• 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.

    Purchased a new Battery 6 months ago - now it's dead Again! Help?!

    Mine was sealed from the factory as was the replacement. No acid has to be added nor can it be added to a truly sealed battery. There is no way to add anything because it is sealed tight at the factory. There are many copies out there that are worthless. if you try to cheap it out you may not be...

    tire age - is 4 years old a concern?

    I would think so. Most tire shops will not work on anything 5 years or older. Discount Tire ( the largest in the USA) will not repair or work on any tire over 5 years old. Goodyear and Armstrong have the same policy. It all has to do with liability. Jack

    What are you paying for insurance? Who are you insured with?

    Minimum coverage would be "Liability Only". Are you sure you want it that way? Jack

    Seat wont open

    Simply setting on the seat will usually decompress the latch enough to be able to push in and turn the key to the right. At least twice a year I clean all latches with WD-40 and a brush. Next I apply a small amount of Lithium grease to the contact parts of the latches. Don't wait until it...

    Continuing DESS Issue?

    Mike did you get this from the factory or discover it yourself? I have been lucky so far and hope I will never have to try this. It is an interesting concept though. Has anyone heard how Bob Denman is doing? Jack

    Are Spyder sales Declining Fast?

    About the only thing they are interested in are their Cell Phones and "Safe Places". No interest in mechanical things. Almost every "Red Blooded" American boy used to be obsessed with cars. Not any more! Jack

    Are Spyder sales Declining Fast?

    Not sure if they are going to dump the Spyder but one would think that. Ride now is the largest Can Am dealer in the USA. They have 40+ dealers throughout the entire country. We love our RTL (2014) and am concerned about continued service if the Spyder's go by the wayside. I hope not. Jack

    Are Spyder sales Declining Fast?

    In my original post I was wondering why no RT's were in there inventory at either store here in town. Also the few Rykers and only two F3's were the only stock on hand and were rearranged and stuck back in a corner. The main area's of display were for Side by Sides.

    Are Spyder sales Declining Fast?

    I hope it is just the summer heat, although I have never visited either Ride Now's without seeing at least half a dozen RT's on the floor even in the summer. People ride here in the summer heat regardless. Not for me! I think of course the Ryker put a big dent in the RT sales mainly due to...

    Are Spyder sales Declining Fast?

    Stoped at Ride Now Sports today for a visit. Only two F3's and five Ryker's. This is a huge dealership with over 40 dealers across the country. I asked the sales manager where the RT's were and he said there were none and very little sales of the F3. Also stated Ryker sales are at a standstill...

    2014 RT Limited Questions

    Get a 665. It will eliminate the Dongle and you can listen to XM without it. The 660 is not capable of XM with out the Dongle. Jack

    Concealed carry on a RT - which holster?

    So how many of you if any have pulled your gun on someone and used it in self defense? I have had a CCW for 39 years and only actually carried few times when carrying large amounts of cash. Jack

    Toy hauler size

    Forest river makes a nice 18' Toy Hauler that is easily pulled with a 1500 series truck. Work & Play by Forest River. I owned a 18' a 25' and a 36' all high quality trailers and very livable while on the road. Of course I would not recommend the 25 or 36 for anything less than a 2500 Diesel. Jack
