• 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.

    Ryker Ryde

    Hello, I owned a 2013 RT Limited with most performance and comfort modifications one could buy. I finally got it to be comfortable after a couple hours in the saddle. I like long trips even overnighters and week long. I had to sell it and it was time. I sat on a Ryker at the dealer close to me...

    Selling your Spyder

    I do realize that there are many reasons that people sell their Rydes and the circumstances behind them are all different. I want to make a point about this topic on hopes of helping someone else. If you need to or just want to sell the Spyder, it really can be a quick sale but you need to do...

    TricLED is definitely the best

    In 2015 I bought a 2013 RTL with many of the Farkles that I wanted to add anyway, like the white, yellow and red fender lights. On the way to Spyderfest 2018 the left front RED fender light cover came off. I stopped at TricLED while at the event and told Cindy that the byke came with the...

    Hot weather Northern ryder

    This should start a firestorm, though I am looking for good advice from the southern Ryders or those with experience ryding in HOT sunny climates. I live in Ohio, though we have our hot days, they tend not to be brutal as I know they can be in the south. I need to make a trip on the Spyder to...

    SE Ohio Spyder Ryde 2018

    This was a great Ryde promoted by Rick and Teresa aka. Value Accessories. This started by them just a few years ago as a local Ryde to replace the abandoned Ohio Spyder Ryders. Since then and obviously is has grown a lot. This year there were Ryder stars that I met from Ohio, all four...

    Hydrographics solve the problem

    I made some changes just recently that others have encouraged me to post here, so I hope that you like it. I have a 2013 RTL and last year I noticed that the rear plastic behind the wheel was getting quite oxidized, despite my use of Armour All, Lamonts Diamond product and other products, so I...

    Exhaust Wrap

    I am planning on wrapping the exhaust pipes on my 2013 RT-L. I bought some good wrap, 2 inch wide, material and am in the planning stages to do this. Someone once told me to wet the material before wrapping. Is that correct? If so, are we talking about soaking it or just getting it wet and...

    1st Spring Start up

    Both last year and this year there was a challenge getting my 2013 RT-L up and running. I would try to start it just as I always do, but I have to crank it and crank it and crank it to get it to finally start. I try to give it some throttle after it does not start, then I do it without, then...

    Air Cleaner inspection

    I have a 2013 Spyder RT L and just did my own DIY oil change. I thought that i would check the air filter while i have the body parts off. I believe this is the black box just under the steering mount. It appears that there are 8 clips, two front, back and each side. If that is it, how in...

    Security movie

    I just watched the Security movie on Netflix. This is the one with Antonio Banderas and he rides a Can-am F3 against the bad guys. If you watch it, the F3 comes in at about the 1:30 Mark of the film. If you like action films it is pretty good. It also is fostered by Liam McIntyre, the star...

    HD owners educate me

    I never owned a Harley and most likely neve will. I have always enjoyed visiting the dealerships and viewing the lovely steel sculptures and the other items for sale. My wife has bought a helmet and some jackets there, but that is about the extent of it. I have two two neighbors that own...

    Have any of you had experience with First Extended Service Corpoartion Service contract. They are out of Chicago also known as The Warranty Group? They have a Comprehensive plan that seems very similar to a New Spyder policy, better than the BEST. The dealer wants $1,396 for a 36 month plan...

    A Arm Bushings - can I do it? Any video of it being done??

    It seems that I need new A Arm bushings on my 2013 RTL. The dealer wants over $450 to replace them, I look at it and wonder if I could do this one. I am sure some of you have done it, any advice, positive or negative are welcomed. Are there any videos out there that you know of for this? Joe

    Group of Spiders

    I decided to look up the proper name for a collective of spiders. Apparently it is called either a Cluster or a Clutter. So, does that mean that the name of some of these events should change? Should we change how we reference the events, as in the Cluster At Maggie Valley, or the Clutter in...

    '13 Gauges

    After removing the fuel and temperature gauges last year on my 2013 RT, I have been promoting this change to anyone, with some that have been critical. The 2013 has a six gallon tank and I used to fill up when the analog gauge showed near empty but rarely put even four gallons in the tank...

    Maggie Valley event

    I have two questions regarding the 2017 Maggie Valley event. 1. Is anyone else in Ohio going to it? Maybe Michigan? If so, are you interested in riding together or sharing a cabin cost? 2. Where have people stayed down there before? Does anyone know of any tent campsites nearby? Thanks, Joe
