• 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.

Lack of traction / excessive wheel spin

~190# give or take a donut. I have the FMF pipe, which loses somewhere around 10# off the back.
Hey Ron, I ordered one of your sway bars! It should be here next week. Looking forward to it!


It's not going to help any with the wheel spin. But you should have a lot more fun while your wheel(s) are spinning! :thumbup:
 
You guys are all saying excessive wheel spin like it is a bad thing:hun:

Get to wearin' that bad boy out and then you will have a reason to replace it. :D :2thumbs:

Just sayin'.............

If wheel spin is due to an extraordinary amount of HP, then that's a good thing. If it is due to a very low traction factor, that's a bad thing. Since there is no reason to suspect the first condition, the 2nd must be considered to be the case.
 
To quantify excessive spinning, I mean it wouldn't hook up meaningfully until 3rd, and the traction control light flashes at 80 mph. It has improved a bit with mileage, it was pretty silly that cars could walk away from me while I sit there spinning. It has improved a bunch, but I imagine I have the original hard compound tire, and this might be the reason BRP went with a softer compound.

Time to get hosed for the break-in check-up/ $300 / Nice!
 
I'm really not lazy haha

So the short answer was the dealer put 41psi in the rear tire. Nice.

I just had shoulder surgery a couple weeks ago or I would have checked it sooner. Leaning and reaching doesn't feel so good.
 
Really ?

41 pounds? :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: It does sound like fun, doing a four gear burnout.:thumbup:
 
At 41 lbs no wonder the tire would not stick to the road. :roflblack:

When I bought my first Spyder the dealer delivered it with the front tires with 25 and 22 lbs and the rear at 22 lbs.
 
:shocked: I'd call the dealer, and let him know that he owes you a tire... :gaah: Tell him that you wore this one out! nojoke
41 psi: amazing... :banghead:
