• 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.

    Eco Mode - What is this thing actually doing

    Hi Askitee, I have found that when in "eco" mode it has a detuned feel to acceleration, not much but some, say 10% (guessing). But I notice that in "eco" mode I get much better fuel milage. I too don't use the the little arrow for shifting, but go by the sound of the revs. Just my 2cents. Using...

    I had to laugh.

    Most know as has been posted here that a lot of "Harley" riders won't wave at a Spyder rider as they pass on the road. I had to laugh today as my wife and I were out with very good friends of ours - they ride a Harley trike. We were coming into a town and a "Harley" rider was approaching. My...

    Honda Neowing

    Not in that configuration. Maybe just maybe if they actually brought it out in a true Goldwing design. Saddlebags, trunk, etc. As of now it just looks like a high tec toy. Although that engine is a good one. That "Sturgis" Goldwing is nice, but don't know if they have designed one for the latest...

    Stock seat

    We found the stock seat on our RTL to not be supportive enough. We went with a Russell Day long and have been very happy with it (very supportive) And can be ordered as heated seats. They are made for your height, weight, inseam, etc. One note... on "very hot" days NO seat made of leather is...

    Dealer dropped Can-Am line because of Ryker?

    Spoke to a BRP dealer near London, Ont., Canada last year. Going out of Spyder line entirely. Told me that BRP was "forcing" him to take X number of spiders in order to maintain dealership. Doesn't mater if he can only sell X no. per year. Minimum amount required in stock to keep dealership.

    Trip

    Just got back from our "first" BIG trip - last Thursday night (2,895km). Bike was flawless. Although with two up and towing a trailer and traveling 70-75 MPH down the highways, the mileage was no heck. But that is to be expected. Don't know how, but we managed to keep dodging the rain up and...

    Pssst?

    Thank's to All. Since I've read the replies I won't get too worried about the PSSSST. Should note: With the heat wave my garage is running in the mid 90's. Don't know if that had anything to do with it. Johnny

    Amsoil 10w-40 metric oil - what do you think?

    Picked up the bike today... and had a conversation with the service department re: Amsoil MCF 10w40. Their argument is BRP (Can-Am) ?may? not honor the warranty if anything happens to the engine/transmission because... It's NOT "5"W-40 like their BRP oil. They state that everything inside is...
