• 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.

    Spyder Motor Oil Query - Soliciting Opinions (((Pics)))

    ~~~I’m right there with you Mikey, wanting to use oils (in my Spyder motor) that have the MA2 rating. That said, the opened gallon bottle of Rotella T doers not have the MA2 stipulation. Speaking of being on a trip and needing oil, I recall coming back from WeSToc in 2002 riding my 93’ Honda...

    Spyder Motor Oil Query - Soliciting Opinions (((Pics)))

    ~~~thanks for the attaboy Mike but the good picture taking credit solely goes to the camera I was using. On that note, its my opinion that the photo quality is always better in natural light whereas I shot all of these photos in my humble abode’s kitchen Here’s the back label of the Rotella...

    2021 Spyder RT Limited- Left Front Running Lamp(s) out, need help troubleshooting

    ~~~thanks for the info. I’m not concerned about purchasing the light, if it turns out to be a dead light display. I bought my Spyder from Cycle Zone Power Sports, the Topeka Kansas Can Am dealer, the sales manager there has always treated me fairly (I bought ny Ryker from him too). I have an...

    2021 Spyder RT Limited- Left Front Running Lamp(s) out, need help troubleshooting

    @tnt- I’ll poke around LaMonster’s site later to look for the video you mentioned. I’d still prefer to have a well written paper manual to work from, if such an animal exists for my Can Am Spyder. Being a car guy in another life growing up in Detroit there was a vendor who worked out of his home...

    2021 Spyder RT Limited- Left Front Running Lamp(s) out, need help troubleshooting

    ~~~yes, roger that, check for power at the lamp connection. I’ve never attempted to gain access to this connection. Does anyone have instructions as to how to access the back of this connection? Or, another way to put this question, is there a manual available for sale that describes step by...

    Crappy pic, I know but, as the post title states, the left front running lamp(s) is/are out (not lit) Jake likes to ride but he isn’t that swift when it comes to troubleshooting electrical issues, so how to proceed repairing? Not interested in taking it to the local can’t am dealer. Want to...

    (Was Looking to buy... ) Now Have bought this 2017 RTL - Well she's mine!

    I know some run them longer and I have (regrettably) too but IMNSHO, 5 year old tires on a motorcycle (3 wheeler too), it’s time they come off. Tires even in this high priced world we live in is still a low cost investment. I know it’s campy but I like Michelin’s ad campaign (you have a lot...

    Who has or has not had problems with their Ryker??

    ~~~ that would be a fun one to correct. It looks intimidating removing all that needs to be removed in order to lift the bodywork away in order to have the room needed to R & R the errant gasket, but if you had sheltered room to get the body up, we’d likely find getting the old gasket off and...

    2020 RTL - Anyone think they will ever update the bluetooth to work with other device

    ~~~I know how you feel. I wear a half helmet the majority of the time riding my 21’ RT Limited and I like to turn the volume up while riding. The stock speakers and radio aren’t bad at all IMNSHO Best, Jake Reddick Fla.

    What Differences between 2021 and 2022 Sea to Sky?

    ~~~Hey Pete! What’s the attraction to ride w/o the rear trunk? Is it strictly a cosmetic issue? I can’t imagine the rear trunk affecting the ride in anyway, as far as negatively affecting the ride, like getting in the way, constricting movement, or am i missing something?!? I ask as when I...

    What are your Thoughts on a 2015 RT? Anything to look for/watch?

    ~~~my only concern would be the age of the car tires installed. Since it’s 2015 model, it’s already 7 years old. Rubber has a way of drying out with age. Since you mentioned prior to retirement you were a mechanic, you already know this. Some reading this might not know there is a date code on...

    Might just try a snow tire ...

    ~~~looking forward to reading what you have to say about this tire’s all around performance Troop! As some have mentioned, winter tires tend to have a softer compound which results in faster wear in warm/dry conditions. That may be so. Last time I purchased winter tires was for an F-100 Ford...
