Hi Bert. I'm in agreement on the lower Kelvin temperature rated lights... but they are hard to find as the marketing world has convinced the unknowing buyer that the high Kelvin temperature lights...

The new larger screen looks like a big improvement over the previous version. Now if they would just delete those stupid speakers flanking the screen, they could make the display even bigger so that...
Hi Dasmoetorhead.
There was a lot of good opions and information added in the posts above. Seems like a lot of Spyder riders have top shelf riding gear, some of which, is from their earlier days...
So where is the Loctite 603 or 609 applied? I am assuming it is on the threads of the bolt that secures the sprocket to the countershaft, with the subsequent torque to spec.
What goes on the...
I NEVER use nor do I ever intend to use the radio on my 2021RTL. To me it is a waste of money and dash space that could have either saved me the $$, or, been put to use on a better dash and display...
Hi Xwingnut,
Those Clearwater LEDs look nice and they are close to, if not at the top of the highest quality aftermarket driving lights available to the motorcycle world.
Can't say for the...
My 2021 RTL has the stock BRP belt tensioner as it was factory installed. It is still seemingly OK at 8500 miles...but I have a new Lamonster tensioner assembly on the shelf and will replace the...
I have trailered the older RS/GS as well as my 21 RTL on 78 inch wide x 10 ft long single axle trailer I mainly use for moving ZTR lawnmowers, etc. This trailer has a bed height of approximately 17...
What does one have to disconnect, electrically, when the time comes to eliminate the compressor and the auto ride height adjustment on a 2021 RTL? Mine is fine now...but it seems that many have...
If it is an expensive transponder key, I would be hesitant to have the local hardware store do the cut as the level of experience and knowledge varies greatly depending on who is on shift at a given...
Hi blacklightning. I have a 2021 RTL...and am happy with it and find it comfortable except in really hot and humid weather, where the wind protection is too good. Your comment on "3 locations to...
Hi Old Timer,
I totally understand what you are saying. I'm only "67", but with aches and pains and knees going south way faster than I would like, I do understand that the time to play is...
Hi Old Timer,
Beautiful R12GS!! Those are a really nice bike and the water cooled boxer motors are amazing with LOTS of smooth power in any gear at nearly any rpm. I have taken three different...
I completely agree with what Ron said above about visibility being so critical a motorcycle, or in this case, the Spyder. I noted this last summer seeing my son making an oncoming turn on my...
While not a Spyder rental in California, I was in Gatlinburg, TN several months ago on a family trip and saw at least three rental places that had multiple Polaris Slingshots, and also Side by Side...
Hi GS1,
Found your invoice and paid the bill/shipping for the belt tensioner.
Thanks
Rod
Thanks and got your PM. Internet dead now, probably for the next week so resorting to the phone.
Thanks for your help and PM the payment details.
Rod
Hi GS1,
I received your PM with shipping pricing for the belt tensioner for your previous RS. I will take the tensioner for $25 along with the shipping price you offered. I sent a PM last night...
Hi Pjveetwin and RayJB,
I sourced and installed a set of Barkbuster, single point, bar-end mounted "Storm" handguards on my 2009 Spyder GS about 5 years ago or so. Was an easy install and...
Five years ago, I put a Yokahama S-Drive on the rear of my 2009 Spyder RS/GS. No issues or problems, and it did wear more evenly than the stock Kenda rear tire, but still wore much faster in the...
Hi Ron,
You are welcome and, looking closer, I see your kit came with 2 wedges and 3 spacers to use with the wedges when removing the original arm, rather than the three that I mentioned in the...
Interesting thread and several good options to replace what appears to be "Not IF it breaks but WHEN it breaks" stock adjustable windscreen arm on the Spyder RTs.
I have a 2021 RTL with 8800 miles...
My son bought a 2009 Spyder GS about 6-7 years ago when he was living in Minnesota. He brought it down to my place in Kansas for the winter as he did not have a place to store it inside...and I did....
Those TricLED Afterburners look great to me and the 20+RT's can use more light on the rear to catch other drivers attention, especially in the rain or drizzle. I followed my 2021RTL as my son was...
After over a four month wait, I just received my new J&S Jack yesterday. It is well made, solid, and Made In USA...but it's not cheap, and the wait time was loooong. Note that I have a steel...
I just received the Lamonster Garage IPS Belt Tensioner Arm/Roller for the 2014-2022 F3 and RT Spyders yesterday. It has the machined aluminum arm with the sealed ball bearing pivot, a solid and...
Hi Rich,
Let us know which way you go for the windshield on your new F3S. Note that the used F3S Repo bike that I tested and bid on had a huge F4 Customs windscreen. It worked reasonably well,...
Hi Rich,
Congratulations and I think you made a great choice based on your initial thoughts. The F3S is quick and loads of fun. I would like to have one to compliment my 2021RTL for shorter,...
i installed the 22inch Madstad screen and adjustable brackets on my 2009 Spyder GS 3-4 years ago. This was BY FAR the best upgrade that I have made, and I have made quite a few on the 2009 GS. The...
Thanks for posting this information and the video link Wmoater! Excellent.
I was introduced first hand to the CanAm Spyders by my son's purchase of a 2009 GS 7 years ago. He wears a prosthetic...
