• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Ride over Hoover Dam on 1/4/14

    Thanks all. When you see that bridge, or look up info on it, it was quite an engineering feat to be able to pull it off.

    Ride through Valley Of Fire - Nevada

    Right on LVSpyder! You guys will love it. The main reason we got ours is when I had my Suzuki Hayabusa, we were always having to find a babysitter for our 8 year old daughter. Now, we can take her with us anywhere we go and she has a ball too. If you bought yours from the Pro Shop on Lake...

    Ride through Valley Of Fire - Nevada

    Thanks akspyderman. Yes, I am using a Go Pro 3 Black edition filmed at 1080/30 frames per second. I have the helmet side mount and I don't even notice it's there. On the other side is a Chatterbox X1-Slim that the wife and I communicate on. Thank goodness the helmet is all carbon fiber...

    Ride through Valley Of Fire - Nevada

    Wife and I went out on our 2013 Spyder RSS's (SE5) through the Valley of Fire. I thought I would share the footage: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

    Removing baffle on Akrapovic exhaust for 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS

    Hi All, Went down to dealer today to talk about getting a second spyder for the wifey. While we were there, we started to discuss the Akrapovic exhaust. I told him I loved the looks of it, very clean, but the sound could be a little louder/deeper. He said he spoke with the Akrapovic dealer...

    Got my 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5!!!!

    Have you ridden a 2013 RSS yet? I wonder how the Elks compares to the newer suspension?

    Akrapovic exhaust for 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE-5 (VIDEO)

    I guess coming from a sportbike background, it is important to know what is going on with the front end at all times. Stiffer on the shocks and a little higher pressure seemed to be the sweet spot. Rear tire pressure I am still playing with.

    Akrapovic exhaust for 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE-5 (VIDEO)

    LOL! Yeah, easier to cover the license plate with a rag than trying to edit it out in the video afterwards.

    Got my 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5!!!!

    If I were to go to another seat, just based on what I have read in the forums, it would be to the "Comfort Seat". You may want to ask you local Spyder shop if they have a regularly scheduled ride that everyone participates in and see if someone else has one of these before you invest your money.

    Got my 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5!!!!

    Coming from a background of a Kawasaki ZX-11, Honda CBR900RR and just recently a Suzuki Hayabusa, the seat is extremely comfortable! My wife who had a tailbone injury a long time ago could not ride on the sportbikes for prolonged periods of time due to extreme pain. She is tickled pink with...

    Got my 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5!!!!

    Bob already replied to part of this. I am also 6'3" and weigh 225. I found the front end a tad mushy for me, which is why I asked them to go up 1 click on the front to make it more stiff. I almost always have my wife on the back. We recently took it for a ride out through the Valley of Fire...

    Got my 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5!!!!

    For anyone who recently got a 2013 RSS and the front end feels like it is swaying all over the place. Take it back to the dealer, get a front-end alignment. I had them do this, stiffen up the shocks by 1 click and I have the front tires inflated to 20 psi now. Just got back on a 2 hour ride...

    Got my 2013 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5!!!!

    Thanks! That cruise control works very well. Could have used it on the Busa as it vibrated my hands til they started to fall asleep. The Can Am however is amazingly smooth, fox racing suspension just soaks up even big bumps or irregularities in the road. On long trips when you need to use...
