• 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.

    general altimax rt43

    I used tire rack.com for some research, amazon for some reviews but mainly here is where I looked for advice especially too see who recommended what tire the most. The Altimax was the name brand I’ve found to be the highest recommended, of course as one had said before a smile would ensue...

    general altimax rt43

    I just put the Altimax RT43 tire on my 2012 RS Sm5, it has the sport fender on and it has so much room I could definitely go taller. The Altimax is so much smother than the Kenda, question would I use the set button to change my LCD display back to U.S. temp and get the digital speedo back it...

    2013 Spyder RS - ST Handlebar Swap

    2012 RS SM5 I know someone posted on this once, but they also said 2013-14 wasn’t probably interchangeable, but what about the 2013 RSS/ST to a 2012 RS sm5 handlebar swap? It would be nice to use the center bolts on the newer year bars for a gps mount etc, but also for the comfort.

    Spyder RT front tire size change

    Run flats on a 2012 RS Spyder The Altimax tires look fantastic I wonder if they would fit my 2012 Spyder RS with a good fit and not rub the fenders, but has anyone found and put on run flats for the front and rear tires? Any recommendations close to stock sizes?

    USB charging port question

    Thank you very much I appreciate it, I was trying to find it and tell the Can Am techs here at the shop I use where it was located they didn’t believe it was around or was even attached I’ll be looking to see if the original owner had it installed into the trunk.
