Here is a list of what I am currently carrying specifically for the Spyder & Ryker
Notice! We now have the BajaRon Ultra-Bar (Sway Bar Kit)
Short Story. You can have a Too Stiff sway bar. I call the Sway Bar a Goldilocks product. It can be too week, and it can be too strong. What you are looking for is 'Just Right'. But Just Right has a lot of variables. A bar that works great for the light, single ryder, penalizes the heavy, aggressive, 2-Up ryders, or those pulling a trailer (or a combination of these ryding styles) We finally found a way to make our Sway Bar safe for the light, single rider. While giving the others a bar that handles their ryding style much better than the Original bar.
This NEW, Ultra-Bar Kit is a 3-Piece design. Replacing the spring steel arms in the Original BajaRon Bar Kit with rigid billet aluminum arms. This eliminates energy absorbing flex in the system, (under heavier loading) making this new design more efficient. It is not a stiffer bar, so you retain the nice ryde that you like. It simply enables all the force being transferred from the heavy wheel to reach the light wheel under higher stress loads encountered when ryding 2-Up, etc. Those ryders exerting more side force (lean) will get better control and stability with the Ultra-Bar than is possible with the Original BajaRon Bar. Many who fit this higher stress category have switched from the Original Bar to the Ultra-Bar and love the improvement.
We still carry the Original BajaRon Bar Kit for All Spyders. Both bar kits will work for all ryding styles.
If you are rider under 200 lbs., NOT heavily loaded and ARE a conservative rider. The Original Bar will serve you well. This ryding style can safely run the Ultra-Bar, but you may not stress it enough to notice an improvement over the Original BajaRon Bar.
The Ultra-Bar is also ideal for light, single ryders who occasionally like to run 2-Up and would appreciate added control.
The Ultra-Bar will fit ALL Spyder models from 2013 on. (RS-RSS-ST-F3-RT)
We do not make an Ultra-Bar for the 2008-2012 models, at this time.
The BajaRon Ultra-Bar Kit is $335.00 Delivered
The BajaRon Original Bar Kit is $298.00 Delivered

The Ryker Sway Bar Kit is quite a bit different than any other Sway Bar (factory or custom) made for any Spyder or Ryker to date. My Ryker Custom Performance Sway Bar incorporates a 3 piece design as opposed to the 1 piece bar currently used on all Spyder and Ryker models. The 3 piece sway bar is a proven design used on many high performance vehicles. It is a more labor intensive and expensive approach. But in the case of the Ryker. The advantages are many.
In a 3 piece sway bar, the torsion portion is straight. No bent arms. Because the arms are Billet Aluminum and not spring steel, it adds rigidity to the assembly enabling the use of a relatively smaller diameter bar to give performance of a larger diameter bar. My sway bar is slightly larger than the diameter of the Factory BRP Upgrade Bar. And of a higher grade spring steel. Coupled with the stiffer Billet Aluminum Arms, we were able to achieve a much better result without making a much larger bar. This also helps make installation easier. Eliminating the bent arms was the key to easy installation. Chromoly and Billet Aluminum Heim Joint End Links complete the kit. (See Pictures).
Unlike the Spyder models, installing the Factory BRP upgrade sway bar for the Ryker is a real BEAR! Just ask anyone who has attempted it. BRP either specifically, or accidentally, engineered the bar swap on the Ryker to be a Do It Yourselfers' Nightmare! We found it to be well beyond the tool set, skill level and patience of most people (including ourselves). Definitely not a job for the faint of heart.
So we set out to produce a sway bar which would not only out perform the Factory BRP Upgrade sway bar kit for the Ryker. But a better looking and much easier to install product. Since the sway bar is very visible on the Ryker, it was important to us that it not only perform well, but also Look Great! And, I am very happy to say, I believe we succeeded on all 3 counts! Those who have changed out their Factory BRP Upgrade sway bar for the BajaRon bar kit have reported not only a significant improvement in handling, but a much easier install process as well.
My Custom Sway Bar Kits reduce lean and dive, will greatly improve handling, steering control and increase tire traction. Though aggressive riders will get the most benefit from installing a BajaRon Sway Bar Kit. Conservative riders will also experience less lean and dive as well as a good deal of improvement in handling and control. Especially if you are riding 2-Up. You will get increased stability in all conditions, especially when riding 2-up, and in crosswinds or when passing large trucks at freeway speeds. The difference is impressive!
Everything that you need is included in this kit. Only standard tools are required for the install. Complete, step-by-step instructions are provided. I can email you instructions for your particular install if requested. Many have done this install themselves and saved installation costs. It takes the average person between 1.5 & 2 hours to complete. To have this done professionally will usually cost 1.0 to 1.5 hours at the shop labor rate.
Installing the BajaRon Custom Sway Bar Kit will not affect your warranty. Some dealerships install my Sway Bar Kit on show room models. They say the improved handling seems to help them sell the Spyder.

Lifetime Replacement Warranty - Limited to replacement of worn or defective part. Damage caused by accident, etc., and labor not covered.
* Does your 2013 thru 2023 Spyder tend to bottom out?
* Do you scrape the front of your Spyder on steep driveway approaches, speed bumps, etc.?
* Do you get a lot of front end dive on hard braking or turning?
* Does your Spyder sit too low in the front when heavily loaded?
Many of the 2013 thru 2023 Spyder models come with no way to adjust the Front Shock Spring Pre-Load as was possible with the earlier 2008-2012 models. That means you get the same amount of spring lift for 1 small rider with no luggage as you do for 2 heavy riders, all the luggage you can carry, and possibly pulling a trailer. Frankly, this 'One Setting Fits All Conditions' can be a bit frustrating as you have no ability to bring the front of your Spyder back up to the correct ride height when loaded.
My Front Coil Spring Adjusters allow you to quickly and easily adjust the amount of pre-load and ride height of your Spyder for any condition. This not only helps to control lean and dive. but brings your Spyder back to the proper ride height giving you more ground clearance. This helps avoid those nasty, jarring and sometimes damaging ground strikes on the front of your Spyder.
Maintaining proper ride height also helps to maintain proper front end alignment. When the front of your Spyder sags with added weight, it changes the front end alignment too. This can cause wandering, harder and less precise steering, lower fuel mileage, and accelerated tire wear. This same condition can be created in the reverse. If you stiffen your front springs with non-adjustable spacers, you will not be able to reduce the spring tension when unloaded. This can raise the front of your Spyder above the normal ride height when lightly loaded, give you a harsher ride, and may create an 'Out of Alignment' condition.
These Billet Aluminum kits are easy to adjust, simple to operate, and look great! These adjusters are designed to increase spring tension only when needed. So you do not need to trade improved ride height for a harsh ride because you can adjust the spring stiffness to your preference in all situations.
The kit comes with everything you need to do the install. There is only 1 special tool needed which is a Spring Compressor tool set. I looked far and wide and was not able to find a suitable tool at a reasonable price for this application. The tools that fit between the spring coils were way too weak for the job. And the tools I found which were stout enough would not fit between the spring coils. So, I fabricated my own Spring Compressor Tool. I charge $45.00 for this tool. But this cost is fully refundable upon the return of the tool. I have even had dealerships purchase this tool from me because the Spring Compressor Tools they had did not work for this application. The tool is ugly, but it works great!
Though it does make the install easier if you take off Tupperware, these adjusters can be installed without removing anything other than the shocks themselves. The supplied instructions are for doing this install without removing any Tupperware (plastic panels, etc.)
Adjusters come in Red, Silver or Black - Your Choice (Black not pictured)

Spark Plug Wires are the heartbeat of your engine. They can't do it all on their own, of course. The other components (Coils/Spark Plugs) need to be in good condition as well. But if you can transfer more energy from the coil to the spark plug, you are well on your way to a fine running engine. Both the MSD and Accel wire sets I carry use the same Low Resistance, Solid Wire, Spiral Wound technology. Stock wires use a less expensive and much less efficient, High Resistance, Powdered Carbon Core wire. These deliver less energy to the Spark Plug when new and deteriorate quickly from there. When you Spyder starts running badly it us more likely the OEM wire set breaking down than worn out Spark Plugs.
Not only are my Custom Wire Sets more efficient. They also create less RF (Radio Frequency) and EFI (Electro-magnetic Interference) than the stock wires. This means less interference/static with our electronic gear (radios, computers, etc.)
My Custom Wire Sets will last at least twice as long as the OEM Stock Wire Sets.

A lot of nifty looking spark plugs have come out over the years. Some with multiple electrodes, some with no electrode at all (Surface Gap), etc. They always get rave reviews. But you have to be careful. There are people paid to leave positive reviews to drive sales. Most of these novel looking spark plugs were developed to address a particular issue like fouling, lean fuel mix, etc. Issues which a well running engine will not encounter. Tests have shown that multiple electrodes can actually hinder flame propagation (flame expansion into the cylinder) which hinders performance. And a surface gap plug cannot be adjusted if the gap is not correct for your application.
These NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs have proven themselves on Chassis Dino's. That is why I use and recommend them. They out perform everything else I have researched.
NOTE: It is not a good idea to replace just the spark plugs if you have the OEM, BRP wire set. The BRP OEM ignition wires are of very poor quality. Not only are they designed with very high resistance, they tend to break down quickly with heat and vibration. Manipulating these stock ignition wires while changing the spark plugs causes additional damage to them. If you do not replace these ignition wires, it is quite likely that your Spyder will run worse after a spark plug change than it did before the service was performed. This is not true if you have my Custom Ignition Wire set installed, as manipulating these MSD or Accel wire sets will not damage them.
Spark Plug Replacement Kit for the 1330 Rotax Motor $27.95 Delivered - Includes Thermal Paste and Dielectric Grease Packets - (Will Ship Worldwide - Contact me for International Shipping Quote) Spark Plug 1330.jpg
I have been getting a lot of inquiries about spark plug wires and spark plugs for the 1330 Rotax engine. I hope the following information is helpful.
Spark Plug Wires for the 1330 - There are none. You will never need to purchase or replace spark plug wires on your 1330 Rotax Engine. Instead, Coil-Over or Coil-On coil packs are used. One for each spark plug. These are powered by standard 12v wires. Example pictured below.
Spark Plugs for the 1330
Ever since BRP came out with the Excellent 1330cc Rotax engine for the Spyder in 2014, I have been looking for an NGK Iridium IX spark plug equivalent to the OEM supplied NGK Laser Welded spark plug. While the Laser Welded OEM spark plug is certainly a fine product, and much superior to the copper electrode that BRP used initially. NGK's Iridium IX Spark Plugs are a step above so I've wanted to offer them to my 1330 ACE motor customers. I have found them! Finally, I am able to offer the correct KGK Iridium IX Spark Plug for the 1330 Rotax engine used in all RT models from 2014 to date, and all F3 models. And, because my supplier carries this IX Spark Plug, I am able to offer a superior spark plug for less than the OEM Laser Welded version (which my supplier did not carry)
Why use Thermal Paste and Dielectric Grease?
Thermal paste helps in the transfer of heat from the spark plug to the cylinder head, which acts as a heat sink. This process is critical to maintain the correct temperature within the spark plug. If the spark plug gets too hot it can ignite the fuel/air mixture prematurely, (before the spark arrives) and cause pre-ignition or 'Knock' which is very detrimental to the engine. Because this condition is so harmful, engine manufacturer's (including BRP, Can-Am) program the on-board computer to prevent this from occurring. When the computer senses a pre-ignition or knock condition, it automatically retards or delays spark timing. This acts to cool the cylinder and spark plug, avoiding damage. While this is a great way to prevent harm to your engine. It reduces engine power, performance, throttle response, and fuel mileage. Applying a very thin layer of Thermal Paste to the spark plug threads can go a long way towards preventing unwanted heat buildup. Keeping your spark plug in the preferred heat range so that your computer will never need to compensate by retarding the ignition timing.
Dielectric Grease is used on the inside of the Spark Plug Boot. It helps the boot to slide easily onto the spark plug, and seals the boot/sparkplug interface preventing moisture and contaminates from entering. If moisture is allowed into the boot, it can corrode the wire to sparkplug terminal connection and create problems. The dielectric grease will also keep the boots from sticking or 'Welding' to the porcelain portion of the spark plug due to continued high temperatures. This makes it very easy to slide the boot off next time without damaging the ignition wire or boot itself. It also helps to keep the boot from drying out, cracking or splitting open. You can use as much dielectric grease as you like. It will not hurt if you get some on the thermal connections.
This 1330cc Spark Plug Service Kit includes;
3- NGK CR7EIX Iridium IX Spark Plugs
1- Thermal Paste Packet

Anti-Seize vs Thermal Paste
In days gone by, when manufactures first came out with aluminum heads, many experienced problems with the dissimilar metals welding to each other, (steel spark plug and aluminum head). Big problem. Sometimes the threads in the head came out with the spark plug. The use of Anti-Seize became universal and solved this problem. Though unnecessary with today's spark plugs, this practice has been passed down through the ages and is still used by many.
However, things have changed. Spark plug makers came up with a metal treatment which prevents the welding of dissimilar metal threads altogether. So Anti-Seize is no longer needed. But because engineers are always finding ways to get more horse power from ever smaller engines, it is more important than ever for each component to perform as efficiently as possible. This means closer tolerances and narrower functional parameters. Enter the Spark Plug and Lean Fuel Mixtures. For Spark Plugs to work as efficiently as required these days, they need to maintain a certain temperature. A bit like Goldilocks. Not to hot, and not too cold. Too cold and they foul, too hot and they ignite the fuel charge too early. So, it is more important than ever to keep the spark plug within a certain design heat range. From idle, where little heat is generated, to wide open throttle, where a great deal of heat is generated.
Anti-Seize, while providing an excellent, though no longer needed barrier between spark plug and engine head, acts as an insulator, isolating the spark plug from the head (thermally), reducing the amount of heat the spark plug is able to shed to the head. The spark plug can then get too hot, causing pre-ignition / knock issues and early failure of the spark plug itself or worse. Though you need not worry about damage because, as mentioned above, your computer has ways to prevent the problem by reducing engine power.
Thermal paste on the spark plug threads increases heat transfer, allowing the cylinder head to act as a heat sink, wicking away excess heat from the spark plug. This allows the spark plug to maintain correct heat range. So, regardless of where or what kind of spark plug you purchase, I highly recommend applying a thin layer of thermal paste (Not Anti-Seize) to the threads.
Here is a heat transfer graphic of how a spark plug sheds excess heat. As you can see, nearly 60% of the excess heat dissipates to the head through the threaded portion of the spark plug. Thermal paste enhances this. Using Anti-Seize on the spark plug threads will greatly reduce the amount of heat transfer.

* All 2013-2016 SE5 Spyders utilize the Extended Transmission Filter, so there is no question which transmission filter these Spyders need. However, for those of you owning a 2008-2012 SE5 Spyder, it is important to determine which of 2 possible transmission filters you need before you order. Most of the 2008-2012 SE5 Spyders have now been converted to the Extended Transmission filter. But it is possible that your Spyder still has the original sized transmission filter. There is no functional advantage to the extended transmission filter. So if you find that you have this original size filter, I recommend staying with it. If you would like more information regarding the advantages of the original sized filter, please emails me at fyredad@hotmail.com
Determining which Transmission filter you have on your 2008-2012 SE5 Spyder.
First, measure the length of the transmission filter cap from where it mates to the case to the end.
If this cap is 7/8" long, you have the Original Length Filter
If this cap is 1-3/8" long, then you have the Extended Transmission Filter.
I can supply ANY Amsoil product in ANY amount. Because I sell at my actual dealer cost, I need will need your zip code to give an accurate price quote. You can PM me here at Spyderlovers or email me at fyredad@hotmail.com
Canadian Customers can also order!
I also ship Amsoil to customers in Canada - For Canadian customers, Amsoil Products ship from warehouses located in Edmonton, AB and Toronto, ON so there are no import fees.
Amsoil is a True, Full Synthetic Motor Oil. I have carried Amsoil products for some time. It is the oil I use in my Spyder. I've had it scientifically lab tested and I am very pleased with the superior service it provides. I also like the extended change interval which means I do not have to service my Spyder when traveling on long trips. I do not recommend extending oil service intervals beyond the 9,300 mile requirement for the 1330cc ACE models.

Back Story (for anyone interested in such things).
I started out in San Diego, CA. Grew up, lived and worked there most of my life. In the early 70's my brother came back from overseas (Army) with the dream of buying a VW Bus and converting it to a surfer van. And that is what he did. One day I stumbled upon a blank plaster of Paris VW Surfer Bus. I decided to get it and paint it up for his birthday. This is where I got the picture featured on the back of the T-Shirt.
Over the years I spent more and more time in Baja California (Mexico) fishing Puertecitos, LA Bay, Mulege, Loreto, etc. So much so that guys at work started calling me BajaRon.
When I retired from the Fire Department, I started selling Motorcycle Gear as a sideline hobby. I've always loved both street and off road motorcycling, it seemed a natural transition. I decided to use the 'BajaRon' name given to me for the business name. Shortly after retiring I moved the family to East Tennessee.
In July of 2007, Lamont and I both purchased (pre-buy) a Can-Am Spyder. Being a new product there were absolutely no aftermarket items for it. As we put miles on our Spyders we found some aspects that we thought could use some improvement. Both Lamont and I started making these improvements and the word got out. This unexpectedly turned into a business for me.
As my products began to get better known, I got a lot of puzzled questions wanting to know how BajaRon and East Tennessee made any sense at all? Especially for those who know me here in East Tennessee. So, I decided to make a BajaRon's, East Tennessee Surf Shop T-Shirt as a bit of a gag for the owners and employees of a local BBQ place I frequent. I remembered that plaster of Paris Surfer Bus I'd painted up for my brother over 40 years before. I called him up to see if it was still around (he still lives in CA). He said; 'Absolutely! I have it sitting on top of my bedroom dresser! (I'll bet his wife just loves to see that every day!) He said; 'I'll send you some pictures.' And there you have it.
I have been amazed at how people seem to love this T-Shirt. People say they get asked about this shirt nearly every time they wear it, regardless of what state they live in. I got so many requests that I decided to make a larger order. And those went quickly as well. Now I am offering this One-Of-A-Kind T-Shirt to you. You won't find them anywhere else. It is likely that you will be the only one you know that owns one of these T-Shirts.
I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as I have enjoyed having them made.
If you have any questions, let me know. Thank you and Have a Great Day!

Reason: Updated Pricing
1- What is a 'Seal Kit'?
Seal Kits vary depending on applications. Picture below is of the SM6/SE6 seal kit for the 1330 ACE motor in the 2014-2020 RT and all F3 models and years. This is just an example and may not be what you will need. The seal kit consists of all necessary O-Rings and drain plug washers needed for an Engine/(Transmission where required) Oil Change. O-Rings are high quality made in Germany. Washers (copper or aluminum as necessary) are made in the USA. SealKitSE6xSMa1.jpg
2- Do you offer filters without a Seal Kit?
Yes, I will sell just the filter kit or just the seal kit separately if you request it. Whether or not you decide to purchase a seal kit with filter(s), I still highly recommend you have a spare Seal Kit handy anytime you change your oil so you can replace any component you may find damaged and you will not be left stranded, mid service waiting on parts.
3-Why do you offer combinations with a Transmission Filter for each Oil Change?
Originally the BRP manual called for the Transmission Filter to be changed every other Oil Change. This has been changed. BRP now recommends the Transmission Filter be changed with every oil change (SE5 Spyder Models Only).
I've already got some great SpyderLover customers and I want them to know I really appreciate their business. Some of the best people in the world are right here on this forum.
1- What is a 'Seal Kit'?
The seal kit consists of 1 O-Ring & 2 Copper Washers for the Engine Oil Change. The O-Ring is made in Germany and the Copper Washers are made in the USA.
1- Why do some of your combinations not supply a Seal Kit for each Engine Filter?
The manual calls for all seals to be changed with every oil change. However, this is not necessary. I went 17,000 miles and several oil changes on the original seals. And I could have gotten several more changes from them.
I do not recommend that you do this but it makes the point that changing the seals with every oil change is unnecessary. So to reduce cost I offer some combinations with a Seal Kit for every other oil change which I feel is more than adequate.
If you would like more Seal Kits than offered in the Combos above just let me know. I will put together whatever combination you like.
I do highly recommend you have a spare Seal Kit handy anytime you change your oil so you can replace any component you may find damaged.
3-Why do you offer combinations with a Transmission Filter for each Oil Change?
The manual calls for the Transmission Filter to be changed every other Oil Change on the Electric Shift Spyders. I do not have an SE Spyder but if I did I would change the Trans. Filter with every oil change. There are several ounces of oil trapped behind the Transmission Filter. This old oil will mix with the brand new, high dollar, super slick stuff you just put in.
Granted, the Trans Filter probably does not need to be changed. But if you pull the Transmission Filter to drain that dirty oil, why not put a new one back in?
If you would like fewer Transmission Filters than offered in the Combos above just let me know. I will put together whatever combination you like.
Thanks for the explanation of your pricing structure. I think you may find many of us really prefer to go 'by the book' and just swap all the seals at every oil change. To me the additional couple bucks for new seals is worth the peace of mind. No keeping track of when you last changed them when you just do it every time.
So I personally would like to see an option for 2 filters/2 seals and 4 filters/4 seals......
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

If your theory is correct, I'm not sure I can handle all the care he pours on me!
But what goes around, comes around. Ask him about my first avatar!
Oh yeah, your directions to the gas station from Lamont's were dead on. We arrived there on fumes, but at least we didn't have to push any of the Spyders.

I've wondered about that and was afraid to ask!
I know how directions can be in a strange area. You think you know what they said but when you're running on fumes things seem to get more serious.
, your joining up with a great bunch of people. I held my breath and took the leap in August. It was a great decision.

The Spyder is a great machine. It has gotten some bad press, some deserved, some not so much.
I've had mine since January 2008. A few bugs but I've got over 20k on it now and it's been the best ride I've ever owned. And I've had some great ones.
