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.

Got a guy coming out to replace the tire. $218 tire repair. I will have a spare next time.

So just how many of us venture out towing without a spare tire?

I know that I'm guilty!

It's worst than I thought. Looks like I loss a wheel bearing and who knows what else.

Glad its only a flat and nothing more personally serious.
First, think you will now add it to your trailer tires, and;
Second, do you think having it would have prevented the blowout, and;
Third, how did the bike handle/feel like during the flat?

Just curious. I put Ride-On in mine, and did not want to hear of a flat with it in there. I also carry a Stop-N-Go tire plugger and a compressor. I have considered a spare, and carry one on my tent camper, but I hate to give up the space and the weight. I hope you can get a bearing, and be back on the road soon.
Just a reminder to all, that there is a maintenance schedule for the trailer, too. Although the schedule calls for greasing the bearings every 12,000 miles, this is hard to track. I suggest doing it at the beginning of every riding season. The bearings and seals can be inspected and replaced (if necessary) at that time.

Don't know if they make them for the Spyder, But i put Bearing Buddy's on all my Trailers, Makes it easy to grease, and see if they need grease, Also i think 12,000 miles is too long an interval between greasing, Especially with relatively small tires [hubs]

Sorry Lamont that you have a tire problem and possibly a bearing issue as well.
I have a sneaking feeling that the bearing went out thus causing the tire to hit the trailer and cutting that big gash.. Just a guess.
Hope you get it fixed and on the road very quickly and will see you in Daytona..

My thought too. Bad bearing+heat= blowout.

I think Bearing Buddys would require a change of wheels, or modification of the RT-622 wheels. They are not made to fit closed wheels or wheels with flush hubcaps.
