• 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 is your opinion on the plastic oil pump gears?

    Re Ford using nylon camshaft gears - in most of their 1970's V6's 2.8 L engines applicable globally, they were nylon teeth but the crank gear was steel. Yes, they broke at unexpected times, but the engines were (are) non interference, so there's no issues with that other than the rather not so...

    Are you using Tie down straps to secure a Spyder with e-track in an enclosed trailer?

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking... Thanks to all who posted up. My trailer also has 6 D-rings installed in the floor, so I might use those. Can I get a bit of clarification tho, how exactly do you guys run the strap over the rear tire? Front tire? IIRC, one of you posted that they use e-track...

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    Georgia also needs a motorcyle endorsement. Both my wife and I took the MSF online course and then the CanAm 3 wheeler course at a local Can Am dealer. Georgia does have an "autocycle" endorsement too for things like Polaris Slingshots ( which I had at one point ).

    Are you using Tie down straps to secure a Spyder with e-track in an enclosed trailer?

    If anyone is using Erickson e-track tiedown straps with Erickson e-track wheel chocks, (or Macs, which is similar). I would like to find out the following so I can make an informed purchase: 1.

    Review: My new Stinger Trailer arrived!

    Yep, you will end up spending about $4500-$4600, plus state registration if required and also insurance if required in your State (but why wouldn't you want that?) I have used my Stinger to trailer my 2023 S2S to BajaRon's place in TN from Atlanta area, no issues whatsoever. Well built.

    Weird Spyder Behavior this afternoon - sudden power loss & 'bucking'! Any ideas?

    I am surprised that with all the issues with batteries (300-350 CCA ) some enterprising person hasn't come up with a battery box/holder and extension cables to put a 500-600 CCA battery in the frunk. Seems to me that would solve all the issues of starting and running power. Then the only other...

    Will a 2024 Sea to Sky let me navigate via my Samsung phone?

    Note: Google is releasing a new Android Auto update. One of the features is... motorcycle support and directions supposedly. Hmmm... I wonder if that supports dual BT connections to bike and helmet? Should be downloadable in a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll try that on my Samsung Note 20 5G...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    Pic of the three pin connector would be nice! Rear view/front view cams typically are three wire and use a power wire plus the video wire(s). If RCA video that might be a 2 wire type. However, they don't necessarily use an RCA plug end. Sometimes there are up to 4 wires in the wire bundle for...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    Well rear view would be nice. Does ACP support a rear view camera? Anyone install one? But I use Samsung Android Galaxy Note S20 5g. :( I was thinking about a Carpuride unit that used front and rear cameras which would eliminate all that kerfuffle.

    New Battery - Ride Report

    @eddieshep999 all the 2024 and 2025 will have the crappy Haijlui batteries. My 2023 S2S also had a Haijlui and I replaced it with the one mentioned previously from Batteries plus. It was cranking slowly after 6 months. The 2024 S2S I made the dealer replace it at 1 month post delivery with a...

    How do you '24 RT riders pair BT headsets with Android Phones?

    I dont use iPhones but I do follow the Sena 50S instructions that say to pair the helmet set to the phone and then the phone to the bike. Works on my Samsung galaxy 20 5g phone. I do update the phone regularly and BT is reporting version 5.2 on the phone....

    I Killed My Battery - left it on a tender... New battery awaiting collection!

    Hmm. I use a 3 and 4 amp Battery tender in my garage. They get swapped from my Spyders to my 2002 Miata and then outside to my 2017 Ram 3500 dual battery Cummins diesel. No issues whatsoever... If those batteries are dry and you get the acid with them, then be sure to add the acid, then charge...
