• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Got all the body panels removed in preparation for my Wilbers rear shock install. Scheduled to arrive on Friday :)

    F3 Base - Rear shock bottoms out (stationary) with my passenger onboard. I'm shock illiterate, what do I need in a shock?

    In reality, you need a shock built to your specs with a hydraulic preload adjuster. If you have a shock set to your 420# two up rating, you'll be pummeled when riding solo. With a hydraulic preload adjuster, you can dial the preload up/down on each ride. Pricey, yes but it's about the only shock...

    What Front Tire Pressure in an F3?

    Sadly, BlueKnight passed away a few months ago. Peter will be along soon to help you. But at your weight, I'd think no more than 17# in that rear Altimax.

    Just ordered a Wilbers 640 rear shock! :)

    Just received notification from EPM that my shock has arrived stateside and will be shipping out from EPM today. (3) weeks exactly. Time to start stripping down the RT S2S for install :)

    Don't trust USPS with your oil sample!

    I'll be curious to see what the shear levels are with the T6 5w40. Known to shear down quite a bit on shared sumps. ** Oop's. I see you run 15w40 **

    Vredestein fronts are a firmer, more controlled tire. No car tire will provide a softer ride than OEM Kenda/Kanine.

    Another tire thread…but different¿ New Kenda XPS Roadster Tires - more durable...

    I do have car tires on my RT S2S. That said, 165/60R15's slightly rub inside my fenders. And, yes, I have shimmed my fenders and installed lower profile screws. I threw enough $$ for 165/60R's where I'm sticking with 165/55R15's. I should be able to get a couple more years out of my Achilles...

    Just talked to my parts guy at the my local dealer re: the XPS tires. They will supersede the the OEM Kenda part number of the current OEM tire come mid/late April, when they will become available to purchase thru Can Am Spyder dealers only. Not sure how much better they will be, but we'll see...

    What Front Shocks Recommendations for a 2020+ RT?

    Just a heads up, EMP Performance will give a 10% First responder/military discount if you qualify. I got my 640 rear shock thru them for $705/shipped (not a HPA unit). Martin takes great care of his customers, but buying from a USA vendor will get you a (5) year warranty. BTW, Martin goes the...

    BajaRon Ultra swaybar and BajaRon front shocks coming in this afternoon - any suggestions for initial settings?

    Did JRI request any rider particulars, such as: Rider geared weight Percentage of riding with passenger Weight of passenger Percentage of riding with luggage One might think that JRI would set preload/rebound parameters based on rider input to at least get the shocks set up in a ball park setting.

    Daylight Saving Time - Make sure to adjust your Spyder clocks - Spring Ahead!

    Just checked my clock after being on a battery tender for 4 months. It's on the correct time :)

    Daylight Saving Time - Make sure to adjust your Spyder clocks - Spring Ahead!

    Being in your climate area, I always leave it as is. Pretty much done riding in early November (before falling back) and not again till late March (after springing ahead), if we're lucky :)
