• 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.

    Moderators please help

    Please delete my account. I have no interest in this forum after having my post deleted over my GOOD review of a specific tire a member was asking for peoples experience with. Another member was giving a different opinion of the tire, which he had never owned. He was offering his opinion of the...

    Any more feedback on Kenda Kanines?

    The op didn't ask for opinions he asked for people that had experience with the tire. None of the people that are saying how bad the tire is have ever owned one. That is an oponion.

    Any more feedback on Kenda Kanines?

    If I had the bad experiences with Kumo tires that some of you had, I may feel different. I've been a Spyder rider since 2019. The tires are comparable to what I'm use to on my motorcycles. If I could get the proper size and construction to use the recommended air pressure, I wouldn't be opposed...

    Any more feedback on Kenda Kanines?

    I've put the Kanines on my last 2 RTLs when the OEM wore out. I traded the last one before I wore the Canine out and only have 6000 miles on this Kanine. I like them. They handle fine wet and dry and seem to wear longer than OEM. I'm not concerned with getting 50000 miles out of a rear tire on...

    Why is my 2019 RTL getting poor fuel economy

    I don't think I've ever gotten 40 MPG with my 2019 RTL or my 2021 RTL. If I'm driving off interstate 60 mpg and under using 6th gear when over 50 MPH I will get high 30's. Interstate driving 75 and up (in 6th gear) I will be in the mid to upper 20's.

    Reliability of the Spyder

    I have a 2021 RTL new this spring. I put over 15000 miles on it this summer. I went from Maine to Tennessee, to NY, to NH all different trips. I also rode every weekend when home around Maine. It never left me stranded. My NY trip was even solo. I'm as confident in the Spyder's reliability as...

    F4 Windshield with or without vent?

    I went with the taller & wider windshield. My wife didn't like all the air she was getting in her face. I did get the vent and I can feel the difference in wind drag with the vent open, especially in windy conditions. I also run the windshield all the way up to give her the most air protection...

    Cornering Nightmare - Update

    As another poster suggested. You need to find someone who has experience with Spyders and swap machines. See if he has the same problem with yours or you have the same problem with his. If you both agree its your machine then you will at least know where to start. This may save you a lot of time...

    Any suggestions for a Good seat treatment?

    I use Lucas Slick Mist on everything. Paint, plastic, seat and have even used it on windshield until I got some F4 windshield cleaner. The F4 makes the water roll off almost as good as rain X.

    Radiator Cleaning 2020RT

    I spray the bugs with solvent to soften the bugs then rinse with garden hose till clean. I'm not a fan of grill guards with smaller holes to stop bugs and air flow.

    Aftermarket products. Does anyone know anything about anything?

    Unfortunately that is a sign of the times. It happens to all of us and some of the vendors will communicate and some won't. Good luck with Lamonster's.

    Anyone know where this picture was taken?

    I know where that is. I think I had my picture taken there before.

    Alignment question

    Is the only adjustment for alignment on a Spyder toe-in? I was looking at my front suspension closely for adjustments and all I see is adjustable toe links. Am I missing something.

    Monster reflash

    I called Wicket Performance today and they told me I need to keep the RPM's up to 4200ish after the flash stage 1 or 2. I'm thinking that won't work for me. I do too many long distance trips. 4200 RPM's is between 70 and 80 MPH. The only thing I would accomplish is I would have the Spyder with...

    Monster reflash

    Will these reflashed ECM's last for the life of the Spyder. I don't mind spending my money on something that works, but if it only works for a season, that is wasting money in my opinion. The reason I ask this is I have puschased the sequential turn signals for the front fenders and they lasted...

    Here's some New Kenda Tires!?!

    I put 26PSI in rear. I'm keeping a close eye on it hoping the center won't wear out as bad as the last tire. I don't think you can stop the center from wearing out first, it's just the dynamics of it.
