    Yes, I agree the F3 is designed to be a bit sportier but it isn't that much cheaper though, so I think it is still priced out of the range of younger riders. The price of a Ryker is much more...

    I suspect BRP chose 9300 miles because that is almost exactly 15,000 kilometers in Canadian money.

    Took my RT LTD for the first time this season, running through the tank of gas I stored it with over the winter. On the way home, two up here at 5,000 feet where we are probably down at least 10% on...

    I'd use the ratchet, but use a higher quality 1/4" Torx bit, not the cheap Harbor Freight ones.

    Need to be aware that North America uses the average of MON+RON ratings (also know as AKI = (MON+RON)/2). I think Australia like the EU uses just the RON rating (or E10 perhaps). 91 to 94 octane in...

    Available from Amazon for $97.97 for a Wednesday delivery, well here in Utah anyway.

    Might try them. They have fronts too.

    Ten or more years ago, I would have understood BRP's viewpoint. Stability control systems were a new fangled idea and manufacturers had little experience of how such systems behaved in the real world...

    With bad arthritis, which is why I bought the Spyder in the first place, getting down on the ground is for me the easiest way to connect the inflating device no matter which type I use. I do use a...

    There is a service bulletin recorded with the US Government Transport site for recalls, I forget its name. I hate being old.

    In that bulletin, it states the replacement cables should be made of...

    Now that's clever.

    BTW, I used the air compressor I quoted in the original thread to pump up an SUV tire to 40 psi and it worked fine. Took a few minutes but it worked OK, no problems. It was less...

    I tried the Harley. Frankly it scared the living daylights out of me, more so even than the Spyder RT LTD did. It took the BRP course and clocking up miles to get used the the Spyder. I'm not sure I...

    Perhaps the Spyder riders are new to the trike and still riding with the death grip most of us two wheelers started out with?

    Yes, mine was 2021 RT LTD and the 2021 S2S had more stuff like luggage and so forth. So I guess now you just get largely cosmetic items for the price difference? If I was looking at a 2023 or 2024...

    Looking at the Honda Goldwing, and even the reverse trike models based on it from third parties, I then compare them to Can Am Rykers and Spyders. There is a big difference in configuration.

    The earlier 2021 and 2022 Sea-to-Sky models had lots of extras for the money, luggage bags etc. This made it probably worth the extra money and I probably should have got one rather than the RT LTD I...

    Never worried about flat spots, Can Am or motorcycles. Used Sta-Bil most years, unless I forget. Always on a battery tender anyway. Give it a wipe down to get the dust off. I've never had a problem...

    All the pig tails sets I've had, all have an inline fuse.

    You might just want to check to see if it is present and not blown, or corroded.

    I did have a fuse pop once a few years ago and never...

    If it’s C210A it usually means it can’t set the ride height properly.

    Under the rear seat is a schrader valve. Measure the pressure, it should be at least 30 psi if you’ve been riding one up....

    I wonder how the dealers check the oil level after an oil change? I can't imagine they go and ride for x-minutes and then let it idle for y-minutes?

    Perhaps they just idle for a few minutes to...

    Front tire is a 195?

    Doesn't that kind of mess with the scrub angle and make the steering a little heavy?

    Just curious how it changes the feel?

    Most techs these days are used to removing and storing Tupperware properly, every motorcycle or 4x4 they have probably ever worked on has expensive plastics.

    My old Hondas (400/4 F2) and other motorcycles of that vintage had wasted spark, firing every 360 degrees.

    I image sparking in the exhaust stroke helps clean up the emissions a little bit helping...

    You can measure the wheel offset by taking the wheel off and measuring the wheel width and divide by two. Then measure the distance from the inside rim to the plate surface. Subtract that from the...

    Mine ended up needing all the valves pipework, compressor, It might be warm enough in Kentucky to do that. Mine was stuck from Thanksgiving until Easter waiting for parts through Covid to finally fix...

    It happened to my 2021 RT LTD.

    Mine ended up with a series of problems. In the end they changed the whole rear suspension components as a set. It used to throw C210A codes too.

    After they...

    From what I can remember the Ethanol has about 30% less energy than gasoline. So for 10% Ethanol you are going to lose about 30% of the energy for that 10%. So for a gallon of gas you are going to...

    I don't think any of the Spyders or Rykers are equipped with the radar systems needed for either adaptive cruise or autonomous braking, mine certainly doesn't and it wasn't an option. Neither do they...
