• 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.

    Replaced the OEM battery on my 2021RTL (Pic)

    Posting strictly to keep my post count respectable = :) Have had some battery flat issues in the past, always chalked them up to listening to the radio with the motor off. Also, have taken the OEM battery to a knowledgeable battery purveyor in the past to do a load test with positive results...

    Seeking help with front Fender Shimming, 2020 & later Spyder RT

    When I was in my early 40’s I wised up and purchased a motorcycle lift from Handy Industries. The one I have is operated with compressed air & IIRC this lift was a birthday present from Mrs. Jake as she didn’t care to see me roll around the garage floor to work on my motorcycles. Fast Forward 25...

    Seeking wisdom from the list about how best to lift the front with a jack?

    I could use some assistance por favor. Jake is wanting to swap front tires on Cretin Girl, his 2021 RT Limited. I have no experience lifting the front end or either front wheel off the ground. I did some messages with Mike (BLUEKNIGHT911) awhile back and IIRC he said I could get a conventional...

    What size tire/wheel valve stems are used on 2021 Spyder RT?

    Hi! I’m replacing the front tires on my 2021 Can Am Spyder RT Limited soon. The valve stems in the wheels are likely good for years to come but, it’s not a hard job to replace tire/wheel valve stems, so long as I can buy the correct size. Is this an item I can order from Amazon, which would...

    Anyone here like to drink malt liquor?

    Just wondering. Normally I prefer a lighter beer but last week I picked up a 4 pack of Anheuser Busch Hurricane High Gravity (8.1% Alcohol by Volume) Category 5, in 16 ounce cans. Jake’s professional opinion *, not bad at all. Tastes like beer w/o being overly gritty?, if that’s a legitimate...

    Is this a Nanny Issue?

    Hello all!, I had an experience riding my 2021 Spyder RT Limited home on the local interstate last week which caught me by surprise. It’s approximately 15 miles between the city and my rural homestead. I was on my way home after running some errands in Ocala (Fla.). I-75 has 3 lanes between the...

    Imagine my surprise

    When I touched the buttona (pronounced Boo-Tahn-Ah) and she said “forget it Jake, I’m not going anywhere w/o a jump”. Okay, she really didn’t talk to me (She, is a 2021 Chalk RTL), and if you haven’t figured it out, my battery when I went to hop on this morning and head to the local tag office...

    Jake sold his Ryker Rally

    Had a lot of fun with my 2020 Ryker Rally. Never rode her much, only 4300 miles, due mainly to the boat anchor I live and work on, the family farm. Anyways, I traded her in on this gun ship- I didn’t stray too far from the family Best, Jake Reddick Fla. Today your love, Tomorrow the world

    Seeking wisdom of the list. I’m picking up a 2021 Spyder RT Limited next week from an out of state dealer. Just wondering what the consensus is in regards for the need of a driver backrest for the stock seat. Would it be wise to have one added before I pick it up, and then I would imagine it...

    2020 Ryker Rally Brake Light Staying On

    We (Nick, my carpenter & I) were rebuilding the wash rack for our horses on the one end of the barn a week ago when my wife strolled up and asked me if I knew my Ryker’s brake light was on. I had no idea so I investigated it so the first thing I did was to pull up on the brake pedal using my...

    Holiday In The Sun (a shakin_jake trip report)

    It’s rare for me to get enough time off away from our farm to do even a few multi day getaways yet wifey promised me a minimum of 4 days in a row that I could “get out of Dodge”. Last time I did something similar (leaving the farm for an overnight or three) was MLK weekend 2019. Yeah, it’s a...

    How easy to use are the SM foot pedal shifters?

    ####hey Peter!, how hard/easy are the manual transmission RT’s to shift, assuming they have a shift lever you actuate with your left foot? I ask because, I got a robotic left knee February 2018 and my recovery therapy didn’t go well at all. In fact that was the main reason I purchased the 2020...

    Troop’s Viking Motorcycle Mesh Jacket Recommendation

    I ordered my jacket from Amazon on the 16th of this month (June 2020). Was scheduled for delivery on the 20th but Amazon missed the mark. I may be wrong but I got the feeling the driver didn’t want to deliver it over the past weekend. I’m on the end of their route judging by the scheduled...

    gaba. gaba we accept you one of us

    Just picked this up (2020 Ryker Rally) March 14th. All I can say is, it's totally awesome!, especially when you have it in sport or Rally mode, at speed and turn the handlebars full circle on some dry leaves like she's sitting in. I've come to the conclusion, the short time I've ridden the...
