• 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.

    Do you still have a regular motorcycle along with your Spyder ??

    I got the RTL for two-up cruising, with knees problem I couldn't hold the VStar1300 with my wife on very well. Bought a 2013 RTL with 45 miles on it, sold the Vstar1300 3 days later. Keep the 2013 Honda CB1100 for solo riding for now. Been riding for 45 years, can't give up yet, I think it's...

    Dealer Rip-off?

    Toys vs Essentials. I'm sure all the Can-am dealerships read these complaints and laugh all the way to the bank. The problem is these Spyders are consider toys to most people and dealers know that so they charge for services at unreasonable rates. Any of you who own boats any personal...

    Thinking about buying a Spyder RT Limited

    I too come from two-wheel world, my knees can't handle the 700lbs full dressed cruiser any more. Sadly to say, I did not take my wife out on that Vstar1300 last year at all. I rode it in April alone and decided it's too heavy for me. I had the bike for 4 years and really liked it. I still have a...

    Mirror Lake Highway, Uinta Mountains Utah

    Beautiful pictures. We try to go up that Mirror Lake highway every summer for a little day trip. Haven't made it this year yet, next on the list though. Maybe we should take the Spyder instead of the Crossfire this time. Cheers.

    is it just me

    I think there are too many little switches on the left pod so they couldn't make the turn signal switch move very far left or right, which makes it a little touchy. The implementation of flash-3-times is a wonderful idea IMHO. Cheers.

    How many miles on your current Spyder?

    2013 RT-L 450 miles. Bought it 05/12/2020 with 45 miles on it. Had to replace all tires and battery for sitting around too long.

    Ideal Kenda rear tire pressure

    I recently purchased a 2013 RT-L with 45 miles on it, yes forty-five miles on a 7 year-old machine. Apparently it had been sitting with close-to-flat tires for years so they all have flat spots. I did some research on this website and seems like everybody recommends something different than...

    Want to test ride an F3L

    One guy told me that Corbin makes very comfortable seats for different models of Spyder. He has a RT-S with Corbin seat and said he rode for hours nonstop. You might want to look into that if sore butt is the only problem with your RT-L. Unless that is an excuse to get a new Spyder. Another...

    What rear tire choice staying with the OE 225/50R-15?

    I purchased a Kumho AST 225/50r15 car tire on Amazon for $85, took the rear wheel off - quite a bit of work- then took the wheel to Discount Tire to have them mount it. The problem is the wheel bearing diameter is too small and they could not balance the tire. The guy told me that the wheel is...

    Wheel Locks

    Hi All, Thank you all for your thoughts and sharing your experiences regarding the matter. So I'm not the only one wanted to get wheel locks. I think a little peace of mind for $30 is quite a bargain. Happy riding! It's nice weather out there. Cheers.

    Wheel Locks

    Hello All, I'm just wondering if anybody here is using lug nut wheel locks for the the front tires of their Spyder/Ryker. I'm thinking about getting a set of wheel lick just like they have on SlingMods.com or similar or even one lug nut lock per wheel just like on a car, I know the RT-L using...

    My Demo Ride today

    I come from two-wheel world - still have a CB1100 - and I did not even ride the '13 RT-L I purchased a month ago until all paper work was done. I rode it home about 7 miles avoiding freeway. The Spyder is for sure different than motorcycles and cars. I put about 300 miles on it in the last 3...

    New Kenda Kanine Rear Tire for 2013 RT-S

    My dealer told me that they charge extra if they mount and balance a tire they didn't sell. I removed the rear tire on my RT-L and took it to Discount Tire and they mounted it but could not balance because they did not have a small shaft to go thru the wheel bearing. the guy told me not to worry...

    Being seen

    I have been riding motorcycles for over four decades now -health issues forced me to get a Spyder -but I am still learning and try to avoid idiot drivers every time I ride. It does not matter if you have hi-vis stuff, loud horns, loud pipe, if an idiot driver does not pay attention to driving or...

    Oil change - anyone used a oil pump / suction tube?

    Hi All, I have been using a MityVac vacuum pump to suck oil from dipstick tube to change oil in all my vehicles for over a decade, and never a problem. Those vehicles include 3 Mercedes with V8, 1 Audi with V8, 1 Nissan with V6, 2 Mercedes with V6. But now I can't do that to the BMWs because...

    Coolest, best vented mesh riding jacket?

    I have a Tourmaster Sonora mesh jacket for two seasons now and it seems to have good air flow through it . It came with two liners so you could use it year round except I don't ride when it's below 45 degrees here in northern Utah. Happy riding.
