• 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.

    Buying my first Spyder Have some questions.

    Where is the battery located? That was a deciding factor when I purchased my 2016 Spyder RT-S SE6. Older models have battery under rear of seat. In my opinion, a pain to get at and work on. Newer models have battery in front and easy to service.

    Solo to Alaska

    Gravel Roads???? Years ago, when we went to Alaska, we ended up driving our truck on a lot of roads under repair, for many miles at a time. One section of road under repair was 30 miles long!!! I've always wanted to do the trip on my Spyder but gravel roads concern me. Is that only a concern...

    What happens when you have flat FRONT tire going 75mph??

    What I've read is that the Spyder will still track straight ahead with one front flat tire. I'm interested in interstate/freeway speed. I would like to hear from someone this has happened to, and get their view of such a situation. I drive a 2016 Spyder RT-S SE6. Just want to know what to...

    Can I remove the footbrake (I have a handbrake) on Spyder RTS.

    I did remove the rubber foot cover and like it better. Will probably get a pair of foot pegs to extend my legs and give my legs a different riding position. I do have a little right hip pain issue with certain leg position from time to time. Wish the seat was more narrow, like the old goldwings.

    Trailer Sway (Is it A Problem?)

    While driving our car west towards Boise, ID, I-84, we were passed by a two-up Goldwing motorcycle towing a small enclosed cargo trailer. We were driving at about 75mph. The cargo trailer was swaying from side to side. Not a great amount of sway but made me think it did not look right...

    Hey Ya'll We Got A New Member! Lets welcome HagermanSpyder to SL

    Retired since 2002. Started riding motorcycles in 1964(junior in high school) and have had a 2-wheeler ever since, until my purchase of a 2016 Can Am Spyder RT-S SE6 last year. Finally realize that a Spyder will not fall over, when you come to a stop, like a motorcycle could. Live in...

    Can I remove the footbrake (I have a handbrake) on Spyder RTS.

    I removed the rubber footbrake pad cover and will try that for a while. Now I feel the foot brake lever move (on the side of my foot) when I apply the handbrake. No big deal. I like the floor boards better than foot pegs, so will keep them. Floorboards allow me to move foot postion more. Only...

    Can I remove the footbrake (I have a handbrake) on Spyder RTS.

    Only reason I was considering removing the footbrake was to give my right foot more space to feel comfortiable(move around). I'm going to remove the rubber footbrake cover and see if that makes any difference. Thanks for info.

    Can I remove the footbrake (I have a handbrake) on Spyder RTS.

    I had handbrake installed because my right foot never fit well with footbrake. Considering removing pad on footbrake lever and see how that works or remover level all together. Is it easy to just remove lever to give me more floorboard foot space?
