So has any one found the good tire pressure for the RTS13 yet. To stop the hunting feel going down the road. Put the new akls on front , Ron's new links on ends of sway bar. But still hunts down the road?..??

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.
Rts tire pressure ? Front and rears?

I think it was Ann who mentioned that the 2013s like a little bit LESS air pressure up front than the prior models... :thumbup:
Shorter sidewall; let it flex just a bit more...

My performance car background coming out here but with the spyder front suspension having more to do with automotive than motorcycle tech....Is the castor angle not adjustable on this suspension? And if so, has anyone experimented with a bit more castor angle? Would increase steering effort a small amount but increase straight line stability. At least it does on 4 wheel vehicles.

Nope toe is the only thing adjustable on the '13s

choices, choices..!!
it will all come back down to starting with the recommended pressure and adjusting to your liking. Everyone seems to be at a different pressure and now with different tires in the mix it gets even more complicated. You all have your own ryding styles and different terrains and climates. Run them at the minimum for a ryde or two then the maximum and go from there...jmo good luck and know you will find your preferred pressure..!! :thumbup:

I do 18 and 29. Seems good to me. 19 causes the front to "hop" when negotiating turns on rough roadways. 17 feels squishy to me.

John, mine was delivered with 20 in the front and that was crazy. Dropped it to 18 front and 28 rear and I didn't have any problems with hunting.

2012 RTS- 18 Front 28 rear any more in the rear and it gets to be a too bouncy ride.
