• 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.

    Retired this past Friday.

    I retired 18+ years ago and still working hard at being retired. Had the Kawasaki KRX 1000 out for a small group ride today(4 rigs) and tomorrow will be a trike ride.

    Finally installed my Frunk secondary release!

    This has most likely be covered a few times. Today I got around to setting up a backup way to open the frunk on second 2018 AKA Hookie! I had the stuff laying on the work bench for a while. I remove the two access panels (left and right) under the rear corners on the lid and then removed the...

    Where do you store your Cell phone??

    Sometimes in the phone mount and sometimes in my belt phone pouch. When I am navigating with google maps, it is on the handlebar. Sometimes the Arizona heat will over-heat the phone. Phone gets USB power when in the mount via a USB cable for the outlet in the top case. Both of my 2018 Spyders...

    Lucky the Kenda's suck...

    When I bought my second 2018 in January this year, the Chandler dealer had worked on the Spyder a front wheels several times for the original owner. I had the same issue with lugs over tightened.

    First long ride coming, 2015 RTS - any advice?

    Go ride in big city freeway traffic and be comfortable there, as you will most likely pass through some city with rush hour and other heavy traffic. I made an 1850-mile ride from Az to Wa via Northern California last May. I did a few 300ish days before making the trip as practice. As stated...

    Why do I have a flashing brake light on the dash?

    I had trouble this morning with my Grey AZ 2018 giving a flashing brake light. Brake fluid was a little low, but I think the issue was that the expanible diaphragm was the real issue. As it was fully extended, maybe going down it the camber(s) far enough to hold down the sensor flot.

    New Vredestein Tires wearing on the inside - what pressure/what fix? Alignment issue?

    Who ever did the alignment screwed up the job. That is a toe in issue, as it is toed out. Take it back to the person/shop that did the work and show them the result of their work. The 2018 service manual calls for 0 degrees toe in plus/minus 0.2 degrees. Maybe the tech that worked on it was...

    White RT in an Accident with a Bear - Cavendish Vt. Sun 9/29/2024

    Hitting a German Shepherd did over 5k of damage to one of mine. Plastic parts are expensive and having to color match them to champagne added to the cost.

    So, how fast can a spyder go and safely make a sharp right turn at an intersection?

    I last rode a street bike in the mid 1980's (KZ 650 SR) and in fall of 2020 I bought my first 2018 RTL. Learning to ride it occurred fairly quickly for me, as I rode snowmobiles for 16 years in the meantime. The Spyder in hard cornering is very similar to riding snowmobile. Shift your butt to...

    Passed my Washington State 3 wheel license test

    I took the two-day AZ Can Am sponsored course and Washington would not accept it, so I took the two-day course again in Washington. You are graded and tested in the class and then go to the DMV to get the endorsement. They pretty much assure you that you will pass. I then switched my resident...

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    I have peripheral neuropathy in both feet, so holding up a large two-wheeler is out of the question. So I now have two 2018 Spyder RTL's, one in Washington purchased in October 2020 (which I rode up from Arizona in May) and one in Arizona, purchased in January 2024. The bucket list ride from...
