• 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.

    Comparison of Power Commander 5 to Monster ECU stage 1 or stage 2 flash

    Thread killer when I comment, but here it goes. I was a primary tester for both the stage 1&2 Monster flashes. Stage 2 has more of everything good over stage 1. The Dyno shows about a 22% increase across the board from idle to redline over stock. So if the nanny did kick in it was hard to notice...

    Top speed 2020 Ryker 900 ACE

    As a tester for the popular flash used by many on this forum, I want to share the following. As far as I know no flash has solved the speed restrictions on the spyders. RTs are restricted to around 108mph and F3s around 115 mph. Yes some speedo error and other condition allow some users to claim...

    Stranded by DESS Check Key - any fix besides towing?

    FYI, my charging base station phone holder has to be turned off to make the "check key" go away. No problems charging if the bike is started. I too thought about a cover over the key to reduce outside frequency interference. Just saying, there should be a simple home made shielding device for...

    Removing brake reservoir when accessing oil filter on 2021

    Removing the little tube was a PITA. It's barley visible. I can see ZERO reason to put it back in as the reservoir hangs nice and snug without it

    Shopping for a 2 wheeled Trailer to transport Spyder RTL

    Yes it's a little more that 8', but not much. I put one spyder in forward and back one up. .

    Shopping for a 2 wheeled Trailer to transport Spyder RTL

    I can haul TWO RTL Spyders in my enclosed snowmobile trailer. They come out dry and clean in all hauling conditions. It's 8"X12". Should hold your Kawasaki if height isn't an issue. My trailer has a #3,500 lb axle, but they under rate the capacity so they don't have to install brakes on it. Not...

    FYI Imotorsports does not honor free shipping on Rykers

    WTF??? Covid supply and demand is a REAL problem across all spectrums. Why would you trash a decent dealer. Any company is free too change policy on short notice. Their only fault is not doing it first on their web site. They still list 2020 RTLs that have been long since sold. They use to have...

    Are the tunes in the device or do you have to purchase each tune?

    Pedal Commander installed - OMG I love this thing!

    If you have the Monster ECU flash, you already have the instant throttle response. No you can't adjust it. With the ECU flash you get the instant throttle response that Pedal commander delivers PLUS, Instant starting without pressing any screen button, and 20% more hp across the board from idle...

    ECU flash for 2021 RTL

    1. I'm trying to confirm that the ECU flash from Monster Fuel / Wick-it will work on my 2021 RTL. 2. Trying to find the hand held tool to upload the flash. It shows on the Monster web page but no apparent option to purchase it? No reply from vendor Dennis

    Monster reflash

    You must have heard this information incorrectly or they are WRONG. I was part of the original ECU flash testing with Monster Fuel with 3 different Spyders and NEVER was it discussed at the test facility that there was a throttle rpm requirement. I have 35,000 miles on a stage 2 flash and I...

    My Spyder F3 broke down on the road today

    BRP refused my pulley under warranty. Called it wear and tear item. I'd budget about $250.

    Elka suspension - how much better is the new riding experience?

    My friend with an RT hopped on my F3L with my expensive Full Elka Suspension. Keep in mind I ordered mine to be extra plush, not sport performance minded. He didn't know about my Elkas before riding. First thing he said is how STIFF it felt going over things. I have to admit I really like his...

    Well, I have a price

    When I went to register my Spyder in Wisconsin from Imotorsports, I couldn't do it. The DOT window lady said I have to have it inspected as she sees it as some kind of home made trike. I told her she was flat out wrong. I snuck around in line again and got a different DOT window person who made...

    Cannonball or Comfort seat for F3L - anyone tried either?

    I have a cannonball set for my F3L. I found the front to be about the same as the stock seat as I have changes back and forth a couple of times. The rear is an upgrade as it has a nice pocket for support over the stock. Let me know if you want to purchase my cannonball set from me. Thinking...

    Top Speed after upgrades... or downgrades :)

    It's even more restricted for the RT. At 105 mph an RT really starts to drop off. By 112 mph the show is basically over. Yes it does manage to reach higher speeds if you are going down hill and have a couple of miles of open road.

    Top Speed after upgrades... or downgrades :)

    As a tester of the original ECU flash, it was determined that there is speed restrictions constructed in layers between the main fuel ECU and the transmission ECU. In speed runs it was determined that 1st through 3rd gear have no restrictions and the flash delivered full power. However, in 4th...
