• 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.

water wetter really works!!

i added a bottle of water wetter when my spyder started over-heating and it was just little bit low on coolant, thinking that might be the problem but it turns out my thermostat is malfunctioning BUT when coolant is circulating, my spyder is running much cooler.
i only saw 6 bars one time yesterday ryding in stop and go traffic and was mostly on 4 bars. i did not get on the freeway but i am thinking it will run on 3 bars with the air dam and water wetter. my spyder has never ran cooler in this kinda weather till the thermostat malfunctions again and temp zooms up to 7 bars...

if you ryde all summer, this 10 dollar investment will keep your spyder happier for sure but even if you don't, running almost a bar cooler never hurts.:thumbup: water wetter is sold at ridenow and cyclegear, pink liquid in clear bottle.
 
For only $10 a bottle, it sure seems worth it. Especially since it is highly doubtful it can hurt anything to put it in there. Thanks for sharing.
 
sounds good

I hope to change some of my fluid and put some tape on the exhaust, by next spring foe SPYDERFEST 2:2thumbs: it has to help,,:clap:
 
I was thinking of putting engine ice in my ATV until others discovered it was corroding the water impellers. Many had issues.... I think I remember you were supposed to drain the coolant to make sure you did not mix but it has been awhile... So, make sure you do some research before using.
 
Another Ryde

Ken, any idea when the Vegas Spyders are gonna ride again. I enjoyed :clap: the last ryde up to the Valley of Fire. Let's make this happen. :yes:

I just replaced the coolant with engine ice it took about 45 minutes to pull panels of and drain and flush system out, the maker of this product say it should reduce temps by 10 degrees and flows better then normal coolent.
Which allows the coolant to cool faster , any way at $30.00 each x2 bottle
I hope it works
