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.
What Kind of "Release" Did You Sign?

Never sign away your legal rights if you do not have to. Try a different dealer. A small thing could turn into a big thing. A good corporate lawyer could void everything in your warranty if a big issue happened.
It is a shame we cannot even choose a particular brand of tire without someone getting their ire up.

I think it holds them harmless if there's an issue with the tire or anything relating to the tire (traction, etc). It can't void any other part of your warranty. My dealer has had me sign a waiver before installing an aftermarket tire on my Spyder. I sign it and am glad they'll change it. I just buy the tire and take it to them.

Tempest in a Tea-Pot!
Has anyone had or heard of anyone having an issue caused by a 'Car Tire' being installed? Has anyone had or ever heard of anyone having a warranty issue for this reason? In my case the answer is no.
It is a shame that replacing a very low quality, light duty car tire with a much better car tire creates this much angst. Hopefully, you can find someone that isn't put off by installing a better, safer, longer lasting (and at the same time less expensive) item on your Spyder.

Learn to take the rear wheel off yourself,it isn't hard. There are videos here that will show you how without disturbing the belt. Find a tire store that can mount your tire for you, there are lots of them, most any car tire store and be done with the whole problem.

Easier than a motorcycle....
:agree:
It should be much easier than a motorcycle wheel. I took the wheels off my sportster with the bike on a lift & straps to the ceiling beam. 3 wheels, floor jack or small lift & jack stands. Should be easy enough.:yes::yes::yes::yes:

I just take my own wheel off and bring it to a shop. Last one I bought the tire from Costco and later brought them the wheel and tire.
They charged me $10.00 to change the tire and that included disposal of the old tire. I use Ride on for balancing so did not need that done.
The hard part of the rear tire removal for me is getting the trailer hitch off as it is (on mine) a press fit.

I just watched the DIY video on changing the rear tire. Well, that's way beyond my wherewithall at 68 years old and arthritis in my hands. Guess I'll have to deal with a dealer.

My dealer is happy to mount an aftermarket tire... as long as it's in the OEM sizing. No releases are required! :thumbup:

THIS^...It really isn't that hard to do. And there are plenty places that will mount the tire, ya just gotta ask around.

When I worked at a dealership you had to sign a waiver if you brought in a wheel and tire without the motorcycle. The waiver was to hold the shop harmless in case the user screwed up putting it back on the bike, etc. Under the Moss Magnusson act I am fairly confident that signing a waiver for putting a non-OEM tire on would not affect the warranty on a non related part, say like the radiator.

I guess you do not participate in many group rides or poker runs, were a waiver to hold harmless is typically both standard and a requirement.

A bit off topic, but did you guys have to sign a disclaimer when you bought the Spyder?
I remember having to go thorugh a ticklist sheet at the dealer in germany and then sign the bottom. Had things like 'not drive on gravel', 'not drive on snow' etc. on it. Must have been at least 10 things on there I had to pledge not to do before I could take it away.
Ironically I broke the snow one on the way back to the Uk as it was snowing when my ferry docked!! I definitely broke the gravel road one last week.
I wonder if I've got a copy somewhere - could be fun trying to tick them off in the opposite way, as in I've done them!!
