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 have used ride on for years. I have found objects embedded in tires when they finally wore out that would have caused flats without the ride on.

No mess. Totally washes away with soap & water. And no worries of corrosion on the wheel either. Great product. Get some for peace of mind, and you won't be sorry.:doorag:

Do you use the motorcycle or car ride on?

The tech that changed out my last tires said that the gel pretty much stayed in the tire. I did give him a heads up that it was there, but I haven't always done that in the past but no shop has ever voiced any displeasure because of that.
I have ridden out having a rear tire go flat suddenly a couple of times. It is not a fun ride so anything I will use anything that will keep me from going through that again. Cleaning up gel from a tire change is a lot easier than healing up from injuries caused by the bike going down.

I used the MC version misty recently because that was what was really available. I wouldn't have a problem with using the auto stuff in the Spyder.

I believe a few have contacted the company and they rep had stated that the automotive version should be used but I would call them and make sure.

:agree: that is what the company tech told me to use. The only side effect that I have is that when the Spyder is not used for a few days the sealant settles to the bottom of the tire. It then takes a few miles for it to rebalance. Overall I like it and if it keeps me from having a flat that is a big plus.

Are there any downsides to using this product?

The only downside I found is when you take it out to get the gel distributed it feels like you are riding with bricks. But the gel gets distributed fairly soon and I've had only smooth riding after that.
It is added through the valve stem. Some use it as the only means of balancing, and if you go to the website I believe that they claim it balances your tires. Ride On is not necessarily cheap, but if you search the forum you may find a discount code if ordered online.

If your tires are already balanced do you pull the weights off when you add the Ride-On?? I just had new tires put on my Victory and the front tire has a little vibration in it. The rear tire is good and the tires on the Spyder ride smooth as well but I want to add Ride for the sealing ability.

No... you do not pull the existing weights off.
Ride-On balanced my tires when the Service Dept. couldn't. I highly recommend it.
