• 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 radio is worthless - any solution to this problem?

    Reading these posts makes me glad thhat I did not succumb to all the hype of the 2020+. My ‘14 sound system is no better or worse than what I had on my “wings”. I’m sitting on a motorcycle for gosh sakes, not sitting in a concert hall, so the sound quality suffers. I use my oem speakers with...

    Is Reverse A Low Gear, Or Higher?

    I agree Mike, but.....remember that with the “wings” you had to balance the bike while you were back-peddling with your feet. Not so with the Spyder.

    2020+ RTL seat rain cover - what are you using?

    I’m still on my 2014, but for a rain cover for me seat, I use my @$$, and yes I might have on my rain pants, depends on how much it’s raining. If parked in the rain at a hotel/motel I use whatever I can find. i’ve been known to buy two loaves of bread while riding to use the plastic bread...

    Two weeks to flatten the curve

    Yes.....much the same thing in the ‘50’s here in Canada. Elementary school students lined up, marched into the Principle’s office (just a 4 room school...no full time nurse, just a visiting V.O.N. Nurse) for all our different shots/vaccines. I don’t recall them even getting the parents...

    Try this Paint protection from bug and road gunk!

    I don't think that sliced bread would work very well.

    Re TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS. Which one?

    I also have the FOBO2, and as previously mentioned have never tried or investigated anything else. Peteoz says that he replaces the button battery every 6 months, but from what I've seen with mine, the battery lasts well over a year, possibly 2 years. Like Pete0z suggests, check your tyre...

    Having problems getting insurance in Canada - who do you use?

    Do CAA insure all motorcycles? I wasn’t aware, or are they only doing the excess limits? Full liability as well as physical damage coverage to the bike itself?

    Will the 1330 engine adjust based on gas octane changes?

    I went a few tankfuls with 87 octane and did not notice any difference. Then my reasoning kicked in as I’m getting older.... I’ll be 80 in 2 weeks, my eyesight is getting worse, as is my hearing as well as my general health. It started thinking am I missing something? For the original price...

    What are you all using for Phone Holders on the handle-bars?

    Spyder-cuff from LaMonster with the quad-lock for me. Solid mount with little or no vibration.

    Having problems getting insurance in Canada - who do you use?

    First off, I wouldn’t telephone the Insurance Agent....go to see him in person. It’s easy to hang up a phone, but more difficult to brush off a customer in person. Are you talking liability, collision or both. In B.C. The liability is I.C.B.C. (Government Insurance) which is B.C. only but my...

    Those of you that Concealed Carry on your Spyder, what type of holster do you use?

    I take it that you do not attend church sevices.

    A question or two for those who carry firearms on them when riding

    I really don’t know, being Canadian, but I do think that most Americans feel much the came way as 2dogs describes....at least I hope they do. It would be a sad day indeed if the only way out of a situation was a GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL!

    What things need to be done to a new machine?

    It really doesn’t make much difference as to what the “true” tire pressure is, as long as you use the same pressure gauge when checking your left front and your right front tires and keeping them as close as possible to the same reading. As for the overall pressure, the majority of gauges are...

    What things need to be done to a new machine?

    The TITLE summarizes your question...”WHAT THINGS NEED TO BE DONE TO A NEW MACHINE”. The long and short of it is “NOTHING”. Nothing NEEDS ro be done. The machine is “just fine” the way it is. I went a year before I started adding anything (other than the drivers backrest, which I NEEDED, not...

    Are there any Canadians out there? Anybody?

    You’re asking about “local” riding clubs. Canada covers a very large area. Please let us know what “local” means to you.

    What bike did you ride to get your motorcycle license ??

    My first ride, and what I got my M/C license on was a 1949 Royal Enfield 500cc thumper. The “test” for my license was to ride a figure 8 around 2 power poles in a grassy/gravely field without having to put my feet down, which of course I managed to accomplish. Prior to the actual “test” I had...
