• 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.

As I understand,the 2014 has a lower torque curve and runs a lower RPM.and a 6 speed transmition.I tow a aspen camper.Will I find that I will need to run in 5th gear to get the job done.I have found this to be the case on 2 wheel motorcycles.The lower RPM equalled to higher gear ratio and was not getting the power to the ground and towing suffered big time.Anyone towing with the 2014 ? How does towing compare to the 2 cylinder Spyders of the past?
 
No problem..!!

You should be fine towing in top gear on flat open roads. As stated and as you know you will have to shift down when you feel the need...:thumbup:
