• 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.

FUEL / IDLE ?

So far I have been doing very well with my J.B. settings. Running GREAT!! But' the past few days around 100deg temp and Humid. to match. When I start it up.It likes to fall on its face for a min. 2.Thn after a good warm up it sounds like its missing. I went out and cranked the fuel up even more. Now it seems to be doing fair again.More so just after start up and then a little shaky off and on unstable idle but' tolerable.I really would have thought less fuel in warm weather like this. But' it seems to be more fuel all the time. I keep going fuels gonna be maxed out. Any one else deal with this type of a problem?? :chat:
Thanks ED

I live in MD and I've found that high heat and humidity affect the bike to some extent...I think I have the JB settings pretty good (have hindle and green filter), but invariably, there are some issues until I really get going. I just replaced my exhaust gaskets, so we'll see what effect that has...

Now that I have set the fuel up once again. It runs GREAT on start up all the way thru warm up. Then the idle gets not bad but still get a little unstable. Runs fare but' still not as good as when cold. I still think it needs more fuel. Got me baffled :dontknow:

Do you have higher concentrations of ethanol out there? We're at 10% in MD...not sure if they affects things as it burns differently..

I tweak my JB after the updates...usually takes me about 5-6 fill-ups to get it right...now, I'm only on I think the third since the second update....been really busy and unable to ride too much :(

It's in the 90s here now with humidity...yuck...not a very comfortable ride...

I think its about the same here. But' what they say and what it is who knows?? I'm also curious as to just how much of a diff. Octane would make. Thinking about trying a little octane booster.
 
Save your $$$ on the extra octane--- Spyder doesn't need it.

I don't ryde mine until I have 2 bars.

Safer to run too rich than too lean.....
