• 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.

    Checking oil accurately

    A good friend who has ridden cycles his entire life gave me the best advice one day. If you properly maintain all the fluid levels on a cycle you're going to enjoy years of riding. :thumbup: Not sure why others are so eager to ignore or dismiss the instructions in the Spyder owner/shop manual...

    Personal Best Yesterday*165 Miles on 1 Tank*I challenge other Ryders to try

    165 is darn good on an RT. Reggie Tan pushed the limit on our recent OSR ride through the Hocking Hills. 185 miles on a tank. He was seriously on fumes and sweatin' bullets. Never seen anyone so happy to roll into a gas station. :roflblack:

    Teddy's New Adventures

    If you know in advance you can't get an accurate oil level reading on a cold engine then why check it at all? Doesn't make good sense to me. That's what I meant by being hard on the machine. Owners/shop manuals are clear on the subject. Next time you were on the road you could have easily...

    Teddy's New Adventures

    Well, there's part of your problem(s). The manual is clear you have to properly warm up the engine before checking the oil. :dontknow: You most likely have added too much now. :yikes: Man, you're hard on :spyder:. I'm just saying....

    OSR Catawba/Marblehead ride

    We had a blast camping out at the East Harbor State Park. Great time, great company. To say our group was a show-stopper on the island is an understatement. Hundreds of people were taking pictures of us as we road around the island. Got our first really odd question too. "Where can you rent...

    FYI Michiganders

    The OSR club is headed up to East Harbor State Park there between Catawba and Marblehead on Lake Erie. We have a group staying up there in the park this Friday and Saturday night. Planning to tool around the area...take the Spyders on the ferry to Put-in-Bay, maybe make the run to Cedar point...

    Automobile Tire Pressure on Sypder

    I'm in the 235-245 lbs range depending on the weather. Since these are not OEM tires therfore nothing official available the thing to do ask others running the same tire and then just do you're own thing. :D A tire with a max (cold) pressure rating of 51 psi running at low 30's psi to me...

    Automobile Tire Pressure on Sypder

    Good question and thanks for asking. Tire is rated with max PSI at 51 (cold temp) so that's where I put it initially. Was obvious the sides were wearing faster and it felt "bouncy" so I dropped it way down to 35. Then the centrifugal force at speed started wearing on the center. Up to 40...

    Automobile Tire Pressure on Sypder

    I use Kumho Ecsta AST on rear and after miles of experimentation I settled right at 45 psi. Even wear on edge and center. :D

    Ride-On for your Spyder

    couple of pictures of Ride-on still in the tire after being run in a Kumho Exsta AST for around 12,000 miles. Looks almost the same at when it was put in.

    OSR Mickey Fisher Ride with guest Reggie Tan

    Rear tire??

    I got about 8,000 on the first set of OEM's on the front due to alignment issue. I'm on 17,000+ and counting on the 2nd set of OEM's with Ride-on in them. Plenty of tread left. :D Ran about 14,000 on the rear OEM. I'm on 11,000+ with the Kuhmo Ecsta AST and getting the 2nd one slapped on...

    Flash Mob at the shoe

    :agree: Spot on about the NFL hall of fame. That was a very fun gathering, except for 1 Spyder. But boy was it hot on that asphalt. :yikes:

    2012 Can-Am Spyder Roadster info and pics !

    :agree: That lava brown couples with the tan seat look very strange to me. Makes the seat look like it's immediately an aftermarket item...IMHO.

    Lithium battery

    The $329 mentioned in this thread is for the top-of-the-line battery good for cycles that have a V-twin 1800 cc and above. 1800cc - vs - 998cc. Does that sound like apples to apples comparison. :dontknow: It's more than just weight folks...click the link and research. I seldom if ever rely...

    Lithium battery

    Funny...they say the exact same thing on their web page about comparing. :D My point to replying was I thought you were quick to discount the whole anti-gravity idea in your second reply RR. At least now you've looked a little deeper into the details to formulate an "edumecated" opinion (you...

    Lithium battery

    Wow..that was a quick segway to an engineering discussion wasn't it RR? :roflblack: At least now this is being examined a little bit closer rather than trying to quickly discount the option in the first reply. My work here is done. :D :yes:We now return you to your normally scheduled...
