• 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.

    Shell Rotella promotion - March 2024 - How do you apply for Rebate?

    I see that The Home Depot is listed on the Shell rebate, and the Apache Junction store shows having 19 gallons on hand - looks like I will be stopping next week for a case of 3. Timing is great as I just used the last I had changing a friends oil.

    Shell Rotella promotion - March 2024 - How do you apply for Rebate?

    Have not found the 05w40 in any Walmarts in the last 2 years. I have been getting it at Home Depot, and sometimes at Lowes.

    Heads Up for RT622 owners

    I have a 3 arm puller that expands outward and it treads onto my 5# slide hammer. By tightening the puller as tight as I can between the hub and race edge with a few good hits with the slide hammer I was able to move the race enough to get the puller arms behind the race. From there its just a...

    Here's a Rear tire Bargin!

    Interesting that both of these have a UTOG (tread hardness)rating of over 500 were as the Vredestein Quatrac has a rating of 400. I will stick with the Vredestein Quatrac as the softer compound provides better traction, and I still get 30,000 miles on the rear.

    My experiences with Front tire mounting...

    If you're close to Mesa, Two Guys Garage will mount and balance your tires. They also do non-warranty work on Spyders.

    Are you happy with your aftermarket CAR tires?

    Vredsteins are the best of all the car tires I have tried! Fronts good for 50,000 miles Rear is good for 30,000 miles The best part is how well these grip the road - especially in the rain.

    Any Rides out of Caswell's Mora MN, or did you move it all to fb?

    I believe it's only posted in FB under Spyderriders of MN. I read the upcoming 2024 ride schedule there.

    Issues with Kenda Tires or Not?

    On our 2014 that came with the softer compound I had issues with side load in that pushed hard in corners it would skip. Made my wife ill, so I always had to drive slow when she was aboard. Switched to a car tire in the rear at 6000 miles as the Kenda was worn out, and that solved the skipping...

    Need a new shed for my Ryker - any suggestions?

    I just added a shed (Tuffshed) for storing my F3 during the summer months that were not here in Apache Junction. It's a 10' x 14' lean to with double doors on one end that open to 6' wide with aluminum ramps that cover the full 6' opening. Tuffshed is made locally, but Home Depot also sells them.

    Are Freedom Trailer wheel bearings sealed & no maintenance required?

    Not sure for the freedom trailer, but BRP states the same for the RT-622 trailer. I have replaced a few bearings seals on mine. If the hub is the same this will help https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?90853-Heads-Up-for-RT622-owners

    WOW:yikes: Now there's a tech that thinks outside the box, and that's where he should be - outside in a box somewhere away from anything with tools!

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    Interesting reading this thread today. Yesterday on our ride (4 Spiders) our ride leader pulled over to the side of the road as her RT would not shift. I didn't ask her what year her RT is, but it's in the 15-18 year range. I was able to get it into reverse, but not any forward gears. Was...

    Tomorrow will be cold with a high of only 64° , but sunny, and so it's a ride day! After tomorrow it will start the 70+ highs- now that's why we spend winters in AZ!

    Tomorrow the high is 75°, so I have a small group ride planned on a nice twisty road - capped off with some fish fry at the end!

    Your thoughts on When to change spark plugs?

    I have changed them at 28,000 miles and found them to look like new. The last set I changed them after 40,000 miles and also found them to be in great shape, and gapped within specs. I found no improvement in performance. I will try again after 50,000 miles to see if that is the magical number...

    If it's the dealer I think it is, I took mine there once - never again!

    Anyone know where I can buy 2 sets of Vredestiein Quatrac in Oklahoma City?

    I used to use Ride On, but I found that if the Spyder sits in one spot too long all the Ride On ends up in the bottom of the tire and it takes 3 to 8 miles (depending on air temperatures) to rebalance resulting in a ride that fells like it will shake the Spyder apart. Decided I didn't like that...

    What are the Highest Miles on your Spyder ?

    My 2020RTL has just over 81,000 miles on it. All put on by me. Only things non maintenance that needed replacement were the brake switch, cruise control switch, and fuel pump. All covered under warranty. I do all my own maintenance. Change oil and filter every 9000 miles using Rotella T6 5w-40...

    Anyone know where I can buy 2 sets of Vredestiein Quatrac in Oklahoma City?

    Last time I ordered from Tire Rack I checked the box that stated I was not telling them what it's for. I still got a call asking me what it was going on. I told them it was for a custom light weight trailer. He said we have trailer tires for that. I then told him I am currently running these...

    New Battery Install '22 RTL - where does the little Black wire go?

    The last two tender wires I purchased came with two black wires, but one has a in line fuse. That is the positive (red) side.
