• 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.

    Newbie Transmission question...

    For us (her) it will be used. Never will take a loan out for a new toy and don't have that kind of cash for new. As far as a Ryker goes, it will be be a touring model as we go on long trips and comfort and storage is King. If I can't find what I for her that we can afford with cash, then we...

    Battery recommendations

    Odyssey batteries have always been my go to for the Goldwings. Quality heavy duty AGM. I would imagine that they have the proper assortment for the Spyders. Tim

    Newbie Transmission question...

    The used Spyder supply around here is somewhat limited (at this time). We have ha ways to go before we're ready to purchase anyway. We still have to sell her bike first. The ones that I have seen have all been manual with a clutch. She would be rusty with a clutch but would adjust. She is...

    Newbie Transmission question...

    I told you there would be Newbie questions... hahaha. So, the Spyders with the manual transmissions, the ones with the clutch and the left foot gear shifter... 1) Is the shift pattern like a standard motorcycle 1 down and the rest up ( N-1-N-2-3-4-5)? 2) Is there a centrifugal clutch that...

    General Spyder info needed...

    Definitely want the touring! That's part of the catch too. This bike is *almost* exclusively for my lovely bride. I would rarely drive it (what's mine is ours and what's hers is her own) hahaha. However, when we're out on a multi day trip, I can imagine that it might be nice at the end of...

    General Spyder info needed...

    I like the newer panel. I am not (wife hates) the plain LCD look. I am more of an analog gauge kind of guy. As far as the BRP Connect goes, having one on a machine wouldn't sway me at all one way or another. It's something that wouldn't get used unless I could connect to the ECU and alter the...

    General Spyder info needed...

    Peter Aawen, I was listening... just mixed up? I thought I heard a few people mentioning that these engines would self detonate from time to time. Maybe I got mixed up with another. We can do with out a huge amount of Sporty. No need to tempt her but tour-ability... definitely! I am assuming...

    General Spyder info needed...

    To continue with your car analogy... we're looking for a Sedan for her!! She she does like to twist the wrist a bit to much at times! hahaha I am not so much interested in the power of the bike unless it's drastically under powered. She gets along with anything and maybe a lower power one for...

    General Spyder info needed...

    Hi Everyone! I am new here... about a week or so. I don't have a Spyder but that's the reason I am here! I am reading this site from cover to cover. A lot of great information here. My wife is selling her 2 wheeled bike. She is becoming, or should I say has become very uneasy being on two...

    just out of curiousity would you go to a event

    We would not attend any events until this pandemic is complete. As a matter of fact, I believe that all of Canada is under a mandatory "Stay at home" order. Some provinces (like ours here in Nova Scotia) are really clamped down so this does not get out of control here. We have had our spring...
