• 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.

My Handlerbars Keep Coming Loose - anyone else? Fix?

I have to tighten my handlerbars after riding sometimes, anyone else here have that problem? I think I'm going to use some of the tighten glue, the blue kind. I was riding the other day and my handlebars slipped one notch while I was in a slow turn.

Do you have a torque wrench? If so, tighten to spec. Gradually tighten each fastener in turn more and more until you reached the correct tightness.
If you don't have a torque wrench, go on line a look for Harbor Freight coupons. The often put their torque wrenches on sale. Their cheaper line will get you in the ball park.

The screw that is in the center of the flip lid to set the handlebar is where I want it to be position is the problem screw I use a flat head screwdriver to tighten it. It has to be tighten counter clockwise to be tighten.

Torque wrenches work counter clockwise too. There are screwdriver sockets as well.
