• 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.

    Aluma UT10 or OHT3 - which Trailer would you get?

    This is not cheap but a great easy to load 18 ft car hauler. Timpte 718 I think the 720 is the smallest they make now.

    Need Front Wheel Track Width for 2020+ RT - anyone help?

    My wife has a 2020 F3S. The front track width (center of each tire) measures 52 inches. (As close as I can get.) I’m doing some planning for tracks on my trailer. Could someone give me the same measurement for a late model RT? Or a link to find the spec. Thanks, Scott

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    Based upon your input, I found a Timpte 718, 18 ft drop down trailer. No ramps needed. 1640 lb empty weight. They aren’t cheap but the 718 isn’t in production now, they’re just making the 20ft. Plus, the 718 has 3500 lb axles. So, I did get a little discount. Here’s the 20 ft demo...

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    Thanks for the information. I hadn’t thought about the windshield on a rearward facing Spyder. I’ve used E-Track on a couple of trailers and a truck, it works well. They do make proportional brake controllers that control multiple axles in case you want to upgrade. What brand trailer is that?

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    So if you had a dual axle aluminum trailer and a choice of electric brakes or hydraulic brakes, which would you prefer?

    Do I Have A Lemon?

    Another dealer would be good. There are lots of them here in the DFW area but as far as I can tell, they are all owned by the same company.

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    Thanks for the detailed response. Definitely planning on dual axle. Current vehicle rated for 4400 lbs when trailer has brakes. Aluminum trailer saves quite a bit of weight. Will be less than 1800 lbs if I choose wisely. Is there I trick if I need to rotate one or both Spyders while up on...

    Do I Have A Lemon?

    Really, what does the research say about alternatives to a Can-Am Spyder? In each motorcycle segment I’ve owned, I’ve had a handful or more alternatives. Competition works to improve all.

    Do I Have A Lemon?

    Yes, the latest fix seems to have taken care of the shifting issue and so far, no parking brake issues. No, I’m not worried about lemon laws, just wondering if these types of issues are going to continue. These two repairs together totaled in the $2500 - $3000 range.

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    We ride only for most trips, but when we want to go 1000+ miles and then ride, it takes too long to get there and back when you don't ride the interstates. My current need is to haul an F3S and a 500 lb motorcycle. But, if I'm going to buy another trailer, I want it to carry the F3S plus an...

    Do I Have A Lemon?

    My wife transitioned from motorcycle to F3S in January 2020. Off & ON we've had intermittent parking brake issues. June 2022, when putting into first gear, the thing would buck hard and lurch forward. Dealer service claimed that we need an entire new clutch assembly. Took about 6 - 8 weeks...

    Any one Cancelled there order yet?

    I ordered a 2020 F3-S for my wife to ride in late September. Took delivery in January. Unfortunately, she only got to ride it a couple of times before her previously scheduled foot surgery. I've been riding it some. She just got back into a shoe this week so we will ride soon I hope.

    Need trailer to haul a Ryker & Motorcycle

    Yes, I was more interested in the size of the bed needed. My load will be around 1500 - 1600 lbs. I’m looking at single axle, heavy duty 5.5k lbs or double axle. Both aluminum cargo trailers with brakes. I can probably make it fit, not sure how well balanced it would be.

    ride on tire sealant.

    I’m using it in two motorcycles and a utility trailer. I think I will put it into my Spyder F3-S. All of my motorcycle flats have been on the rear tires. Is that the same on these Can-Ams?

    Need trailer to haul a Ryker & Motorcycle

    This is the only reference that I’ve found. Very applicable since we just bought a Spyder F3-S, not the Ryker. https://youtu.be/duaSciIpbkY
