• 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.

    Goodbye

    Like everything in life there are changes as you go, and you have to get used to them! For the most part the changeover wasn't that bad, things changed a small, small amount, and are working well in my book! If you had something go wrong with your posting in the for-sale postings you should have...

    Is this Rubber band feeling from stop normal? Don't notice it again once started...

    The bike has to warm up, the oil is cold and the trans is sharing that too, so I guess we are all going through this issue, altho I don't remember it being so pronounced with my 2012 as it is with the 2025! :unsure:

    Hey, he got his money's worth out of those items!!!! 🤣 But yes Ron, you're right, there is a limit to how far you should stretch it out! Man, he must have launched himself over the bars at the first stop sign from the shop!! Wow

    Do you have a vegetable garden &/or grow any Fruit trees? What time & effort do you put into it, and what do you grow?

    Peter, you better hope your rabbits don't figure out how to play pig pile and get over the fence!🤣 My mother had a great recipe for rabbit!😊But after hearing the numbers you have, you would grow tired of it quick, I think!:unsure:

    Do you have a vegetable garden &/or grow any Fruit trees? What time & effort do you put into it, and what do you grow?

    I have a friend who hunts in the fall up the street, thank God, who has the biggest dog you ever seen and has deer on his lawn every night! I seems we are dealing with a different strain of beast here in Durham! My bride loves flowers and has given up, she buys deer resistant flowers, shrubs...

    Do you have a vegetable garden &/or grow any Fruit trees? What time & effort do you put into it, and what do you grow?

    Peter, I can remember back a while ago you were saying you had a rabbit problem, I am surprised that they let you have anything! Myself, I have deer problem and we have a love/hate relationship, they love my veggies, and I love them with mash potatoes and pea's! They have beat me down so many...

    My Cruise control won't allow me to accelerate just by twisting the throttle - Is this normal?

    It should go up, but if you want it to go slower than the set speed, then yes, you have to kick it out, either by tapping your brake or hitting your switch in the down position.

    Any thoughts on what this Noise when turning on headlights might be?

    Yup, that's why they tell you to mount it outside of the housing! :cool:

    Did an upgrade Sway Bar improve your handling? Which one? And what about Shocks?

    Maybe the Easter Bunny will drop off a set of shocks!!! ;)

    Any thoughts on what this Noise when turning on headlights might be?

    There is a noticeable CLUNK on that shutter system! Have not heard of too many having troubles with them.

    How long does the Factory Belt Tensioner last by miles?

    If you have a vibration dampener on your bike, I would give it check at least every oil change and twice before a big trip, because when it goes, it is not a mileage thing at all - when the bearings are going to leave the chat, they will leave!!! Like others have said above, carry some zip ties...

    My upgraded ST-S headlights and fog lights with LED

    I can tell you from my experience after changing over the lights on a 2012 RTL it's a little on the tight side to get your hands down in there and get the bulb in place on the bike! If I was to do it again, I would take the nose right off all together and have all kinds of room to work and you...

    28k Service - I must rant about my experience

    It's human nature to want the latest and greatest technology, heck I had a perfectly good running 2012 RTL, sold it to my brother-in-law and got a 2025 S2S, we are both happy campers! Working on these machines weather old or new are the same, you just need the parts, whether it's BRP's, parts...

    FS: Spyder RT parts

    I can tell you that if you're only seeing a small amount of oil around that shaft of that shock, that is very normal, especially after a rebuild. If you have a great amount of oil, then the seal or shaft has an issue. Good luck, hope you're not getting out of the sport all together!!
