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.

Thank you for your Service ….. Most folks here switch to Auto tires, when the Kenda's wear out ( rear very quickly ) You can get Auto tires online , then take the front wheels to just about any tire install shop and they will do it and have them Spin balanced … the rear is a bit more complicated …. Maybe your dealer will do it maybe NOT …..check first …. Mike

The for the quick response and you are welcome. My dilemma is that I am thinking about purchasing a 2012 RT in Hesperia Ca. I live almost 200 miles away. The tires are original. The Spyder was purchased new in 2014. I ask about weather checking and cracks in the tire but they are somewhat unsure as to the condition. So, I am trying to help from long distance. If there is someone on the forum from around that area that would lend both of us some assistance, I would appreciate it.

If it was parked in an attached garage or similar situation the tires should be OK. As long as they aren't totally worn out, anyway.
If it was parked in the sun and the tires are in bad shape, well I personally wonder if it's a good buy. Depends on price at that point....

Hello jarvis, and also thank you for your service. BlueKnight is right, The Kenda's are not very good tires at all. I had persistent balance issues with the front and the rear was worn out after 6,000 miles (10,000 KM). I put on car tires front and back last month, had them balanced and a laser alignment. Bike rides much, much better now. If the bike is solid and all it needs is tires.....?
