• 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.

    Here's some New Kenda Tires!?!

    I kinda doubt it. I do remember that the sidewall on my Kenda Kanine says "For Motorcycle Use Only". My dealer asked if that was on there and I said yes. He said, "OK, then I can install it". All the dealers in this neck of the woods won't substitute car tires on the Spyder.

    Here's some New Kenda Tires!?!

    I have one in my garage, the rear tire. Kenda Kanine. Paid $96 including shipping from MotoSports.... waiting for the weather to warm up so I can have the dealer install. I guess I'll be the "test case". Still in the dark on what inflation pressure to use. I'll post the sidewall information...

    Oil/Filter and Air Filter Change out

    Yes, I took the dipstick halfway out and let it drain awhile before completely removing both drain plugs and then let it drain awhile longer until just a drip. I still got the "sploosh" of oil when I removed the filter. Not a big deal, I know for next time. I still had the oil drain pans down...

    Oil/Filter and Air Filter Change out

    I did my first "real" work on my 2017 RTS last night, changing the Oil/oil filter and replacing the stock air filter with a K/N model. The only work I had done previous to this was installing some foam grips, and putting a handlebar mount X-grip ball mount on (breaking 2 6mm bits in the process...

    Vee tire or Kumho Ecsta

    Ok I'll snap a pic or simply post the info later when I look more closely at the tire. It just pisses me off that neither Kenda or Can Am is willing/able to give me this basic piece of information, especially since the new model tire is being specifically marketed as a replacement for the...

    Vee tire or Kumho Ecsta

    I bought a new Kenda Kanine and it arrived today. Spec sheet for tire says "max pressure" is 44 psi but nobody (Kenda or Can Am) can give me a "recommended" pressure to initially set it at. Can Am doesn't even know the new tire exists, and Kenda was no help. (Why am I not surprised). I...

    My next bike

    Ok, for all the speed freaks out there who feel constrained by the 10 mph limit, here is an alternative that will do up to a whopping 25mph. I'm pretty sure that you don't have to worry about getting a Kenda tire on this one: https://www.hammacher.com/product/11102

    Questions about 2018 RTL

    Very strange that some 2018 RT's come with a 12V plug in the trunk and some come with a dual USB....:dontknow:

    Questions about 2018 RTL

    So for 2018 they got rid of the 12v plug in the trunk and the stiffness adjustment button for the rear suspension, both were very handy features for me. Did they leave the Eco Mode? That's the one I think they should have done away with. Who really uses that other than one or two times just...

    Dealer just lost all my future business

    YGBFSM! If any Spyder dealership said they were going to change my oil by sucking it out of the dipstick hole without changing the oil filter or checking the magnetic plug, I would have simply said: YGBFSM! (You Gotta Be :cus:ing :cus:itting Me!). Then I would have asked for my ride back and...

    Center 4 7mm Handlebar Bolts won't budge, Help!

    I snapped two Craftsman 7mm hex bits off like twigs trying to get those handlebar bolts off using a long handled heavy duty breaker wrench. When I finally got them off they each had about 1/2 tube of yellow thread locker on them. Don't feel bad, it's not a woman/guy thing.....they are a pain...
