• 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.

    '22 RT starting slowly after sitting on tender - replacement Battery?

    I am looking at the Yuasa YTX24HL-BS on amazon ($130) but it doesn't state its CCA rating. I Looked at the NOCO LIPO from Lamonster. I'm not sure if I want to go that way, I am limited in my Garage for power outlets and I currently have my Battery tender set up (it's a dual outlet tender, I have...

    '22 RT starting slowly after sitting on tender - replacement Battery?

    In the past when it was time to replace the battery on my bikes, I got the "BS" versions and add the acid myself. It's easy to do and simple. I only keep my bikes on the Battery Tender if they are sitting for a long time, usually during the winter. I think I am leaning towards the Yuasa...

    '22 RT starting slowly after sitting on tender - replacement Battery?

    I have a 2022 RT that I purchased just over a year and a half ago. We have been having some very wet weather here, so it's been sitting in the garage on a Battery Tender. It was a nice day yesterday and I had some things to take care of, so I decided to take the Spyder. When I started it after...

    No Competition for Can Am

    That is very true. A good example is the Yamaha FJR. 2023 was the last year it was available in the EU due to the emission standards. And the sad part is that that's where their biggest market was for the bike. The Gold wing is one of Honda's hottest selling bikes. I asked this very same...

    No Competition for Can Am

    When the V-Rod first came out, I looked into getting one. I really liked everything about it except for one thing. The size of the fuel tank, Way too small ( 3.5 gal if I remember right). I have owned another bike with a small tank (2004 Yamaha V-Max). As with the V-Rod, The V-Max has a cult...

    The "Snake"

    No, we stayed at the Comfort Inn in Fortuna. The Eel River Brewery is right across the parking area from the hotel. I found this place years ago the first time I rode Hwy 36. Now every time we are that far north we stay there and that's the go to place for dinner.

    The life that some will not understand

    When asked why I like to ride, I reply "If you don't understand, I can't explain. It's something beyond words.". But this fits perfectly.

    The "Snake"

    A couple of weeks ago the wife and I went on a road trip. I took one of my favorite roads in Northern Ca. Hwy 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna. I have ridden this road many times on 2 wheels and its a blast. I am still a fairly new Spyder owner (1 year this month). I also should mention that I like...

    What's the general opinion - Wax or Ceramic on your Spyder?

    It seems like everyone really likes Ceramic. Since Ive always used wax (Turtle Wax has always been my preference) and have no experience with Ceramic coatings. I looked up some more info on how to apply ceramic. I was wondering if it was just something you just wipe on. What I found was that...

    What's the general opinion - Wax or Ceramic on your Spyder?

    I was wondering what the general opinion of using Wax vrs using a Ceramic coating is. I was going to put a good coat of Wax on my Spyder, but I got talking to a guy about this and he suggested Ceramic. I've done some research on the web. but it's very mixed. Ceramic last longer, and Wax gives a...

    Any 2020-2023 RT Tall Riders out there?? Need advice?

    I have been looking at highway pegs, but came to the conclusion that they wouldn't benefit me. The ones out there now don't give any more "Stretch" for leg room for us taller riders. Maybe with this being said, someone with the means and capability can design and make a set that extend out in...

    Any 2020-2023 RT Tall Riders out there?? Need advice?

    I'm 6'2 , a bit shorter than you and have a 22 RTL. I got the riser block from Lamonster to raise the handle bars, then went to Corbin and had a custom seat made. I had the front part of the seat "raised" about 2 inches when they made the seat. I have knee issues, and this made a big...

    Review: New Corbin Custom Seat

    Good question. I have no idea. It may be something totally custom they made or maybe something European. . They have another one sitting in their R&D area.

    Review: New Corbin Custom Seat

    Yes there is a door over the gas cap. Very easy to open and fill up. No more fiddling with the ignition key and having to raise the seat. And as a bonus you can still use the factory backrest. Most Corbin seats require you to purchase one of theirs.

    Review: New Corbin Custom Seat

    Last Week I did a Ride in at Corbin in Hollister to have a custom seat made. I think this is the seat that should of been on it stock. (I told that to Mike Corbin, and he said that if that was so he would be out of business). I am 6'2" and the stock seat was a bit low for me. At Corbin I had a...

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    I am a fairly new Spyder owner. Bought my '22 RTL last Oct. But I have been riding for over 40 years. I also have a '08 Yamaha FJR. We do a lot of different type of riding, from day trips to 3-4 week vacations. I've tried group riding, and it's not really for me. Now I do have 1 buddy that I...

    2021 F3-S, VSS Fault at Startup

    I have a "22 RTL, and every now and then the same thing happens to me. Usually on the first time I start it for the day. It turns over a bit slow, then fires up. Then the VSS fault pops up. I was going to mention it when I do my first maintenance.

    Sprocket vs Shaft final drive

    I have owned all 3, Chain drive (1978 KZ 1000), Shaft Drive (2004 VMax,2008 FJR1300) and now a belt drive (2022 Spyder RT L). In my opinion, the shaft was the easiest to maintain (between the two I have owned, I just purchased the Spyder). Chain drive you are constantly having to adjust the...
