• 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.

AM radio antenna

Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem: I'm riding along on my 2014 RT Limited, listening to a local AM radio station (very close ...not a distant station), when I begin to get a lot of interference. To make a long story short: I eventually realized the problem is my antenna. As it "rocks" back and forth (with the movement of the bike), it causes interference. I can park the bike (sit still), with a clear am radio signal, then bend the top of antenna back a couple inches and let it go which starts the antenna to rocking back and forth, which starts the interference. As the rocking slows down, the interference slows down until the antenna is still once again ...and the interference slows to a stop. I can't find any connection problems and FM and weather radio work just fine. The antenna is snug and seems to be perfectly installed in it's bracket. But the interference is definitely related to the rocking antenna. I can see/hear the interference with the movement of the antenna. When it's perfectly still, the reception is clear as a bell. Anybody else had this problem? If so, what did you do?
 
Sounds like something is loose in the base of your antenna. You may :
1. want to make sure everything is tight at the base of your antenna, and that it's grounded properly.
2 if that doesn't solve your issue, you may want to give a shortie antenna a try. Lots of posts about these here.
