• 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.

    CONSENSUS HERE WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

    You described my situation exactly. I did a few around the parking lots. A mile of side road. Then 70mph for 70 miles home. Four things: 1.) learn acceleration characteristics. 2.) braking. 3.) blinkers. 4.) hi/lo beams. Then don't play with luxury gadgets until you get home. Or set them...

    Shoei vs HJC Helmets

    Just went from HJC to Shoei this last summer. Well worth the investment. Much less wind noise. Less fatigue inducement. This clearly a different class helmet. I purchased the photochrome visor and am still riding the fence about how I feel about it. But the helmet is A+. I also agree that if...

    USING THE ECO MODE 1330 Engine

    If find 60-65 to be optimum for fuel range. 32mpg is not bad. I am at 7500 miles and notice no difference. I don't use Eco mode at all. Highest mpg has been approx 42 on back roads 55-65. Found range was same with or without eco mode. Opted for better performance without it. Watch your throttle...

    Lets talk about rider fatigue.

    Agree on the earplugs. Much less fatigue with them than without. Will occasionally do short runs without just to hear what the bike is doing. But wear them 95% of the time. I have also found 55-65 mph to be much less fatiguing and extends gas range significantly. I also see a lot more scenery...

    First Time Without a Helmet

    After 30years working ER, I will ask you to wear it. We are vulnerable enough as it is. Protective gear works quite frequently. 2015 RT-S

    Interesting Perception of the Spyder in the MC Community

    Comparing three wheels to two wheels is kinda ridiculous anyway. Two wheels, trikes, reverse trikes, are all different creatures. You choose the equipment to achieve the goal. I find most two wheelers to be very friendly toward the spyder. Just not their preference. And when we do groups rides...

    USING THE ECO MODE 1330 Engine

    My range is the same with or without it. I go for performance. I tried alternating tanks on and off of eco mode. Not enough difference to sacrifice performance.

    USING THE ECO MODE 1330 Engine

    3 week old 2015 rt-s. With or without Eco mode we get the same mileage based on range. I alternate every other tankful is Eco mode. Range is consistently around 203 miles. There might be more in there but I am on the analog fuel gauge which is not as accurate as the digital. 2015 RT-S
