• 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.

Trailer Flats - Have you had one or more?

Thinks out loud
I'm kind of a tool box Charley and therefore am thinking about not hauling the spare to cut down weight. With all five tires being tubeless it kind of makes sense, I think. But before I leave it home for the first time it would help to know what others have experienced.

If it was me, I could ride 100,000 miles with the spare along and never need it. As soon as I would leave the house without it, I would get a flat about 10 miles out (just so riding back on the flat would not be an option) :banghead:
 
I have Ride-On in the RT-622 tires and also carry a spare tire&wheel. With this combination I hope I never have a flat on the road.

Have you thought of carrying a tire repair kit with pneumatic pump? Its lighter than a spare tire and cheaper too. I think Lamont had a tire blow on his 622 due to a seized bearing. I have Ride-On in my bike but not trailer.....yet.
 
I have Ride-On in the RT tires and the 622 trailer tires, carry a spare, Slime w/compressor and AAA card. I should be covered.
 
I also carry a spare, have ride-on in all tires, have an air compressor and have not had any tire problems in 17,000 miles. I hope that I have not jinxed myself by being proud of being as prepared as possible.

:opps: I hope not too :pray:
 
I carry plugs and a compressor.

Murphy's Law says that if you carry a spare for the trailer you'll have a flat on the Spyder ... and vice versa. And we all know Murphy was an optimist!!

I know Murphy - just wish he didn't know me :pray:
 
Pump Info

As an FYI....NEVER use the accessory plug in the rear trunk to power your air pump. It is not rated to handle the amperage your air pump uses...you will blow the fuse for the accessory plug.
 
Compressor Amps vs Accessory Amps

I have used the rear plug to run my compressor many times with no problem blowing the fuse.

Rudy, I think you have been lucky....so far. Most Air pumps are rated for more than 3-amps (see your compressor label). This means IF you need more than 3-amps the compressor WILL call for it and the accessory fuse WILL fail - as designed.



See your Owners Manual pg 49 for the following:

Using the 12 V Power Outlet
A 12 V power outlet is available on thevehicle. It is located in the top storagecompartment.

A 12-volt electric appliance may beconnected to the jack connector. Electric current is supplied all the time.
NOTICE
The 12-volt power outletis not designed to supply current ofmore than 3 amperes.
NOTE: Leaving an appliance con-nected while the engine is not runningwill gradually discharge the battery.
