• 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.

    Time for a new rear kenda

    Yes, in size 205 60 15 ... really good in the rain and sure footed. Check with Mike on here and Ron, they are the tire gurus that are up to date with the latest and best. Mike made me aware of the Vredestein tires and he was on the mark with the improvement they added. Good luck getting new...

    Time for a new rear kenda

    Best upgrade ever was ditching the original kenda and putting on some real tires. I'm running vredestein quatrac which have been awesome and helped a lot ... (along with the addition of Baja Ron's stouter sway bar and aluminum heim joints). Now my old RS rides like it is on rails and has...

    Reliability of the Spyder

    I have been fortunate to never have a major issue with a motorcycle I have owned... from a Cibi mini bike of youth, through Hondas in college, into Harleys and now onto the 3 wheels of CanAms. I still ride a 2010 RS and will update at some point (I'm 63). The RS has worked flawlessly so far...

    Foot Peg Recomendations For GS

    Thinking of the same for mine. I'm still riding on stock pegs, but have lamonster's highway pegs with the bigger tridents to stretch out on. My RS is a SM5 so any recommendations on which larger pegs/adapters work well with the manual shifter? Thanks. Time to do some tinkering as winter's...

    Who Uses Shell Rotella T-6

    I bought a rotella t6 5/40 at FleetFarm in Wisconsin last month for 40. Shell had a 20 rebate on the size, so it was 20 for 2.5 gallons. I use Rotella in the Spyder and Deere mower, and my other small engines too. It has run well in all of them and its nice not having different oils for each...

    which was your most spectacular tour ??

    Maggie Valley and the Smokies are a beautiful destination, as are the Ozarks through MO and AR. Roads are great in both destinations too. Bonus!

    which was your most spectacular tour ??

    Have enjoyed all my tours but one of my favorites is the Circle Tour around Lake Superior. The scenery on the north side of the lake is awesome, but the entire circuit is beautiful... or ride the north and then head east along and around Lake Huron. Added bonus is that the road is great...

    2021 S2S motor blew up!

    I wouldn't settle for a new engine... time to invoke lemon law and require a new spyder to replace. Replaced engines can go okay or be a setup for huge problems down the line. I had a replaced engine by GM due to failed bearings that resulted in a truck fire a few years later when something...

    Snow Spyder?

    Snow, brine, sand, winter is not for Spyders in WI... to say the least for stability on snow ... and unexpected black ice encountered when you don't see or expect it. My Spyder hibernates in the garage on the battery tender when fall is at an end - just like the harleys it has replaced used to.

    2022 all new ghost model

    I saw somewhere that they were working on an electric Spyder as a concept ... not my cup of tea but maybe something in that engineering line of development?

    Long road ahead. We've been praying for you. Remember, "In Christ I can do all things!" God has blessed you with healing and will continue to strengthen you inside and out as the days go forward. Blessings to you.

    New Tires and slipperiness

    If I'm going to be riding in rain at all (touring) I try to at least get 300 miles on new tires on dry roads before pushing them in rain. That's just me ... even with 4 new car tires... cautious for about the same distance til I know they are a bit scrubbed and grip well in wet.

    Just wanting to say hi to the group

    Hang in there, it will come with a few miles. It took me about 1000 miles to train my brain to think spyder. The first year I was reaching for a hand brake at first a lot, then not as much. By season 2 of riding... that was programmed into my brain too. I'm 63 and have been riding since jr...

    Rotella Deal at Fleet Farm

    I've done rebates with them several times and always have had the rebate come to me.

    Rotella Deal at Fleet Farm

    I just bought a 2.5 gallon jug of Rotella T6 5/40 that was on sale at Fleet for 39.99. Rotella has a $20 rebate on that size container. 2 1/2 gallons of T6 for $20 makes for a couple very inexpensive oil changes. The offer from Rotella is good until 12/31, so if you see their products on...

    1330cc 2022 New model or not?

    A friend who works in R&D for Indian said they did well working through the pandemic last year. Sales are flying high and new product stream has not been impacted for them. They can't build especially the Polaris label UTV's fast enough to keep up with demand. Bike sales have been excellent...
