• 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.

    Traded my 2019 Ryker Rally for a New Canyon Standard - First Impressions

    It is the SHAD part in your first photograph that is too wide. Only one of the lateral hooks (the front one) on the bottom part of the bag (as shown in the schematic) is used on the Canyon mount. The rear hook is likely used on the SHAD 4-point mount that would be aftermarket installed on...

    Why is there a removable Rear fender tip on the Canyons?

    Alright Canyoneers, there appears to be a removable tip on the bottom of the rear fender. Why?

    Traded my 2019 Ryker Rally for a New Canyon Standard - First Impressions

    You got that right. The right and left Shad bags came from different vendors; one shipped by UPS and the other shipped by FedEx. I actually had the return process with Amazon initiated before the second bag arrived. Plan B initiated. Thanks Deanna, I have that little tank bag on order with my...

    Traded my 2019 Ryker Rally for a New Canyon Standard - First Impressions

    Well, it seemed like a good idea. I ordered a set of the 47L Shad Terra cases from Amazon. They came in today. However, they will not work with the Canyon. The mounting hook on the generic Shad Terra's is 6" wide. The bar between the upright pieces on the Canyon mount is only 4.75", so the...

    Desperately seeking a way to save and keep my 2014 frunk lid when I trade the Spyder in - any suggestions?

    Maybe a search of Ebay would help. I have found some pretty obscure parts there.

    First XT Post!

    That's awesome, a Canyon in its natural habitat.

    Sarah, when you get a chance to sit on one I think you will find the riding position very familiar.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I mounted my recycled BMW GS tail trunk on my Canyon using the BRP Linq Adapter plate (PN:860202208) for their SeaDoo SkiDoo line. It fit perfectly on the Linq mounts of the rear cargo plate of the Canyon and makes the BMW bag look like it belongs there. -

    Traded my 2019 Ryker Rally for a New Canyon Standard - First Impressions

    That is a very interesting proposition. If it can be verified that the Shad Terra bags would fit I would like to give that a try. I have already purchased the BRP Linq Adapter plate (PN:860202208) for their SeaDoo SkiDoo line and bolted it to the trunk from my old BMW GS. It fits perfectly on...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Got both mirror stems (Canyon) threaded equally in the handlebar fixtures so that the mirrors were at the same height and my OCD would quit. Then I got my phone and ear buds Bluetooth linked to the Infotainment screen. Then I went out for a 75 mile drive to revel in music in my helmet and maps...

    Canyon Test Ride

    No tire spinning on my Canyon yet, as I am still in the break in period. However, the Canyon has a Rally mode, as did my Ryker Rally. The rear tire on the Ryker spun very freely in Rally mode without the Nanny spoiling the fun. I expect the Canyon will be similar. As with the Ryker Rally, the...

    Canyon Test Ride

    To verify Jcthorne's observation, the Technical Specifications section of the Canyon owners manual lists the final drive ratio as 79/28.

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    When my riding buddy first saw my Canyon he stated that it looked like a tank. So, its Sherman

    Traded my 2019 Ryker Rally for a New Canyon Standard - First Impressions

    I traded my 2019 Ryker Rally on a Canyon std model yesterday. My selection of the std model over the XT or RR is due to my needs. I never ride with a passenger, and can add heated driver grips, back-up camera, and luggage and still come out about $1500 below the XT or $6,000 below the RR. I can...

    Canyon Test Ride

    For the record my dealer here in Texas charged me MSRP for my Canyon STD, 750 for freight, 475 for setup, 399 for lifetime battery and the regular tax, title, and license that goes to the state. I went back and looked at my bill of sale in 2019 for my Ryker and freight was less (to Texas from...

    Our next toy? - Check out this Kawasaki concept

    No! Nope, nopedy nope nope! That thing reminds of those creepy robo dogs. I watched the video and then had to pour myself a double whiskey to get over it.

    Brake failure message and no fluid from ABS and the rear caliper, any ideas?

    Shawn Smoak mentioned in one of his recent you tubes that the rear reservoir feeds the front brakes and the front reservoir feeds the rear. Be sure you are checking the correct reservoir.

    Canyon Sitting on the Showroom Floor!

    OK, here is an update. I was able to sit on the Red Rock and found that it fit my long legs very well. Mounting it is a piece of cake; just put the left foot on the left peg and swing a leg over. Once up there the sitting position and handlebar height is "commanding". It will also be very...

    Canyon Sitting on the Showroom Floor!

    My local dealer has a Red Rock model in stock. It was not yet assembled as of this morning. I am hoping to get a "test sit" this weekend. Not sure yet if they will let me test ride it.
