• 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.

    What would you change on the Ryker?

    I feel the same about all Spyders, the nose needs to be refined. The Ryker has been the model I like best simplicity wise, but I don't like cruiser seating. The GS/RS/RSS is my prefered model for that reason, so mainly with the Ryker I would raise the seat 8-10 inches, new subframe for sportbike...

    Harley Clamping Down on Owners

    The original GS exhaust that met federal standards would have burns and holes form, there was a Hindle exhaust for the GS that was offered supposedly for off road use and it had problems. Slip joint gaskets that failed at the mid-pipe(Honda parts worked better) and exhaust connection. Later...

    Hindle

    The aftermarket filter and exhaust did a lot for these, many of the original stock exhausts and the Hindles had a short life(burn thru and popped rivets). I think it was 09 when they lowered the horse power on Spyders and had a software change to do the same on the '08s. I would still use the...

    New Can-Am Ryker rider in Mesa

    I saw one at the Border Patrol check point near Sonoita, that's the only one I have seen so far.

    My Yoshimura went boom, 2012 Can Am Spyder RS SM5

    This is recent activity, may still be available...the twin can is the one you want, it usually holds up better. https://m.facebook.com/groups/31362956903?view=permalink&id=10156678484796904

    A video drone happened to be there that day, the local drone racing team has been chasing events there recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE5pWtkrXXo&feature=youtu.be

    Rear Wheel Bearing Brand Prefernces

    Yes, it was new-old stock '09, bought it in 2010. It's been a great machine, spent some time on the track here, I haven't done that with it for 3 years now. We just go scrambling around on it, we ride the Triumph Street Cup and Ninja 400 more often. If the Ryker had this same seating position, a...

    Rear Wheel Bearing Brand Prefernces

    I just went with the stock bearing and soft parts from Cheap Cycle parts IPC. They have all been delivered and getting changed Tuesday. I have a few other bikes to ride, not as busy on the Spyder in the past few years. These bearings have over 30,000 miles on them. I will try to come up with...

    Rear Wheel Bearing Brand Prefernces

    Had a rear tire change today and a bearing is starting to fail, which means it's time to change regardless. None in stock in the area and several options online. Any brand prefered choices? Thanx

    Burnout Spyder RS

    Sensor rigging most likely or they possibly got them deactivated via BUDDS (which I don't think is allowed by Can Am dealers) like in the original videos to show what the spyder benefit of the sensors were compared to no VSS TC ABS functions.

    Loose Mirror Arms

    If it won't tap, try a heli-coil...or maybe try that first. It's for a situation like this if you are not familiar with them.

    09 RS Exhaust Slip-On Experience needed

    There are 90' mandrel bend elbows available, some vendors on here sold them and ebay. I think they were all 2 inch dia. Check RLS Exhaust for a quick cheap short exhaust as an option otherwise, I would probably have RLS, but I make my own tips from car parts and sized up hardware.

    Very Low Battery and electrical noise

    How did you wire the speaker system for power and ground? The relays that power the bike may not have great contact and could be why your fuel pump was chattering and lights came on. Mine needed slight twists to the relay leg contacs recently, the power steering was out. You may be getting noise...

    Southern AZ dealer for service

    Does Sierra carry Kumho or anything else besides Kendra? I still have a some tread on the rear, but the tire has seen a lot and getting old.

    Ryde the Devil's Highway

    I have heard Dragon Tail is better maintained, but that's it. The New Mexico parallel side of this is highly patrolled, AZ side seems more loose and lets you enjoy vehicle handling. Fresh tar snakes and hot days need caution, they poor them thick.

    08 GS won't start

    Did the new battery get propper charge time, the type battery they use in Spyders are a little touchy, semi wet glass matt/ gell cell. Does the electric steering assist feel like its working? Should be difficult to steer with key off and easy with key switched on. Maybe run an alligator clip...

    08 GS won't start

    That ground under the seat is a little tricky to clean and tighten, the instrument screen going blank and reseting kinda points at a bad ground, the relay is willing but the connection is to weak to handle starter power demand.
