Thanks Mike, I just assumed cause my other 5 bike run off the front wheel. Why shouldn't the Spider? It has the same factory tire on back. I was kinda going by a chart that was handy, showing these...

I just put 165/60/15 Continentals on the front of my 2015 Spider RT. I loosened the 4 fender bolts taking 3 of them out to lift the fender to put the wheel/tire on. They fit fine with good clearance...
You guys are killing me. I haven't been on bicycle in 60 yrs. And we used 30wt. used truck engine oil then. I used to ride 5 miles one way to the city swimming pool on a old 2 lane road. I havent...
I read somewhere about this stuff. But haven't used any per say. Just put some on my trailer wheels & hinges. Like the idea that Boeing Company made this stuff so has to be good.....right. :shocked:...
I cant say I love my Spider either. Only had for a few weeks & been ridding 2 wheels for 50+ yrs.
I wont sell my 2 wheelers yet. 69 BMW R69S, 92 BMW R100RT, 83 V65 Honda, 2018 Moto Guzzi, 2004...
That looks like a fun ride. I always liked ridding the Western half. Do you all campout or get a Motel like I always do? Just seems like I get a better rest.
Picked up my tires yesterday. He was talking shop to some people, so I just went over to the tire machine. Picked up my new tires putum in the truck. He came out of the shop with my unchanged wheels....
Thing is he has changed lots of tires for me. Never a problem, he just changes the tires & I get on with my life. I should have known when his web site says 11AM-7PM. And one of his bike mechanics...
You know, the little rubber things on the rim to put air in a tire. The guy I have used to change tires for several yrs. now. Said he wont normally change them with new or old tires. I said they are...
I would look for a automotive strut. One that holds up a hood or rear door. Should be strong enough. Found at a good auto parts store.
For now Ill just play it by ear. I have only put about 800 miles on my 2015. And dont due much over 70mph. If I need to go faster Ill get one of my (5) other 2 wheels out.
Im trying to find some information on why or do all the spiders have the belt roller system from factory? Do I need it, should I get a kit. What do it help with? I been looking for 30 min for...
I guess I dont understand. Is it really that hard to check the air pressure with a gauge once in a while? For those of us that have 6 motorcycles & 5 cars would go broke putting these on every...
I used to buy those batteries, but had to buy 2 after a year for 2 of my BMW bikes. Never tried the AGM batteries. So maybe Ill try one. Thats what it has know.
Thanks
Not sure how long the Spider batteries last but mine says Yuasas 03/2015. Thats the yr of the bike. Its had a battery tender on it most of its life Im thinkin. Anything I should know or look at...
Thanks Jay for the heads up. I was at Water World Boats couple days before picking up my Spider. They had a Can Am rep. there for test rides. But they only had demo rides at 1330 & 1530 hrs. I was...
We got up Wed morning (June 2).In Boise Id. My ridding buddy & I had met the couple selling the 2015 Spider RT. The nite before, the father had passed & they were selling for their mom. There was...
Well, sorry all, its a 2015. Maybe I should proofread what I write. But I should enjoy it anyway. DESS is that something I need or dont want? It may need tires. just by age alone. Car tires more...
Never owned a Spyder only sat on a few. But been riding bikes for 50+ yrs. I have lower back problem, L4, L5. So thought I would buy a Spyder SE6. Have to drive 500 miles to get it but nice country...
