    Yes it is loud on my '14 RT. But compared to my '92 5.0 Mustang fuel pump it is quiet. And it was that way from day one... on both. Sound of Power?

    Air in the System?

    Ok, Whats going on? Idled tonight for a few minutes after being parked for several hours. Pulled out onto the road and went a couple blocks and the fans turned on and kept running. Usually they will run for a few seconds and quit. Noticed the needle going up into the red and the guage cluster...

    Kuhmo Tire

    What????? I rode my 2014 Rt to Tire Discounters and told the manager what I wanted and why. He didn't have one in stock but had one a couple days later. I took the wheel in and he mounted the Kuhmo. 10 minutes and less than 1/2 the price of the Kenda crap. I let the dealership do the rear tire...

    New '14 owner

    I traded my '10 with 31,000 miles for the 14 also. Don't be upset when the new one eats the oem tire up in 5000 miles. The extra go-muscle is worth it. I also stepped up to the bajaron bar and elkas. 2-wheelers don't have a chance on the curves now.

    Dealer Rip-off?

I just put a new rear tire on...

    How do you set up for a turn on a sm6?

    I read the whole thread and didn't see it. If I missed it... sorry. Don't forget YOU. Left turn press down with your foot on the right peg. Press into the knee pad with your left knee. The idea is to use your legs to support your body slinging around, NOT your arms and shoulders. As you turn...

    Optional Electronic "Frunk" Switch

    I ordered my electrc release when I picked up the 2014RTS. Haven't put it in yet, been busy riding. If the button color is blue I will have one for sale. Someone I know ordered one for his 2013 and they sent him a blue one. Looks stupid on his all amber dash and controls. So he had to deal with...

    2014 RT activating blinker stops cruise control

    My cruise hasn't worked yet. Dealer ordered a new switch assembly. 6000 miles so far on the 2014. Still Waiting.....When they work, do they work good? I had trouble with my 2010 not wanting to climb hills or slow down as it ran down the other side. As long as it was flat it was ok.

    Exactly what does "Eco Mode" do?

    I had an 08 Hayabusa that had 3 modes for driving. It changed the engine map/throttle response. Mode 1 was go fast, very, very fast. Mode 2 reduced the power and throttle response for "in town" driving. Mode 3 was for rain. Even snapping the throttle in mode 3 would't break the rear tire loose...

    Jacking Up the RT

    I used car ramps on top of 2 2x12s. then a platform for the rear wheel that is the same height as the ramps. Now the tricky part, use a 4x4 block on top of a floor jack and lift only the left side front wheel. Have a friend ready with the bar as you lift. It is a lot easier to lift at an angle...

    12,000 plus miles and need ti replace my rear tire AGAIN

    5000 miles on the OEM and it is junk. I am not a "burnout monster" so that number is unexceptable. Getting my Kumho put on right now. The center of the OEM is almost completely smooth and there goes the theory that the flatter tire would wear better. These soft OEM's mushroom out in the middle...

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    I start mine by turning on the key, wait for the display to wake up, then flip the run/stop button down and yell "CONTACT". It gives the fuel pump noise some meaniing....saw that in a movie once...but I think it was a plane they were starting up. Anyway sounds like they all do it. I would rather...

    Looking at 2014 RT-S Spyder

    Add Elkas to your list. Right after the swaybar. And I switched from a Hayabusa to the Spyder. Now there's an engine I would put in a Spyder.

    Cleaning

    Use a high quality auto wash soap. They are designed to remove the dirt and leave the wax. Dish soap, laundry soap are very harsh and strip the wax off. As for the panels, I put a smudge of white grease on the post of the cover and it will make a world of difference the next time you remove and...

    changed rear tire problem

    I did it too. If you bump the e brake assembly while the brake is off, like when messing with the rear tire, it will pop the cable off the actuator under the upper right body panel. I took off the body panel to fix it and tried to make it happen again after It was put back on. Yup, does it every...
