• 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.

problem checklist being addressed this wed...

1. my tranny is getting checked cause it's not downshifting into first properly.

2. tranny getting checked for upshifting into 3rd and 4th, SE5 tranny is slipping and over revving on the upshift. Im going for a complete engine/tranny filter change this time around. Hopefully that's all it needs.

3. Lately it's been stalling... Ya that's right,,,, out of the blue it decides to stop running. No codes no limp modes etc. It only stops at slow speeds1-10 mph. Sometimes it feels like it's starving for gas, and sometimes it just stops dead fast..

4. excessive creeping.. It was like this new for a while,, but now it's back and worse than new. It creeps bad in reverse now too.

5. smelling stinky gas fumes now, only at higher speeds, sometimes it actually smells like a charcoal BBQ, lump charcoal to be precise.. Im assuming it's exhaust gaskets replacement time..or something is burning up slowly underneath somewhere.

6. park brake not working at all again.. I wish I could ditch that part but it's a necessary thing.

Otherwise im enjoying the riding time, im glad it hasn't tried to put me in the ditch since the dps replacement. The weather's been great, the girl im hangin with loves it. Ive had some nice all night rides this past week of super hott nights. :ohyea:
 
Why am I not surprised - you pulling all nighters?!

When you coming down to CT to hang w/ us?!

great nights, one night was nice and foggy coming back home..besides dodging roadkill and the smell of manure here and everywhere I loved it..
Got caught once in a 5 minute downpour around 2am, it was fantastic , we spit out our smokes both stuck our tongues out and lapped up all the rainfall we could.. Other things cannot be discussed here...:popcorn: Ive had some good rides.

Hope to get some issues fixed with the bike,than after my bro shows up and leaves after his vacation I should be good to go to CT.

Anyway, when you firm up a date, let us know!
