Ride-On for your Spyder

[spydrluvr]

I get a lot of calls, PM's and emails about how much Ride-On to use on the Spyder. The guys at Ride-On are getting the same calls and they have come up with a recommended amount for each tire of your Spyder for best results.

Your front wheels get 13 oz each
Your rear wheel gets 18 oz
You want to order the automotive treatment.
You'll need a total of 44 oz for best results.

When ordering online or on the phone your 10% discount code is "Lamonster"

This is one of the products that I really believe in. I've been running this in my Spyder for over 40,000 miles now and use it not only for flat protection but I don't run any wheel weights on my Spyder and have had great results. My ride is smooth and my tires wear evenly.

13/18 might be a little high...I think some have had some issues with 'this much' in their tires.

I went with 12/16 and all is good. I be thinkin' that if you add too much, it will throw the balance off and the wheel weights will have to come off (well, the weights will really be throwing the balance off).

However, if you add a tad less, you get the positive effects from the Ride-on yet don't have to take off the weights.

After adding several hundred miles after the addition of the Ride-on, I have decided to leave the wheel weights on. George Burns of Ride-on also advised to NOT remove them unless you really felt the need. I think with too much Ride-on that the 'need' will be greater to remove the weights...

couple of pictures of Ride-on still in the tire after being run in a Kumho Exsta AST for around 12,000 miles. Looks almost the same at when it was put in.

Lamonster, which ride-on product should we use for our trailer?

Lamonster, which ride-on product should we use for our trailer?

Car tyre formula. A little less than fronts on Spyder. Slightly smaller tyres. 11 oz I'm thinking.

I pulled this from an old post in 2010. Anyone know if they still honor this discount?

[Gray Ghost]

They did last time I purchased some, don't remember exactly how long ago that was.

FYI, while they say that the auto formula will work on spyders, they strongly recommend using the motorcycle formula now.

Color me confused...

Trikes are very unique and we get asked what formula is best?
Trikes and Can Am Spyders are a unique application - a hybrid between motorcycles and cars. We get lots of calls and e-mails from Spyder and other trike owners asking us what formula they should use. If we were installing it in our own trikes or Can Am Spyders, we would use the Motorcycle Formula.However, we understand why some of our customers would rather use the Auto Formula because they get twice the product for the same price. The Auto Formula should NOT BE USED in traditional motorcycle applications. The Motorcycle Formula is designed for fast accelerating, cornering motorcycles that lean when they turn. The Motorcycle formula is designed to balance and react to a puncture quicker than the Auto Formula. Also, becasue of the rounded (curved) tread area of motorcycle tires, they benefit from the viscosity and flow characteristics of the motorcycle Formula. We do understand that many trikes and Can Am Spyders use automobile tires which are very flat in profile and don't need to lean when they turn. Because of this, trike and Can Am owners can effectively use the Auto Formula. However, the overall sealing performance of the Motorcycle Formula will still be better in these applications.
