• 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.

Any way to get a sportbike sound out of the Spyder's Rotax?

Thanks all for the comments/suggestions!

I'm officially agnostic on this: I love the HD rumble as much as I love the sportbike wheeee! whine. I admit to finding it incongruous that I have a bike under me that spools up to over 9000 RPM and *doesn't* make that sportbike sound, it just kind freaks me out :).

I don't think I'll be changing out the exhaust on my bike anyway- coming up on my one year anniversary of ownership, I feel like I've put PLENTY of $$$ into the Spyder already. I mean, who puts EVEN MORE money into their bikes?

I'm sure that I have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about. Is it legal to do these things of which you speak?? :roflblack:

Yeah, not much you can do here, it's missing 2 cylinders and shorter strokes. I believe the new newest version of the Yamaha R1 is set-up to fire like an inline V-twin. I take it you wouldn't go for a 998 single in the Spyder...I'm thumper and I know it.
 
CHASING H D

i don't think it's chasing the h d sound as much as it's chasing ANY sound. the stock pipe is so DEAD. i'll put my tunable home made pipe up against anything , for a great sound. just so happens that it runs excellent too. thanks amt jim for your guidance. i'll have to make a video:lecturef_smilie:
