• 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.

    Anyone else experiencing Braking instability? What possible causes?

    When I purchased my ‘21 RTL (build date February 2021) the tech told me to hard stop several times coming to a stop light. Told me if it obviously pulled hard right or left to bring it in immediately. He told me bad rotors had been an issue on a hit or miss basis.. some of the new bikes have...

    I don't like my driver's backrest - any better options?

    Utopia has been on several of my bikes. Tried a Show Chrome, did not like it, the pad was way too small. I copied BlueKnight911’s idea of putting a slanted wedge in there. I used a rubber door stop to give me more of a custom lower support. Excellent idea, it works great.

    Anyone tried Ride On tire sealant on their Ryker?

    Honda Gold Wing trike..YES. Ryker..no. I too read on their website to run motorcycle formula in the auto tires the trike had. Really liked the way the tires ran smooth as silk.. no balancing extras applied.. tracked straight down the road .. trike friends were gaga when I would turn loose of...

    Relive Spders in the Hills Experience (kinda)

    Glad you had a great weekend here in the Texas Hill Country. It seems that there is often an accident with the larger group rides here in the hills. That is one reason we tend to stay away from the big group rides.. among other reasons such as, extended time waits at gas stops and restaurants...

    Scam using scare tactic

Yeah right, *******… I have tried to block the phone number they came in on … my...

    How hot do your legs get on an RT

    '21 RTL here - nope - don't notice any Texas heat on my legs - except for the sun bearing straight down on the top of the legs between the knee and groin - but only if sitting still for a long time in the sun, no shade ... like yesterday - while waiting on a friend to get through yakking with...

    Should we purchase this Extended Warranty for 2022 RT?

    My dealer initially told me $1200 for the BEST warranty.. when I clearly balked he was able to discount it down to $900…. Will let you know guy.. :sour: …. buying the Imotorsports $671 deal this month. Spyder purchase date was February 2021.

    Hoping for good weather for your trip. I am sure we will be out and about somewhere around the area. We ride all the little back roads a lot rather than the mainstream highways that get you from point a to b. We have those roads mostly to ourselves as the general 2 and 3 wheeler visitors are...

    Fitted Heated Comfort Seat '22 RT Ltd - now no heated pass. hand grips! Why?

    Interesting. Was going to make a comparison but realized your seat had passenger arm rests.. mine does not.. MY RTL heated seat and grips, as came from the factory, has passenger controls.. Could not delete this post space so amended the thought. Let us know what you find out.

    Is the Badging on RT Base different to RT Limited?

    Yes... just found the word Limited on the seat. My Utopia back rest was laying forward and hiding it. GEESH!

    Traction Control System - How DOES It Function?

    I have fish-tailed a number of times with my 2021 RTL.. in ECO mode ... on dry, slick concrete from a stop and on worn smooth bumps on extreme switchbacks... never felt anything that seemed to be taking control from me.. just immediately got off the throttle and counter-steered. I still have...

    Is the Badging on RT Base different to RT Limited?

    Wish you hadn't made me look... My 2021 RT Ltd has the badge Spyder RT on the lower part of each saddlebag. Looked again - I DID find a very little badge that simply says Limited way down low on the front.

    Is this Service Contract worth it? Any advice?

    Just curious... ... is the maintenance contract transferrable to a new owner of the bike? ... what happens if this dealer goes out of business? ... would you just totally lose the contract?

    Can-Am didn't get the memo I guess - 2023 Electric Motorcycles release....

    Just curious.. so, if it comes to pass that there will no longer be fossil fuel driven vehicles and machines, what happens to all of them? Will the government buy them from us to be recycled for whatever they can use from them or will they just rust/deteriorate in backyards and junk yards? If...

    First ride today

    Lower the front tire pressures to 18 cold. To me the owners manual recommendation of 20 in the front makes for squirrely and bouncy handling. As already stated, keep the front tire pressures with no more than 1/2 psi between the two. I find the rear tire owners manual recommended cold pressure...

    2022 Spyder RTL with uneven heat in front grips - ideas why?

    My ‘21 RTL is the same way… the given explanation is very logical and one would think this would be an inherent factor in all heated grips. Sometimes the one grip would get so hot that I had to turn them off. However, I do wonder why my Gold Wing 1800 had equal heat in the grips. No matter…...
