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.
i need to speed up a bit
- Thread starter aka1004
- Start date
pps:i live in vegas and los angeles before that so a lot of sitting at light which, i think explains a lot of premature failure on my spyder parts. i am sure when brp design this, they never imagined that someone will like it so much that it will be their everyday ryde.

I am always up for a challange. I had a better mile/time rate before I broke the front sprocket bolt and went on a few sally/ helping beginner riders rides.

I think mine was better too. Lately I've been putting into town and back, stop and go stuff. Monday I did a long ride but mostly back roads and the only freeway stretch on the ride I got SOAKED in a thunderstorm.
Not that I didn't know better but just pressing my luck a bit too far.
Really like my Toyo T1R Tire in the heavy rain though. Much better than the OEM tire for sure.

Well, I've got 34160 miles and it shows 278 hours, for an average speed of 122.8 mph...:yikes:
Oh yeah, forgot that the hour meter reset when the new engine went in at 21000 miles..... so let's see, that leaves 13160 miles, darn - only 47.3 mph --I
ll have to stop riding it around town every day and just leave it for those long trips....

That's OK, with 80,000 miles and all that new Turbo Boost the TOTAL MOTOR will stop running soon as well. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::joke:

Rev limiter? :dontknow:
Forget the rev limiter, how about a solid clutch. :shocked:
How you going to get any speed out of it if you can't stop your new Barnett clutch from slipping in 5th gear under boost (which I heard via the grape vine) it does now? :yikes:
All the HP in the world is useless if it just "goes up in smoke" as the clutch burns away.
Too much power + too little clutch = goes nowhere. :roflblack::roflblack::joke:

If a Barnett complete set 1000 CC Aprilia clutch can't handle the Spyder boost...:yikes:... longer springs are on the way...

I had never thought of checking this before, and apparently I ryde much slower than I originally thought.
10,445 miles / 248 hours = 42.16 mph = slow poke.
Of course, all of the time letting it warm up and sitting at an idle waiting for other people factors into this but I am not sure how much of a difference that really makes.

Letting your Spyder 'Warm Up' does cut a lot off your AMPH. Plus it's not good for the motor. Sitting at stop lights, stop and go traffic, it really eats into your average more than you realize.
What the AMPH tells you is more about how much freeway driving or how much city driving you do more than how agressively you ride. It's fun to banter about but that's about it.

That is what was somewhat surprising, as most of the ryding I do is at highway speeds 60-65 or so. All in all I suppose showing 20 miles under that as an average isn't too bad at all.

well everyone sits and stop signs and i let mine warm up. But I run as fast as I can get away with, I am in a unique situation with this so I do run triples 70% of the time of the speedo which is of but for this its ok.
