I raced Karts many long years ago and ride with BMW sport tourers that like to go fast. I have no choice but to nail the throttle to keep them in sight when they accelerate out of the curves. WOT is...

There are expert tire guys here and will do a better job than I but here's my take.
The OEM (Kenda) tires are very soft and balloon in the center at speed so the sides will last very long but the...

Combo of ramps up front and jack at end of center rail for oil changes. If doing rear tire, just the jack in the back. If taking front wheel off, the jack moves to the wishbone.

I also felt the need to lean after getting the Spyder so I bought a used Aprilia Mana 850 as a stablemate. I run the Spyder most of the year (12 month rider) but for short rides on HOT days, I'm on...

I have put 39000 miles on my 2020 RT in just over 3 years. Year-round every weekend runs, a few long weekend trips and a 13 day Yellowstone loop. When I'm out riding, I don't feel like keeping a...

Look at MRA. May be the current best for iphone.

"Water seeks it's own level" comes to mind. From a larger group of riders, I found 5 other riders with my mindset/risk tolerance. We stopped riding in parades that made crossing highways a *****Show....

Consider bolting a Shad topcase onto the rack instead of the passenger backrest. You get her backrest and a place to store your cooler too. The Shad case will cost less than $250.

I always wear earplugs and wear modular lids. I found that Musicians earplugs work best for filtering out the road noise but letting the intercom and music thru. I consider the earplugs part of All...

The brake switch is a great place to start. Watch the lights and SLOWLY press/release the pedal. Mine would go on and off a couple times on a single depression. I was constantly getting the nanny to...

I went with an RT Base over the Limited/S2S. For $4000, there wasn't enough pluses for me. The Base model came with heated grips, so I added a Shad top case and bought a new set of heated seats from...

The benefits of using a stand-alone GPS are the ability to create your own routes. If all you do is ride directly to your destination, you don't need a GPS. But if you want to shape your journey to...

Short answer: save your sanity and just BT the phone and forget the BRP app. There are hours of comment on this forum. Enjoy the read!

I mounted my opener on the underside of the dash cowl using 3m-loc fasteners (from EZPass supply). Solid mount, easy reach, and easy to pop off.

I agree - in general. But when a D-ring lid costs $650 in the US and the same lid with ratchet strap is $400 delivered from off-shore dealers, I'm willing to wait an extra week!

LM risers will help bring bars a little closer but for full adjustment, including wrist angle, you should look at Heli-bars. Not cheap but I found them to be the answer for max comfort.

I buy my lids from the Netherlands because they are cheaper and I can get a ratchet strap instead of D-rings. I suppose IF I get pulled over by LEO for speeding, they can tack on the non-DOT lid if...

Any Zumo 590/595/XT/XT2 that you're willing to spend for. They all have lifetime map updates.

Facebook is a cesspool. I used it in the past but quit it a couple years ago.

The Nanny will reduce/cut the engine power when it feels slippage. It can also apply brakes if I'm not mistaken. I used to get the Nanny to do that frequently but never felt steering intervention....

I've ridden the BRP, Cherahola, TOD, Skyline, etc. several times. Personally, the TOD is a 'Merit Badge' road just to say you did it, but is the most technical of the list. Once is enough, but the...

What a crock! What I do agree with is: The changes in handling are FAR IMPROVED over the OEM rubber bands when running car tires.

All the above are true. A couple more advantage of a Zumo over the phone is Zumo is waterproof. Phones overheat in the sun and can be shaken to death. Save your phone for PHONE CALLS and let the Zumo...

I haven't ridden a Ryker but there are many pluses for the Spyder based on specs alone.
1. Spyder is twice the price of a Riker. That should be a hint that the Spyder has upgraded features.
2....

Outside temperature is not relevant when talking about 'checking when cold'. Tires warm up as they are ridden so 'Cold checking' means the PSI before the tires are run and brought up to operating...

If you want to defeat the 'condom' used on many pumps look into one of these.

I use the Sport model.

Best setup is a direct to battery, fused wire with SAE connector and coax adapter. Can also be used to trickle charge. A more elegant solution is to use a relay controlled by the GPS (key-on) lead...

You can also look for the Wildass branded cushion of the same size as the Cruiser-R. Just as reliable as the Airhawk I had before the valve stem base couldn't be patched. I've had the Wildass for...

I push my machines harder than most and the same is true for my RT. The 1st 1000 miles on the kendas regularly woke up the nanny in the twisties. Based on this forum's expert advice, I switched to...

I guess I'm the outlier here because my PC is mounted on the dash and has never had a problem even in very heavy downpours.
