• 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.

    Looking at 2012 RT Limited

    I have been checking dealer pre-owned selection in NW Iowa and SW Minnesota, and there are not many available. Some dealers have no pre-owned units or very limited selection. A dealership I visited had only new units. Goes to say that if there are not many available that the asking price will...

    Looking at 2012 RT Limited

    There are not a lot of pre-owned Spyders showing up around here. I have found a dealer, in Des Moines who has a 2012 RT limited, with 7100 miles, for under $12,000. Waiting to hear back from them on trading my 2009 RS. May have to make a run down there to take a test ride and see if we can...

    Another dealer dropping Spyder Line

    Larry L, that is good to hear. I will most likely use the Algona location for service on my Spyder. It is a nice ride from Spirit Lake to Algona. I ride down to Lost Island fairly often. Nice country riding between Terril and Ruthven. I really like my Spyder and hope these smaller dealers...

    Another dealer dropping Spyder Line

    There are small shops that will work on wings. I prefer the Spyder, but riding 100 to 200 miles, or more. for a oil change, makes things more difficult We have a Indian dealership locally that services the major brands, but not Spyders.

    Another dealer dropping Spyder Line

    I stopped by Jaycox Powersports, Worthington, MN. To see what they had in stock for Spyders. They told me they are discontinuing the Spyder/Ryker lines. They will continue with other CanAm products. This means I have to ride further to get service for my Spyder. They are about 40 miles from...

    Dead on the Interstate.. - latest update

    You indicated this happened near Ames, Iowa. As far as I know there is a dealer in Ames, who also has a location in Grimes. Hicklin Powersports. We have stopped in the Grimes store to look a couple times, when we were in Des Moines to visit our son. No experience with them though.

    Rough idle 1st gear chatters

    When my 09 RS did that putting new vacuum lines and Baja Rons plug wires took care of it.

    Good old Walleye Chop, when the wind is blowing. Glad you are having fun on the Ryker. I enjoy riding in the evening also. Iowa is a windy place.
